Visiting Oceanic was a mixed bag of beautiful views and some culinary hits and misses. The setting is undeniably picturesque, perfect for enjoying a sea breeze while dining. The shrimp taco stood out as a highlight, boasting a delightful texture and enhanced by a hint of mango, making it the best I've ever had. However, not all dishes hit the mark; while the crab dip received high praises from fellow diners, the Crème Brûlée was a letdown, tasting oddly of lighter fluid.
Service was a bit of a rollercoaster. While the staff was generally friendly and knowledgeable, there were noticeable delays. Waiting over 10 minutes to be acknowledged and similar waits for drinks can detract from the experience, despite the staff's apologies and friendly demeanor. Dining outside brought its own set of challenges, with wind and pigeons occasionally disrupting the meal.
Despite these hiccups, Oceanic has potential, especially if you're there for the view and some select standout dishes. Just be sure to specify your drink orders clearly to avoid any mix-ups on your bill. The ambiance and setting are perfect for those looking to enjoy a meal by the sea, though choosing to sit inside might shield you from some of the elements.
