The Best Seafood Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"The notable Mastro brothers specialize in high-end dining experiences, with their Steak 48 restaurants dotted across the country. Ocean 44 is currently their only seafood location; it is not unusual to dine among pro athletes and other local celebrities on any given night here. The offerings are decadent, from Maine lobster escargot topped with caviar to a side of New Bedford sea scallop gnocchi, in addition to entrees like whole jumbo Alaskan king crab legs. Don’t skip the dessert menu, which contains enough variety to satisfy any sweet tooth: standouts include the vanilla caramel cake with pecans or the triple-layer Key lime pie." - Asonta Benetti

Ocean 44 - Review - Fashion Square - Scottsdale - The Infatuation

"Ocean 44 is the final boss of dining out in Scottsdale: white tablecloths, expertly seared steaks, and bourbon that’ll make your wallet sweat. This seafood and steakhouse is where you should celebrate landing a big deal or to impress someone who knows their way around a wine list—consider it the War and Peace of fine vino. Ocean 44 doesn’t do small. The steakhouse meatballs are as big as baseballs (your choice of three or more) and the crispy shrimp deviled eggs are so loaded you’ll need to attack them in two bites. The chilled silverware for your BLT wedge salad and table towel service that arrives after the medium bone-in filet are just subtle reminders that you’re in the bigs now. So throw on a collared shirt, silence your notifications, and maybe even spring for an Uber Black." - Lauren Topor

This is my second time to Ocean 44. Love the place! We ordered chicken fried lobster for our appetizer and we loved it! Never thought fried lobster tails could be so good. Very crispy and flavorful. For entrees we ordered sea bass and sea scallops with crab Mac and cheese and asparagus on the side. The sides were definitely shareable and entrees were a good portion. The scallops were one of the best I’ve ever had. Very buttery texture. The sea bass was also great! For dessert we had the ultimate warm vanilla caramel cake. It was the perfect ending to the meal. Service was great, our waiter suggested a few great dishes to us and we enjoyed it. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. I like the open kitchen view. There’s also complimentary valet parking.

5 Stars – An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Ocean 44 From the moment you step into Ocean 44, you know you’re in for something special. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with a sleek, modern design that perfectly complements its high-end seafood and steak offerings. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a night out, Ocean 44 delivers on every level. The service is top-tier—professional, attentive, and genuinely warm. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide us to the perfect selections. The seafood is the star here—exceptionally fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The lobster and oysters were absolute standouts, and the Chilean sea bass was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. If you’re a steak lover, you won’t be disappointed either—the filet was flawlessly cooked and seasoned. Their wine and cocktail list is extensive, curated to complement the menu with precision. Don't skip dessert either; the butter cake is legendary and worth every bite. Ocean 44 is not just a meal—it’s a full sensory experience. It’s upscale dining done right, and easily one of the best restaurants in Scottsdale.

My wife and I went here for our 12 year anniversary. We started with Crispy Shrimp Deviled Eggs and then shared a Basil + Herb rubbed Arctic Char, accompanied with Whipped Praline Sweet Potatoes, and Roasted Brussel Sprouts. The food and service was spectacular. Our only letdown on the visit was that our Mastercard Gift Card our parents bought us to go out and have a nice dinner with didn’t work. Apparently their PoS system only accepts cards with a chip, so we ended up having to pay out of pocket.

Phenomenal service. Food was 10/10, if not higher. I recommend the deviled eggs for an appetizer. The corn creme brulee was delicious. We took a peanut butter pie to go and was wonderful. They even called a day later to see how everything went. This wasn't a special occasion per se but they still made it feel like one. Please try this place, you will be extremely happy with your decision.

Ocean 44 does it right. Outstanding food, drinks, and service. This is one of the best restaurants anywhere. It has a seafood name, but the steaks and other dishes are superb as well. The seafood is displayed in a large case by the kitchen so you can know what you are getting before you decide on it. The restaurants cares about the details, ingredients, food quality, and customer experience. The atmosphere is generally lively and a fine dining experience can be had in either the main bar area or one of several dining rooms. I ordered the king crab, which is hard to mess up. A nice presentation and it came chilled at my preference. The sautéed sweet corn side had a unique spin. The corn was fresh and mixed with some cilantro and parsley. The corn had a refreshing taste with a blend of sweetness and zest. The asparagus side was good kept simple. They didn’t ruin it by over complicating things. Just some fresh looking asparagus steamed to the right softness. The bartenders are friendly, professional, and possess mixology skill. I have never had a bad experience here. The prices are on the high end, but match the top level service and food.

