"Seafood Flown In Fresh Daily"

The Oceanaire Seafood Room is an inviting retro supper club that serves the freshest seafood possible in a setting that is sophisticated yet relaxed and sleek yet warm. The restaurant features plush, red leather booths and wood-accents for a look of high-style swanky elegance. Big band and swing music resonate throughout the dining room, calling to mind the flavor of a forgotten era. The Oceanaire showcases more than 30 varieties of fresh seafood on a daily-printed menu, featuring selections from the Pacific Northwest, as well as varieties from around the world. The oyster bar greets our guests as they swing through the revolving door and offers 10 to 12 varieties of fresh oysters.

Editorial Review for Oceanaire Seafood Room – by Allison Austin

The Scene
Dark wood, plush booths, waiters in white jackets, cocktails the size of Montana--this is a seafood restaurant that thinks it's a steakhouse. The jazzy soundtrack and welcoming, knowledgeable servers encourage an easy, loungey air. Dinner here feels like a serious night on the town.

The Food
There's salmon and ahi tuna on the menu, but also more uncommon selections like moonfish and marlin. The list of fresh seafood offers up to 25 varieties (and can change daily), typically including live crab, lobster and a dozen different oysters. Portions are very generous and whether you order fried halibut cheeks, a BLT salad, grilled salmon or crab cakes, it's hard to go wrong. Desserts--including baked Alaska and a chocolate-caramel brownie--are large, decadent and perfect for sharing.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

The broad selection of exotic seafood is enticing, but portions are mammoth: An entree, appetizer and salad is plenty for a party of four.

What to Drink

The wine list offers a good range of choices, but check the chalkboards for wines by the glass. Cocktails are pricey, but there's no skimping on the size.

Group Dining

Private dining is available for groups of up to 35 people.

User Reviews for Oceanaire Seafood Room

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Our experience started the moment we walked in the door, a very friendly young lady promptly escorted us to our seats, asking our preference of a booth or a table. Once seated a wine menu was placed on the table with a plate of relish's and water. Our server, Tim introduced himself and was very knowledge about their wine list and the specials of the day. He was very friendly and attentive without being annoying. He was quick with information we needed to make our entree decisions. Our table was cleared promptly between courses and the Flaming Baked Alaskia was the perfect end to a perfect meal, sinfully delicious.

We had a marvelous dinner at the Oceanaire on a Saturday night a few weeks ago. We sat in a cozy booth and were amazed at the varitiey of entrees available. We started out with the best oysters ever...light and delicate...and then moved on to the tuna...cooked to perfection and melted in our mouths...wow...The shrimp scampi was divine and my fish was incredible...The creamed corn was the best side dish i have ever gotten anywhere...But....Save room for dessert...We had the sombrero of love which included: huge slices of...key lime pie, cheesecake, chocolate mousse and creme brulee...all of our favorites served in an enormous bowl dripping with flames...an incredible presentation and not to be missed! The service was wonderful and the manager even stopped by to say hello, how charming. We loved our dinner here and will be back!

Pros: Great service, great food

Cons: none
