the food was decent. but not nearly the quality the price commanded. crab cake was lots of crab, not much else, lobster chewy/over cooked , shrimp great! best dish served was truffle mashed potatoes. I have hoping for more in seafood quality after having carefully researched restaurants , reviews , recommendations. find a cheaper place than this… the food will be just as good.

Food was absolutely delicious and our waitress was very friendly fast and attentive.. She along with the other staff made our visit to Oceanaire so welcoming.. I would highly recommend asking for Candi when you visit!!

It was a wonderful experience in boston. Our waiter was so kind and generous and gave us many helpful informations for selecting the dishes and drinks. The food(especially oysters!) also very nice, fresh, and tasty. I 100% recommend this place for the travelers who visit the boston. I will definitely revisit here if i have a chance to travel the boston once again.

Poor service, below average food quality. We were there at 8pm on a Saturday night with 10 people for a birthday celebration. Our server was busy with other tables and neglected us the entire night. Empty drink glasses sat on the table much too long. Our calamari app came out cold. We ordered salads that never came. I finally had to complain to the manager on duty when it was 9:45pm and we still hadn’t received our meals and my guests were going to the bar for their own drinks. Our meals were delivered at 10pm, two hours after we sat. My lobster tail was cold, steak was excellent. My wife’s baked stuffed lobster was warm in the middle but the rest of the lobster was cold. Very disappointed with the food and especially disappointed with the service. They are obviously having staffing problems.

There is one woman that I always seem to get, but she isn’t the nicest among the waitstaff.
