    Everything was excellent! Robert was hands down the best server we’ve ever had—attentive, professional, and friendly. The food was outstanding, served at the perfect temperature, and the music added just the right vibe to the restaurant. Ocean 48 truly exceeded our expectations!

    A++++ Last night was my second visit, and it will not be my last. We requested the bar area. It was perfect for my two sons. It was her first visit.. I appreciate that the restaurant has different seating areas that you can try out and decide which is best. Food was amazing. Scallops and Chilean Sea bass wee cooked to perfection. My son’s medium + rib eye was right on point. We both wish they would offer the Porter house option.  Their cookies and cream gelato cake was a perfect ending.  I believe our waitress had too many tables,therefore it wasn’t the service level i experienced on my first visit.  definitely the best seafood and steakhouse. I believe in Orange County.

    Anna was our server and we go to a lot of fine dining. She was excellent and made the dinning experience so good. This was by far a 10 out 10. All employees were friendly, service was excellent and food was perfect. Thank you!

    It was okay I honestly believe it’s overrated for the prices of the steaks I’d think their aged steaks would be more flavorful. The sides were delicious however and the bread is SOOOO YUMMY! I also didn’t like how the waiter took water from another persons private booth and placed in my booth. That was disgraceful and disgusting! To be honest I’ll stick with Joey’s New port
