Great Catch

Wonderful seafood, from what one can tell on only one visit. The crabcakes were magnificent and so was the sauce but, not together. Ask for a slice of lemon to bring out the full flavor of the crab. Then, soak...

Seattle Surprise

We were up there for the weekend and decided to pop in on a Saturday night after shopping all day. Although we were not dressed for the restaurant the host graciously told us that he would not be able to seat...

Pricey, but excellent.

I once had a seafood smorgasboard at the bar. The service was the best I've experienced in Seattle, truly refined. The oysters were varied, and fresh. I'd love to eat here more often when my wallet is a bit...

Highly Over Rated

After all of the hype, dinner was so-so. Not bad, but also not worth the price. I suggest eating in the bar, since there is at least some opportunity for interesting people watching to make up for the DULL...

Didn't miss a thing!

I have eaten here twice, once at the bar alone and the other with a great friend. I eat out frequently and have come across great seafood but the service here makes the seafood stand above Seattle's best...

What am I missing!

I must have dined there on a bad night -- Both times. I thought the ambiance was cheap, with condiments galore on the table and cliched chrome and wood. The service was poor down to the menus, which are...

Great quality seafood

Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's kind of noisy. But I just can't love seafood enough here. Pickled herring with cold vegetables to start with is a nice touch. I've never thought halibut cheeks with morel...

Give it to me!!

What can I say, this place has it all! I have eaten in many restaurants around the world and consider myself to be somewhat of a snob when it comes to food. I will return to Seattle soon and I know I will be...

OVERHYPED

I have no clue what people are talking about when it comes to this greatly overhyped restaurant! The seafood is hard to taste, it is usually coated with breading or served with some heavy sauce over it. The...

Solid performer

Try to ignore that this is a budding chain...and instead relish the fresh but mainly not local seafood that you'll have a hard time finding elsewhere. If you've had your fill of all of our incredible local...

Everytime I enter The Oceanaire..be it lunch, dinner, a cocktail, I'm taken back to another era... a time when....atmosphere, service, and food meant everything. And the Oceanaire comes thru every single time!...

Go elsewhere

This was an overpriced, overhyped and noisy place without a view. Back to Waterfront we go. Total bill was $200 for 3 people - scary!! Even valet costs more than Metropolitan! At least cannot say we didn't...

I was quite impressed at with the atmosphere at The Oceanaire. I felt like I was in a very classy supper club & it had all the trimmings associated with that era - down to the Aqua Net Hairspray. The staff was...

Seattle's Best....

The food at the Oceanaire doesn't belong in Seattle, it's true...it is deserving of a much bigger metropolitan area! I have only eaten like this in NYC, San Fran, etc. You get what you pay for at this place....

Best Seafood in Seattle

We have been to Oceanaire 3 times and love it every time! The seafood is the best around. They have seafood that is not common to the everyday fish lover and that's what makes it great.
