4.4 / 5.0(18,723 reviews)
So good! We got a 10% coupon from the guy outside so we decided why not. Our server was awesome! She talked us into a drink they were promoting. I'm glad she did. We had crab cakes for an app. We ordered the trio and Shrimp pasta. Jambalaya was sooo good! Pasta has amazing flavor and did not disappoint. We devoured the crab cakes as well. It was fun, food was amazing, definitely recommend! We heard about Oceana Grill from locals who highly recommended it. We were not disappointed. Everything was GREAT right from the manager that greeted us, to our server Daniel Campos, and of course the food. I had started with the barbecue shrimp cheesecake (yes it is real), and a hurricane, of course. The main course was the Bayou Bliss which was out of this world! Try this place once and you will keep going back, just like we do. Thank you Oceana Grill and Daniel for great times! Seriously impressed. The food was delicious, but the service was what really blew us away. Our waiter had an incredible memory, perfectly recalling our entire order despite all our questions and special requests—all without a notepad! This spot is a definite recommendation, and it's super convenient, just steps from Bourbon and Royal Street. Go!

Our visit was 6 Oct, party of three for dinner. We ate upstairs. Our waiter was a delight, helpful, professional. All the staff encountered was a pleasure. Our food was very well cooked & tasty. Pictures attached. Would come back again. Place was recommended by Bluegreen Vacations staff & Mardi Gras museum that we had visited before eating.

This place was amazing. John the bartender was very welcoming and social. He made sure everyone at his bar was a conversation. The food was phenomenal. Had the blackened steak with rice and greens. Chefs kiss. And the bread pudding with the side of ice cream was heaven. The couple next to me ordered the craziest crab drink lol thank you for letting me take a picture!
