The Oceanaire Seafood Room

We had the most phenomenal, delicious, fantastic graduation dinner celebration at Oceanaire Seafood Room in Boston that I had to write about my truly amazing experience. I do not write reviews often, but feel so grateful to Bailey, the manager, for being over-and-beyond professional, attentive, thoughtful, patient and caring. She truly made it a fabulous dining experience for my family and special friends who joined us from overseas. I wanted to make sure this was a truly special dinner and Bailey helped me create the menu for us and made everything just perfect. The food was outstanding- the glorious seafood (lobster, oysters, shrimp, king crab, etc.), steaks (NY Strip, tenderloin) and sides (truffle mashed potatoes, asparagus, 2 salads) were truly delicious (note: I am very picky!), plentiful and the presentation was gorgeous. The ambiance was perfect - warm, elegant, but comfortable and very inviting in our semi-private area. The service could not have been better- our server was always there to assist in any way and delivered our food exactly on time and as we wished. I cannot thank Bailey enough for all her help to make this the best experience possible and I would highly recommend Oceanaire to anyone who wants a special dinner for their family or friends. I would give more stars if I could... we will be back for sure...THANK YOU!!!

This place is definitely 5 stars and checks all the boxes. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. The food portions were just right and food tasted delicious. The drinks were perfect! We tried a few different drinks and all were great tasting with the perfect amount of alcohol. Our waitress was the best and very accommodating even though we were there past closing. We didn't realize the time they closed and she did not make us feel rushed and even offered more. Also, the best part about this restaurant is the history. This was an actual bank and even still has the safe deposit sign. I worked there when it was a bank but like it even more as a restaurant. This is a must try if you're thinking of eating out.

I really can’t fault this place for anything. Everything was perfect! From making the reservation to the service and food and drinks. I especially enjoyed their flourless chocolate cake, it was scrumptious! The halibut was over charred, and the sauce on the salty side, but still enjoyable.

Beautiful restaurant in downtown Boston. Excellent service by all involved. Appetizers were delicious and good sized. The appetizer crab cake was 90% crab meat and enough for my main course. The mushrooms were a bit salty. The $42 swordfish was dinky (4 oz?), not big enough for an entrée that came solo on the plate.
