Guide Review - Oceanaire Seafood Room Restaurant Review

The house specialty at the Oceanaire is raw oysters. There are 10 to 12 varieties of oysters, priced individually, so you can order a mixture. If you like a variety of seafood, try the Grand Shellfish Platter--oysters, mussels, whole steamed lobster, shrimp and Alaska king crab legs for $69/platter. The best of the cooked fish is the day's special, broiled. Selections may include walleye pike, local rockfish or Dover sole. Nice selection of wines. Décor is inviting with dark wood paneling, semicircular red-leather booths, and white tablecloths. The main dining room can be a bit noisy. For a quieter meal, ask for a table in the smaller room to the back of the restaurant.
