First time visiting this restaurant because it is located next to my hotel, the Four Seasons. The restaurant atompshere is dark and fairly upscale. The waiter provided great service, gave you time to order, and stucked a conversation. However, the food was just so-so, which I didn't expect from a high-end place. The calamari is tiny and greasy that tasted like from a frozen supermarket package, shrimps were dry, and the crab cake was so small; on the other hand, the salmon and the asparagus were alright, and the fries were the best. The bill for three people with no drinks came out to $200. I think i can have a 5 stars meal in NYC or at the Four Seasons for about the same price. It was my first visit and most likely my last.

This is one of the best places you can ever eat at. I love it. Service is on point and the vibes are perfect. I’m a pescatarian and started going to this place about 5 years ago and it hits every time !! I highly recommended for a wonderful dining experience. Well worth every penny.

It was a very nice dinner. Food was excellent. Oyster were exceptional. Desert was really good, don't miss the baked Alaska. Ask for bread too, the sourdough was tremendous. The only suggestion I could suggest would be to increase the protein portion size. I asked for the tuna and a crab cake, . The tuna alone even with sides would leave me a little hungry. Overall excellent.
Our service was excellent. We celebrated a family member's birthday here. The staff made the birthday man so welcome and paid him extra special attention all night. Every one of our party of 12, from the smaller children to the older adults, received attentive service. We ordered a variety of food - seafood tower, soup, salad, crab cakes, fish, coffee, dessert - everyone enjoyed!

Great time. First time visiting this restaurant and I will definitely come back. The service was awesome, so that always makes a place great to me. All food items were great. We had the scallops, the Salmon Imperial, sushi, and great sides. The old fashion cocktails was also perfect.

The crab cakes were some of the best I've had in Baltimore and we also had the octopus and wedge salad. Everything was delicious and the ambience was quiet. Can't say enough about this place! If you're on the fence about going just go! You won't be sorry!

I have been to this restaurant several times over the years. I proposed to my wife here over a decade, ago. The restaurant itself is still decent but the guest has made this place a joke. There is no dress code. The women are half naked and the men seem to not own dinner coats. I don't want to hear no crap about dress codes being racist. I am African American. Dress codes are not racist! Dress codes separate fast food from fine dining. I paid $300 to eat at the neighborhood Mc Donald's. Do better. Men shouldn't have hoodies and caps on at the diner table.

The manager Andrew and the chef are SO accommodating with vegan requests! They just need a few days heads up and even on V-day, when they were absolutely packed, the chef still went out of his way to make beautiful delicious vegan food. We will definitely be back!
The food was delicious, especially the hot buttered bread. ? I ordered Grilled Rock Fish with a hint of lemon butter, and it was perfect. My husband ordered a 10oz steak. He said it was delicious. The side order was sautéed spinach and it was enough for both of us. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and looking forward to going again.
Had a reservation on Valentine's Day. Totally missed our reservation time slot due to an accident and awful traffic on the highway. Arrived over two hours late but due to the fact that I had kept the restaurant updated while in transit, we were shown to our table as soon as we arrived. Love the ambiance and service in this restaurant. The food was good too. Not inexpensive but for fine dining it was not bad.

All was okay. But that is just it...okay. The service was good, a bit slower than I expected; given that the restaurant was 2/3 empty. Our food came as ordered, however, one of my party's steak was over cooked and beyond the temp ordered. Although the drinks were good, my guests found them very sweet and hard to fully enjoy. I guess there is a reason to stick with what you know verses going by the bartenders recommendations. We all have different pallets. Personally, the experience was okay. Typical. But, I think that's my point. I had higher expectations for this top-end, fine dining establishment; right, wrong or indifferent. It was my Daughter's milestone birthday...they provided a great desert, but the overall experience was, honesty, just okay.

Overbooked so ended up waiting almost 40 minutes after reservations. Then was seated in the bar area at a table barely big enough to hold the food we ordered. The food was average with not a lot of flavor. Which is sad because Oceanaire is one of my favorite restaurants.
