You claim to be a 4 star establishment, but yet you have no dress code & allow your patrons to behave in an disorderly fashion , I'm very disturbed with the atmosphere, I will no longer recommend your establishment in the future

We were there for happy hour, and the place was packed. The service was great and the food was unbelievable.

Happy hour at Oceana is the place to be! This restaurant is not only gorgeous, but their happy hour specials are fire. Champagne, cocktails, oysters, and delicious bites are all featured on the happy hour menu. And the fun doesn't stop there. The dinner menu has even more delicious options. The seafood is fresh and has incredible flavor. My favorite is the steamed seafood platter... with snow crab, king crab, dungeness crab, and peal and eat shrimp. You should stick around for desert too... because no meal is complete without an affogato. A delicious combination of espresso and vanilla ice cream.Cheers y'all!

AMAZING happy hour at Taverna Oceana! It's now my new favorite happy hour spot (sorry Orsay) in Jax. It runs from 4pm to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday and all their oysters are BOGO!We made reservations for 5:15pm on Friday, were seated promptly, they were already super busy, and our waiter, Robert, got our drinks rolling very quickly so we could order and take advantage of the happy hour specials. He is an absolute pro and truly one of the best waiters I've ever had.The drinks were SO good! On Robert's recommendation I tried the Mayport Dirty, which is a vodka martini made with a bit of clam juice, vermouth and I forget what else but it was delicious! It's now my new favorite and I see many more of these in my future. ???My husband and son got Old Fashions and as you can see they were very generous pours. They were quite happy with them.Now let talk about the food...Those oysters! They had such a great selection (see the pic of the daily oyster menu) and we had the Oishi, the Gigamoto, and the Heart's Desire. They were all so wonderful but I think the Gigamotos were my favorites.It is so hard to pick a favorite of the appetizers we had next so I'm just going to declare it a three way tie between the Smoothered Tater Tots, the Kimchi Brussel Sprouts, and the Ceviche Toastada. I'm seriously craving them all over again as I'm writing this. It was a flavor explosion and we were all raving about them. The Shrimp Cocktail and Peel and Eat Shrimp were also delicious, cooked perfectly and so flavorful, the entire selection was a home run!The timing of drinks coming out, our dishes being brought as they were ready, and how top notch and friendly the service was can only be described as absolute perfection. It has now set the bar so high for what I will hope for at any place going forward.I have to say, as a San Marco resident, this is the best seafood experience in our area. I can't wait to go back and try a tower because this time I was stuffed after happy hour was done, and I will be trying my best to get Robert as our server again. That guy is just the best!Descriptions are on each pic and the happy hour menus are at the end of the pics. Try it for yourself. You'll be so glad you did! ? ?Taverna Oceana
Oceana is a great restaurant. The food is amazing (especially the oysters) and the place is beautiful. Our waiter Bradley was great. He knew the menu very well and was so nice and helpful. This is my new favorite place in Jacksonville!

THIS PLACE WAS GOOD! From the food, to the service, and the restaurant is pretty and very chic! I'm not a raw oyster type of girl but my husband had some for the first time and liked them. We were there to drink and eat good food, and they did not disappoint. The peel and eat shrimp were seasoned to perfection. And the Waygu burgers were tender and had a very savory taste. We sat at the bar so our waitress was Sarah and she was amazing. Great customer service! I'll be making this place a regular for sure
Beautiful ambiance! Service was excellent. Cocktails were ? phenomenal! The oysters were top tier and the Caesar salad was devine! Only giving 4 stars because my seafood pasta was bit on the salty side but still very good . My fiancé loved the sea bass he ordered . We will be back again!

Oddly, this was my second dinner of the night. I tried a newly opened restaurant in the area and regretted not started the evening here. The menu options were great and though I was partially full from dinner 1, I couldn't resist getting a dinner to at least attempt and bring home to finish off. I got the seafood pasta and it was as delicious as it sounded. I loved the atmosphere, decor, and service. I will absolutely be returning to try more of the menu!
