   For the prices, some of the food was “fine” while others were very good (oysters, the Ramen). Main complaint is that the service was slow (though it was more than half empty on a Wednesday), some of the food (bisque) had been sitting around a while.

   Service wasn’t great, understaffed, we were being served by the bar tender which was unusual and had to keep asking for his attention as the bar was busy Food was very salty, we left a lot of food and didn’t want to take away in a box

   Sorry to say. Everything was terrible Service was at its worse. Food was not good. Management tried their best to make it up to us. But considering so many places to go and that we chose there. Very disappointing

   This was our fourth experience at Oceanaire in Boston. We're very leery of "chains" but every time we visit, we're treated with exceptional service and outstanding, fresh seafood - no chain feel whatsoever. It is as close as one can expect for a fine dining experience in the city!

   I think our waiter was having a bad day, I think normally the service is very good as well. The manager and other servers were wonderful. Otherwise I would have given it a5 star rating. We’ll definitely will be going back.

   We had a really nice dinner at Oceanaire seafood. The food was great and our server was excellent. Only disappointing thing were the number of bones left behind in the branzino. Would still recommend though.

   We were taking clients out and the waitress was sweet, lacking experience, and it was like five or 10 minutes before she came over, and I had to go up and see if I could find her. My sword fish tasted awful and I think was old. So sad and it used to be a good restaurant, Very disappointing especially after spending about $200.
