We choose the location to meet up with our daughter, who is in college. We went to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The restaurant was busy, but we were seated right away. We valet parked which was so helpful. The service and food was excellent. They even gave my husband a birthday dessert. Will definitely go back, if we are in the area.

We had a group of 11 for a late lunch. We ordered appetizers, main dishes, sides & dessert. Everyone was happy. The seafood dishes were great, even the non seafood fans loved their selections of grilled chicken. The food was fresh and the service was awesome. We asked our server for many suggestions . We are looking forward to dining at O SEA again!

The food was very good, as usual. We both had the soup and flatbread combo, and the new cauliflower and cheese soup was outstanding. I would have preferred a different cheese in the mushroom flatbread as the feta overpowered the subtle mushrooms, but overall, very tasty. We will definitely return.

This is real, authentic Italian pasta, the best you’ll find in the south coast area. It seriously tastes just like pasta you’d find at a nice place in Italy. The ragu is my favorite. In my opinion the prices for pasta are a little high for such a casual place, but I keep coming back, so clearly it’s worth it. The service is always very good as well. The patio is nice with a fire pit and good heaters. It’s in the camp which provides nice ambiance, but parking is a nightmare. It took us 15 minutes to valet.
