Every complete chicken dinner includes handmade biscuits, side salad, choice of cabbage or cherry rhubarb, three pieces of fried chicken, and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy. For dessert: your choice of boysenberry pie or boysenberry sherbet. Many other dishes are also available including grilled chicken, salads, and a number of appetizers.

    That was the best meal I’ve ever experienced. Every dish had layers of flavors that were so delightful. I don’t have a refined palate to know where all of the flavors were coming from, but each bite was savored and appreciated. We ordered the naan, green beans, beets, chick peas fritters, poke, bass, short ribs noodles, pork belly, sesame cookie ice cream and the sundae. For drinks we had the goat fashioned, espresso martini, spa day, bees knees, and some Cadillac’s. There were four of us and there wasn’t a morsel left on any plate. The service was very friendly, attentive, comfortable and informative. The ONLY thing I would do different is make sure to get the naan first to scrape up every last bit of every sauce. If I could’ve gotten away with it I would have licked each plate clean ;) I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a very long time and tonight did not disappoint. I loved watching Chef Stephanie on Top Chef but have never had the chance to taste her food. And until tonight I’d never realized how truly elevated and special her dishes are. Thank you so much for an absolutely beautiful meal 💛

    This experience was outstanding, my wife was diagnosed with celiac and since then is being very hard to dine together because of her condition. Most dining places do not specialize in catering for people like her, but they find it upsetting when you questioned their menu or cooking etiquette. Last night we were celebrating our 22 year anniversary and my birthdate, I found this place through Go Gluten Freely.com and they recommended this place as the best place. So without no hesitation I booked and drove 45 minutes to surprise my wife. You should have seen her face at the beginning and at the end and all the way home she spoke nothing but wonderful words, saying I found my haven on earth. Music, atmosphere, service, taste, and lots of smiles. Our server was wonderful, she even gave us a very tasteful dessert with vanilla ice cream with two gluten-free macaroons that said on each Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday…what a nice touch! This place found two fans for life and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making helping me make my wife’s night and more future dates with my wife. For all of you with Celiac, trust me when I say that you could not find a better and more safer and perfect place to dine than Oceans & Earth anywhere I promise! From: Rainier and Alison Gracia

    We traveled from San Antonio and Corpus Christi Texas so Mom could have Mrs. Knott's chicken dinner. This is what Mom asked for her 90th birthday dinner...how could we refuse? It was as delicious as she remembered from her last visit over 25 years ago. We are so full...we have leftover chicken and had to take our pie to-go. Mom enjoyed her rhubarb and we all enjoyed the chicken, rolls with boysenbery preserves, and the cabbage. Great meal! Pleasant staff and great service!

    The staff is really nice and attentive. The water they prepared for my 16-month daughter has a short straw. I think the waiter cut it shorter, so it’s easier for her to drink. The happy hour menu is great as well. We almost finished ordering the entire drink and food menu 😂
