Wonderful meal. Casual setting and nice space deceiving from the exterior. A great evening with friends.
Excellent experience all around. Very knowledgeable staff, prompt and friendly service and great food. Don't just go by the regular menu. The best things are on the specials board.
Or server #1 was excellent ๐. The food was 5 stars and we all would order again. Wonderful evening ๐๐
First time there because we wanted to try out a new seafood restaurant. Although this place was highly rated, it hard to see why almost from the first moment we got there. We had requested the main dining room. It was a 7:30 reservation. The manager said he was closing it soon and we would have to eat in the front patio which was loud and drafty. The acoustics in that front room were terrible. I ordered grilled prawns for an entree and they brought out 3 prawns which was more than ten dollars a prawn. It was so embedded in the outer shell, I had them take it back and remove the shrimp so it could be eaten. The other dish was bouillabaisse. Normally there is plenty to eat for a such a dish, but not this one. The food was ok but it was not enjoyable at all. We won't be returning for a second round another time.
I discovered Oceans several years back when driving through McDonald's for my then 15-year-old daughter. The restaurant sits on the corner of a very non-descript strip mall, however the food and service is anything but boring. Oceans is a small, intimate restaurant with limited seating, although there are a few tables on the outdoor patio. The owners also wear the hats of wait staff and greet you with a welcoming hello when you arrive. A large easel (which takes up what little walking room you might have between the table next to you) is positioned at your table to educate you on the specials for the evening. The specials and other items on the menu are abundant and diverse, from fresh seafood to aged beef to delicate pasta dishes, there is no bad choice. We have tried and thoroughly enjoyed the steamed clams, Caesar salad, blackened salmon, lobster pasta, and aged filet mignon over our last several visits. Of course, your meal is not complete without indulging in their house-made Tiramisu or Limoncello sorbet (my favorite)! I would be remiss if I didn't mention their extensive wine list, and the owners will be happy to recommend the perfect bottle to compliment your meal. If you want to check out a wonderful gem in the desert, you must try Ocean's. But please be sure to make a reservation a few days in advance!
Great food, great people. Nice simple bistro with an amazing selection of foods and drinks.
Definitely a top notch restaurant. A couple of our servings weren't cooked as we expected but not to a level we didn't enjoy. Service and atmosphere are awesome.
Very accommodating with seating requests and customer service. I will go back with out-of-town guests soon.
The food was good. Seafood tasted fresh. The restaurant is a bit dark, but quiet. The service was great. A bit pricey with small portions.
Superb food if a bit slow on service. Worth the wait. You wont be disappointed. I had the seafood pasta and my friend had the veal scallopini. Both excellent!

A local favorite! Fabulous team, food, drink and service. A local little spot with decades of experience behind them. Consistent. We love Ocean's.
๐ Thank you to Luigi and Mario you are super. ๐
We had a fantastic holiday dinner at oceans. The food, drinks, and service were top notch. We especially appreciated their extra effort to accommodate our short notice reservation. Looking forward to dining there again soon.

Love these local hidden treasures in strip malls. As a foodie (hate that term, but it is what it is), I do love innovative, cutting edge chefs and emerging ethnic experiences. However, there is also something warm and comfy about well done, timeless standards from bygone ethnic formats (European) that are seldom done justice. Oceans puts tremendous love into their classics with service (attentively paced) and ambience to match. โTwas the first time for us, and we can't wait to feel their welcoming embrace (and perfectly executed dishes) again, soon.
We love coming here to celebrate special occasions.. Last night was to celebrate my retirement!!! Thanks for the free shot!!!