Another amazing meal. I love this place. It's a big restaurant with 2 large bars, several rooms, the vibe is incredible. The raw bar is impressive. The food is always consistent n out of this world. Shout out to Amanda as my friend flew in from out of town and we dined late. We kept her until after midnight and she kept a pleasant attitude. The Australian wagyu beef steak ruined my love for the everyday filet.... And the key lime pie was simply divine.

My husband took me here for my birthday and it was the most amazing dining experience. Staff from hostess to services were professional and you could tell they truly love their job. What I notice first is while it is a seafood restaurant and did not have the typical fish smell, everything is was so clean and organized. Most importantly the food was amazing, considering it being a busy Saturday evening we didn’t have to wait long. I also loved that in the entrance you could see the cooks working.

Thank you Brian, one of the manager's at Ocean for always making our experience memorable, comfortable and delicious. We cannot speak highly enough of Brian- he's incredibly amiable, attentive to detail, and the epitome/benchmark for which hospitality management should be compared to. Ocean44 is lucky to have someone like this representing their brand. As always we will be returning in the future. Thanks again for a wonderful night

I decided to take myself for a solo birthday dinner. It was an awesome experience. Eveyone was so nice. I did not feel like I was alone. Several people from the staff stopped by my table to chat and give me birthday wishes. My server Kale was amazing, attentive, and quite accomadating. I loved the experience and can't wait to go back!!!

A great upscale restaurant for special occasions, celebrations, business meals, or just a really nice dinner for the heck of it. After having had great dining experiences at the sister restaurants for past special occasions, we knew we had to try out Ocean 44 also. Service from start to finish was friendly, attentive and overall phenomenal. The table was always clean, and our glasses were never empty. Drinks and bread service were brought to us in a timely manner, followed by an appetizer of the New England lobster rolls. The lobster rolls were buttered to perfection, simple but classic. For our main entrees, we got the bone in ribeye, and the filet mignon, with a side of the shrimp risotto. Both of our steaks were cooked to medium rare perfection. However, the shrimp risotto was a bit underwhelming for us unfortunately. The ambience is classy and quite spacious, with elegant and modern décor throughout with surprisingly lots of natural lighting filtering in if you come early enough before the sun sets. Reservations are highly recommended. Our reservations were for around 5:00 pm on a Wednesday night and they were already quite full when we arrived.

This review is LONG overdue!!! Over the years I've had nothing but bad experiences here. And because of the reputation of its sister restaurants I always go back thinking maybe last time was a fluke. It's never been a fluke. I'm so done with this place. I've gotten food poisoning from the oysters here twice. After calling the restaurant the following day (while sick) to report the food poisoning all I got both times was a shrug and told maybe it was something else I ate. The drinks just suck. They're watered down and missing necessary ingredients. A canned espresso martini is better than this place. Do us all a favor and start using Liquor 43 and it might be worth the $22 you charge. Their chef should be arrested. My most recent visit was this past Saturday. I ordered the $62 Chilean sea bass; a beautiful flakey, sweet, buttery, and tender fish completely ruined because for some reason this genus criminal decided that he would "elevate" the fish by abandoning the standard miso glaze and instead ruin it by giving it a lemon pepper crust. Because a mouth full of burnt lemon pepper is what people want when they order a mild buttery sea bass. Last Saturday my table also ordered the crab and shrimp mashed potatoes. We only had 1 bite and then I took the leftovers home, where I realized they charged us for what we ordered yet they gave us their standard mashed potatoes. Delightful. The only positive is that it's a large space with a lot of tables and different rooms which can give you the feeling of privacy. I've also never struggled to get a reservation here which and be a pro or con depending on who you are. Either way I've finally learned my lesson

Upscale restaurant and loved the experience. Took my wife there for her birthday night dinner. Overall I would recommend this place if expense is not a thing for you. Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: Everything tastes premium and upscale as the restaurant is. Serrver explained everything and was very welcoming. We tried 2 appetizers and entrees along with desserts which eventually were not billed and complementary on the house for the birthday night. Service: It was a very quick service from order to the table and loved it. Everyone is welcoming too. Ambiance: Great classy interior with multi-tier seating. Huge area and some unique shows of decor inside. Price: We ended up spending $300 for 2 adults and a kid here. It is upscale and so do the prices. It is not a place to go every day but for special occasions, these are some of the good options in the valley especially if you are into seafood. I would not go here every day but wouldn't mind being here on special occasions.

