I had an absolutely amazing experience at Ocean 48 for a private dinner experience. Right from the entrance, you're greeted by hospitable staff members who show you to your reservation (they even guide you to the bathrooms!). There is ample seating inside the restaurant for private dinners as well as events. There is also plenty of parking as part of fashion island but they also have valet parking available. The staff were quick to get my order, which was the 3 course New York strip steak dinner. It began with some buttery and flaky bread, definitely rich but absolutely delicious. The calamari were fresh and succulent, and the Caesar salad was amazing (the croutons were delicious!). The New York strip was thick and cooked perfectly, and I love how it comes on a hot plate with the potatoes and sautéed broccoli. The hazelnut gelato was also decent. Overall, this is a great location for a nice dinner or date night! read more

Fantastic way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary! Beautiful restaurant and impeccable service. Everything we ate was delicious. The presentation was beautiful. Our favorites were the lobster appetizer and the dessert for our anniversary was delightful. read more

The food is delicious. I love their filet mignon as well as the seabass for the main courses. Their shells n cheese is so so delicious for any mac and cheese lover. We tried it with and without the crab and both were fabulous. The one with crab has nice big chunks too! We got their bone marrow and it was fantastic with the crostini bread it comes with--I'm not even a huge bone marrow fan! I wasn't a huge fan of their Brussels sprouts but their other veggies were delicious as well. The bread rolls they bring out are some of the best bread I've had at a restaurant! They bring them freshly baked and warm. Their vanilla cake dessert is also delicious. The service and ambiance were fabulous. read more

Had a date night with the wifey, we always go out to eat to restaurants. This was our first time here. Not only was the food great the ambience was great, but what made it the best was our server Omar. It wasn't just a transaction for him, but he made us feel at home. We will be coming back to visit him! read more

There is a reason that Ocean 48 is our favorite restaurant. They continually knock it out of the park with every aspect from the atmosphere that is chic and sophisticated to their food which is innovative, elevated and delicious to the service which is indulgent and gracious. We came for a date night last night while the kids had a babysitter. We dined again with Jason who recognized us which was fun! He is probably the best server we have had. We did need to change tables when we were first sat next to a large party with 3 kids who were not staying seated or quiet- as parents, when we are on a date night we prefer to have some quiet and romantic date time. It worked out because they did move us and then we got to have Jason as our server. I will try to remember next time when I make a reservation to put the request for the larger tables for two and quieter area. We tried two new things that Jason recommended and we were impressed with them. The branzino might have stolen the show it was so soft and flaky with the right amount of lemon sauce. The corn crème brûlée was the perfect accompaniment for the fish dishes - sweet yet savory. I've never had anything like it but I see why it is one of their best sellers. Can't wait to return again. read more

We made a reservation here to celebrate a bday and requested a table by the pool. We loved the open kitchen concept w the seafood display. Things we ordered: A5 wagyu appetizer - super delish and it just melts in your mouth but def on the pricey side. Saltspring island mussels - our entire party loved this dish. Dip the bread into the sauce!!! Hokkaido scallops - omg the crust on this was amazing. Their seafood is def a standout. Chilean sea bass - A MUST! Get the sauce it comes with. Bone in rib-eye - a solid steak. Def shareable. CORN CREME BRULEE - another must order. It was our fave side dish Sautéed mushrooms - also yum Things we would not order again - asparagus, caramel cake, beignets, savory fresh berries. read more

I went here for my birthday celebration with my boyfriend and it was one of the prettiest and unique restaurants I've ever been to! They are very accommodating and seated us at the poolside upon request when I made the reservation. Poolside seating is the way to go. We had to get the Dungeness crab cocktail and it was amazing! Portion was pretty good for two people. We also got the torched scallops with caviar and it was the perfect amount of caviar, although the sauce that came with it was quite strong. For our entrees, we got the salmon and Chilean sea bass. Definitely preferred the Chilean sea bass more, but the salmon was still cooked perfectly. Side of mushrooms was also delicious! Will definitely be back! read more

