    I came here for brunch with a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was clear a lot of thought went into creating the beautiful atmosphere. We ordered the avocado toast and the raspberry french toast which were both delicious and beautifully plated. The service was welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend!

    I’ve been back to O Sea several times since my last review on open table. The overall quality of the experience makes this an exceptional value as well as incredibly satisfying. The food is very delicious, well thought out, presented perfectly and so pleasing to the taste buds! And now they have wine flights! This makes exploring the wines Mike has curated incredibly fun. Mike has expertly assembled wines from the US and the world, that are priced reasonably and are of higher quality than most restaurants. And now with the wine flights you can try out more of them without feeling like you are over indulging. My hat is off to his cook and wait staff, especially Sara, Christie, Alondra and Elise. They have all waited on me on different occasions and are superb, friendly, helpful, timely and very knowledgeable. Mike trains them very well and that means the service is consistent every time. If you are this far into my review and you’re still wondering if you should try it out, let me say you will be sorry if you don’t. This is a great place for seafood and wine.
