    The bone in filet was amazing. The branzino was amazing. The bacon was amazing. The devil eggs were amazing. The crab legs were fishy and not worth $150. The asparagus was undercooked 2x we asked they to cook it more. This was our 3rd time here. The service was very good

    Jason was awesome. His recommendations were spot on. Loved everything we ordered. Oysters, clam chowder, octopus, branzino, pork chop, key lime pie and beignets. We were stuffed and had leftovers. Thanks Jason for a great dinner experience.

    We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at Ocean 48. The food and atmosphere was excellent. Our server Nathan was fantastic. We were never rushed, he gave good advice and was very friendly and an absolute gentleman. Everyone at the restaurant made us feel sincerely welcome from start to finish.

    Ocean 48 exceeded every expectation during our family dinner for five. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was spectacular, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Throughout the meal, we kept saying, "This is the best [insert dish] we've ever had!" We enjoyed an incredible array of dishes: oysters, filets, a bone-in ribeye, scallops, sides, and a key lime pie that was simply divine. The cocktails were perfectly curated, complementing the meal beautifully. Ocean 48 is a must-visit for anyone seeking a flawless dining experience. We found absolutely nothing lacking and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!
