I must confess, it is the BEST CRAB CAKE I have ever had.\r \r I was recently downtown San Diego and went to the Oceanaire for Happy Hour. The bartenders are funny and very friendly. I asked for the crab cake. They instructed me that it…

Great Service by Brenda J via Insider Pages on 3/30/2012

Giving it 5 stars for everything, cocktails, entree, appetizers, dessert, service and location. Told Manager that the service was decent and he actually got emotional. This pride in service is very hard to find.

Impossible not to like this food by Less2Les via Citysearch on 7/9/2011

I have never tasted better seafood anywhere, and we have been all over the world. Hands down, the best ever. We don't come here often because it's just too expensive for us, but when we want to treat ourselves, we make a trip over and go…

Amazing seafood in San Diego by Heather R. via Judy's Book on 7/1/2010

Without a doubt, one of the best seafood restaurants in San Diego. They don't skimp on the quality and that's very important when it comes to seafood. Everything we ordered was fresh and tasted absolutely delicious.

Great place for big groups! by dlemoo via Citysearch on 10/25/2009

Go family-style and order a few appetizers, salads and sides...The portions are huge, the food is fantastic and the service is great. Go for the hash browns...take home the left overs, they are great in the morning for breakfast!

Last week a friend of mine took me to the Oceanaire for their happy hour and challenged me to eat my very first Oyster. I am not adventurous when it comes to raw seafood, but we were sitting at the Raw Bar and after a martini and the happy…

A Near Perfect Evening by fishking1 via Citysearch on 8/26/2008
