Always enjoy the delicious food at Oceanaire and the staff are always so helpful. Definitely recommend to others.

This was a wonderful dining experience! Our hotel staff member recommended the Oceanaire Seafood Room - DC, and myself and my two adult sons enjoyed a terrific meal. The food, from the seafood tower to the Chilean Sea Bass to the Baked Alaska was phenomenal. Paige, our server, provided excellent, friendly service, and the ambiance was much to our liking. We will definitely be return customers when we visit Washington - DC again!!!

Great restaurant, great service. We had a 40th birthday dinner with a group of 10 and it was the perfect setting. Our server Nelson was 10 out of 10 amazing. everything he recommended was great and overall we had a great experience would definitely come back again.

We had another fantastic dinner at The Oceanaire! The atmosphere was welcoming as always, and the highlight of our evening was Wayne behind the bar—he makes a perfect cocktail. The steak was cooked exactly medium rare, just the way we like it, and the hashbrowns were perfectly crisp. Between the stellar food and consistently excellent service, it's no wonder we keep coming back. Highly recommend!

Can I just say the service here was the best I have experienced in a really long time! The waitress was lovely, the manager came to chat with us a couple times and we shared great stories. Food was plentiful, enjoyed the menu options, everything was really yummy. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience overall. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the hostees and escorted to the table. The waiter was pleasant, attentive and provided great service. The filet mignon was cooked exactly as I ordered it and I enjoyed my experience overall. The oysters were also fresh and I would recommend this restaurant.
Linda
Everything was outstanding. Delicious food and from the time we walked through the door, superb service. I'll be back soon. Highly recommended!

The food was okay!! The crab cakes were good but our salad was drenched in salad dressing and the lettuce was soggy. We tried a few other things that were average. Our waiter was all-over the place we had to ask for our drinks to be refilled. He was so busy talking and sharing stories with another table he fell short on taking care of his own. We spent 200.00 definitely not worth it. Disappointed we won't be back...

Food was good but the service was subpar. Actually, I was very irritated by my server. He opted to pay very close attention to a party of six instead of my party of three. I like to think that I'm a very hood tipper but I think he saw the men in suit and figured he would get the best return on his investment if he spent it with them. After chasing him down, we finally got a drink refill and offering us a desert menu was an after thought. He is the reason I will not come back to Oceanaire. Even though he was horrible, I still gave him 15%, not the 25% I usually give. I hope the other party had a great experience...mine was horrible.

I made reservations for this past Friday night to celebrate my husband's birthday and heard they had some of the best oysters and many recommended this establishment. Everything was confirmed and I was even sent a text message to confirm we was on our way. Upon arrival, the host wasn't welcoming at all and asked for the name the reservation was under. I gave her my name and she said she couldn't find my name and she didn't even try to figure out why I wasn't showing up or ask for our confirmation number or email. So she tells the girl that we don't have a reservation and to just seat us. She proceeds to sit us at a very small table directly next to someone else. So close that we could hear their entire conversation. At this point my husband was annoyed and I asked the host why we couldn't sit at a booth and say tells us it is for reservations only and even if you had a reservation this is where YOU would sit. I returned to the host desk to show her my reservation email and this is a special occasion and she only said oh okay, we will update everything to show you are here. Well she never did. Our waiter who was AWESOME never said anything about it being a birthday occasion and I received an email later that night from open table saying I needed to confirm that I really attended and thankfully it didn't charge my credit card for a no-show. I am very big on customer service and how you treat someone but it seems as though they could care less. And by the way these "reserved" booths stayed open the entire time we were there.
The food was good and we had a great waiter but when you spend $300+ you expect top notch service from the time you enter until you leave.