Oceans 48 is an experience. The restaurant is expansive, ornate, and beautiful, spanning multiple rooms and spaces all situated around an enormous glass enclosed kitchen complete with a seafood and gelato display. Adding to the ambiance is how different each room feels, one of the dining rooms has a pool in the center, another has a second bar, another is almost wholly consumed by the large main bar, another feels like it could be a private room. The different spaces are each enticing in their own way. The bathrooms are even a sight to see, with electronic toilets that greet you when entering, warm the seat, and have an automatic bidet. The service is tremendous and on par with Michelin restaurants. Our waitress was tremendous, being mindful of my allergies, celebrating my birthday (by comp'ing my dessert), and being attentive the whole night. Additionally, the restaurant called me the day after to thank me for dining there which I find pretty rare. Drinks were excellent. The golden manhattan was very good, and the recommended wines were delicious too. They also had delicious non-alcoholic drinks for my wife, who is pregnant. Food was modern steakhouse fare, but respectfully over the top. No steaks covered in gold, served by secret service (like Papi Steak), but a colossal bone marrow with flambé is available (and scrumptious!). The house rolls were delicious and addicting. The sides (we had mushrooms, mac and cheese, and potato au gratin). I loved the mushrooms and potatoes, and I appreciate they still prepare au gratin, as some other steakhouses are stopping (due to prep time). The steaks are diverse and delicious. I appreciate that they are served slightly under so that the heat of the plate continues to cook them. All in, Oceans is a scene, a vibe, an experience, and just an overall great restaurant. The prices are as high as any fine steakhouse, so expect 150-250pp. Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Drink: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Consistency: N/A read more

Splurge restaurant but amazing service and great quality food. My husband I came here for a reservation on a Sunday evening. There is valet or parking around fashion island. There was a butler who opened the door for us. We were seated near the pool area, pretty atmosphere with poppin music. For food they have various seafood and steak. I got the Chilean sea bass, my husband got the branzino. We also shared oysters, wild mushrooms, and the corn cream brûlée. Each table comes with warm complimentary bread. We also got the old fashion and white Negroni for drinks which were strong and refreshing. The Chilean sea bass was the star of the meal, so butter and well seasoned! Branzino was solid and good portion. Corn was rich and had a sweet brûlée crust. Oysters were fresh and came with 6 different sauces. The bathroom is bidet, which is the 1st in restaurants in the US. Since it was my birthday, got a complimentary dessert! The cookies and cream ice cream cake was huge! Very creamy and filling. Our server was friendly and came to check on us frequently. Overall an excellent experience. Would love to try the steak my next visit! read more

I was invited back by the general manager, Anthony, and I had such a great experience. I decided to try their seafood this time because I heard the branzino was amazing, and it truly was! The fish was cooked perfectly and seasoned well along with the asparagus and mashed potatoes. Everything was fresh and delicious. I tried their clam chowder too and I really liked the cheese toast they serve it with. Thanks again for the exceptional meal and caring about the guest's experience. read more

Dining at Ocean 48 was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance felt effortlessly elegant, dim lighting, a sophisticated crowd, and an atmosphere that made the entire evening feel special. The service was truly outstanding. Our server was incredibly attentive, kind, and knowledgeable, taking the time to walk us through the menu and offering thoughtful recommendations that elevated the entire experience. For dinner, I ordered the pepper-crusted Big Eye Tuna, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The tuna was perfectly prepared, tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh and balanced. We also shared a few sides, and each one was just as impressive. The wood-oven roasted cauliflower had the perfect char and depth of flavor, the crisp French fries were golden and addictive, and the Boursin whipped potatoes were unbelievably creamy and rich. For drinks, we ordered the Pomegranate Blood Orange Martini, which was easily one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time - refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Between the incredible food, beautifully crafted drinks, and the warm, attentive service, everything about the night felt elevated. Ocean 48 absolutely delivers on both quality and experience. It's the kind of place where the ambiance, flavors, and hospitality all come together to create a truly memorable evening. I can confidently say this is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. read more

