Food was very good and service was exceptional. Took for a birthday was treated amazingly and great for dates.
I expected better, the service was bad until I flagged a server down. The food was basic and I wished I had went somewhere else.
From the moment I step into the restaurant, I know I'm in for an exceptional experience. Whether I'm dining with colleagues, friends, or family, the impeccable customer service, upscale ambiance, and mouth-watering cuisine never fail to impress. It's fine dining at its absolute best—consistently second to none.
I was extremely disappointed with my experience. I visited with three other friends for Restaurant Week. The reservation was for six at 12 noon. Ultimately, four of us came but at different times. We were seated immediately. We received water after being seated for 15-20 minutes. I had to ask for the Restaurant Week menu after being seated -- it wasn't just given to us when we arrived or at the table. At around the 35-40 minute mark, only two of us were seated but the waitress hadn't even come around to speak to us to ask if we wanted to at least start with beverages/have bread, etc. I ultimately went to the host stand to ask who was our waiter/waitress and if he/she could be sent over. She came to the table shortly thereafter, didn't say hello, give us a name, ask us if this was our first time, any questions about the menu -- did we have any other beverages we wanted -- nothing. The two of us that got there first went ahead and ordered from the RW menu before everyone else arrived. The food arrived -- the waitress never came back to ask how was the food, did we need anything else, or to even take away the plates. By the time all four of us were there and had eaten food, we had a pile of plates that we were trying to consolidate and stack in the middle of the table because no one came by to remove the plates after we ate! Interestingly enough, a waiter named Carlos would check on us from time to time. He's actually the one who gave us our desserts and carryout containers for leftovers. The service was so bad and we were treated so poorly, that our tip to our actual waitress was meager whereas we gave Carlos a 35% tip because he at least treated us with kindness and professionalism. That was a horrible experience, and it is not a place that I would recommend to my vast network spanning public and private sectors that I've built over the past 26 years since moving to DC -- not to mention my large network from the volunteer organizations of which I am a member.
Fish (grilled branzino) was perfectly done and oysters were excellent. Excellent wine list. Excellent service.
Thank you so much 😊 Oceanaire Seafood 🍤 for hosting my Fine Dining Group with the special of my pre celebrating 🥳 my birthday. Paige our waitress was EPIC and the food, drinks and atmosphere were AMAZING. I was so glad to see my sorority sister who has come back to VA and will be part of Fine Dining to the end of this year. Thank you 🙏 again Oceanaire for making my first visit PRICELESS!
Absolutely loved the Oceanside Seafood Room. The experience was top tier from valet service, warm greeting, bar service, ambiance, amazing food at great prices and best customer service I experienced .
We enjoyed the delicious food (ribeye and lobster perfectly cooked), the teamwork of the wait staff, and the complimentary dessert for our anniversary celebration. Many thanks to everyone.
Everyone really enjoyed their meals. Servicer was very knowledgeable and attentive. One of our favorite places to dine at.
A wonderful birthday meal and experience. The baked Alaska was a highlight. Thank you so much, Chante, for serving us with supreme service and attention!

Me & the girls had an amazing time!! Will definitely return soon !! Service was amazing & the food was exquisite 🥰
I am a Landry's club member and like many of their restaurants, including Mitchell's in Columbus, OH, Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor , MI and McCormick and Schmicks everywhere. My last visit to this location was less than satisfying, but perhaps it was cheff's night off.
My daughter and I came here after attending a Bridgerton experience. Our sever Neslon did a wonderful job! We got the spicy tempura shrimp and chicken pot stickers. The shrimp was amazing, the pot stickers were just ok. I got the Mediterranean bronzino and my daughter got the 10 oz filet mignon and we shared the yummy truffled mash potatoes and garlic greens and the shrimp fried rice. I told my daughter we could have just had sides because they were so good. Both the steak and the fish we very good. All in all it was a wonderful experience. Several people came to make sure we had our drinks filled. They also have Valet parking, which was fine with me because I hate trying to find parking in DC.
I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. It was a special dinner for me and my companion in celebratinion of my birthday. The waiter was very well informed about the menu and made good suggestions from the menu. His approach and manners were professional. Although this was not my first visit to Oceanaire, I will continue to visit.
I have eaten here several times, but the service seemed very off last night. I had the lobster special which was great, but wasn't given any crackers to crack the claws.....
