    Actually such an incredible experience. Bartenders with Banter. Fellow diners who trash talk and harass with ease. Good people and incredible atmosphere.

    Food was 10/10. Service was great. Only con was the valet parking, waited around 7-8 mins after I got my car for the other cars to clear to leave. You could probably park your own car in the lot instead of choosing valet.

    It was our first time checking it out. We frequent the ocean club and used to eat at fig & olive all of the time, so while it was new to us, it felt like visiting old friends. Kylie, our server was fantastic. A real pro. The chicken fried lobster tails are definitely worth trying. Try to resist filling up on the delicious buttery bread, if you’re able to resist a second piece, you’re more discipline than I am . I had the Mediterranean fish and it was delicious. My wife had the New York strip, which is also delicious… I stole a bite. She loved it as well. Wouldn’t change a thing about the entire visit.

    As a first time guest I was excited to try the steaks I had heard they were good but when I actually tasted it it was better.

    We had such a wonderful memorable dinner with family. Everything was exceptionally delicious. Fried lobster tail, scallops, sea bass, tomahawk steak and gold plus New York steak. Paper plane cocktail and stone fruit refreshing. For dessert, red velvet pudding and triple layer key lime pie were surprisingly different and so good. We would be back!

    This is our second visit to Ocean 48 and it did not let us down.  As soon we walked in we were greeted and seated in timely manner.  our server, Andrew and his supporting staff Andy and Daniel were amazing and their communication and attention to detail 10/10. The manager Brent checked on our table several times, which is an amazing to see management care about their guests. The following day I received a phone call from the restaurant to make sure our dining experience was great. We cannot wait to go back.
