"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."
