Pampered and Perfect Birthday. A very fun and relaxing evening celebrating a birthday during the week. Very attentive, friendly, knowlegeable, but not annoying waiter who treated us with a great experience-ask for Chad's area. The food was what they're known for; seafood; with the ahi tuna filling up two of us that had split it, the shrimp cocktail was a bit dry but great with the cocktail sauce. Drinks were good size but expensive.

Chad brought out a huge baked alaska with pumpkin ice cream for the b-day treat and it was delicious.

The hostesses, waiters, helpers were charming us from the minute we stepped into the restaurant. It was a special eating event. I was disappointed that there wasn't alot of diners and hope that isn't a bad sign especially since Manny's left.…

The best service!. Our experience at Oceanaire was fantastic. The reservationist was kind and accomidating over the phone. When it came to ordering, our waiter, Kevin, was incredibly helpful and took the time to explain the menu and made fabulous recommendations. In our case, we were celebrating a special event and they made sure we were being well taken care of. Thanks for a great meal and a great night!…

Pretty good, but not awesome. We went to the Oceanaire for a special event - a group of six of us. Expecting to pay a good price, and get a phenomenal meal and dining experience. However, the evening was disappointing. The food, service and ambiance all were just fine, but when you invest that kind of money for a night out, you should expect to be wowed, blown away, totally impressed. We were not wowed, only satisfied. The seafood was not twice as good, the service and atmosphere not two times better than other eateries we could have gone to. I can?t really recommend the Oceanaire based on this visit ? the value simply was not there for the amount of money we spent.…

Overall good place. My wife and I went to this restaurant because we heard great things about it all over the place. When we got there the place was packed! I understand the biz. When you have a packed restaurant you make lots of money, but working my way through a crowd is not my idea of a fine dining experence. We had to wait half an hour for our table, dispite reservations. This also annoyed me. Staff was friendly and service was impressive. I was shocked at the price of drinks (in a bad way).

The food was good. Menue was not what I expected. A lot of fish and not much of anything else. Menue was pricy but not too bad. Best crab cakes I have ever had. Our food was good, and came in decent portions. All in all I think the place is a bit overrated, but good. It did not live up to the hype it gets by any means. I would go here again over a restaurant like Red Lobster, if I were in the mood for seafood.…

Outstanding service. Hands down- the best crab cakes in Minnesota! I came to the oceanaire for a business dinner with five guys from the east coast, jetlegged wanting seafood. Service was impeccable, from the check backs to the honest smiles of the staff and management. I suggest requesting the captains list if you want a better selection of wine. Easily the best restaurant in Minnesota, in regards to food quality, and service!!…
