The food and drinks were wonderful . Although, our server was not very attentive. We found ourselves constantly having to ask for things instead of him anticipating anything we needed . Such a nice restaurant for the service to be so disappointing

Great room. Just right for two to hear each other with normal volume conversations. Great wine list and helpful Somm. Found the crab cake and shrimp scampi disappointing. Very good black cod.

The best of the best. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all 10/10! I've been a long time customer of Oceans and its always been a wonderful experience. This time we were celebrating my birthday and we were a table of 10. The manager was so kind and even after we were seated I asked if we can be moved to the private room and have a round table which he accomodated with a smile. That made our night so much better! Everyone loved the experience and I am so grateful to the management and the servers and the kitchen staff who did an incredible job making us all feel so welcomed.