Highly highly recommend for special occasions. Everything was magnificent. Food was all delicious. Usually there's at least one item that will disappoint, but everything was exceptional. Server (Hala) was very helpful, very nice, and added to the experience. The place itself was beautiful on the inside. They have a little swimming pool inside, and then we sat in a private whiskey room for our 5 year anniversary. One of the best dining experiences I've ever had read more

Finally made it to this place after having it on my list for way too long. Our server was sharp and genuinely knew the menu inside out. She made solid recommendations and was very sweet. We tried for a table by the pool, but unless you're a OC reality star or related to the GM, good luck. We got seated in the dining room instead. It worked, but let's just say the poolside envy was real. We ordered the steak that comes out on a 500 degree plate. The idea is great, the execution wasn't. It was supposed to be medium, came out medium well. Sent it back, and the second one showed up medium rare. Two tries, neither right. Luckily, Liz the manager stepped in, handled it with grace, and apologized profusely. The shishito peppers were the standout. Perfectly charred and seasoned. The cauliflower was fine but forgettable. Mashed potatoes were excellent. Creamy, flavorful, no notes. Drinks were balanced and well made. Dessert was solid too, with a rich chocolate center and a marshmallow element that was excellent. Overall, this place is great. The food has high points, especially the appetizers and drinks. Service was solid and handled the kitchen missteps with professionalism. read more

There's something for everyone here. Whether it's date night, girls night out, company dinners, I've been here for just about every occasion. I'm usually critical of these boujie restaurants but this one gets a 5 star for the food and the service. The seafood is fresh, steak is tender and juicy and medium rare just how I like. And the complimentary bread is DIVINE! I wish they'd sell that so I can just get it to go. The crowd is questionable though- full of IG influencers, wannabe models, and unnaturally tanned Botox people trying to get the perfect photo. The room with the mini pool is gorgeous if you can get a seat there. It's part of Fashion Island where the old Fig and Olive used to be. Plenty of parking. read more

One of My New Favorites in Orange County! I waited a bit to visit since they're a newer restaurant, and I'm so glad I finally did--this place is now one of my absolute favorites in OC! The restaurant itself is beautiful, and from the moment we pulled into the lot to the second we left, the service was flawless. Our server, Robert, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and very aware of my husband's food allergy. He offered thoughtful suggestions, which made us feel completely taken care of. We ordered quite a bit, and every single dish was spot on. We started with the shrimp--fresh and flavorful--followed by heirloom tomatoes with crab, which was a standout. The salads are generously portioned and perfect for sharing. For mains, we had the sea bass (incredible!) and the rib cap steak, which isn't even on the menu--highly recommend asking about it. Even the sides were excellent! This spot checks all the boxes: great food, top-notch service, and a stunning atmosphere. Can't wait to come back! read more

Can't help but leave a review for this place, we've been here at least five times in the past year already and have zero complaints! In fact, probably one of our top staple restaurants now. The bread is STELLAR, wish I could order more and bring it home to eat every day lol. The lobster tails are delectable (and enormous). Steak is good too but focus on seafood if you have limited stomach space. Can't wait for my next visit read more

I've dined here before and had better experiences. Today was my birthday and didn't have the best experience. Was hoping to sit in the main dining room and I asked the hostess and she was very rude and said no they were fully booked. She could've simply said what was the wait time for a table in the front of the room and I would've waited . Instead she was so rude didn't even offer another table . Where we sat was so dead and just not the best. There were even better tables in every other room. Was very sad be it was my birthday, not the best experience and will not be back . read more

