This is probably our eight or ninth time at Ocean 48. We’ve also eaten at Ocean 48 in Beverly Hills. overall I would give it a five star rating the food the service the ambience. The noise level is so great you can sit and have a conversation and have to scream, you can hear each other talk which is a nice treat for a normal restaurant.

Our waiter, Jason was beyond phenomenal and very knowledgeable to the menu and provided excellent recommendations for our dinning experience. The bartenders prior to dinner were extremely friendly and funny. Truly an incredible dining experience in Orange County that shouldn’t be missed.

I had the filet. The steak had gristle in it. I've had better steak at other fine restaurants for half the price.

We had an incredible dining experience at Oceans 48 tonight! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Now, onto the food—absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The freshness of the seafood was undeniable, and each bite was a true delight. Whether you’re a seafood lover or just looking for a top-tier dining experience, this place does not disappoint. Oceans 48 exceeded our expectations in every way, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Great service, we were well taken care of and made to feel very comfortable as a first time visitor. The food was delicious as well, highly recommend the 45 day aged ribeye and surprisingly, the shells and cheese did not feel like just an afterthought side dish. Paula was our sever and she was awesome.
