    I experienced exceptional service and delightful cuisine during my visit, which was in celebration of my birthday. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a personalized birthday card from the General Manager, along with a chocolate dessert inscribed with "Happy Birthday Jhair." This contributed to a wonderful experience for both my wife and me. I would highly recommend this establishment to others.

    The overall experience you’d get at Ocean 48 is absolutely phenomenal! Valentine’s day 2025 was a hit thanks to every one of the staff there. If you’re seeking a fine dining, positive ambiance, dinner date with a loved one this is it. The variety in just the appetizers alone is to die for. The entrees although are delicious could still probably use a little more originality and craft but the food over was excellent. My host, Robert, was impeccable with his duties of taking care if my wishes, so much so that he received a $100 tip on top of the bill. To conclude, Ocean 48 should be your choice in fine dining and will definitely be see my business again!

    Our service was amazing from the time the valets opened our door. They offered to help us with our items because we had serval thing to carry in they were very patient with us. When we approached restaurant there was a host at the door that greeted us. We were immediately taken to our table maybe a 1 minute wait. Our waiter was amazing he noticed we were celebrating something and wished us happy galentines. He was also ver Knowledgeable on menu and helpful with meeting my vegan request. He was professional fun and patient. Only 4 star was one in our party mentioned her steak was bland and Brussel sprouts a little over seasoned for her. Overall 5 star experience can’t wait to go back.
