    Our family enjoyed a lovely holiday dinner at Ocean 48. The steak was amazing with many sides to choose from. Our server John was very knowledgeable and attentive.

    Perfection and excellence in preparing incredible meals with 5 star ingredients and master chef skills. It was a wonderful experience our server was efficient and highly personable suggesting off the menu items and bringing us wine tastings prior to us ordering, will definitely make it a point to dine here more frequent!

    The food & service is excellent. Hard to hear the server explain the menu because the music is too loud.

    This was the best meal I've had in a long time! Hands down my new favorite restaurant in south OC. Branzino and bone in filet were delicious. And the rolls were to die for. Service outstanding. Loved the decor and vibe here. Such a memorable experience. Can't wait to go back. Would highly recommend. And the cherry on top was that a rep from the restaurant called me the next day to offer thanks and get my feedback! Try it, you won't be disappointed

    Overall, the experience was fantastic, and the service was outstanding. However, I gave the food 4 stars because our bone-in filet, which we ordered medium, arrived closer to medium rare. Additionally, the plate wasn’t very hot, so the steak cooled quickly, which wasn’t quite what we had hoped for.

    Everything was excellent! Robert was hands down the best server we’ve ever had—attentive, professional, and friendly. The food was outstanding, served at the perfect temperature, and the music added just the right vibe to the restaurant. Ocean 48 truly exceeded our expectations!
