It was my wife's birthday, and she ordered the bone-in filet. The steak was ordered as medium rare, but came out a bit overdone. This was a bit uncomfortable, having to complain, but the staff took care to get her another steak, which did come out right. Also, we were compensated for the error with paid drinks.... The only real issure we had was the people who take care of parking the cars: They hardly speak English; they have no personality with the customer; and, half of them don't seem to know how to work in a valet service where the lady passenger is treated properly by taking care to open her door.... I would give the valet service here a two or three at the most.

The ambiance and service were outstanding! Most of the food was great, I was disappointed in a couple of items (scallops). But overall I highly recommend Ocean 48 for an excellent dining experience. Their focus on customer service and providing the best experience is one of the best I have experienced.

The bone in filet was amazing. The branzino was amazing. The bacon was amazing. The devil eggs were amazing. The crab legs were fishy and not worth $150. The asparagus was undercooked 2x we asked they to cook it more. This was our 3rd time here. The service was very good

Jason was awesome. His recommendations were spot on. Loved everything we ordered. Oysters, clam chowder, octopus, branzino, pork chop, key lime pie and beignets. We were stuffed and had leftovers. Thanks Jason for a great dinner experience.
