Got a chance to give them another try and this time we tried out the crab and bacon grilled cheese…read moreand the shrimp basket. I still think the fried shimp is probably their best item. Fries were pretty good. The grilled cheese was weird; it seemed like somehow the bread dissolved and so it was kind of like eating a bowl of oily cheese with crab with bacon chunks. Probably would have made a great topping for a baked potato, but definitely weird on its own, almost like eating a cheese dip without dipping anything in. I think if they came back, the best move would be to bring a sandwich roll and make a po'boy with their fried shrimp.

My husband and I went on a much needed date night tonight. I've always wanted to give BB's a try…read moreand finally convinced him! We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer, they were phenomenal! Then we both decided on steak for dinner. I got the filet, and ordered it medium rare and it was perfect. My husband ordered the ribeye and his was medium, his was also spot on. Then of course, we had to get dessert. I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try. The only negative thing that I would say is that it's a bit cramped, so it was very loud and hard to hear each other at points. This was an amazing dinner. We will be back

Some waiting for food outside of the building, DoorDash orders being picked up as well as patrons ordering at the counter. The customer service is nice and the clerk was very attentive when taking my order due to the noise behind him. I appreciated him leaning in to make sure he heard my order correctly. The food was fresh and hot, also tasty. What could be improved on is the amount of fries that were given and also a correct price for adding cheese on them. We were originally quoted 50 cents for a squirt and I literally mean a squirt was $1.09. For both sides of the container to not be filled was quite disappointing. I also ordered a lamb rice bowl and added mushrooms and it came with a total of 3 of them. (Afterthought because they forgot originally) I will give this place another try but not before the year is out.

We had family in town visiting from Ohio and planned to take them to one of our go to seafood…read morespots. We showed up and it was closed for a private party, which honestly felt like a bust at first. So we pivoted and decided to try somewhere new and ended up at Junior's. Best decision we could have made. From the second we walked in, the staff took great care of us. Super friendly, welcoming, and on it the whole time. The food came out fast, hot, and everything was on point. The seafood was fresh, the fried items were crispy and clean, not greasy, and the sauces were legit. You can tell they care about what they're putting out. And then we topped it off by taking a whole key lime pie home with us which was just as good as everything else. They even took a photo of our family for us, which was a cool touch and just shows the kind of place this is. Safe to say what started as a backup plan just turned into our new favorite seafood spot. We'll definitely be back.

Kimchi vinaigrette. Great! Highly recommend! Taverna Oceana is a place I would absolutely return to. If you go I hope Rachel is at the bar and Lee shucks your oysters. They are what make the place!

It was naturally lit, clean, and bright making the room feel intimate but not cramped. There was no overwhelming music, just a subtle hostess playlist in the background that allowed us to talk comfortably and enjoy the moment without competing with noise. The restaurant smelled clean and fresh. Not overly bleached, not heavy with fragrance. Just well kept. Temperature is a big one for me. I'm always cold and typically bring a sweater everywhere. I was completely comfortable the entire time, which honestly impressed me. The staff was exceptional. Dakota struck the perfect balance of attentiveness. Present, warm, and responsive without hovering. Managing a group of about 20 women is no small task, and everything flowed smoothly. Now the food. Not a single complaint from a table full of women, that's huge! I made it my business to ask around and every response was great. I ordered the blue crab eggs Benedict with the parmesan truffle fries and everything was wonderful. My friend ordered the prime rib sandwich and it was a generous portion and she loved it. Pricing felt appropriate for the quality and overall experience. I'll absolutely be returning with my husband soon, and I would confidently recommend Taverna Oceana for private gatherings, celebrations, or simply a well-executed brunch in San Marco.
