    Great welcome, quick seating, excellent attention upon seating, server welcome interested and very attentive. And that was just the beginning of a wonderful evening celebrating an anniversary… The menu is extensive, yet the chief is willing to meet your individual requirements or gastronomic needs. The have a full well stocked bar for fun cocktails and serious brown liquor drinkers. And they make a real espresso martini with espresso with the traditional three beans… Our selections came from the menu rather than the server’s additions-next visit for those! Fish and meat were our selections for appetizers and mains with mashed cheese potatoes-all very tasty. Everything was special and then there was Nathan our server. In a scale of 10, Nathan was a 20+! Nathan was thoughtful, energetic, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the restaurant, the menu, and not bashful about sharing his choices… A wonderful night that we will remember, and the beginning of a new relationship with a very exceptional new restaurant with a super team!

Everything we ordered was delicious! The filet, branzino, octopus, Mac n cheese and crab were to die for! They were sweet and surprised us with amazing desserts for bday and graduation!

    After a less-than-stellar first visit a couple of months ago, we decided to give Ocean 48 another chance. Our experience this time was a complete 180. We were seated promptly, and the service was nothing short of impeccable. Our waitress was attentive and personable, making sure every detail of our evening was perfect (filling our sparkling water constantly versus our issue last time). The assistant manager even stopped by to personally welcome us back, which was quite the thoughtful touch. The food was great. The bone marrow was absolutely enormous and indulgent, the crab and shrimp mac & cheese with Boursin was rich and decadent, and our steaks were cooked to perfection (they redid my husband's, but it came out to perfection the second time around). Dessert was perfect, I forget the exact name but it was Lou Lou's cookies and cream ice cream. I stuck with my dirty gin martini this time and it was perfect. Ocean 48 has has reset the bar and our expectations. I genuinely think the attentiveness that we received made our entire experience genuinely FUN. I was happy to be there having a date night with my husband.