We had an incredible experience celebrating our anniversary at Ocean 44. We were seated and there was a card congratulating us on our anniversary. Cameron, our server, was simply outstanding. We were never left unattended and he immediately asked if there were any allergies. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and the wine. His assistant serving staff were also excellent and extremely friendly. Bread service and cocktails were brought out followed by our appetizer, oysters at gratin. Absolutely delicious. I chose the filet and my husband chose the Chilean sea bass. Both were cooked perfectly. For sides we chose the au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach and artichoke. Outstanding. We were even treated to a glass of champagne for our anniversary. The evening couldn't have been more perfect thanks to Cameron and the staff. The restaurant was packed, however, the noise level was fine. We thoroughly enjoyed our night.

This place is elite. From the restaurant design to the service to the food. It's a little loud inside when busy but it is a really cool vibe. They bring fresh baked bread out. Has the Waygu Tartar as an app, that was delicious. The menu has a little bit of everything on it. We had crab legs and Sea Bass - the halibut portion was huge. Had the potatoes au gratin as a side as well as the Brussels sprouts. It was all phenomenal. They constantly make sure your drinks are full and the waiter (Michael) was incredibly knowledgeable. Would recommend for any occasion. Reasonably priced and with the service it's a rare 5 star.

Came here for a friend's birthday while we were in town visiting from Kansas City. This place was ON POINT. Service was amazing and the food was to die for. My group shared a number of dishes and every single thing we had was delicious. They even brought out 2 desserts, including a beignet tree for the birthday girl. So thoughtful and kind. Cant wait to go back on our next visit!

If you watch my page and know that this is one of my favorite restaurants as always, everything was great. Our service was A-1 as always. We had a reservation at five. They said it exactly at five in great seats. Great atmosphere great music. They do have a lot of new items on the menu to choose from they also did take a couple of my favorites off for the season and I hope they're coming back soon such as the short rib, macaroni, and cheese, which if I had a vote ( which I don't ) it would never ever ever ever come off the menu but the new shells and cheese were pretty good as well. You can never go wrong with visiting here. I had the butchers cut. It was perfect. It melted in my mouth as always, never disappointed. Thanks for always being consistent. Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Management 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Parking 5/5 Location 5/5 Return Factor- ABSOLUTELY

It's always a great experience when dining at Ocean. We celebrated my little cousin's dinner here on Saturday. The service was fantastic as always and the food was delicious. The server was amazing and great working with the group on separating the checks. I know how much of a pain that can be. Really a great place just to have dinner alone or to celebrate something special.

This is definitely my favorite restaurant. It's beautiful, clean, and the staff is amazing. Their off the menu wagyu is the best. Everything I've ordered is delicious - from their starter bread that is buttery and flakey, lobster rolls, superfood salad...I'm salivating as I'm typing this review. I'm finally putting an overdue review - but want thank Ocean 44 for making me and my husband's 5th year wedding anniversary a quaint celebration.

Definitely make reservations especially if it's for something like an early Valentine's Day dinner. We made reservations about a month ago and a lot of times were taken so probably make reservations earlier than a month out. Anyways, we came here for an early Valentine's Day dinner and used their complimentary valet parking. We went inside and we're seated immediately due to our reservation. This restaurant looked nice inside and there were a lot of people at 5pm. The lighting was low so it might be hard to read the menu. Our waitress was nice and gave us our menus. There was a lot of choices on the menu for seafood and steak. We ordered a dozen oysters (half were kumamoto and the other half were the east coast ones but I forgot the name), the Pacific Yellowtail Hamachi, the New Bedford Sea Scallops, the 45 Day Dry Aged Bone-in Ribeye, the Shells and Cheese, and the Roasted Brussel Sprouts. We also ordered the Mango Habanero and the Strawberry Rhubarb for drinks. The Mango Habanero was spicy to me and the Strawberry Rhubarb was not bad to me. The bread looked like cinnamon roll shaped bread and was good. The oysters was good with the sauces and the Pacific Yellowtail Hamachi were good as well. The New Bedford Sea Scallops were okay to me but the 45 Day Dry Aged Bone-in Ribeye was delicious. The Shells and Cheese were good and the Roasted Brussel Sprouts were also good. Overall, everything was good for the first experience here and would recommend it.

