    Fantastic service! To start, our table ordered the calamari, ceviche, and seafood rolls. The seafood rolls were a fan favorite, but my personal favorite was the ceviche. If you love a dish that perfectly balances flavors and textures, this is the one for you. The fresh scallops serve as a fantastic vessel for the bold, spicy-tangy sauce, which effortlessly coats each bite, while the smooth, earthy flavor of the avocado ties it all together beautifully. For mains, the ahi tuna was the clear standout—absolutely exceptional. The barramundi was served with a variety of delicious sauces, each one worth savoring to the last drop. The salmon was perfectly cooked as well. While I wasn’t a fan of the risotto side dish, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our evening went swimmingly (mind the pun). They made my parents’ anniversary celebration so special—thank you for a wonderful experience!

    My boyfriend and I enjoyed a wide selection of oysters and the beef tartare which I would argue is the best in the city. We enjoyed ourselves as always, and we will definitely be back.

    Happy to have eaten at Modern Ocean again. We ordered the Land and Sea platter, which was absolutely fantastic, but a ton of food for 2 people. I would recommend it for more like 4 people. The only complaint, and therefore the 4 stars for value, is the ceviche. I felt it was a bit light for the cost, but was delicious. Excited to have our leftovers for dinner tonight!
