H2Ocean Restaurant & Raw Bar

Especialista em peixes, com pratos muito bem elaborados e trabalhados. Um restaurante gourmet.
Atendimento muito bom, tem ampla opções de vinhos e cervejas.
Recomendo o wild tuna, atum grelhado por fora e cru internamente.

Came here for Valentine’s Day and we were seated fairly on time. My husband ordered 3 different glasses of wine and they were all low quality. Portions were generous. I will say they did a good job for the lobster and octopus. Service can be better. I have to ask the waitress to refill water and ask the waiter to take the drink order multiple times.
4 stars for ambience 3 for food and service.

I visited H2Ocean for thr first time last week and ordered the Wild Florida Red Grouper. This dish was really great, and came with the best mashed sweet potatoes that I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere, food, and service will keep me coming back.

Came to this venue for Valentine’s Day and so happy for that!
Both my girlfriend and myself were so happy with this restaurant. The venue is very trendy with a fantastic oceanic atmosphere.
We started with half a dozen of oysters and little neck clams — DELICIOUS. And they accommodate that with all the needed add-on’s such as cocktail sauce, your lemon, hot sauce, vinegar, and horseradish.
We then moved on to the entrees. I had the grilled red snapper with a sweet potato purée with string beans. My date had the crab cavatelli. Both plates were made so well and tasted great.
We then finished the meal off with the salted caramel cheesecake and they provided us with two complimentary chocolate covered strawberries. Valet service was great. Bartender was very welcoming before and after our meal.
Cons: I’m taking a star away from the service. The waitress was very cold and distant with her clients just waiting for the end of her shift which didn’t seem to be as busy as I thought with a good number of empty tables.
Overall, fantastic seafood restaurant in the area. Will certainly be returning.

We has a very nice meal. Service was good, food was good. They were very accomodating. We will be back. Very good experience

Very nice upscale and expensive. but the food was great. We had oysters, which were very good. PEI mostly. Then the fish. cooked well, simple flavors. I had the fluke, my friend had the swordfish. We both cleaned our plates. They have a nice bar area too, not too big, but not too small… and the décor is nice. I would go again if I were in the area and on a expense account :)

Had an 8:30 on reservation tonight via open table. After waiting 40 minutes and enquiring twice when we would be seated, we walked out.
There were 3 people acting as hosts and several open tables that we could see from the bar area. There wasn’t any communication from these individuals as to we would finally, if ever, be seated. Business is run awful and will definitely not last unless they can handle a «Saturday night» crowd.
If you decide to go, eat beforehand and bring your patience.

The food was not that bad except the service quality was low and my server was nice but took a while. I will come back her to eat their food again.

I’ve been here several times and would rate H2Ocean a perfect 10! The Cosmos are perfect! The appetizers are delicious and the fish always fresh! Consistently delicious! Thank you!

I wanted to love this restaurant. The parking lot is tight, with little room to open doors. Ambiance was great, with a hip/​trendy vibe. The signature cocktails sounded great, but after looking more closely did not look appetizing. I went with an extra dirty martini with blue cheese olives. Again, thus sounded great but was like drinking a slab of salt. It made me nauseous. The panzanella salad was nothing special. Croutons were enormous (like eating boulders). I ordered swordfish as my entrée. The swordfish was both over and undercooked, served over undercooked and tasteless vegetables. Every item had potential but turned my stomach before I could finish. It’s too bad — I was hoping to find a place where I could be a regular.

I would give 6 stars if possible (I have never said that about any other place!).
Service was so warm — from the moment we were greeted and seated to the end, everyone was beyond amazing. We told them we would need a highchair when making the resv and it was already waiting at the table when we got there. We had a toddler and everyone was so kind to her.
The food was great. The meatballs were out of this world, oysters fresh, pasta and fish cooked perfectly. Portions were huge and the sourdough bread they give is chewy and delicious.
Simply amazing.

Great place for lunch. It filled up so do make a reservation.
Boss took me and the office manager here for end of year meal, and the food was delicious. Price was quite reasonable too during lunch time. Apps were around $ 10 and entrees around $ 16 – 18. For fresh seafood, it’s actually quite a bargain.
For starters, we shared the meatball app.
There were three large moist and perfectly textured meatballs with pine nuts and some crispy basil leaves in the tomato sauce. The sauce is great with the piping hot French bread. The bread also came with olives and hummus.
For entrée, I had the special of the day — pan seared red snapper with crab meat and seasoned potato purée. The red snapper was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Not very thick but it was a big fillet. The crab on top of the fish was a bit fishy and not the lump meat, but definitely plentiful. I like my potatoes with a bit of chunks and this had none but it was ok bc the fish was crispy enough so the texture was complementary.
We passed on the dessert bc I was really full from the meal. The office manager took away 75% of her entrée (cavatelli with blue lump crab meat. She said it was great). Boss had the surf and turf burger $ 18 and it had beef patty with lobster meat on top!
It’s a nyc type of restaurant with great service and interesting décor inside. The exterior is rather unassuming and I had no clue there’s a nice restaurant inside during my daily drive.
The only negative thing about the place was that it could get very loud if you sit in the back where many tables are placed together. We were behind one table of 6 patrons and their laughter drowned out our conversation at times which was annoying. Ask to sit in the front of the restaurant if you want some peace and quiet.

