Ocean 48 offers a pleasant dining experience with good food and a nice ambiance. The service is exceptional, with the staff being described as friendly and attentive. The bread served is soft and warm, enhancing the overall meal. The standout dish is the "little neck clam," praised for its freshness and perfect cooking. The "signature fried chicken lobster tail" is also noted for its freshness, although the breading could be improved. Additionally, the "Hokkaido scallop" is fresh but lacks sweetness. The "off-menu New York steak," which is actually Wagyu beef, is surprisingly good and tender. Guests appreciate the outstanding service, with staff going above and beyond to provide a memorable experience. Customers suggest the restaurant should be more transparent about off-menu items and their prices to avoid surprises. Overall, the seafood is good, and the restaurant is recommended, especially for the "little neck clam." Guests also look forward to trying the "bone-in Ribeyes" in the future. With beautiful décor and a thoughtfully designed seating area, Ocean 48 has become a favored spot for celebrations and date nights.
