    Had a wonderful business dinner tonight at Ocean's. This was my 2nd dinner there and as a professional Chef who actively works in the business, both times our whole dining experience was outstanding. Food quality, ambiance, professionalism of our server, timing, value for price paid and ease of reservations was perfect. They made sure to put our table in a quiet area where we could present to our clients - thanks Oceans!
