    What a wonderful dinner. Everything about the experience from the valet parking, to the hostess, to our waitress, and of course the food was first rate! Steaks (ribeye, filet, and strip) were delicious. Dessert a must if you have room. Wine list is deep. If you need a steak in a warm and inviting environment (and your credit card has a generous limit) this is your spot.

    Me and my boyfriend went to celebrate our anniversary and had one of the best services. The waiter was so kind and patient and constantly making sure we were okay. One of the best places to go to for your birthday, anniversary, etc. They do events and so much more! Inside was beautiful especially with the holiday decor. I would 1000% go back again. Food was also extremely amazing.

    We had a beautiful dinner tonite. Oceanos is a beautiful, serene and elegant restaurant with gracious hosts and servers. The fish is the freshest and perfectly prepared. The fagris was delectable in red pepper coconut sauce with crab meat over a vegetable risotto. My husbands halibut and lobster tail was equally tasty and presented so specially. We had expertly prepared cocktails and after dinner martinis and they served us tasty Greek butter cookies that were scrumptious. Thank you Oceanos for this lovely dinner.
