    Food was delicious! They were able to accommodate a list of allergens and make just about anything on the menu. Ordered the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had a prime rib and chicken piccata. The piccata was a bit rich but good. The sides are large enough for 3-4 people. We ordered the Caesar salad and Brussel sprouts. Service was a little slow but it was Christmas Eve. The ambiance, hospitality and food make it worth it!

    We had a wonderful and tasty meal of seven fishes with wine pairings. Each fish item was the freshest and tastiest I have had and we buy our home fish from Santa Monica Seafood which is excellent but not as good as O Sea! My wife and I also did the wine pairings and enjoyed each wine and was relieved that none were too large. I apologized to Mike that we have not visited O Sea since last Christmas! Our New Years Resolution is to visit more often! Maybe O Sea could have more fish themed dinners like the opening day of trout season in CA…the first Saturday in April.
