Reviews for The Oceanaire Seafood Room in Indianapolis, IN
This is our go-to place for an elegant dinner to celebrate special occasions. We get the same entrees every time - can’t go... wrong with Filet Mignon and King Crab Legs w/ shareable sides of truffle whipped potatoes and grilled asparagus. Always greatservice and enjoy our dining experience at The Oceanaire! Read more
For seafood lovers only. This place is pricey but good portion sizes so you don't feel like you are being jipped. I had the... Maryland crab cakes and calamari. Their calamari has peppers so watch out for those.Their crab cake is nothing but the best withhuge lump crab pieces no fillers whatsoever. I enjoyed the atmosphere and my ???? martini. Read more
I went to the Oceanaire Seafood Room with a friend and it was fantastic! Our food was fresh and perfectly prepared. The service... and atmosphere were excellent too. I spent a great deal of time on the East Coast and the seafood was really fresh at thisrestaurant - on par with anything in New England. Many thanks to the staff and we will be back soon! Read more
Tim our server is what made our experience an A+....or a perfect 5 out of 5. Great place to celebrate our sons 20th birthday and... his commitment to join the Air Force. He was deserving of us taking him out for a high priced celebration. For us being commonpeople this was definitely a splurge but we made a memorable experience, even tho my son saw the bill and as he put it "it mademe cringe" Yes its upscale and high priced but we weren't disappointed. Thanks Tim for making sure everything went smooth eventho the server dropped my meal and I had to wait until everyone else was finished before even starting mine. We appreciate youand know if it wasn't for you, it could have turned into a bad experience. Read more
The theme was a little too cruise ship for me. I get the name, I get the atmosphere but to have to take out a penlight to see... what you’re eating was a little frustrating. The seafood was great and the the steak was pretty average (think Ruth’sChris). It was nice to try a place we had never been to before but for the price point ($150 pp) we will be exploring otherplaces. I will say, the desserts ranked among my top favorites. Read more
To start I took my wife out for a day for her. Made reservations thru open table. It was very easy and they kept reminding me.... Which was great. The waitress done a great job. She was honest and suggestive. One of her suggestions made my meal. We startedoff with some raw oysters. Which my wife had never tried. The vinegar sauce and cocktail sauce were delicious with them.Surprisingly my wife ate her second Oyster. The next item we ordered was the crab cake. It was delicious. Full of crab. My wifegot the lettuce wedge with blue cheese dressing. I tasted it and it was good. I ordered the New England clam chouder. To me itwas alright. I've had much better. It tasted to much like potato soup. For my main entree I got scallops dynamite style. Whichput small crab cake on top with a simi spicy sauce it was delicious. My wife got the chicken fried lobster. I felt it was verybland. My wife ate it said it was ok. We also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese. It was good a Lil spicy. I would try somethingelse next time. They brought my wife a dessert for her birthday. Baked alaska. They presentation was very cool. Pouring alcoholover it and lighting it on fire. The chocolate raspberrie ice cream was fantastic especially with the charred meringue. Themeringue tasted like a roasted marshmallow. The combination of the ice cream and meringue was delicious. The cake part was dryand terrible. Overall we had a great experience. For what we got and they prices to me were not worth it. I would go back justwill be awhile. There menu changes daily and the seafood is flown in daily. I would recommend going just be choosy and ask whatis the most popular. Read more
I was looking forward to trying this place out and became a little disappointed with our service after we asked for the devour... menu. Unfortunately a lot of restaurants in the city now put this stigma with people that order off the devour menu and I'mgetting a little tired of it. If you don't want to be put on the devour menu than don't be put on it, but don't start to treatthe customers like we aren't going to be spending the same type of money as others since their ordering off the regular menu.Our bill was still over $200 after tip, that's over $100 bucks each and I felt like we didn't get the service wedesereved. Regardless of how I was disappointed in our service the food itself was actually pretty good for the most part.After about 45 mins of sitting and waiting after we had ordered everything we wanted ti order food started coming out. First ouroysters which to me shouldn't have taken 45 mins to get to our table. Next came all of our starters which came about 30 minsafter the oysters. And lastly about 30 mins after our starters came our entrees. And then we got our dessert and checks at thesame time and then our waiter like got a pickup in his step. I was told that the oysters were very good and very fat. My CaesarSalad was really good but there was a lot of parmesan on top including shaved and shredded. My husband's calamari was probablyone of the best I've had in the city. He ordered the Mahi Mahi and I ordered the 6oz deserved. Both were good and had excellentflavors however I think they had been sitting waiting to be delivered to our table as they weren't exactly hot when we receivedthem. With that being said the flavors were excellent, and I loved the crust on top of my steak. The Mahi has very good flavors.My husband and I both got the key lime which was very tasty and a good compliment to the end of dinner. Overall I gave a threestar strictly because our service was subpar to begin with, however we did get a new waiter towards the end Read more
Top notch seafood. Great atmosphere. Only suggestion for improvement would be to turn lights up. Had to get cell phone out to... read menu. Fantastic place! Oysters were amazing as was the scallops and truffle whipped potatoes. Read more
