Oceanaire Seafood Room

Member rating: 2.5

900 S. Miami Ave., Suite 111
Brickell, FL 33130

Break out the champagne to welcome this swanky new steakhouse-style seafood emporium to the Brickell area. It exudes retro elegance, from the cushy red leather booths to the bouncy swing music. Waiters in crisp whites are as well-trained as sailors. The daily-changing menu is most impressive for its vast selection of fresh oysters as well as more than a dozen fresh fish and shellfish. Standouts include shrimp de jonghe, simply grilled red grouper and seafood stew "a la Cubana." Dishes are a la carte, leaving diners to fill out their plates with pricey and mostly very good sides. Desserts are hugely decadent, including a potent chocolate rum cake with a tower of dense freshly whipped cream and juicy berries.

I recently had a business lunch here with seven other colleagues. First the decor gets high marks--modern and clean. Now for the food. If you eat oysters, then Oceanaire is your destination. Different types of oysters (the names I can't even recall (i'm not an oyster connosseur), were attractively arranged on a ice tray. My coworkers devoured it. I on the other hand had the shrimp cocktail--average. The sour dough bread was also another comfort food that received high marks. The main course, I ordered the Pumpkin Swordfish. A fan of swordfish, I was disillusioned. There was no seasonal pumpkin to accentuate the fish. "Pumpkin" referred to the dirty orange-colored carmelized onions. A disappointment. I've had better fish at less expensive restaurants. Not worth the price. What did receive rave reviews were the Bloody Mary's. Served in a tall hourglass shaped glass, the rim is frosted with what appears to be salt and Old Bay Seasoning--the secret ingredient. Onto desserts--the chocolate rum cake and bread pudding were more than decadent--they were sinful. I loved every morsel! Finally the service met our expectations--not surprising given the high powered individuals at the table. Skip the entrees. Fill up with Bloody Mary's, oysters and desserts at the Oceanaire. ...
