Oceanaire Seafood Room - Dallas

As sleek as a 1930s ocean liner, yet as relaxed as a dinner on the shore, the Oceanaire provides the perfect setting to enjoy Ultra-Fresh seafood, flown in daily from around the world. Sip a Sidecar in the lounge, sidle up to the oyster bar, or kick back in a horseshoe booth before diving into a sea of Ultra-Fresh fish, including steak-cut Alaskan halibut, seasonal favorites like fresh Copper River salmon or hard-to-find delicacies like true Dover sole or bluefin tuna. Our daily-printed menu will guide you, a wine list as deep as the sea will seduce you, and the world's freshest seafood awaits you at the Oceanaire.

"Menu customized with Happy 35th Birthday for my husband, seated early, great service, excellent food. Only downside was I'm not a seafood lover like my husband so the oyster bar by our table was a little too smelly for me. They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, even bringing out a special complimentary dessert for my husbands birthday."

"Food was impeccable. Delicious Alaskan Rockfish "Dynamite". The Grilled Center-Cut Filet & Shrimp was tender and flavorful. Recommend the Oysters as well. There are so many appealing dishes, you can't go wrong! Will be back!"

"We had the best time. Great greeting when we entered, great lighting, really great food,Great waitperson . It has been ten years since we were there, only because we do not go to dallas very often. We receive your email and it keeps oceanaire in our thoughts. WE live in temple, tx and georgetown, colorado. WE have not been to the denver oceanaire but we are returning to colorado the first week in june for the summer. Going to the CO oceanaire is definitely on the list of things to do. (probably more than once...it could become a habit) The food was great. My husband loves the crab cakes and told several people at the Byron Nelson Classic of our dining experience the night before. Bravo, guys!"

"I really like Oceanaire ordinarily, however, they were unprepared for the Mother's Day crowd. It took way too long to get our food, which isn't good with squirmy, hungry children. Also, both mom's at the table ended up with crummy meals. In fairness, everyone else's food was good. Too bad. Normally we love Oceanaire. They were slammed and undereqipped for it."

"This is our go-to-place for ALL special occasions. The restaurant itself was the same. Wonderfully calm and the managers and hostess seated us right away. Unfortunately the server for our table was on a break, so we were served by John from another section. John was busy. Very busy. We didn't see him very often and we we did, he didn't t bring us what we needed/asked for. Out of the 4 meals ordered, 3 of us couldn't/didn't eat our meal.
It's one of theses time you just go through mcD's on the way home. Just not the food they have ALWAYS DONE. When you go knowing your gonna spend $250.00 - $300.00 for 4 meals, you just feel let down when the food/service falls really far short of normal."

"This was our second visit to the Oceanaire. Our first visit was wonderful and the food was excellent. Our second visit was horrible. First of all our Entree took almost an hour to get to our table. When they finally came, the food was over cooked and dry. I'm not sure what happened with the cook staff in between our visits but not sure if we will give them a third try"

"We go to Oceanaire a few times per year, then always ask why we waited too long. The crab cakes are the best (Eddie V, you are number 2). Halibut this time, with the hash browns. Yummy. Yes, the menu is more Landry's than it used to be, and we miss the old music/ambiance, but the signature food items are still great.
Ask for Carl or Mason."

His recommendations were spot on and the food was to die for! My client was also as delighted. Hats off to the Chief!!! I have dinned at the MN location the past 10 years prior locating to Dallas and pleased to say that we were very impressed and relieved that our restrain is minutes away form our new home and city."

He was blown away by the ambiance of The Oceanaire, the food, but most of all the staff. .We love going places where the staff truly take pride in where they work, they are kind, and easy to chat with. I truly loved the people that we met while dining as well as the exquisite seafood which is hard to come by at other restaurants. This was my 2nd time dining at The Oceanaire and I can honestly say I have many more visits to come. Thanks Oceanire!"

"Very nice restaurant. Food took a while to come but they brought us free cups of gumbo and clam chowder to tide us over. Prices are really high but the food is delicious. I got the crabcakes and they are very good. If you haven't had it, I also recommend getting the baked Alaska for dessert. The presentation is very cool"

"WAY overpriced for the portion sizes. It seemed to me and my husband that they raised their prices. We eat very well, very often and we enjoy dining in the finest restaurants but Oceanaire is overpriced and has slipped from our top 5 spots."

"2nd time now the food is just not very good. And the bill is OUTRAGEOUS! I probably won't be back. The only thing that saves this place is the service which is OUTSTANDING. The atmosphere is nice as well. Work on the food, guys; it is extremely disappointing."

"We had a late reservation, the food was just OK. Our server seemed to have an attitude like we were not important or he had more important people to serve. Overall I would give this place a 3 out of 10. This is based on one visit to the restaurant."

"Service was great. My fish was not so good. I had trout and when I asked the watier if it was the ruby red trout similar to salmon he said yes. What I ended up with was a white mild fish that was very bland."

"Oceanaire has some of the finest seafood in Dallas. Oysters were amazing - a sampling of various east coast selections. Incredibly fresh, delicious. Entrees were almost perfect. My wife's redfish done Oscar style was rich and perfectly prepared. I had a whole Pompano that was done as well as fresh fish can be done. Only quibbles were service and placement. The restaurant is pretty and there were ample tables. They seated us in a noisy, busy place. I asked to be moved and they put us off in an a corner almost alone. There were plenty of nice tables that were empty. The waiter was knowledgeable but too overly familiar and chatty for a nice restaurant. Overall a great meal, but the seating and service detracted a bit."

"Thank you, Oceanaire, for providing a wonderful 75th Birthday celebration for Al. A lovely table for 10 on the balcony was perfect. What a fun to surprise to note that the take home menu contained a personalized birthday greeting. Service was superb and timely. Each of the salads and entrées drew good comments. Then after the dinner staff presented us with a lovely flaming desert to share for the table. Wonderful!"

"Hooray its the beginning of Halibut season and the Oceanaire always has the freshest available. It was not inexpensive but it was wonderful and well worth the price after no fresh halibut for months. Oceanaire remains my favorite restaurant with the best seafood, outstanding service, perfect cocktails and a splendid wine list."
