    It was our first time checking it out. We frequent the ocean club and used to eat at fig & olive all of the time, so while it was new to us, it felt like visiting old friends. Kylie, our server was fantastic. A real pro. The chicken fried lobster tails are definitely worth trying. Try to resist filling up on the delicious buttery bread, if you’re able to resist a second piece, you’re more discipline than I am . I had the Mediterranean fish and it was delicious. My wife had the New York strip, which is also delicious… I stole a bite. She loved it as well. Wouldn’t change a thing about the entire visit.

    As a first time guest I was excited to try the steaks I had heard they were good but when I actually tasted it it was better.

    This is our second visit to Ocean 48 and it did not let us down.  As soon we walked in we were greeted and seated in timely manner.  our server, Andrew and his supporting staff Andy and Daniel were amazing and their communication and attention to detail 10/10. The manager Brent checked on our table several times, which is an amazing to see management care about their guests. The following day I received a phone call from the restaurant to make sure our dining experience was great. We cannot wait to go back.

    Robert was a wonderful attendant, the whole server team was excellent. A hand written card was presented to my girlfriend as it was her birthday. They made the occasion so special. The hanging bacon was excellent, we had it well done. The Salmon was perfect and the Cod was exceptional. The suggested mashed potatoes were so creamy and the roasted head of cauliflower was perfect . The coconut cream desert was on the house and was delectable. Large portions, enough for dinner the next day, and it was just as good. Cant wait to return for the 45 day aged ribeye.

    Firstly the privacy in the booths was amazing; our table booth had exposure & views of the kitchen The food service was outstanding & the food preparation & quality were Best of Class I had the Chilean Seabass & the birthday girl had a delicious filet steak (12 oz) Migration Pinot Noir paired well, & a very custom drink was mixed too We were most thrilled with Ocean 48, and the honey coated bread served is incredible The birthday cake selection was the cookie & cream, and it’s to die for I have no idea how we entirely consumed it