I can not understand how anyone can give this place less than 5 stars! I wish i could give it 10 stars. It truly is the best restaurant in the area by far and in my three visits I have been more impressed each time. The Chef is doing an excellent job with the menu selections and specials and the preparation and presentation is exceptional. I love this place! If I had to give a negative on any count I could say that the service was a little slow on one visit and the place is fairly noisy when it’s busy — which of course it usually is because it’s great!
I would most highly recommend the Kale Salad and Ahi tuna! I also tried the octopus on the last visit and although I would normally shy from such a dish, I gave it a try and it was delicious.
The prices are high so although I’d love to go there everyday I save this place for occasional enjoyment when it afforded. But it’s worth every penny! Keep up the great work H2Ocean! I hope ur around for a very long time and I will be a long time customer!

Loved dining here with my fiancé to celebrate our engagement!
First off, choosing an entrée is the hardest decision because everything sounds so good. I ultimately settled on the potato crusted sole with crab mash and caviar beurre blanc. it was delicious and they don’t skimp on the portions. My fiancé had the fresh cavatelli with crab and tomato sauce and raved about it the entire night. We started with the fried calamari and shrimp, which was great and came with a squid ink aioli and marinara. I love the new american options and would definitely come back to try the other entrees. We ended with the brownie cookie mint chip gelato sandwich, which was a great ending to the meal. We were absolutely stuffed after the meal.
We got a free champagne toast as we were celebrating our engagement, which was a very nice touch. Service is top notch and they constantly checked up on us, filled our waters, and were very knowledgeable about the menu.
Recommend for any special occasion!

Simply awesome.
So happy to have finally stopped in because I’ve found my go to seafood (and more) place and it’s literally right around the corner.
They are packed all the time so be sure to reserve ahead or get there early to sit at the raw bar. We came in at about 5:45 and were the only ones there, by 6:15 the raw bar was completely full.
We started with seasonal cocktails which were really good and it was pretty cool to have options like mulled apple cider to set the mood for fall.
We tried a bunch of the oysters all of which were delicious. They stay mostly in the Atlantic and I tend to like more of the west coast oysters. However every one we tried was super fresh and very tasty.
We also tried the grilled octopus appetizer and it was the most flavorful, tender, and well cooked octopus I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious and a must try.
For mains there were 3 of us so we tried the swordfish grilled and with the house prep. Tender, delicious, and fresh — all very good qualities in a meal. Try it. Then the halibut also prepared with the house prep and it was a huge portion of fish, cooked perfectly, and so delicious. Try it too. Then we had the chef’s selection which was the grouper for the day. It was served over creamy potatoes and a tomato buerre blanc and topped with crab. All I can say is WOW! Aside from the slight overcook on the fish it was amazing. You must try the chef selection. We were out of there for about $ 200 including tip for 3 people with oysters, drinks, apps, and entrees. A little pricey but well worth it.
They have a ton of options so we can’t wait to come back. This will be a regular spot for us to get our fish fix plus with a full bar it’s a great pot to pop in for an appetizer.
Definitely give it a look.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday recently at H2Ocean and it was a fantastic experience.
What we got:
Frito Misto (calamari and shrimp) — can never go wrong if done well… and this was so crisp and delicious. Large enough portion for all six of us to share at the table
Ahi Tuna Tare Tare — not my favorite but everyone on the table liked it
Lobster bisque — tried a spoonful, really hearty and no skimping on the lobster. Loved it.
Grilled Octopus — the husband rated this highly & said it was the best he had eaten — succulent and not at all chewy
Lobster mac and cheese — we actually got this for the 2 kids at our table, but all of us dug in… it was so good ;)
Main course:
Cavatelli with crab — the pasta wasn’t the freshest, but the succulent crab made up for it. The sauce was rich and plentiful.
Pan seared Scallops with spinach purée: excellent
Sea Bass — this was the market catch of the day and the fish is served whole. Very fresh and flaky.
Seared Sole on bed of veggies (instead of the potato crusted version listed on the menu): this was my favorite dish on the table — the fish was excellent… moist and fresh. The veggies were a great accompaniment.
Not a single bad dish was had… the service was efficient and attentive. The place was packed on a Friday night and the staff did a great job pacing out the meal and keeping our water glasses filled throughout the evening.
Can’t remember the name of the chocolate cake we had for dessert, though it was rich, gooey and so good. They also gave us complimentary cinnamon ice-​cream, which we thought was an odd choice — nice, but odd! ;)
All in all, a great evening.
*Average cost pp $ 75 with drinks… so special occasions only!*

