Really wonderful restaurant! Service was great. The atmosphere feels very luxurious. Every table gets a fresh veggie tray and bread. Both were great! Its nice have two free appetizers included. The lobster was cooked perfectly! The steak was excellent. The salmon wasn’t the best I had but it was fine. The fries were good. Green beans were okay. I think for the price of the appetizers, it was a bit disappointing. Overall the great rating is from the service. Everyone is helping each other.

Amazing experience. Food was fantastic. Service was spot on. My husband had Chilean seabass and I had the swordfish. For dessert we had the Baked Alaska. We also had the crab cakes and crab tails. The crab cakes were the best I’ve ever had in my life – so fresh! The sauce on the swordfish made me crave more.

I’ve eaten at literal tons of restaurants downtown but The Oceanaire was one place I somehow had never even been to before! We recently dined in for the first time so here’s my first experience:
We came on Christmas Day at around 5 PM and they weren’t very busy. Our waitress was SUPER friendly and attentive to our table and gave some great menu recommendations. We started with the complimentary bread/butter along with an order of the Calamari. Both were fantastic!
I got the Chicken Fried Lobster as my entree. Overall, I was blown away to a point where I think this may be one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The lobster was tender, the breading was super crispy and fried to perfection, the mashed potatoes I ordered with it were great too and the hot sauce on top was an amazing addition to flavor.
Overall, a phenomenal first experience at The Oceanaire. If you’re in Downtown Indy and craving a true seafood spot, this is definitely the winner! I will easily come back.

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 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!

Our first visit to the Oceanaire. Outstanding is an understatement. Brittany and Randy took excellent care of use, the Sea Bass Ramen was superb, my wife reported the best ribeye she’s ever had. The chef pulled off a perfect Pittsburg on the steak. Absolutely wonderful.
If you miss dining at Oceanaire, you are missing a lot.

It was certainly a memorable night, but for all the wrong reasons. People who were nearby our table will be talking about what they witnessed. Our server was awful from the start. She was awkward and unprofessional from the start and we couldn’t figure out why. We ordered a seafood tower and I ended up wearing it. All down my back, ice, lobster, oyster juice, the whole shebang… And the heavy metal bowl slammed into my shoulder as the tower crashed on me. I wasn’t injured, but it was very jarring. The server and the manager were very apologetic and moved us to a new table while they cleaned the mess and my instinct told me to request a new server and I didn’t. I sure wish I had! The service didn’t get any better… I’m sure she was humiliated, so I didn’t want to make a scene or a fuss. But it was as bad as bad gets. I ordered an expensive bottle of wine that I had been looking forward to for weeks and she messed that up, too. She gave us small glasses, when I know they have big glasses to best enjoy a bold Cab Sauv in. She broke the cork, didn’t decant the wine in front of me and never once poured us a second glass. My steak was cold, which was fitting since so was I. Then she had the audacity to say to me that she was upset that the incident where she “got a little bit of ice on me” had happened in front of her GM. It was a bit more than a little ice and I have the wet/smelly blouse to prove it. The restaurant paid for the seafood tower, which was the least they could do, but literally the least. I think my meal should have been comped or I should have been given a gift card for a future visit. I certainly didn’t expect my whole $800 bill to be picked up, but a little more would have gone a long way to make up for me sitting wet and cold all night, even my pashmina was soaked, which was what I had brought to keep me warm in the chilly restaurant. We have had amazing experiences there and that is why there’s a chance I would return. On a previous visit, our side order of corn was late and the server comped it AND gave us a free dessert, which we thought was going over and above. This was definitely going under and below. The server we had last time, José, recognized us and came over and said hello and asked about our kids. If we ever return, he will be the reason why! THAT is an excellent server.

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.

My husband & I were gifted the experience of dining at the Oceanaire for his retirement, by some very dear friends. From appetizer to dessert our dinner was exceptional! Our server Heather (if i remember right) did an excellent job, which further added to our perfect evening. One of our best dinners ever!
