Restaurant bewertenWe had a wonderful evening! Our only criticism is that we ate too I had as it was s good! Miranda took good care of us. The oysters rock and calamari were great (we’re spoiled no one else’s calamari is as good) as were the crab cakes and we’re Baltimoreans so we know crab cakes the scallop, Grouper w confit it was all great. Thank you Oceanaire team for a great evening
Visiting Oceanaire in DC was a memorable affair, as we ventured to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and the place was a feast for the senses.Admittedly, the menu made my wallet wince a bit but, the high end ambiance of the restaurant offered a fitting backdrop, making each dollar seem like a worthwhile investment.Portion sizes at first glance were modest but delivered a culinary depth charge, leaving me unexpectedly satisfied by the end of the meal.Cleanliness was on point throughout the restaurant, extending even to the bathrooms a detail that didn't go unnoticed. However, a small puddle behind our table became a somewhat quirky landmark for the evening, receiving more foot traffic than attention from the cleaning crew.Our waiter was impressive with a deep understanding of the menu and offering solid recommendations. The ambiance, while sophisticated, was surprisingly quiet. It was like participating in an unspoken agreement to whisper, making the sound of my heels feel amplified.Lighting in the restaurant was somewhat challenging. It was rather dim, with a blue hue being the predominant source of illumination. This could potentially pose a difficulty for individuals who rely on lipreading. While the mood lighting was aesthetically pleasing, it's a detail the restaurant might consider addressing for better inclusivity.All things considered, Oceanaire is an attractive option for those looking to make an impression during a first date or celebrate a significant occasion. Just a little tip watch out for puddles.Parking: Valet was $25, but you’re greeted immediately if you’re not visiting on a busy night. However, if you’re there close to closing, Valet will bring your keys to your table and park your car out front on the street.
Ate here for the first time ever on 7/29/23. We 've been to a lot of the fine dining places in the area (Capital Grille, The Bygone, The Charleston, etc. and I must say out of all of the places we 've been the Oceanaire was the best experience out of all of them so far.Atmosphere was a very chill vibe, with elegance. Loved it.Service:Our server (shoutout to Colin was the best server we 've ever had. Extremely attentive, professional, kind, and helpful. Here are just two things (out of many that stood out about the service:1 I loved how he went over the menu with us in multiple broken up sessions (example: go over the starters first, then leaves the table and comes back to go over entrees, rinse and repeat, . The pacing was extremely nice, it felt perfect. He also had extremely helpful food suggestions.2 Being asked to cut into my steak as soon as it was set down in front of me to make sure it was cooked properly is awesome. I 've been to fancy steakhouses that don 't even do that.Food:We had a few oysters and the octopus to start. My goodness....so good!My wife had the Chilean seabass with crab meat and I had the new york strip with the Massachusetts Sea Scallops (both of our meals were Colin 's suggestions .Our food was so freaking good .....and bonus we got a nice portions, so that means food to take home! We love turning our entrees into multiple meals (more bang for our buck! . The sides were shareable so we picked a crawfish and andouille risotto which was also freaking delicious....The dessert (baked alaska, which is torched marshmallow on top of icecream and delicious sponge cake that Colin torched in front of us himself was one of my all-time favorite desserts i 've ever eaten!The cocktails were splendid and very well made too.Overall the food and drink were just spectacular. The amazing service and atmosphere pushed everything over the top (thanks Colin , which is why I ranked Oceanaire higher than the other fine dining restaurants. We will be happy to come back here! At the time of this writing we were told they offer a really great deal on Oysters at the bar on Sundays.Parking: Beforehand I called and they said they do NOT offer valet parking (which is contradictive to what somebody else had posted in some Q&A thing I read online about this place , so I was bummed about that... however....I parked in the nice parking garage for the Four Seasons (you are allowed to park in there and it only costed me $10 (on a Friday night and it was right across the street so I was happy about that.
We went to Oceanaire for Baltimore restaurant week. The food was excellent and it has a very high class feel inside. Our waitress Shanika was amazing. Their restaurant week special is a 3 course meal for $55 a person. Everything from the Salmon to the Strawberry shortcake was a mouth party.Food: 5/5
Excellent meal. Loved my entree, and fabulous service. Very accommodating for my sister’s dietary needs.
