Ocean 48 exceeded every expectation during our family dinner for five. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was spectacular, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. Throughout the meal, we kept saying, "This is the best [insert dish] we've ever had!" We enjoyed an incredible array of dishes: oysters, filets, a bone-in ribeye, scallops, sides, and a key lime pie that was simply divine. The cocktails were perfectly curated, complementing the meal beautifully. Ocean 48 is a must-visit for anyone seeking a flawless dining experience. We found absolutely nothing lacking and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

This restaurant never disappoints and now with the Christmas lights and tree and decorations it is enchanting. We took our 2 neighbors who had never been and they were overwhelmed. The food was great and the wine although a bit overpriced was delicious. Really a beautiful start to our Christmas season!

Amazing !! our server jasmine was so awsome, she really made the first experience fun !! The food was 10/10 hats off to the chef. I strongly suggest you get a pomegranate martini, simply delicious. Thank you for a great evening.

We are all pleasantly surprised that the Beachcomber wasn’t just beach food.. The cocktails were yummly and the food was delicious. We had the ahi nachos, lobster rolls & artichoke as appetizers. Main dishes included cioppino, short rib, ahi over zucchini spaghetti and shrimp linguine. The best was their dessert.. The brownie that had a huge toasted marshmallow on top.. So good and the beignets we also tasty. Potions for all foods were healthy. We will return during the day to enjoy the scenery.. Hearing the waves were just as great and relaxing.

I’ve come to this Javier’s multiple times, everything here is amazing. Especially the service. The food is great, my favorite is the Steak Picado. The only downside from my experience is that it is extremely noisy, but that’s not really the restaurants fault it’s just due to high volume.
