Nowhere else can you overdose on luxurious ultra-fresh seafood, bask in exceptional service, and lose yourself in a classier era of Americana. From the moment you enter the Oceanaire you feel a sense of place and time akin to a classic 1930s ocean liner. No detail is left to chance. From cocktails in the lounge, to our raw oyster bar, to a main course of ultra-fresh fish, a rendezvous at the Oceanaire is the perfect occasion to indulge your unfettered senses. Our seafood is flown in daily from around the world. We source only top-of-the-catch fish from the world's most reputable suppliers. From the moment it lands on the fisherman's deck to the time it lands on your plate, each catch is carefully coddled to ensure our standards of quality and flavor.
My first experience at the Cincinnati Oceanaire was not a good one. I took my guest there for her Christmas gift, a place she really wanted to try. She ordered the trout and on her third bite she had a mouth laden with bones! The horrific look on her face was very embarrassing, especially since she was my guest. She asked me not to say anything at the time due to more embarrassement. So, I wrote an e-mail to the Oceanaire first thing that Monday morning, stating what had taken place.
The head Chief, Justin Dumcum, responded with an appology and stated that he would follow up with me in a phone call (I left him my cell phone, work number and address). I never heard another word from him or the Oceanaire even after I sent them a second e-mail! I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Spending that kind of money on an expensive cut of fish should not enclude bones in the meal!
Pros: Convience to the Arnoff center
Cons: Bones in the fish

We went to the Oceanaire Seafood Room Friday night with high expectations and were not disappointed. Our waitress Cheryl was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. Everything we ordered was exceptional, and we all agreed the crab cakes were by far, the best we have ever had. This is a very stylish and high quality restaurant that I highly recommend.

The Oceanaire Seafood Room has just earned it's spot on my list of top five restaurants in Cincinnati. The atmosphere is classy and elegant but not too formal, a good place to take a date. I skipped the bar when I went, but the drinks looked pretty generous. The service was wonderful, very attentive and knowledgeable. And most importantly the food was every bit of excellent. I highly recommend the crab cakes and the black and blue mahi mahi.
