The Oceanaire Seafood Room

We had an excellent experience for Devour! All of our meals were outstanding, and the desserts were all creative. I loved the salmon with arugula, watermelon, and balsamic. It was perfectly cooked. The lobsters were perfect as well. Service was the best you will find, and staff all worked together as a team to make the experience smooth, with designated staff filling waters and taking dishes. We really appreciated the treatment they gave us - worth returning to!

I greeted and treated like a queen from the moment I stepped into the restaurant. Stephanie the server took me upstairs and I got a bird's eye view of the 1st floor. Bread and butter was offered by a young man who constantly filled my water glass. A veggie relish was also offered and I chewed my way into it. Stephanie was very knowledgeable about the menu and I promised her I'll come back for the oyster experience. Right now, she took my cocktail order and Caesar salad. She checked up on me and made sure I was enjoying the appetizers. Then the lobster came out. It was a glorious thing to behold. I sent it back because it wasn't un shelled. I wore a nice dress and had no intention of ruining it. It was brought out unshelled and I could enjoy the sweet red meat with lemon and butter. Next, Stephanie brought me a glass of pinot griot and chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce. A three course meal that was worth the money I've spent.

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Arturo at Oceanaire in downtown Indianapolis, and he truly made our night unforgettable. It was my boyfriend’s birthday, and Arturo went above and beyond to make it special from start to finish. His knowledge of wine pairings and the menu was incredibly impressive—he didn’t just suggest great pairings, he explained why they worked and what went into each dish, which made the entire experience feel curated and elevated. One of the highlights of our evening was the Alaskan Baked, which was both stunning and delicious—who knew it was made with whipped meringue? Arturo walked us through every detail with such enthusiasm that it added an entirely new level of appreciation to the meal. Thoughtful, professional, and genuinely passionate—Arturo is the kind of server who turns a great dinner into a memorable celebration.

It was average food, service, and atmosphere at above average pricing. Food and drinks were ok but not great. Nothing to complain about but nothing to brag about either.

If you Love Seafood, this is the place to GO!!! WE went for MY Daughter's 20th Birthday Dinner, WE had appetizers of Sushi, & a Seafood Tower w: Jumbo Shrimp, Oysters, Lobster tails, & Crab. I had a cup of some GREAT Clam Chowder, 2 Petite Lobster tails, a 6oz Filet Mignon & for dessert some devine light creamy key lime cheese cake. Hubby had the softest Prime Beef that literally melted in your mouth (?!) w Mashed Potatoes, Baby Asparagus and AMAZING Crab Cake. Their cocktails were greatly presentated and were made perfectly delightful! Atmosphere was pleasantly ✨️ dimmed, w candlelit tables & different fishes on the walls. Along w a visual oyster bar at their seated bar, where u could also eat at the bar, watch a game on their 2 large big screen tvs and have an alcoholic beverage from their GRAND collection of wines, liquors, alcohols, mixed drinks, special cocktails or beers. Service was 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS and very attentive to our party of 9! Absolutely recommend!!! A must try, and you will be more than satisfied with their glorious cuisine, menu, service and atmosphere!!

Made a reservation for my birthday days in advance and it was not busy at all but they sat us right by the hostess stand (picture #2) where I was awkwardly starred at all of dinner. We ordered the 2 ib lobster and tuna. Tuna was grey, which I know can be ok (I asked Google while sitting at the table) they comped it bc my husband could not eat it. The lobster was very good (2ibs probably not.) They showed me the cooked lobster 10 minutes before they brought it out and you can see the meat on the lobster was chopped up and just weird. Disappointed that I chose to have dinner here on my birthday and this is the review I have to leave. I've been here in the past and it was WAY better. I appreciate the manager comping the tuna but I would have rather had an excellent meal than taking it off the bill. Just overall this is a hard NO never again. I see why it wasn't busy on a Saturday night.

When we have a special occasion to celebrate, more often than not, Oceanaire is our dining destination. Located in downtown Indianapolis, this venue has plenty of seating and a fantastic menu, perfect for my wife, a pescatarian. From the hoststand, to the wait staff, to the servers, the staff makes the experience at Oceanaire even better. We can always count on food cooked to perfection every single time. Every meal starts with complementary bread and crudité. Tonight we split the lobster bisque and the Sangria with a grey goose drink as well. We absolutely love the chopped seafood salad. It is excellent and hard to pass up. We also had the sesame crusted yellowfin tuna with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and legit wasabi. A dot will do per bite. Amazing. The hash brown was the absolute best. Can’t wait for our next celebratory occasion! This is an independent, uncompensated review.
