The sea scallops were superb and the sand dabs were very good. It was nice and quiet when we first got there but got louder as a big group came in. It was fun and wee will go back.

The food and service were outstanding although, even though we advised about needing to get to the theater, the time between courses seemed somewhat excessive. Everyone at the table raved about the deliciousness of the meals.

Food was excellent, lobster salad (like shrimp cocktail) so good, claw meat, cooked perfectly. Seabass was very large portion and also cooked perfectly, sand dabs good also. Service very good. Ambience is just average Will go back for sure.

We decided to go to Ocean's because of the reviews. However, we were disappointed in the food. The meat was not of good quality. The vegetables served with it were of low quality and without imagination. We would not recommend it if you're looking for a good experience.

It's been a while since we dined at Oceans. I remember last time was a very good experience. This time was outstanding. The service is top notch. Our waiter was great. The food was excellent. My partner had the seabass special, and I ordered the shrimp and scallops scampi. Both delicious. We will be going back!

Pleasant venue. Excellent food at a GREAT value comparatively. Front dining room was a little tight. I'm sure locals know, but I had to search for hostess stand which was at the back of the front dining area.

Another excellent meal at Oceans. The servers are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Being a Saturday night, it was quite a change from the quiet restaurant that we had been to during the week. Still, it was more like a friendly neighbourhood place than a fancy restaurant. Highly recommended!

The daily special board was almost as extensive as the regular menu. There were so many dishes that we would have tried that we are returning in four nights. Those plates that we did try (paella and sand dabs) were excellent.

As always Oceans was excellent! There were 5 of us for dinner, blackened Barramundi, salmon & sea bass plus fresh oysters on the 1/2 shell. Everyone was happy and enjoyed their meals. Oceans never disappoints.
Most aspects of my dining at Oceans were very good. Two aspects were below average—the service staff was very terse and almost rude in their sort-of dropping the food on the table and then disappearing. Even the take-out box was just dropped and it flipped open and the waiter disappeared. All in all I got the feeling that the wait-staff seemed to offer their service out of obligation rather than a pleasant, friendly manner. I would therefore only recommend Oceans with the above caveats.

We go to Oceans often and have never been disappointed. We love the food and all of the staff. Last night however we were rushed out after our meal. It felt very uncomfortable and has never happened yo us before. Even if we were asked if we minded wrapping things up as they needed the table but instead we were just rushed with our plates being taken away , the desert and bill all in a rushed manner. Again it just didn't feel good after a great meal.

Met two other friends here for brunch, one of our favorite restaurants in the area. We love the food here and the choices quality and good service. I always order their Sanddabs as they aren't much available in Nor -Cal restaurants. I was not let down they were prepared exquisitely. Our friends loved their food choices and the place too , outdoor seating is so nice! We highly recommend dining at Oceans anytime!

Laid back service. Went for Valentine's Day dinner. They bring a big hand-written white board over showing what the "specials" are... without prices. My wife had a Caprese Salad & Blackened Barrundi and I had Fried Oysters appetizer & Chilean Seabass. We had 1 shared desert, 1 cocktail, 1glass of wine & 1 bottled water and the bill was $171 before tip. The seafood was was done nicely but the potatoes were just drenched in butter with blah mixed vegetables. My impression was that it was a fancy restaurant wannabe when it's really only just a family restaurant. Disappointed.

Oceans is a wonderful little restaurant! Everyone does a spectacular job. From the hostess to the wait staff. The menu has lots of great options, but the specials listed on the whiteboard are amazing! It's often hard to find good seafood in the desert, so this is really a great find. Our table of four started out with oysters on the half shell, escargot and an Oceans salad. We had Sea Scallops, Surf & Turf and Paella. All prepared and presented magnificently. The desserts looked wonderful, but we were too full! You won't be disappointed!