When my parents came to visit for the holidays, my dad surprised us with a reservation to Ocean 44. Since he made it later, our original reservation was for 8:45 PM. We called a little earlier in the evening and they let us come early at around 8, which was amazing because we were starving!!! The meal starts off with a delicious buttery croissant bread - not sure how to describe it but it was so unique and just melts in your mouth. We ordered some starters because we were starving: the calamari and shrimp and heirloom tomato and king crab. While the calamari and shrimp were delicious, they weren't anything special to me. I would recommend the tomato and crab - such a delicate course but some really well and highlighted the crab perfectly - nothing overpowered the flavor. My dad also ordered the clam chowder, which he said was very tasty as well. Everyone enjoyed their main dish as well. I ordered the arctic char - I didn't know what type of fish it was, but it tasted similar to salmon. The herb run on it was delicious. The steaks were cooked well and I got to try the mussels - they had great flavor. Overall, we had a great time! Obviously, it was a pricey meal, but we all felt it was worth it!

Twice visited and love it as much the second time as the first. Never noticed any service problems as some have mentioned earlier in both visits. Great appetizers , great meal( Chilean Sea-bass) and loved the ambience and vibe. Intend to return soon after when I return in the fall. My wife agrees on all accounts.

Beautiful interior! I was in love with how they decorated the place and it was very spacious. Definitely a place to go for celebrations, date nights, or a treat your self. They start off with complimentary bread. The bread was flaky and delicious. We got the NY Strip 16 oz. We asked them to split it and it doesn't look big when it arrived, but it was very filling. The plates come hot so you can cut the piece of meat and heat it up on the plate if the meat is too rare. The sides are shareable portions. We got the Chef's Siegfried's Au Gratin Potatoes. It was very tasty, but heavy so definitely shareable with the table so that everyone can try it. The superfood salad was refreshing with the fruits and the champagne fig dressing. Service was great. The only issue we had was someone in our party got the mussels and it was sadly not good at all. There were lots of small shells. It's not very appetizing to be biting into the mussels and you just see all these small shells. The taste was off too. It seems overcooked or not much effort was put into it. I will definitely recommend the steaks here!

Great aesthetic here. The dining area is well decorated and you can view all the seafood and preparation when you walk in. We shared crispy shrimp and the lobster escargot for appetizers. The lobster escargot was my favorite thing here. I had the tuna for my entree and loved it. It was perfectly cooked. My husband ordered a steak here and devoured it. They also let you select the free dessert you would like for your birthday. Would definitely come back!

I have been dying to try out Ocean 44 and I popped in on a Sunday night with no reservation. The host team was able to accommodate my party of two in the high top cocktail lounge. Eliana was our server and she was spectacular. This was my first time visiting Ocean and she gave us lots of recommendations. She first started with wine, cocktails then appetizers. I went with the strawberry rhubarb cocktail she recommended which was a great starter. We also ordered with a dozen oysters which even though were a little small, were very flavorful. For dinner we ordered the bone in filet ($76) cooked medium rare, mushrooms and mac and cheese. The steak also came out on a very hot plate which was cooked to perfection and was also sliced so that we could split it. After dinner, I ordered the California citrus cocktail recommended by our server and it was very flavorful. We wanted to finish with dessert but were way too full. Eliana brought out a complimentary cookie for us which was delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the seafood options. The food was very tasty, I enjoyed the mac and cheese the most. Our service was excellent, Eliana was very attentive and knowledgeable with the menu. If you go here ask for her she is amazing!

Lives up to -most of the- High Expectations There aren't many restaurants that compete at the highest, most premium level. The 44 brand is certainly one to go to for special occasions. They're almost always busy during evenings, with folks coming from all over to celebrate. The food is on point and the steak is absolutely fire. However, seafood appears hit or miss and was well below expectations for a premium restaurant. The good: Service was great and very attentive. I noticed that they kept everyone well hydrated and were frequently replenishing alcohol and water. They were quick to offer extra utensils and plates, when needed. The steak is their speciality and medium rare was cooked to perfection. The bad: Despite holding the Ocean, seafood speciality, our friend received a mussle dish that was way over cooked. The meat was chewy and the shells were brittle. Small pieces were broken and made a simple dish indedible. The server & kitchen were willing to make things right, but waiting an additional half an hour for the main course, it's past recovering unfortunately. The Order: 5/5 Superfood salad 5/5, sizable and good enough to share between two 5/5 NY Strip 16 oz - about a 2.5 in thick cut about the size of my palm 4/5 Au Gratin Potatoes - very good scalloped potatoes, but perhaps overflowing with too much cheese Nonetheless, the restaurant experience was and I definitely see myself returning for special occasions.

