The Oceanaire Seafood Room

Visited Oceannaire on Christmas Eve this year and it was a little mediocre. The service and atmosphere were classic Oceannaire, but wasn't really impressed by the food. We started with the calamari, shrimp tempura, and a few salads. I wasn't a fan of the calamari, but the shrimp tempura was alright. The salads were solid. For dinner, I tried the crab stuffed grouper topped with the crawfish etouffee. It was good, but sounded better than it tasted for me. My wife ordered the lobster tail which looked pretty standard, and my mother ordered the crab cakes which were pretty good. For sides, we went with the Brussels, Gouda Mac and cheese, and creamed corn. The sides were probably the highlight of the meal. For dessert we went with the baked Alaska. The presentation was cool, but it looked much better than it tasted. None of the food was excellent, which is disappointing because a few years ago I remember the food being outstanding. Between the 3 of us, we spent about $450. We went to STK across the street a couple weeks ago and the food was twice as good, but the bill was twice as high, so idk 😅

The only reason I put 4 Stars instead of 5 Stars is because they tried to charge me $9 more for an entre than the price listed on the menu. When I brought it to the waiter’s attention he said he would go to the manager. He came back and said the manager gave me a $9 discount. No. The manager did not, he honored the price on the menu. He did not give me a discount. Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Chilean sea bass was to die for. Truffle mash was delicious. Also loved the oysters and escargot. David, the waiter, was awesome!

I love this restaurant! It remains classy, classic, offering superb service, a nice upscale atmosphere, comfortable booth seating, and yummy food. I love places with great service. The parking isn't the best, as far as the walk from the parking garage, but that is usual for in city dining. It's conveniently on Peachtree right in the heart of Midtown.

Celebrated our 40th Anniversary this evening. We had their specials. The food was good, a bit rich for our taste. We like a stripped down version of our food, less sauces as they tend to have extra salt. They do offer simpler versions of their fish and seafood with butter only. Service was attentive and we were greeted several times with a happy anniversary. Dessert was complimentary, Baked Alaska. Our only caveat is be prepared to spend lots of $$$$.

My first time taking my Dad to The Oceanaire was in 1998 in Baltimore. Now, we both live in Atlanta. He enjoyed his Turf and Surf. The Crab Cakes, creamed corn, and Key Lime Pie were delicious. Our server was great. Doesn't have much to offer for non-alcoholic drinks. Parking was $16 in parking garage.

The restaurant has a dress code but we went on a Thursday at 2pm and they served us in jeans. However the atmosphere is definitely upscale. My 1st time eating raw oysters was amazing! I wish I could remember my server's name which maybe Kevin not sure but he was amazing. Definitely worth giving it a try!
