Decided to try Oceana as they say they specialize on seafood dishes and since my friend loves seafood pasta I decided to check the place out.
Ambience/Atmosphere: 9/10
It's a very bright cozy location, instead of the dim/romantic look they decided to go for a more summer/bright decoration
Lounge music was playing on the background and they also have a patio.
Food (quality, portions, presentation): 6/10
Lots of seafood dishes, steak and pasta on their menu.
Free complimentary bread was served.
A must try is the Hot Seafood Platter for 45$, it was enough to fill up all 3 of us. It had fried calamari, fried oyster, shrimps and crab cake, calamari and oyster were great.
Only reason why I'm giving the food 6/10 is because the dishes that we ordered (2 seafood linguine, 1 seafood marinara) the mussels tasted and smelled funny, otherwise the meal would have been great.
The waitress and manager appologized and gave us a 25$ gift certificate.
Service: 10/10
Staff was really nice and always checking out for us, the manager at one point even offered if we wanted to move to the patio after some customers left.
Pricing: 7/10
I thought for the portion we had, it was fairly overpriced.
76$ for steak and lobster iirc
Bill for us 3 was $142
1 - Stella Artois
1 - Alexander Keiths
1 - Hot Seafood Platter
2 - Seafood linguine
1 - Seafood marinara
Overall: 7/10
I thought it was an ok place, I should visit it one more time to give a fair review.
The hot seafood platter was really good though.
