oceans at arthur's

sushi rolls were very good. my wife and son both ordered snapper, which they enjoyed. i ordered the prime rib. i figured being under the same roof with the steakhouse it would be good. i was very wrong. first, prime rib should be sliced and put on a plate. someone’s doneness preference should dictate what part of the roast it comes from. i ordered medium rare. should be a center cut. i’m not sure what i was served was even prime rib. i wish i had taken a picture to show. but prime rib should be pink/red with crusty goodness on the edges from where the entire rib roast was roasted whole. what i got was a brown, medium well, maybe 10 oz “steak”. if it was sliced from a whole prime rib roast, it was cooked again. and only being like a 1/2” thick, how could it end up medium rare? it resembled prime rib in no way, shape or form. it had been a long day and i was sure i wouldn’t like whatever they brought out to replace it, so i just ate it and moved on. i should’ve said something, but i just wasn’t in the mood. also ordered a bowl of gumbo as an appetizer. it was basically a tomato broth with some okra, tomatoes and bell pepper over rice. there was absolutely no rue for this gumbo. and other than a little shredded crab meat, i saw noseafoodin the “seafood gumbo”. i was severely disappointed in a place we had high hopes for. especially after spending $180~. we were visiting the area in anticipation of moving there. once we get down there, i am not sure i’d go back. i’ll give the steakhouse a try.

very disappointing. my husband and i were so excited to try oceans, but it was just really not good food. the service and drinks were amazing!! but my sushi was sub-par and my husband commented that hisseafoodpasta tasted like lean cuisine. yuck. i would totally go back for drinks and apps but other than that, i'll pass.

oceans little rock. my husband and i had our anniversary dinner at oceans. i had heard about this newestseafoodrestaurant and the freshness of theseafoodso we decided to try it. the service was good and the quality of food was good but the quantity was disappointing. my husband had the mixedseafoodgrill and the largest portion on his plate was the asparagus. for $20 we felt like he should have gotten more than 2 skewers (yes really) of seafood. 2-shrimp, 1.5 scallops, 2 one inch cubes of salmon and 2 slices of polenta. my $22 grouper was a decent portion and good flavor but the linguine with squash (?) was bland bland bland. we started with oysters, raw on half shell and baked rockefeller. both were good but the baked was just warm (?). the $7 caesar was a handful of romain with little dressing that was supposed to be anchovy vinagrette (?). thanks again to our server who sensed our disappointment (we laughed when she asked if we had room for dessert) and gave us a complimentary creme brulee. all in all we enjoyed ourselves since it was our anniversary but next time we will go to cajuns.

best experience ever! the service was very attentive to us and made it a truly wonderful event! my husband and i came for our anniversary and loved it, the nola oysters were amazing, and we loved the sushi as well as our entrees. my husband had the jerk grouper and loved it, i had the scampi pasta and found it simply delicious.. bestseafoodin little rock!

greatseafoodrestaurant. it is very nice to have a non-chainseafoodrestaurant to go to in little rock, that does not have a japanese menu, and oceans does not disappoint. i really enjoy their oysters rockefeller appetizer and the braised short rib surf and turf had a lot of flavor. theseafoodpasta is also a good choice and the oceantini is a nice house-drink if you want something with alcohol in it.
