    We showed up a little early and the host was quick to help us, as though they anticipated our early arrival. We may have also gotten lucky since it was not nearly as busy as it should be. We got an awesome booth which made it possible to feel isolated from the hustle and bustle, while also never struggling for service. Once at our table, our server, Farrah, was a complete professional. Attentive, but not intrusive, offered to take our picture for our rare away together, and provided excellent recommendations every step of the way. She even knew which things were the freshest, and which drinks would suit the needs of my partner. Spot on every time. After a fabulous dinner, full of picture worthy presentations, she was even engaged with us as we walked out the door. We look forward to going back to experience the rest of the menu.

    Our server Aiden was amazing. The food was delicious but I think it is overpriced compared to other comparable restaurants. The restaurant is lovely and everyone from the host to the server were excellent. It was pretty noisy due to some large parties. We always enjoy OceanAire and will definitely return.

    Service was a bit rushed. Food was good, but one person's fish was a bit overcooked. The scallops were just great! The toffee bread pudding was also great.

    High prices for average food and the service was incredibly slow - we were there for over 3 hours. Our server was lovely but clearly had way too many tables and was rushed. If you are looking for an upscale experience, I would look elsewhere.

    We sat at the bar for a bit more casual dining experience after work. Appetizers were yummy. Happy hour/Admiral Hour options were nice. Cocktails were good. Service was great and main courses were delicious! I love dining at the Oceaniare. I've never had anything that was just "okay". Everything tastes great, every time! And they are always willing to accommodate my food allergies and intolerances. - For that, I am so thankful!! My first experience dining causally at the bar was great and I would do it again.

    Top notch service, lovely menu. Prices are very high but comparable to any other higher end restaurant in the downtown Minneapolis area. Food was good but not to the level where you comment on it when you take your first bite. Like, conversation didn't shift from the show we had seen to "wow this is delicious"... just thank you, taste, move on. Very nice dining room, good wine list, fun cocktails, knowledgeable staff, overall, worth checking out.

    We had a lovely dinner at the Oceanaire. Our server was phenomenal and very knowledgeable about the menu and made good recommendations. Obviously, they're known for their seafood but their steaks are some of the best you can get in the Cities, also.

    WOW! We've been to Oceanaire on holidays/special occasions before, but Easter 2023 was amazing! The Easter menu food was fantastic and far and above any restaurant's "brunch selections" we have ever experienced! The service was excellent and friendly (with bunny ears and orange nail polish).

    I used to dine here on business years ago and while it was always on the higher end, pricing has now gotten absurd. They now charge $4 for bread and relish that used to be gratis. All entrees (no sides) are $60+. It's clear that they are banking on only business diners who don't care about/notice pricing as much. Food was mediocre.
