Great seafood, incredible service

by lindaanie

One of the bell persons at our hotel put us on to Oceanaire. It was so fantastic that we went back with five additional guests a second night. Those guests who love oysters raved about the selection and the quality. Their 8oz glasses of wine for a little more than the standard 4oz price was a delight. And, oh, the desserts! Over our two visits we shared the dreamsicle, the brownie, the strawberry shortcake and the stciky toffee pudding--all were delicious. Finally, the waiter, Michael of Chicago,makes the whole experience one of the most wonderful dining experiences I've ever had. Our guests the second time actually applauded him at the end of the evening.

• Pros: everything!
• Cons: nothing!

Oceanaire - Never a Bad Experience

by Marciejmuen

I have just read some negative reviews about Oceanaire and wanted to write my own. I have eaten there on several occasions and NEVER had a bad experience. I typically get the mashed potatoes, asparagus and crab cakes and ALWAYS enjoy it! I have never had a bad waiter either and the ambiance is fabulous, great drinks and everyone is always nice and friendly.

If I get something I do not enjoy I just let them know and they fix it. This is my advice when spending a lot of money (or not a lot of money). TELL THEM. Don't come on here and complain b/c you didn't like it. Just simply let them know and give them the opportunity to fix your (expensive) meal.

I truly enjoy the atmosphere and Oceanaire is my very favorite restuarant in all of Indianapolis. Always great!

• Pros: Consistent Food, Good/Romantic Atmosphere, Great Drinks, Good Service, Very few Children! :)
• Cons: Parking

hmm i dont know

by Jedi1313

well this is an awesome place to dine at as far as interior values go.......but anything other than that is just average. i definatly expected more from an upscale restaurant.! my husband and i finally decided to break down and go to this damn joint! i wish i would spent my money elsewhere. wait staff was so so. they were quick to get you going, but went down hill after order was put in. definatly didnt leave a good tip that night!!! then our food was horrible, i had crab stuffed sole. which was freakin horrible. i wanted to spew, let me tell you, it literally tasted like hot cat breath!!! nasty, my stomach turns just thinking of it. :P

my husband had a better experience thankfully. he ordered filet mignon. and it was right on!! i must say who ever cooked that last saturday night, they are very impressive on their cooking capabilities!!!!!!!! they should probably take over the other section also. haha anyways...we finished up with some nasty crappy desert also known as "the apple crisp". it is mainly a runny oatmealy porrage atop bland caramel apples. literally you could find better for a buck fifty at the fair! oh well.....so that was our story...hope everyone else has a better experience. GOOD LUCK

• Pros: awesome setting, and great grill work
• Cons: horrible wait staff, and horrible seafood
