Reviews
The service felt genuinely personal and conversational, creating a welcoming atmosphere that balanced professionalism with warmth. Each dish demonstrated careful preparation and thoughtful presentation, justifying the upscale positioning.
For a first-day launch, Oceana delivered an impressive brunch experience that feels both refined and approachable. Worth the splurge for a special occasion or when you want brunch elevated beyond the ordinary.
Okay, now the food! it was a worldly experience! Not only did I have Canadian oysters, but I had Mass (west coast) oysters, I had Washington (east coast) oysters! I had Vietnamese style Seafood stew! Korean cucumber kimchi!
Don’t sleep on this place! Go! Try it! Enjoy it! If you are a foodie, if you like cocktails and wine! This is a place you do not want to miss out on!
They have many gluten-free meals so we all can enjoy them! I loved beef carpaccio!! If you like meat, you must try this super fresh high quality raw meat. Oh and they use fresh seafood = RAW OYSTER BAR
They have a beautiful private room and it’s perfect for Christmas gatherings, business meetings, showers, and birthday parties, yet elegant enough for a seated dinner party.
Great for girls’ night or a date night
We tried several dishes, and each was incredible in its own way.
Oceana also offers delicious handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, making it a great spot for the whole family. We especially appreciated the large variety of gluten-free options.
The restaurant layout is another highlight. You can enjoy your meal on the outdoor patio, in the indoor dining area, at the bar, or at the oyster bar. They also have a beautiful private room, perfect for group gatherings.
What We Tried
– Blood Orange Margarita
– Classic Martini
– Kimchi Brussels Sprouts
– Oysters
– Tuna Poke
– Insalata di Mare
– Lobster Burrata
– Caviar Service
In our opinion they have the:
⭐ Best oysters in Jacksonville
⭐ Best Brussels sprouts in Jacksonville
A special shoutout to Mathew, who provided us with outstanding service. He knew the menu inside and out and gave us excellent recommendations.
We’ve already RSVP’d for our next visit—I can’t wait to try the mussels and clams dish!

First up, I ordered the Kimchi Brussels Sprouts, and wow—who knew Brussels Sprouts could have a glow-up like that? I also went in hard on the fresh oysters (yes, two orders, because restraint is overrated). The shark bites were my favorite—I assume named for their bite-sized deliciousness, not an actual shark encounter.
Then came the famous Truffle Fries because, let’s be real, you can’t not order them. They were so good I briefly considered writing them a love letter.
For drinks, I kicked things off with a Strawberry Lemon Drop—sweet, tangy, and just the right level of “this will sneak up on you.” Once that was gone (RIP), I moved on to a Strawberry Margarita, because when in doubt, double down on strawberries.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. We asked about oyster shooters, and while they weren’t on the menu, our waiter—who deserves a raise, a medal, or both—went rogue and made us some with Bloody Mary mix and vodka. Different? Yes. Unexpected? Also yes. But you’ve got to respect the effort, and for that, I give it an A+ for innovation and a solid B for “this is definitely an acquired taste.”
Meanwhile, my friend tried the crab legs and gazpacho soup and declared both “amazing,” so it’s safe to say she was equally living her best life.
All in all, this was exactly the kind of Happy Hour my soul (and stomach) needed. I’ll definitely be back—possibly just for the fries and some more of those rogue oyster shooters.
The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet yet comfortable enough to welcome you without reservations or over the top dress code.
The food however was the real star. From the kimchi brussel sprouts and the ceviche tostada to the grilled oysters, and finally, the hanger steak with Bordelaise sauce the dishes were prepared well.
My only hang up, that keeps this from being a five, is the hanger steak was cut with the grain of meat making one of my favorite cuts rediculously chewy. A nearly unpardonable sin for meat eaters, yet easily correctable. It also could have used a bit more seasoning. We noted to the manager on duty, he apologized and thanked us for the feedback. Or maybe the lesson here is just don’t order steak in a place that says they specialize in seafood? But, I refuse to believe these people are incapable of excellence in all areas.
All in all I would definitely eat here again because every other item we ordered was so spot on and so delicious that it had his grinning from ear-to-ear throughout the meal.
