Seated quickly. Super friendly staff. Nice portions but kind of pricey. Food was tasty but the menu is limited.

The Drunken Shrimp is the best!! If you are lucky enough to have Francisco as your waiter he has knowledge of the food, a great personality and makes you feel as if you were an old friend when walking in, Oscar and the entire staff are all great. It's a MUST TRY place to go for atmosphere, great food and reasonable prices.

Very accommodating of our early arrival and seated us right away. Cocktails were excellent. Food was also very good. Beware the Diablo Shrimp are fire hot.

It's been awhile since I posted a review but I was compelled to do so because our recent dinner at Oceana was simply amazing! This was our first time here, and I liked that they take reservations and were able to accommodate six of us for dinner on a Friday night. The design of the restaurant is clean and modern with a large heated patio area off to the side. Our server Alex was so friendly and personable, he checked on us in a timely manner without being intrusive, and was prompt and responsive to all our needs. For appetizers we had the Banana Peppers which were stuffed full of juicy shrimp, and upon Alex's recommendation, the special Seafood dip which turned out to be one of the best dishes of the night. The dip was so tasty and hearty, it set the tone for the delicious food to come. For the entrees we had Drunken Shrimp and Tequila Shrimp which were both excellent, but the sauce on the Tequila shrimp was a real stand out, so rich and flavorful. Also had the Caribbean Alambres which was filled with a lot of seafood in a delicious sauce, and Surf and Turf which was good, although the shrimp was slightly overcooked. The other outstanding dish was the Pulpo a la Gallega. The octopus was cooked perfectly, tender and moist, complemented by two delicious jumbo shrimp and a pesto risotto. Also if you like spice, ask your server for their special house made hot sauce. We only had room for one desert so we ordered the Banana Foster Cheesecake. The sauce was so good, sweet and rummy tasting, but Alex also brought out a piece of decadent chocolate cake complimentary for the birthday girl. Thanks Oceana for a great dinner and service!

Great experience all around. Drunken shrimp was amazing and the drinks were great. 10/10 service and food was 10/10.

We have no words to express how stellar our experience was at Oceana! This was the best food we have had in the Palm Springs area hands down! They are even open for lunch. Go there today!

Don't know where to start. Everything was AMAZING They were so nice to accommodate us without a reservation (but it is highly recommended to make one, it can get so busy) The service was great! They have a wide variety of wines, liquor and cocktails, which they can customize And lastly, the food! It was like being transported to Spain! With a twist! Our new favorite place in the valley

We have been here before for dinner but did not realize that it was open for lunch. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The interior and the vibe transported us to Andares in Guadalajara where we have enjoyed fantastic meals in Mexico. We ordered mussels with clams in a wonderful broth. Then we split the La Burra seafood burrito, the best non-meat burrito in the valley. My wife and I looked at each other with wide eyes and a big grin savoring each bite. We can't wait to go back. Highly recommend Oceana for lunch or dinner.
The portions are huge! We came here for a late lunch and ordered guacamole with lobster, then each of us a serving of Ahi mahi and fries. The sauce on the lobster was spicy and no need for extra hot sauce. I could only eat half my meal, as delicious as it was, but so filling! Service was great and appreciated when server knew I could not eat the bread... he brought tostadas for the guacamole. We sat in the outside area which was wonderful on this beautiful day!

I had the drunken shrimp and it was very good. My friends each had a steak. One was properly cooked, while the other was like leather (over-cooked). Garlic bread was really good. One friend had a mango drink and she enjoyed that. Nice people work there and easy to get something if you need it.

A bit pricey, but the food and service is outstanding. Well, worth it.. The atmosphere was great. Everyone was friendly. I don't have not one bad thing to say about this place. If you get a chance to go, it is a must. Do they've got awesome food, awesome service? An awesome staff