Wowza! Pre dinner dirty martini (extra dirty) at the bar - refreshingly delicious! Fresh warm croissant - scrumptious! Clam chowder - creamy and flavorful! Chilean sea bass with creme brulè corn and shrimp risotto - OMG!!! Crab cakes with creme brulè corn and shrimp risotto - outstanding! Warm vanilla Carmel cake with ice cream (compliments of the manager) - great way to end an amazing dinner experience. The entire staff was very welcoming and very friendly. The service was so good we felt like they were catering to us - Steve, the manager, dropped by our table to wish us Happy Anniversary. A special dinner at a special place and this place made us feel special.

My family and I made a reservation at Ocean 44 for New Year's Eve, but one of us ended up with Covid, so we rescheduled the following Saturday. The reservation was made, and modified easily, via OpenTable. We arrived upon their opening at 4 PM on a Saturday evening. There were five of us, including a toddler. Valet is complimentary upon arrival. The hostess greeted us and escorted us to our table without any wait time. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted and served water. Shortly after that, our server came over and introduced himself. I believe his name was Matthew and he was incredible. He took his time, explaining the menu and restaurant, brought over a cocktail menu, and some complimentary, delicious/pastry like bread served warm. A few of us got cocktails, and we ordered the lobster tails as well as the shrimp Vance appetizer. Shortly after our appetizers arrived, we put in our entrées. The server reminded us that the portions are larger and shareable, but we did not listen, and he was correct. I ordered the crabcakes, I ordered my son butter noodles. They don't have a kids menu, but they will make you what you want. My father-in-law ordered the arctic char with a pesto glaze, my mother-in-law ordered the scallops, and my husband ordered the Bronzino. A lot of seafood to go around. For sides, we ordered the black truffle, short rib Mac & cheese and the whipped potatoes. There was more than enough food to go around and we were all stuffed. We brought some food home as well. I tried everyone's and it was all amazing. I can't tell you again about the portions. They are out of control. You may think the restaurant is expensive, but when you realize what quality seafood you're getting and how much of it, you're definitely getting your money is worth. Our server told us that they bring in the seafood every day by truckloads. That's how you know it's fresh. We had mentioned my son and his 35 month birthday. One month shy of turning three. They said well we have to celebrate his birthday and allowed him to pick any dessert from the dessert menu on the house. I thought that was classy. A lot of restaurants will give complimentary dessert, but I always think it's classy when they allow you to pick from the menu. Whatever you want versus whatever they want to give you. We chose the chocolate, mousse bomb, and it was, the bomb. It was amazing. It was a hard, dark chocolate shell, with nuts, inside was a chocolate mousse, and inside of that was a custard, coconut feeling. Topped with Toasted, marshmallows, and graham cracker crust, some whip cream and hot fudge reading "happy birthday." It was a great way to end our meal. Then they came out with complimentary cookies that are crinkle cookies, apparently the owner has a nostalgic taste for these because it reminds him of being young. I thought it was really nice and also meaningful. In between courses, they bring out lavender infused hand towels, and every time they brought them out, it was almost as if they read my mind. I really wanted that for my hands. Everything was timed out and paced out perfectly. In terms of atmosphere, when you first walk in the entire kitchen, you can see through the windows. You can see all of the fresh fish laid out on ice, you can see how clean the kitchen is, and how meticulous the chefs are working. The chefs all waved below to my son as he was mesmerized by what they were doing. There's a beautiful bar and lounge area, the dining area is split up in two separate rooms, it looks like there was some private/event space in the back, and I want to say there was actually two bars, one in the front and the smaller one in the back. The place is very big. It is a very beautiful and fancy restaurant. The only negative I would say of this whole experience was probably the music choice. For such a regal, dining experience, we wanted more dinner, music. Maybe some Frank Sinatra, jazz, maybe even live music. Instead, it was like America's top 20. Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, etc. Not to say there's anything wrong with these bands, but for the Level of true beauty and experience this restaurant has, the music didn't match up. That is my only, smaller quip. I would go back here in a heartbeat. I also hear that they have another restaurant in Scottsdale called Steak 44, which I would be very interested in trying, but definitely on special occasion. Valentine's Day anyone?This restaurant comes highly recommended. It is definitely more expensive dining experience, but it's not just a restaurant, it's an experience. In my opinion, well worth every penny. You are going to get quality, quantity, and incredible service. As an update, my mother-in-law, who made the reservation, said that she got a call a day or two after we dined there, making sure our experience was everything we wanted it to be. Now, that's classy!