My fellow Unilocal’rs never fail me! Took my wife here for her birthday this weekend and we are now instant fans. Service was top notch, waiters and staff are very polite and friendly. Oysters were fresh, mussels were flavorful and all our dishes were seasoned perfectly. I actually had to take my baby outside because she was being cranky, when I went back inside I was surprised by the fact our waiter had covered my dish to keep it warm. Small things like this go a long way in our eyes, we can’t wait to eat here again!

H2ocean is our go-​to restaurant for amazing food and great drinks. Tonight, we went for Lobster monday… $ 25 for 1 ½# lobsta… served with mashed potatoes and veggies… preceded by a nice sized salad with gorganzola… and finished with yummy chocolate gelato.
What else on the menu is great… we have had most of their appys. Oysters on the half shell, very large hanging shrimp cocktail, and lobster tail… all consistently very good. Lobster mac n cheese. .yummy. Aunt Lina’s meatballs. .my boyfriend’s favorite.
I’ve enjoyed the wild salmon, pan seared ahi tuna, and potato encrusted sole… all very good, but my absolute favorite is aunt Lina’s handmade orchettiete with shrimp.
My bf is a meat eater and loves the short ribs or steak.
As for desserts, we haven’t really explored that option, because there rarely is any room for dessert.
Enjoy their very good wine list or enjoy an amazing mixed drink… this will continue to be a regular treat that we love.

A good local seafood restaurant delivering tasty, fresh seafood in a thematically decorated setting.
The central circular bar near the entrance was smartly done, and properly staffed. The drinks are a fair pour at fair prices, with a decent selection of beer and wine.
I was very impressed by the grilled octopus Ap. it was cooked spot on, nicely seasoned, though it could have used a touch of citrus.
I liked, though didn’t love, the lobster bisque. Nice amount of lobster and the right consistency, but something was a little off.
The sesame tuna was unfortunately overcooked. A shame, because it had such potential.
The scallops on the other hand were a touch under seared. They were could right, they just could have used that perfect crust.
While I wasn’t feeling dessert, my group loved the s’mores, merely liked the deconstructed cannolis.
I’d like to give it another try. I think they have promise.

Great ambiance, great service, good food, long wait time, crappy app and prices.
We ventured here a few weeks back and pulled in on a Sunday evening to an empty parking lot. Hence, they are closed on Sundays.
I later called for a weekday reservation and the gentleman was very cordial taking the reservation versus me wondering if they actually wrote it down (do you get this vibe sometimes?)
Ambiance is just great. There is a nautical them throughout, but not traditional more modern. Nice.
Service was really good and this is understandably not a place you are going to dine and dash. My husband and I go out so much that sitting in a place for over an hour is just too much for us when we are alone. Had we been with friends it would have been fine.
Apps…we had the seafood frito and it was just blah. I have never had such small calamari rings, very thin. The fried lemon was interesting and good, not as sour as you would expect.
Meal was good and normal serving sizes for this type of restaurant, you will definitely not be taking any food home.
Prices were higher than Legal Seafood.
This is a nit pick, but they really should have parking lights on at 9:30 at night, it was pitch black when we left the place.

So far one of the best restaurants I’ve been to.
If you are looking for new american, great seafood dishes made of daily delivered seafood and very well flavored food, this is the place.
Different from steakhouse or traditional Italian restaurants that give you huge portions with old-​fashioned style food.
— Complimentary warm bread basket gives you breadrolls of sour-​dough, multi-​grain and white bread. And side of olive oil, olives and house-​made hummus.
— Onion soup was a big disappointing as it didn’t have rich flavor.
— Fried calamari & shrimp: Great coating and interesting black ink dipping sauce in addition to regular tomato dipping sauce. Not much shrimp (only a couple).
— Lobster Mac & Cheese: This was the winner of all dishes. Good breadcrumb toppings and flavorful mac & cheese (although it’s not cheesy).
My colleague had Scallop dishes and key lime pie and he enjoyed both.
Service was friendly and attentive.
Definitely try here for business dinner or date night!
PS: Very reasonable wine ($ 7-​$ 10 per glass)/beer (around $ 6) list.
