The Oceanaire Seafood Room 30 South Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204

"We made reservations here during business trip. This place is definitely worth the money. Absolutely great food and service. Our waiter gave us great suggestions and he was right about all of it. I will definitely visit again in the future."

"The food and drink we shared he was pretty good. This was part of a company outing, and we were a little disappointed to find out that we were secluded to an isolated dining room several floors above the main restaurant. It made it a little more difficult to get several drinks. But our overall experience was good, and the staff was pretty accommodating!"

"I reserved a table for Valentine's Day about 2-3 weeks ahead of time for my partner and me. It was our first time going there; we were excited and had high expectations. Unfortunately, only some of those expectations were met. On the day of our reservation, we showed up 2-3 minutes early and were told we needed to wait 15 minutes for our table. I understand it was a busy night, but even so, a reservation was made, so the table should've been available and ready to seat with a minimum of 5-minute wait time. Not to mention, several other couples had also made reservations and were not accommodated. The entire time we were there, the front door and hostess desk entrance were jam-packed. This does not look well for their atmosphere as each party member probably waited 20-30+ minutes to get a table that they reserved. They either seated several walk-ins without looking more carefully at the reservations or overbooked altogether. About 15 minutes passed, and I had yet to receive a text or get called up for a table. I gave them another 10 minutes and attempted to speak with a hostess or manager who was upfront. They spoke with one of the customers, and dispersed in different directions. The hostess desk was unattended, and at least two hostesses were on their phones in the coat check room. I had to "interrupt" them to let them know I had finally gotten a text and would like to be seated. It felt highly unprofessional for the hostess desk to be unattended for longer than 5 minutes when there was a line out the door and customers who needed to be attended to. Eventually, one of the younger hostesses sat us at probably one of the worst tables in the restaurant. It was situated in the direct path of a walkway, where both waiters and customers were bumping into my partner's chair. I let her know, and initially, she told me I'd have to wait a while for another table. I almost left at that point, but luckily, another employee came up and moved us to the balcony. I hope we caught the Oceanaire Seafood Room on a bad day because it would be a shame if this were the highly-rated restaurant I've heard about all these years. With that being said, our waiter was the best! He was very attentive and answered a plethora of our questions. The food arrived promptly, and we even made friends at our table."

"Amazing. The food was beyond the best expectations. I wish I could afford to eat there frequently but it was a one and done for me. But if you can afford it, GO. You won't regret it. The laughing shrimp was the best thing I have eaten in my entire life."

"This is my 2nd time back to Oceanaire Seafood Room and I was even more impressed. The service is truly remarkable, Jacob was extremely attentive and made us feel special the entire way through dinner. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. Our food was prepared to perfection and had outstanding flavor. The escargot is a must! The Baked Alaska was fun and sweet way to end the evening!"
