Business Summary what's this?
For four star dining in Indianapolis, try Oceanaire Seafood Room - Indianapolis. This is a great place. This restaurant is expensive. It's known for its seafood. It's been awarded the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence award. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a romantic atmosphere. This place features fine wines. This restaurant is good for groups.
From the moment you enter the Oceanaire you feel a sense of place and time akin to a classic 1930s ocean liner. No detail is left to chance. From cocktails in the lounge, to our raw oyster bar, to a main course of ultra-fresh fish, a rendezvous at the Oceanaire is the perfect occasion to indulge your unfettered senses.Our seafood is flown in daily from around the world. We source only top-of-the-catch fish from the world's most reputable suppliers. Since our menu is based entirely on market availability, selections change by the day - in some cases, even by the hour. Choose your fancy prepared to your liking: simply grilled or broiled, sauteed, steamed or even fried. Served with our famous fresh baked sourdough bread, and offered with a wine list as deep as the sea, it's no wonder people come here to be spoiled.

Atmosphere is industrial. Seems cold. Pricey for sure. Food is fine, but not the best place to go in indianapolis. You can get equivalent seafood at other restaurants with a better atmosphere.
