    It took us 2 1/2 hours, on a slower night, to order, get our food and bill. By the time we got our food, it was cold and overcooked. Portions were small. Our waiter was more interested in helping a larger group than us.

    I have been to Oceanaire several times, and the time before tonight was in June for my birthday. The menu has since changed. I found the portions to be sparse and not flavorful at all.

    I had a horrible experience. I was immediately asked to remove my pagri (turban) which is culturally insensitive. We then waited for a waiter who was too overwhelmed. My food was cold upon arrival. I would not recommend.

    The Oceanaire Seafood Room made my Grandma's 87th Birthday Dinner so special. They even printed a custom message on the menus for us without us requesting it - very sweet. The food was great and the service even better. Will come back here again for the 100% lump crab cake. My family left smiling with nothing but great things to say about our experience.
