OC｜Must-Try Aged Steak + Seafood Restaurant 🥩🦞 Ocean48

Ocean 48 left me with one clear impression – ingredients are seriously fresh, and flavors don’t disappoint. Service is gentle – they don’t hover but appear right when you need them. Nice ambiance too – for dates, you can request a table by the pool when reserving. ✅ Perfect for dates (vibe ++) ✅ Great for birthdays or small gatherings ✅ Ideal if you want fresh seafood/steak without the risk If you're in OC and choosing a steakhouse – give this one a try. Appetizers are abundant and varied – honestly, next time I might just order several apps with wine and skip the main! Even the complimentary bread was delicious. ❤️ What we loved: 🦪 Oysters – sweet and fresh 🔥 Torched Scallops + Caviar* 🐙 Wood Roasted Spanish Octopus 🦑 Rhode Island Calamari + Shrimp 🥗 Superfood Salad 🥩 Main – we shared one between two: 45-day Dry Aged Bone-in Ribeye (22oz) Cut open to perfect medium-rare – juices locked in, not leaking everywhere. Rich, buttery, and deeply beefy in flavor. 🎂 Birthdays come with a complimentary dessert! 📅 Reserve ahead on OpenTable, especially on holidays. #100RestaurantsChallenge #LAFoodGuide #LAEats #IrvineFood #IrvineLife #LASteakhouse
