We’re regulars at this location and they rarely disappoint. Our server last night, Matt was exceptional. The food was on point and at the start of a busy pre-Thanksgiving weekend we had a wonderful experience. We always appreciate the seasonal offerings, the fresh ingredients, and the beautiful presentation.

We had a group of 11 for a late lunch. We ordered appetizers, main dishes, sides & dessert. Everyone was happy. The seafood dishes were great, even the non seafood fans loved their selections of grilled chicken. The food was fresh and the service was awesome. We asked our server for many suggestions . We are looking forward to dining at O SEA again!

This dining experience was everything I wanted it to be! Delicious, divine, and the perfect place to unwind! The entire experience was just what I needed to reward myself after an exhausting work week: Incredible wine selection, relaxing atmosphere, attentive service, amazing French onion soup bursting with flavor, and the filet mignon was cooked to perfection! I will be back!

This is real, authentic Italian pasta, the best you’ll find in the south coast area. It seriously tastes just like pasta you’d find at a nice place in Italy. The ragu is my favorite. In my opinion the prices for pasta are a little high for such a casual place, but I keep coming back, so clearly it’s worth it. The service is always very good as well. The patio is nice with a fire pit and good heaters. It’s in the camp which provides nice ambiance, but parking is a nightmare. It took us 15 minutes to valet.