We could not have been happier with our choice to dine here. The ambience, cocktails, and food were all phenomenal! Our server Hannah S. was the absolute best and made our first experience here so enjoyable!! She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and beyond friendly. All of her appetizer, drink, and food recommendations were spot on! We'd highly recommend the crispy shrimp appetizer, Chilean sea bass, scallops, and mushroom topper. And the martinis were fantastic. Finally, her recommendation for dessert and substituting the ice cream flavor was perfect...and look how it came out! Thanks again Hannah for a wonderful experience.

This place is the real deal! Food is fantastic and service is exceptional. Had a group of 4 couples for a work event on a Monday night and they were hopping. My wife and I split the sea bass and the 12 oz filet. They were both cooked perfectly.We also split a salad and shared several sides with the table. Love the fact they split our entrees and salad perfectly, no issue at all. Love this place. Look forward to our next trip to the Scottsdale area. Will definitely come back here.

If you're a Steak44 fan, you can't go wrong with Ocean44...top notch service, great atmosphere, amazing options, and you never leave unsatisfied. Went with the Sautéed Shrimp Vince & New England Lobster Rolls to start, Bone-in Filet as my entree with French Black Truffle Short Rib Mac & Atlantic White Shrimp Risotto as the sides. Yes....I'm stuffed! Oh....and of course, finished off the night with the Ultimate Warm Vanilla Butter Cake. Steak44 and Ocean44 have pretty much the same menu...just a few different options at each place. If I had to pick my favorite of the 2, I'd still rank Steak44 #1 with Ocean44 a close 2nd....the steak just hits a little different at Steak44.

Came for a nice family outing minus the kids. Man was the service top notch, and food absolutely killer! They do not skimp on any details. They even ask what color napkins you'd like to use for your dinner before sitting down, and give warm towels after your meal. The ambiance is nice good for special occasions as well as corporate dinners. I would highly recommend everything was perfection!

Seriously hands down one of the best meals I've ever had in my life!!! We got the calamari and shrimp appetizer and whatever white sauce they have is AMAZING and the breading on both were excellent. For entrees I got salmon and my husband got the sea bass and sides were the mashed potatoes and shells and cheese. Every single thing we ordered was delicious and I mean DELICIOUS. The fish was excellent and the sides were the best we have ever had. Our server was Juan and he was amazing as well. The wine pours are AWSOME and way above average as well, so it's worth what you're paying for sure. We talked about this meal and agreed it was probably one of the best meals either of us have ever had. Thank you for exceptional food and service!!!!!

Great service and ambiance in a way that combines fresh seafood and modern vibes. All main courses some separate and need to order sides. Make sure to get the brussel sprouts extra crispy!

The ambiance catches you as soon as the attendance escorts you out of your vehicle. Steak was served tableside at perfect temperature to savor( 500 degrees) hot but cooked to cool down to what we had ask (medium). The steak was excellent, didn't really need the crispy shrimp and the Brussels sprouts were amazing! The Chilean sea bass was good and the mashed potatoes were a big hit as well. The atmosphere was great with music playing in the background but the service was the best of all. We received 5-Star service from the entire staff who waited on us and our water and wine glasses were constantly being replenished by our server. It was a great foodie experience and for those really looking for more of an experience that happens to have great food this is the spot for you. A must try when in the Scottsdale area.

