“ What a great experience. Celebrated my birthday here and the service and food were both amazing. I guess when in good company, it’s always a good time but our waiter Issa was kind and patient with us. He was very personable, just provided excellent service. The waitress who helped him with our table was also very kind. Issa was nice enough to take a group photo of us by our table as did the waitress on our way out. The food did not disappoint! The baked Alaska was mouth watering. It exceeded my expectation. Highly recommend and can not wait to return. Thank you for an amazing birthday dinner! ”
“ We created these balloons for an event at The Oceanaire! Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommend this venue for private events. ”
“ I am so glad I found this place! I saw their menu on line and photos of the food including the crab cake...it's true Maryland style crab cake with little filler and huge chunks of sweet blue crab. Keep in mind they are an appetizer.If you like crab you need this in your life. The first night I stopped by I ordered one and went back the next night and had two. I sat at the bar and the bartender Kevin was great, very attentive and made me an incredible chocolate raspberry martini. They have a wonderful seafood menu including a raw bar but also offer steak and chicken. There is a good wine selection and dessert options including baked alaska which is a rare find. I had the lemon blueberry cheesecake after being told its seasonal...it was amazing and made in house! This is definitely the top seafood place on my list in Boston. I'm not sure if there is a dress code but it has an upscale atmosphere. I look forward to going back! ”
