best crab cakes in san diego – This is my all time favorite restaurant in San Diego! Grab a seat at the bar, order a French 75, crab cakes and chili rock shrimp and I promise you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere doesn't get any better!
My First Raw Bar – Last week a friend of mine took me to the Oceanaire for their happy hour and challenged me to eat my very first Oyster. I am not adventurous when it comes to raw seafood, but we were sitting at the Raw Bar and after a martini and the happy hour oyster prices I was more easily convinced. I actually really enjoyed it so we split about a half dozen different types. Dinner was a piece of White Sea Bass that could not have been prepared any better and we split a mountain of hashbrowns which I am sure had a poun... read more
A Near Perfect Evening – My visit to the Oceanaire last Wednesday was near perfect. The service was prompt and friendly and helped me make delicious appetizer and dinner choices. I overate before dinner was over and opted out of desert. The Oysters on the half were among the best I have had in California. I followed it up with a piece of salmon, again?. perfect. I don?t think I could have asked for a better evening but to top it off I got the opportunity to meet head chef Brian Malarkey who was on Top Chef and thought it was... read more
Definitely the place to go for fresh seafoood! – Great overall dining experience! I was impressed with the wide variety of fresh seafood on their menu and the different preparations. The staff is very friendly and attentive, but not too in your face. If you are a fan of oysters, I highly recommend ordering from the oyster bar. My friend and I ordered the Halibut and Swordfish which were both very tasty. The sides are served family style, which I thought was great since it gives you the chance to try more than one. We shared ... read more
yummy crab cakes – top chef contender brian malarkey is the executive chef at this seafood restaurant in the gas lamp quarter of san diego. as the name suggests, the specialty is seafood. while you can choose however you want your fish prepared, you can also opt to go by the chef's recommendation on how the fish is to be prepared. the server started us off with some warm sourdough bread and some chilled veggies and ceviche. they were good enough but we weren't there for the freebies. the caesar salad was good topped with anc... read more
Extremely fresh- delicious seafood I've taken out of town friends here twice and it was great both times. It's got a classy, retro decor -- but the best thing is the fresh seafood.
Way overpriced for what you get! – The food was good, but of course it was, there really aren't that many "bad" restaurants in San Diego. That said, there are many other seafood restaurants I'd recommend that are much less expensive and just as good guality and atmosphere. The menu is broken up into the main protein (mostly fish, some chicken, and a few steaks) which you order seperately from the sides. So for that whopping $25 plus entree, you really just get the piece of fish on a plate... then you have to order a seperate... read more
Mixed Signals - Mediocre Seafood – A group of 8 went out to celebrate my birthday on January 5, 2008. The Host was very professional and courteous. The waitress seemed a little aloof at first, but warmed up quickly. We ordered appetizers which included raw oysters. Everything but the oysters came out and only after everyone else had eaten, did the waitress notice that the oyster had not been brought out. Three of us ate our appetizers by ourselves. The appetizers were an unfortunate omen of things to come. First, a friend's ... read more
WOW A great place to go for a special occasion – It was my wife's birthday last Friday, and we decided to go to the Oceaniare to celebrate. The restaurant itself is very classy. Our waiter told us they were trying to create a "50's" sophisticated kind of look, but it looked very modern and chic to my wife and I. After being seated, our server brought us a tray of "mini-appetizers" to eat while we looked over the menu. The tray included olives, pickles, cucumbers, and pickled herring. Along with some bread, it was a very nice... read more
