My family and I had the best dinning experience at this amazing establishment (Ocean 48). By far, an unparalleled evening celebrating my wife’s birthday as well as my son’s upcoming birthday. The entire evenings experience was the best! Staff went above and beyond and we were highly impressed with the attention to every conceivable detail. We will definitely be back for future dinner celebrations. Sincerely, The Arreguin Family

I wanted to be impressed but so many details missed. Host stand crowded with workers just chatting letting guests stand there in acknowledged. Flooring is ridiculously slippery watched guests slip and awful kitchen carpets lining the walk way really lower the visual impact. Glass wear outside of wine glasses is very basic (water glasses used for everything), hot towels at the end of the meal literally had holes in them delivered to our table and smell of tea tree oil, service was mid at most. Server kept recommending dishes that did not meet our allergy needs after letting him know twice. Food felt touristy. Side dishes are “shared” yet never left at the table just scooped and plopped on main dish. For a “high end” experience lots of training needed as was no where near a high end steak/fish house expelled. Music is super random not setting any specific mood. Overall the glass enclosed seafood kitchen is very pretty, the location is prime but the food, ambiance and service feels very mid.
