Oceana Seafood Restaurant

The 4.9 stars is well deserved. Oceana did not disappoint. The Ahi Nachos were amazing, could have made a meal of those on their own. The Salmon Bruschetta was probably more of a 4☆ dish, was just OK. The 7 Oceanas was highly enjoyed by my kiddos. Coconut Flan was decadent, but I would probably try a different dessert the next time. Wait staff was very attentive. Great meal overall.

"Don’t judge a book by its cover". That old saying has never been more true than at Oceana in Rancho Mirage. From the outside, this unassuming spot might not immediately catch your eye—but step inside, and you’re transported into a lively, creative space that perfectly reflects the restaurant’s inventive approach to food. The interior is a delightful surprise—bright, artful, and full of personality. It’s the kind of place that immediately makes you feel welcome and curious about what’s to come. And what comes next does not disappoint. The menu at Oceana is a thoughtful blend of fresh, high-quality ingredients and imaginative preparation. Every dish feels inspired, from the beautifully presented seafood plates to unexpected flavor pairings that work flawlessly. You can tell that the chef

The food was excellent and the menu was interesting and varied. Service was attentive and pleasant. My wife had the scallops and said they were perfect. Our friends had seafood pasta and one of the octopus dishes and were very pleased. I had the lamb and it was delicious. The Carlota dessert was a very nice version of tres leches and the coconut flan was excellent. All in all a very nice dinner experience.

Oceana is the best restaurant in the desert. The only thing I would complain about is the acoustics. It does get a little loud in there. I have been there 5 times now and only once have I waited for a table. The servers are terrific and the managing owner Fernando is accessible and approachable. The food is exquisite amd something to write home about. If you have a sophisticated pallet, you will not be disappointed. Tell your friends.

I was told to try Oceana for lunch. It was fabulous. Huge portions of fresh and well portioned food. The staff was kind and welcoming. The ambiance is comfortable yet elegant. My husband ordered the salmon sandwich and I ordered the chicken sandwich. Both were better than we could have imagined. We will be back. We are very happy customers.
