We used to eat at Oceano frequently. But Christmas Eve 2011, we were highly disappointed & offended. The service was terrible. They took forever to bring our food. When we did receive it some was not cooked as requested, but we didn't send it back because we were starving. When the manager came by to ask how our meal was,... More

I'm a sucker for great, fresh seafood which is tuff to find in the midwest but Oceano always has the freshest. Menu is not that long but lots to choose from. Servings aren't too large which is nice. Rolls are warm and they keep them coming. Service has always been prompted without being intrusive. Great prices/deals on happy hour in... More

The atmosphere was casual for being such a delicious and artfully prepared meal. For our entrees, we had sea bass and scallops... both were wonderful. Also had crab cakes for appetizer, which were lovely. It was a perfect meal and evening out, and I believe the cost was less than $100 for two of us.

I went for lunch with a family friend. As a vegetarian, I was nervous about the menu (I don't eat seafood.) I got a salmon salad without the salmon because I saw that it had roasted beets, which I love. When it came, it was a mound of spinach with three small one inch pieces of beets, and a tiny... More

In the heart of Clayton Oceano stands out as a terrific place for drinks and appetizers or a full lunch or dinner. The food is consistently very good and prices are competitive. The atmosphere is one of energy with the decor being on the modern side. Great place for a business meeting or a date.

Seafood is always fresh and amazing. Salads are delicious. Service is impeccable. Wines are superb. Love this place and every time I go there I always wonder why I do not go there more often. You should go there more often too.

This restaurant consistently delivers a great meal at a reasonable price, considering the quality. Along with the food, the atmosphere and service are superb! Their brunch is also worth the visit. I'd recommend their salmon, scallops and sea bass. All expertly prepared. Their wine list is also interesting with a good price range. And their desserts are fantastic.

this is our neighborhood go-to place, always have great dinners. We have a frequent diner card, and have used it several times. The appetizers can be combined for a dinner, as it's too difficult to choose just one. But, the main dishes also have consistently been well-prepared. I have had just about all items on the menu and loved all... More
