Oceanaire Seafood Room

"Seafood Flown In Fresh Daily"

  • Award Winning Wine List

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

03/02/2009 Posted by jdp13

My wife and I visited about a month ago for desert after a show at the Paramont and were so impressed that we were anxiously awaiting an opportunity to go back for the full meal deal. We were not disappointed. The menu is extensive and impressive with interesting and imaginitive preparations of seafood staples as well as some unusual varieties. Our dinner was exquisitly prepared and presented by knowledgeable and courteous wait staff. Look for generous portions, and service that exceeds expectations. We finished the evening with a cappuccino that was absolutely off the charts! Highly recommended if you want to impress someone that enjoys seafood!

Pros: Great food and service

We went to the Oceanaire to celebrate my girlfriend's sister's birtthday, we sat in a plush retro booth that was comfy, and we felt like we were in our own timeless world. Fresh bread and relish trays started us off and wow even that was good. Phyllis was our server, she was friendly and always there at the right time. They ran out of salmon, but in a busy fresh fish house, this can happen, so I got the black cod instead, and that melted in my mouth it was so good. We had their brownie for dessert and that was the best part, what a decadent dessert! One of the best dinners I've had in Seattle, I highly recommend it!

Pros: great fresh fish, food, and ambience

Cons: big portions and possible weight gain
