The Oceanaire Seafood Room

06/14/2008 Posted by Tracer51

I wanted to find a special place for dinner to take my date, and this place exceeded all my expectations (and hers!), The staff was very attentive and friendly, and the food sellection was wonderful. Everything served is fresh and flown in each day. The selection of fish and wine is not to believed. You can see from the attitude of everyone, they wish their guests to have a wonderful dinning experience. I looked at some of negative comments made about this place and I can only say they must have been talking about another place! The only "problem" I had with the place was that with so much variety on the menu it was hard to decide what to order!!

Pros: Great seafood selection. extensive wine selection

Cons: None!!!

The Oceanaire Seafood Room is truly a unique experience compared to all the Orlando restaurants available. It is the one place I can go and know when I walk through the door I will be greeted by the management and host staff as if I were family. The staff is knowledgeable on the drinks and menu to help you make the right choice of what to have. The atmosphere is like a relaxing getaway..I love the palm trees and oyster bar! The food is out of this world. I cannot go without having the fried calamari and lump crab meat appetizers! You really can’t ask for a better restaurant. It is the one that you will talk about after you leave wanting more.

Pros: Great Location in Pointe Orlando- Good for a night out on the town for dinner and a movie.

Dining at the Oceanaire was truly pleasurable. Our party of six was seated promptly and treated royally. The manager and wait staff were attentive and solicitous. The food was superb. We ordered six different entrees and each was prepared perfectly. The portions were more than adequate and each entree was accompanied by some exceptional side dishes. The wait staff was especially helpful regarding side dishes and portion size. Topping it all of was some exquisite desserts. All in all, the Oceanaire is a delightful dining experience. I only get to Orlando two or three times a year but you can be sure that the Oceanaire will be part of each visit I make. I'd love to see one in Tampa or Sarasota in the near future.

Pros: Superb food and quality service

After visiting the Oceanaire Seafood Room in Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, I was prepared for a quality dining experience. Orlando topped my expectations in every respect! The appetizers and entrees were superb and the desserts exquisite. The food is matched by top notch service that is delivered in a timely and professional manner. As far as I'm concerned, the Oceanaire is not only one of the best seafood restaurants in Orlando; it's one of the two or three of the best restaurants serving any type of food in the city. Don't mss it!

Pros: ambiencxe, food, service

This place has a sturdy wine list and a wide range of entrees. Good place to bring a group, as everybody will find something to love. We had some special requests at our table, which were done happily by the kitchen. Very nice experience. Bring a jacket for the air conditioning inside.

What a pleasant surprise to find a top-notch seafood house in Pointe Orlando. I just thought I would go to the movies at the new theater there, and stumbled upon the best crab cakes and biggest martinis in town.The calamari was spicy and the gigantic warm brownie had puddles of hot fudge and hot caramel. I wish I had known about the valet parking (free) before I parked in the garage for the movies. Service was good, food was excellent.

Pros: free valet parking, perfect cocktails

I heard this place was voted Best Seafood Restaurant in Orlando and I saw it on the morning news, so I decided to try it for a birthday event. Great bar, great appetizers, beautiful decor, the best desserts I have ever had. It was definitely a memorable event. It was too hot to go out on the patio, but we will try that at another time of the year. This place is like no other seafood place in town - very stylish and high quality.

Pros: Free valet, mind-blowing crab from Deadliest Catch

Pros: FOOD WAS GOOD

Cons: SERVICE

My husband and I dined here for our aniversary. When we entered the restaraunt both the manager and host greested us, the manager said that it would be just a moment as he sent the hostess to set us up a booth, which was appreciated since this is what we would prefer. About 5 minutes later we were seated by the hostess at a table, not a booth. The hostess replaced my white linen napkin with a black one, as I was wearing a black skirt, what a nice touch and great way to add that little extra. Our server Alberto promtly greeted us and gave us an overview of the wine list and menu. A lady who was the service assistant quickly brought us water, bread, and a small relish tray. We ordered escargot as an appetizer, it was just okay, a lttle bland. I ordered the Salmon Oscar and my husband ordered the stuffed Louisana Redfish and a side of Asparagus to share. Our entrees were delivered to our table and our first bites were delicious and the asparagus was the biggest we had had ever seen. As we began to eat our entrees my husbands first 5 bites all had scale and bones in it. He would have delt with 1 or 2 but when you pay $30-$40 dollars for a peice of fish you would expect not to find any. So he told Alberto who quickly returned it and spoke with the Manager. The Manager did what I would call a "walk by" table visit and stated that sometimes this happens as the fish really is fresh and then appologized as he walked away. I finished my entree with only 2 bites that also had scales and shared a few bites with my husband. About 15 minutes later my husbands new entree was delivered, this time with no scales or bone. Overall the experience was good, the entress really were delicious and the service from both Alberto and the assistant was impeccable. We were just annoyed with the laziness of the prep work and with us having to eat our dinner seperatley. I thought that at least dessert or a round of cocktails would have been offered by the manager for this inconvenience.

Pros: Service and flavor of food

Cons: bones and scales found in a $40 entreee, managment
