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!
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.
On 7/18: Mikhail our server, Kevon the assistant and Ben Carroll, manager were all on point! Went there for a work dinner. My colleagues picked the place and I didn’t have high hopes since I don’t like much seafood but it was a great night with excellent service. My order (Indiana tomato caprese salad and fried calamari) was amazing. Heard my colleagues say the Laughing Bird Shrimp, Shrimp and Grits, the crab cakes were all delicious. We had a great night!

This is our second visit as our time went so well. Once again The Oceanaire did not let us down.
The atmosphere is perfect for a high end restaurant and in my opinion the setting and lighting as one would expect.
Service was impeccable and the waitress in training,Ana, was already ahead of many seasoned servers I have encountered in other restaurants. The rest of the wait staff right there as backup as well.
We mixed it up this visit and went with the fried calamari mix and happy we did. Great flavor and tenderness, often overcooked or just bland which this was not.
The crab cakes perfectly presented and being from the east coast, I can say very impressed. The lobster tail I added just made it that much more fun. Halibut t-bone also a wonderful decision made. All served in a perfectly paced environment, to which I do believe many diners do not understand or enjoy. To some perhaps having appetizer and salad and main course all arrive within seconds a positive, this is not one would generally expect at a fine restaurant.
I think my only not great review was our Brussel Sprout selection as side. The preparation sounded interesting so we went with it. We also went with it knowing our other selections in the past superb, so no harm nor foul lol.
I highly recommend The Oceanaire. A fine upscale seafood restaurant operating in the Midwest, with the ability to serve fresh and often not found combinations at this level.
To those who have mentioned prices, please see above comment as without close proximity to the sea, there will certainly be extra costs to bring fresh seafood here.
Atmosphere was lovely and the service exactly what you would expect in this posh dining spot. Server was helpful with menu items as well. Food was very pricy but worth it for a lovely dining experience. Free bread and cruditet.
Exceptional dining experience. Our server was Allen and he was fantastic. The atmosphere, food and staff were all amazing and we were so happy we chose The Oceanaire to celebrate our anniversary!
We dined here yesterday for my husbands birthday. Staff was extremely welcoming. Our waiter, Rick, was amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, in fact, best steaks we have had. Quiet atmosphere with classical music, low lights but bright enough to see throughout. Parking garage across the street or they have valet for $12. This is an upscale restaurant with a business casual dress code. Their website shows dos/donts on dress. We had a great time here and will return. A filet mignon, ny strip, salad, hashed browns, coke, bread with veg tray, $144 to give you an estimate on price. Very well worth every penny!
My Wife and I chose OSR to celebrate our beloved Daughter’s Birthday and was extremely delighted with the courteous … efficient and polite staff at this trendy Vibe experience of wonderful seafood cuisine.
12/19/2023 - once again, we celebrated my lovely wife’s 60th birthday and the service and food did not disappoint! Brian our lead server and the rest of the staff were amazing as well! She had the Australian lobster and I had the 22 oz bone in ribeye! Just Yummy! She loved her birthday desert! Thanks again for helping make our evening special! 💚💚💚
2022 - Celebrated my Wife’s birthday at Oceanaire’s downtown Indianapolis! The setting was great and food was fantastic! I’ve been there before on business dinners but never on a personal level. It was definitely my wife’s favorite birthday date place! Our server Cara was attentive and extremely friendly and surprised my wife with an awesome desert at the end! Great Job and hope to see you all soon!
This is our go-to place for an elegant dinner to celebrate special occasions. We get the same entrees every time - can’t go wrong with Filet Mignon and King Crab Legs w/ shareable sides of truffle whipped potatoes and grilled asparagus. Always great service and enjoy our dining experience at The Oceanaire!
Always consistently amazing. You can't go wrong with anything from here. It's my most trusted spot for quality oysters, the chicken fried lobster is MVP, and their cocktails are always perfection. I've never had a bad experience in the least. And for one of the highest quality restaraunts in Indy, it's easy to stay well under $300 for 2 people even going all out.
Top notch seafood. Great atmosphere. Only suggestion for improvement would be to turn lights up. Had to get cell phone out to read menu. Fantastic place! Oysters were amazing as was the scallops and truffle whipped potatoes.

We have been here twice and each time the best experience. The clam chowder is absolutely amazing. Their variety of seafood is exceptional. We will be coming back ever time we are in Indy from CA.
The theme was a little too cruise ship for me. I get the name, I get the atmosphere but to have to take out a penlight to see what you’re eating was a little frustrating.
The seafood was great and the the steak was pretty average (think Ruth’s Chris). It was nice to try a place we had never been to before but for the price point ($150 pp) we will be exploring other places. I will say, the desserts ranked among my top favorites.
The food is nothing short of exquisite and the staff are impressive in thier level of care. Their menu is updated daily so that you can be assured everything on it is fresh and available. I had the clam chowder and a seafood salad. Both were beyond fantastic! Others at the table had there crusted lobster tails. Nothing but high praise all the way around for the taste and presentation of these dishes. I also had their signature Oceanaire 2.0 cocktail. Really nice taste with a juicy tart flavor and a sweet finish. Highly recommended for an anniversary or a special date night or if you just want to treat yourself.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary here. Our server was Ariane and she was terrific! Knowledgeable, pleasant and the right amount of attention. We appreciated everyone who took care of us!
Tim our server is what made our experience an A+....or a perfect 5 out of 5. Great place to celebrate our sons 20th birthday and his commitment to join the Air Force. He was deserving of us taking him out for a high priced celebration. For us being common people this was definitely a splurge but we made a memorable experience, even tho my son saw the bill and as he put it "it made me cringe" Yes its upscale and high priced but we weren't disappointed. Thanks Tim for making sure everything went smooth even tho the server dropped my meal and I had to wait until everyone else was finished before even starting mine. We appreciate you and know if it wasn't for you, it could have turned into a bad experience.
Amazing experience. Was here 18 months ago and this trip did not disappoint. The service was incredible. The N.Y. Strip was chared to perfection. It was thr most tender cut I have had. All thr food from the oysters, to lobster bisque soup were amazing. Very romantic.
