Oceano Bistro - Clayton - Saint Albans

Overall, a very enjoyable brunch. Hollandaise sauce tasted a bit like nacho cheese (not bad just different than I expected). It was also cold, but the rest of the eggs Benedict was good.

Good lunch menu, food just missed a depth of flavor one always hoped for in seafood comfort food.

Excellent service and the food was prepared perfectly.

We had asked for a 4-top even though there were only 2 of us. My reservation was for a 4 top and I wrote in the notes that we need a 4 top because we order a lot of wine (and food! . Needless to say, the hostess was not very nice about it, and was finally able to find a small (not a 4 top table for us. She said they were very busy and that's the best she could do. They put us on the veranda which was very chilly. Needless to say, our table was quite crowded as we got started with two apps that were served in very large plates on a very small 2' square table that also had to accommodate our 2 wine glasses a piece (4 total plus a water glass and our two bread plates and the bread and oil dishes. Do you see where I am going with this story? We each ordered an entree plus a side dish to share. After we were seated we noticed that they sat another couple (yes, just 2 people at a table behind us in the corner and they were at a 4 top! Unlike us, they only ordered one glass of wine a piece (not 2 bottles of wine that we ordered , one appetizer that they shared and an entree and dessert (that they shared . We were not happy campers at the end of the night even though they came by and offered to reseat us later, but who is going to move once you sit down and start eating?? I cannot believe they even offered that. Enough said!

60 th birthday celebration. Great service and fabulous food. The Halibut was our favorite dish. We will return in the future.
