Amazing food, beautiful décor, and such a thoughtfully designed seating area! The manager, Rodrigo, is truly the best, he leads his team with professionalism and genuine kindness. From the warm welcome at the door to the cooks in the back, every staff member delivered outstanding service. The food was incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely recommend Ocean 48 to all my friends and family! 😀

Ocean 48 – Where Every Guest Feels Truly Special This restaurant truly stands apart from many others in Orange County. There’s a certain standard of hospitality here that you usually only find in top-tier fine dining. Everything feels exactly where it should be, and every guest is treated like they’re part of something special — as if the restaurant was waiting just for them. At Ocean 48, I’ve always had exceptional meals. This time, we started with the Crispy Shrimp appetizer — perfectly golden and delicious. For the main course, we ordered the 22 oz Ribeye Steak and Filet Mignon. I usually prefer my steak well-done, which most places overcook or dry out, but here they mastered it — tender, juicy, and melting in your mouth. We also had the Branzino, with a beautifully crispy skin and delicate, flavorful interior — exactly what you hope for in a perfectly cooked fish. The fresh seafood display and the beautiful pond centerpiece inside the restaurant create a refreshing, elegant atmosphere. It’s not just a meal here; it’s a complete experience. Honestly, what more could you ask from a restaurant? Amazing food, flawless service, and an atmosphere that makes you happy every time you walk in. Ocean 48 is the kind of place you’ll always want to come back to.

We were greeted by friendly doorman who kindly offered to take our picture in front of the restaurant sign. My fiance and I were dressed to impress so it was appropriate for us to capture a photo for our memories. We were here to celebrate a lifetime achievement for her and overall our dining experience was superb as the staff are super friendly and professional. We had several dishes including some oysters, a single jumbo shrimp, some scallops with caviar, two lobster tails, pork chops, a giant baked potato, sauteed mushrooms, shells and cheese, and beignets to go. The food was delicious which is an understatesment and the service was impeccable. I have a few gripes which I'll get to in detail but overall the restaurant offers a five-star dining experience. My first gripe is the dress code and although I like that there is a dress code, there were many guests that did not dress appropriately to my standards and arrived in shorts for example. I criticized the male patrons because I was wearing pressed pants, a French cuff shirt, and a Navy sport jacket with pocket square. My second complaint is minor but a keen detail for when lemon slices or lemon is served. Basically, the lemons could be deseeded or placed in a lemon net and this small detail is what separates a fine dining experience apart from a finer dining experience. Unfortunately all lemons served here were not de-seeded or covered. Lastly, we were served a very small oyster in comparison to the other oysters we received. I reported this issue to our server and she corrected it immediately. A manager even came over to apologize which I greatly appreciated. All of my gripes and issues did not prevent me from rating this place with all five stars and all the stars are well deserved. Since we were celebrating we received a complimentary beignet dessert as well as some brownie textured powdered sugar cookies at the end of our meal. We also had cocktails with our dinner and all I could remember was that they were strong and the ice was stamped with the Ocean 48 logo. Overall I highly recommend this place for a celebratory dinner and if you dare to impress your taste buds with some of the best tasting dishes of its kind.

This is a story about a high end restaurant who serves an end piece filet mignon on our 42nd anniversary. Our company use steakhouse for Christmas party and I was hoping this place is good and we can use for next party — but we are probably going to stick with Ruth’s Chris. I’ve had a A5 wagyu in Japan but I wasn’t expecting that but I wasn’t expecting Ocean48 would serve me an end piece for my filet mignon. Aren’t they embarrassed serving customer this?!? End piece also had hard part… my husband asked he would switch with mine but this was his first steak since he got sick and I didn’t want to ruin it for him. Over all food was really good but the unprofessional attitude and the lack of integrity was all over the steak. Our server David was truly amazing and we at least had an experience (besides steak). 3stars are for David really. Bathroom: they wave washlett (clean your back side with water) but I am not a fan of sharing toilet with gentlemen. I had to use after a guy and —-let me just say I had to clean the toilet before I use it. There was a girl who does cleaning but one person can only do so much. Bathroom counter was all wet and yeah Dress code: it’s like a law- if you are not gonna enforce, it’s useless. I had a dress on but a woman in front of me had a bike shorts and a tank top. 🙄 My husband got healthier and finally be able to eat steak so I didn’t want to make a scene and didn’t say anything but—Ocean 48 your chief’s decision truly disappointed us.

Had dinner at Ocean 48 and honestly, it did not disappoint. Had some caviar, branzino , dessert —the caviar was perfff, fresh and perfectly prepared. The drinks were strong but smooth, and the overall vibe was classy. Service was attentive, and everything felt well-paced. Definitely a great spot if you’re in the mood to treat yourself or impress a date. I’ll be back.