A great seafood spot for a date night or girls' night out with friendly service, a wide variety of menu options and so many cute seating areas to choose from! We sat in the upper lounge which had some tight booth seats so be aware of that. I would have given 5 stars if I only ordered the following: king crab shells and cheese, hanging bacon, brussel sprouts, lobster escargot, Boursin cheese whipped potatoes, shrimp deviled eggs and lobster rolls. The mocktails are also winners. Had to take away one star for the expensive but underwhelming wood roasted seafood tower that wasn't even a tower, lol! I recommend going for their raw bar tower instead. I would also skip the torched scallop caviar and crab cakes (too wet). Their dessert was great and I can't wait to go back to do it right for a 5-star experience. read more

I'm so happy I decided to bring my mom here for Mother's Day!!! It's beyond elite with nothing but luxury vibes!! The food is also very good !! I ordered the crispy shrimp deviled eggs and fried lobster tails for appetizers. Also, Caesar salad that was topped with a poached egg!!! The appetizers were out of this world so darn good and it made me full!!! I would recommend these for the starters/ appetizers!! I promise you won't regret it !! For my entree I ordered the salmon and sautéed spinach for my side. The salmon was good, the spinach was just ok so I would say order the crème brûlée sweet corn, which my mom said was ridiculously good!!! Also they give rolls out for their bread and OMG I had to try a tiny piece it was so buttery and soft!! I had a glass of Prosecco and Chardonnay to pair with my fish and it was perfect!! The service was exceptional from the moment you enter. The male hostess outside takes pictures for you in front of their sign and open the door for you . Our server Julio was also amazing!! He made the experience very well and super accommodating for my mother's meal. He was patient and knew what were the best options to pick on the menu!!! I was so full that I couldn't par take in dessert!! But it's ok I will next time!! The menu looked good !! The decor and ambiance is bomb!! The open seafood showroom when you enter is spectacular!!! And cute...we got the pleasure to sit by the miniature inside pool which was absolutely gorgeous !! Never witnessed that in a restaurant and I have been to many elite steakhouses!! Loved that! It's perfect for many occasions and date night!!!! It's romantic and Insane ambiance. The seating is very cozy and I love that their tables are spacious!! Valet is only $10 but you can also park free in the lot. It's located in Fashion Island's shopping center so plenty parking in lot!! You have to try Ocean 48 it's a must experience !! It reminds me of Steak 48 but more upscale. I will be back soon!! read more

We did a birthday dinner and celebration at this restaurant. They have valet parking for $10 and a pool indoor. An upscale dining establishment with steak, seafood and other foods. They have many many wines and mixed drinks. From two guests to a dozen guests. The staff are great and are trained well. A few hundred bucks for food and drinks for two people. The food is good also. They charge $16 per person if you bring your own dessert or you can buy theirs. We had salad, clam chowder, Branzino and white wine. They have large sides that feed the entire table. We had spinach, cream corn, mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies. The biscuits were buttery and fresh and the Chicken Fried Lobster was crunchy and salty. The bathrooms had an attendant, And they had bidets on them, very classy. It takes a little time to eat during crowded times. Worth the wait and cost. At least once or twice. We will return soon. read more

This was my first time here at this restaurant, and it was incredible. My sister took me and my mom here for Mother's Day, and we had a blast. Everything we tried was good. We had fried lobster, salmon, deviled eggs, filet mignon steak, sautéed spinach, corn, baked potato, and cedar salad. Everything was so scrumptious. Our waiter, Julio, gave great customer service and went above and beyond his job duties. He was very accommodating, respectful, kind, sweet, and made good recommendations. He was also fun. The restaurant is modern and unbelievably gorgeous. They have a swimming pool in the center of the room where people eat. This restaurant is very elegant and upscale. I highly suggest this restaurant. If you're in the area of Newport Beach or shopping at the Fashion Island mall. Note: you can park in the parking lot yourself or you can pay for valet parking so it's up to you what you like to do. read more

