   This was our second visit to Ocean 48. They did not disappoint! We sat at a booth that is glass at one end so that you can see the entire kitchen. The best part was how private and quiet it was. We felt very special there and could have great conversation with our guests:). We had the heirloom tomato appetizer so fresh and delicious! We also had bone in ribeye, Brussel sprouts, and the highlight…. The Mediterranean Branzino. It was heaven! All the food here is scrumptious. You can share everything which allows you to try more dishes. Again the service was exceptional, Omar was our server and he didn’t miss a beat! 💕 Thank you to all the hard working staff at Ocean 48 and Happy New Year!

   Another overall good dinner marred a bit by the bland striped bass special (which they didn’t charge for) and overcooked salmon entrees. But the cocktails, apps, and desserts were fantastic. Service as always was fantastic, and we still like the restaurant. Just needs some seasoning (pun intended).

   I had the pleasure of celebrating my 38th birthday at Ocean 48, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I was joined by a friend who was also celebrating a birthday, and the restaurant went above and beyond to make our evening special. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s thoughtfulness and generosity stood out. One of the highlights of the evening was receiving personalized birthday cards from the team—a small but incredibly touching gesture that warmed our hearts. To our surprise, the thoughtfulness didn’t end there. The restaurant even called the next day to check in and ensure everything had gone well, which truly reflects their commitment to exceptional customer service. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. We indulged in several dishes—almost the entire menu—and everything was absolutely delicious. Every bite showcased the chef’s expertise and attention to detail, making it difficult to pick a favorite. The manager and staff were the epitome of hospitality, setting a gold standard for customer service. Their attentiveness and genuine care turned our celebration into an extraordinary experience. I’m already looking forward to returning, this time with my mom, so she can also enjoy the amazing food and service. Ocean 48 is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that knows how to create lasting memories. If you’re looking for a special dining experience, this is it.
