    Excellent food and our server was tremendous. We loved the ceviche and the grilled octopus as starters. The black cod was probably the best I’ve had. Great vibes. The only complaint I’d have would be the temperature of the dining room - it was chilly. It wouldn’t stop me from going there again…

    My piece of halibut could not have been any smaller. And it was not cooked very well. Other food items were good. But the minuscule portion of 4 munchkins is a joke. Balls of fried dough. Come on. Give people a proper portion.

    Always LOVE your sashimi. We had the Dorade this evening which is always DELICIOUS! We were a bit disappointed in that it was not sprinkled with Maldon salt. However it was still DELICIOUS!! Your prawns were smelling very pungent, but the taste was very good! Oceans is our go-to Neighborhood place. And we really like it! BTW our server Steven is fantastic!!!

    Beautiful decor and ambiance. Food was fresh and tasty. Service could have been better. We ordered a salad that was never served. The bus boys kept pouring tap water into our glasses with bottled water. I would give the place another chance maybe with a different waiter.

    Read lots of reviews and was very excited. We got the Tsunami which was pretty decent, the crab cake which was delicious, the Caesar salad that was mid, and the filet which was decent. The environment was VERY loud and while I can appreciate a server keeping their distance and allowing for peace and conversation, there were several times where ours was nowhere to be found. Overall, the best thing we ate was probably the free focaccia starter and the crab cake.
