   The food was over priced but it was a nice experience. I paid $ 12 for an Arnold Palmer and one refill.

   It was our first time dining at Ocean 48, and we were celebrating my 78th birthday! It was a wonderful dining experience from the time we arrived until we left. We given a private booth, and Johnny provided excellent service. For our entrees we had Chilean Sea Bass and the Sea Scallops, which were prepared perfectly. Sides were excellent as well the wine. I was given the dessert of my choice which was a wonderful gesture. Thank you for a very special evening!

   We were seated as soon as we arrived next to the water feature which is absolutely beautiful. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I try to avoid the bread at restaurants but it was so different from what others serve and was mouth-watering delicious. I couldn't make up my mind on one dish so I had two appetizers -- the little neck clams and the Spanish octopus. Both were wonderful. My dinner companion ordered the 16 oz. steak, scalloped potatoes and brussel sprouts w/ bacon to share. I was surprised he ordered steak in a seafood restaurant but after a taste I think I might have the beef next time. I don't remember tasting beef like that for a very long time. The prices are high (as is everything these days), so, for me, it's a special occasion restaurant only. Definitely an evening and a meal to remember.

   My date and I had the fried calamari and shrimp for an appetizer, which was crispy and tasty. However, the squid tentacles were not to be found (that always concerns me since other substitutes for real calamari is used by some restaurants). However, the squid pieces were thick, so perhaps the tentacles may have been too tough to serve. My date's main course was Hamachi Crudo which was beautifully sliced and delicious. I had seared scallops as the main course - they were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I had a martini cocktail which was perfectly prepared and generously portioned. The waiter, servers and busboys were always present and provided perfect service. Our waiter, Minju, was impressively knowledgeable of the dishes along with their preparation and was very attentive. They provided a complementary delicious dessert since it was my birthday celebration. I am looking forward to dining there again. It was one of our finest dining experiences.

   We did not have a great table. The food was very good. Your experience will depend upon your server. We did not have a good server.
