Oceanaire Gets Skewered
Posted by Foobooz on December 26th, 2006
Rick Nichols takes an early look at the Oceanaire Seafood Room and finds it lacking to say the least.
This was the start of a lunch closer to the holiday, and as generous as I was feeling, it put me off my feed. Crabcake club sandwich? Ridiculously overpowering roll. (The crabcakes themselves are sweet, meaty things bound with mayo-mustard dressing but served in artless blobs.) The Yuengling-beer-battered fish and chips? Batter worthy of TGIF. Shoestring fries mounded to truly elephantine excess. To give it its due, the cup of New England clam chowder ($4.95) was a pure, bacon-scented joy.
