Ocean Seafood Raw - BASALT
Ocean Seafood Raw
Description
Nestled in the Roaring Fork Valley, this seafood-focused spot is celebrated for a standout raw bar—oysters consistently fresh—and a lively bar program with strong wines and cocktails. Many diners praise thoughtfully prepared halibut and grouper, while others report uneven execution: overcooked or frozen-feeling dishes, seasoning lapses and high prices. Service has improved but can become strained when understaffed, with occasional slow drink service and temperature issues. A great choice for oyster and seafood lovers, though value-conscious guests may find the experience inconsistent.

Absolutely the best restaurant in Willits! The food is incredible and thoughtfully prepared. The seafood is fresh, and the oysters were fantastic. The service was excellent as well. My friends ordered some cocktails and enjoyed them so much that they ended up getting another round! Overall, it’s a wonderful dining experience. I could eat here every day, and the halibut deserves a solid 6 stars!
I had an amazing meal last night. I really enjoyed the raw oysters, and my wife was thrilled with her grilled oysters. The blackened grouper with wild mushrooms was outstanding!
I had a fantastic dinner experience at Ocean. Our friends were in town for the weekend, and everyone in our group enjoyed the wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The food was excellent, and the service was superb. The kitchen really impressed us! I highly recommend this restaurant.
Absolutely fantastic! Since its opening, this restaurant has become the best in the Roaring Fork Valley. I highly recommend it for its incredible seafood. The ambiance is exquisite, and the bar is fabulous! It was formerly known as Pacifica in Aspen. Definitely worth a visit!
I had a great experience at this restaurant. We had to use the sharing menu since the website menu wasn't functioning, but that wasn't an issue. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Overall, a lovely dining experience!