If you're looking for overpriced, average food, and lousy service with attitude...look no further, this is the place! Strange atmosphere, unfriendly hostess and inattentive staff w attitude. Average, dry, NY Strip - triple the prices of what they should be: all the "say" I went to Ocean 44 - cmon, do better. Honestly, I grew up in AZ, know Scottsdale very well, and this place is making it look real bad. Go Elsewhere - better yet, go to AJ's or Costco, buy your steaks and a great bottle of wine and cook at home: not only will you save $$$, you'll get a much better meal. Cheers

Hands down Ocean 44 & Steak 44 has yet to disappoint!! We came here on a Friday night for a date! We were seated in an area with a view of the kitchen but with a more intimate privacy! All the waiters and servers are on point with service! Our waitress Megan was AMAZING! Super friendly & knowledgeable of the steakhouses. I didn't even know they had one in Cali which I look forward to going there soon! The food, especially their steaks are DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend coming here for any occasion especially date nights & anniversaries! They do not disappoint! Our go to for date nights

Overall rating: 4/5 Wait: 4.5/5 Arrival time: Monday 5:30 rsvp Food: 4/5 Order: oysters au gratin, linguini and clams, corn creme brulee, crab with striped bass (special), triple layer key lime Service: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Worth it, would come back I had a great time at Ocean 44 with my wife for our anniversary on a Monday evening. We had a reservation for 5:30 and we were seated promptly. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and a spacious layout. The service was attentive and friendly. We ordered oysters au gratin, linguini and clams, corn creme brulee, crab with striped bass (special), and triple layer key lime for dessert. The oysters were cheesy and delicious, the corn creme brulee was a unique and tasty side dish, and the crab and striped bass was a generous and flavorful entree. The only dish that disappointed us was the linguini and clams, which was a bit bland. We would probably skip that next time. The price was reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. It was similar to Steak 44 and Dominick's, which are owned by the same group. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Ocean 44 and we would definitely come back.

The service the restaurant offers is my favorite aspect of coming here. I think the food can be better, but I have always enjoyed the drinks and the desserts. Would recommend the hamachi, the Hawaiian poke, crispy shrimp (as an side rather than a full appetizer), main lobster escargot, and Chilean sea bass.

Update to the Rehearsal Dinner at Ocean 44. What a great night! Everything went off without a hitch. Kyara stopped by and introduced herself. It was nice to meet her and put a face with the name! The wait staff was awesome! (I wish I could remember their names). They were both spot on and extremely attentive. The Wine Room was a perfect spot and everyone in attendance had a great time! The food was perfectly prepared and delicious! So much more I could be I think you get the picture... make a point to go to Ocean 44, you will not be disappointed!

Wifey n I came in for her Bday. Shane was a phenomenal host. He made sure our drinks were full and plates weren't empty. Gave us wonderful recommendations and top notch service. Service from door to door was amazing, but the table service from someone like Shane is what will keep bringing people back! Food wise, outstanding, best In the valley for surf, turf, dessert n drinks. We left with huge smiles and we'll be back soon! Also props to management for how well the establishment is ran!

The service is excellent since the beginning I call to make the reservation they were very polite The food is amazing we love seafood so it was a delight to enjoy the oysters as fresh as they can be . the lobster also amazing the steaks perfect. The place is so cute and lovely but not overwhelming it feels warm and time flies without you noticing All the little details make the difference starting by the hot plates and the ending witb the warm lavender lil towels for cleaning after this is a place for that special event or person .

I went here for my birthday last year and it has to have been the best meal/dining experience of my life. The ambience and service both give an incredible, 5-star experience. I love how the "wall" between the kitchen and the dining room is glass, so you can see all the fresh seafood on ice and the chefs hard at work. If you're going to order one thing here, make it a seafood tower. The main course and sides were also delicious. Over a year later, the shishito peppers still stand out. I'm gluten and dairy free, and my server was so attentive and careful. The kitchen had accidentally prepared my dessert with the whipped cream, and our server was so upset that it was brought out. He gave that one to my parents and brought out a fresh one straight away.

Dined here recently and boy do these folks take your experience seriously. The hostesses kept us updated on our table, our wait staff were excellent and attentive to our requests. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a very lively vibe. Keeps things fun and light. The food was tasty. we enjoyed our entrees and apps and while we stuck mostly to seafood, I'm sure the steak items are just as good. We will definitely be back in the future.

10 stars out of 5. Great service; everyone seemed to work together in a gliding motion across the floor. All servers, bussers, and everyone else on the floor was kind, funny, and helpful. Our waitress was SO knowledgeable about every item on the menu, even when it came down to comparing different types of fish. If you take the time to walk by the glass, you'll see how many people are working together in the kitchen, to create your amazing food. My Chilean sea bass was phenomenal. It's served w a grilled lemon and the side. When I used it, it changed the experience and flavor. Unreal. The entire evening was one for the books. I plan on coming back and telling many of my friends and family to come enjoy Ocean 44 as well. Thank you for such a fantastic diner!