Celebrated my 40th birthday here and so glad I did because service was top notch and food was perfectly executed. All the recommendations from our server exceeded our expectations. The complimentary addictive house rolls was SO good and buttery! Seriously would have been happy with just that alone! We ended up taking a whole box of freshly made ones to-go. We started off with the crispy shrimp deviled eggs, heirloom tomatoes w/ king crab and chicken fried lobster tails. For entrees I got recommended and off menu New York Gold ++ which was the most tender, melt-in-your mouth NY I've ever tasted! I'm usually a ribeye girl, and the NY tasted just like one w/out the extra fat. Our server was excellent and every entree was evenly spaced out. The restaurant was nice enough to store my birthday cake and let me know there would be a cake cutting fee, which I declined but did take it out for a few photos :) Ocean 48 was definitely a splurge for a very special occasion and I'm really happy how everything was just perfect! read more

Ocean 48 completely exceeded my expectations. This was my first time dining here, and from the moment we walked in, I was in awe. The entrance is stunning, with beautiful displays of fresh seafood right as you arrive, and the smell alone lets you know you're in for something special. I started with the cucumber basil vodka cocktail and the stone fruit martini--both were delicious, but the cucumber basil was definitely my favorite. We ordered oysters to begin, and they were incredibly fresh and flavorful, especially paired with all the sauces that came with them. The absolute standout of the night for me was the torched scallops with caviar. Hands down my favorite dish--truly divine and something I'm still thinking about. For my entrée, I ordered the sea bass and added a lobster tail, along with the shells & cheese (their mac and cheese) on the side. Everything was perfectly cooked and incredibly satisfying. My boyfriend ordered the T-bone steak with potatoes, which he loved. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful and classy touch. Overall, 10 out of 10 experience. The food was amazing, the service was friendly and on point, and the entire atmosphere felt special. I can't wait to come back--and I'll definitely be ordering the lobster tail and those torched scallops again. Highly recommend! read more

made a reservation online & dined here on thanksgiving with my fiance. we had an amazing experience! Zander was our server and he was awesome, super attentive and gave us great recommendations for food and wine to start we ordered the calamari & shrimp and a dozen oysters + a few glasses of wine and ofc the free bread the free bread is SO GOOD?? like idk what it reminds me of but it's like a croissant/biscuit hybrid?? absolutely fantastic, we had to stop ourselves from over indulging.. calamari and shrimp were great, lots of flavor on the batter; almost tastes like fried chicken xD the dozen oysters were so beautiful, i devoured those babies so fast especially with all the sexy fixins they provided for our entrees, i got the wood roasted shellfish tower and my fiance got the 45 day dry aged ribeye + mac n cheese, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes the wood roasted shellfish tower wasn't anything like what i expected. it wasn't a seafood tower on ice like other places, it was a bunch of different shellfish cooked in a buttery tomato sauce served with crispy bread. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND SO DELICIOUS. every single piece of shellfish was so juicy and yummy the dry aged rib eye was soooo good too, so juicy and tender. they even cut it for us which made it so much easier to enjoy. all the sides were super tasty too, came out piping hot so we burnt our mouths a bit but so worth highly highly recommend Ocean 48 to anyone who wants high quality service & food. seriously one of the best dining experiences i've had in a while, and even more so because they gave us free dessert which was the perfect sweet ending read more

Beautiful restaurant in Newport Beach at Fashion Island. The food is good but prices are higher than normal for a steak and seafood place in Orange County. Corkage alone is $80 per. They are a bit pretentious for my taste. You can't just walk in and sit at the bar; you have to get permission. There is a smaller bar in the back that is said to be exclusive but we were able to sit there the second time we went because the front bar was packed. Its food and selections are on par with Mastro's in Costa Mesa and Newport Coast so I'll just go there instead and save a little money. BUT, it is a beautiful place! They have valet parking but you can also park in the mall parking lot. read more
