Kimchi vinaigrette. Great! Highly recommend! Taverna Oceana is a place I would absolutely return to. If you go I hope Rachel is at the bar and Lee shucks your oysters. They are what make the place!

From the service to the ambiance to the food...incredible!! We started with the lobster burrata, it wasso fresh and delicious! We savored every bite. Then we selected the loaded tots and the Wagyu sliders. Both were fantastic! The tots with the roe had a lot of flavor and were not too fried. The sliders were very tender burgers, with wonderful flavor. We polished off our evening with another glass of champs & the crème brûlée...the perfect ending to a perfect meal!! Highly recommend the burrata, tots and sliders! We loved them all! Our server was incredible! I believe his name was Bradley, but I know his last name started with a Z...so to Mr Z, thank you for your proactive and efficient service!

I didn't realize that it also included hush puppies and coleslaw, but that was a bonus. Everything was delicious! I was blown away by the care they took in packaging and presentation.

I will definitely add this restaurant to my "go-to list." Go check them out!

So it's good but stingy, this cost $10 with no fries. I don't think the food cost of fries that…read morethey probably will waste is worth not earning a returning customer.

Pair it with the crème fraîche on either the toasted bread or the chips, and muah perfection! Personally, I preferred it with the chips since I found the toasted bread a little too salty. * The Tuna Carpaccio was a surprising 10/10. We sliced it into strips, making sure each bite had the comb crisps, basil aioli, yuzu aioli, Florida sterlet caviar, micro arugula, and mushrooms. Oh my god! the flavors were incredible. The tuna made each bite light and refreshing, while all the other ingredients layered together beautifully, revealing new flavors as you kept chewing. * The oysters were another 10/10. They were incredibly fresh, and pairing them with the sorbet created such a refreshing combination. The kimchi dropper was just okay, I was hoping for more heat. The mignonette dropper, though, was absolutely delicious and complemented the oysters perfectly. * The Charred Octopus gets a 9/10. The octopus was wonderfully tender, but I wished the chorizo flavor came through more. The fregola was fantastic, it was satisfying and filling without feeling too heavy. * The Mussels Frites earns an 8/10. The fries were perfectly seasoned and honestly one of my favorite parts of the dish. The mussels were good, but like the octopus, I expected a stronger chorizo flavor. * The Burgundy Escargot is a solid 10/10. Absolutely delicious! The rich bone marrow melted in your mouth, and it paired so well with the escargot. Such a creative combination that worked beautifully. * The outdoor seating was wonderful! Even though it was raining, it was still very comfortable thanks to the fans nearby, so it never felt hot or humid. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxing, making it the perfect spot for a romantic date night, a special birthday celebration, or any gathering with family and friends. The overall vibe made the experience even more memorable. Lastly, a special shout-out to our server, Colette! She was wonderful from start to finish! She was always cheerful, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She took the time to explain the dishes, answered all of our questions with a smile, and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable.

It felt like I was chewing a tough rubber band 4) Fries- were Fried to perfection 5) Cole Slaw- normally a 10 out of 10 but today it was a miss. It was dry and under seasoned.

The FGT were ok and a bit under seasoned, but the flounder and that sauce were great! Silky, creamy and tender! Our server was very kind and checked on us without hovering. Charity was helpful in offering suggestions, as well. Over all it was fun, good company and food.

The food, the service, the romantic atmosphere they never miss. First off, Faith is MY GIRL She's amazing and always takes such good care of us. This visit we did the caviar service and oysters from Washington and YUMMM. So fresh! I also really loved that they sell Veuve Clicquot by the glass instead of only by the bottle you honestly rarely see that and I thought it was such a nice touch. For dinner, I had the Chilean sea bass with risotto and OMG... I LOVE risotto and this dish was everything. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, comforting, just sooo good. For dessert we had the banana foster with an espresso martini and it was the perfect ending to dinner.

All our main entrees were loaded with salt. 1)- NY strip with shrimp and an order of sautéed spinach... the steak cooked perfect and tasty.
