I won't be returning.
Went with business colleagues which was obvious. First problem was when I asked for the wine list a waiter starts pestering me with his recommendations, all $200 plus of course, possibly hoping to embarrass me int just saying yes to one of his overpriced suggestions. I eventually asked him to leave me alone and found the a more reasonable wine at $80- per bottle - still not cheap. Not being familiar with NY oysters I then asked for the fattest oysters on the list. I was quite surprised when they served me 6 of the smallest oysters I have ever seen, the shells were probably 2" inches in length, half the size of a reasonable British oyster. For mains I asked what a Dorade was and was told it was a mediterranean fish, I asked if they had any local fish, they said no. Dorade turned out to be sea bream which was OK and sevred with large leaves of winter greens on top. We ended up spending north of $700- for 5 of us. All in all I was singularly unimpressed. The food was poor (oysters) to average (fish) the selection available limited, wines expensive and the waiters bothersome and surly.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent three course pre theater dinner menu at $55.
On a recent visit to New York we had dinner at Oceana, a seafood restaurant in the base of a skyscraper near the theater district. The restaurant is large and very modern. We ordered the three course price fixed pre theater menu. It was $55 or $95 with wine. I went for the wine option. This included four small pours of wines matched to the different courses. It is good value. The first pour was a small production grower champagne that was excellent. The wine steward talked us through all the wines presented. This one was so good I went home and ordered some from our local wine store. The waiter brought focaccia break with olive oil for dipping. It was quite good. We both opted for the selection of four oysters as our first course. This was served with a Sicilian white wine. A good choice. Our next course was mahi mahi on a bed of mashed potato and broccolini. This was matched either an Italian red wine that was light with little tannin. It was a good choice. Dessert was an upscale version of a creamsicle. This was served in a rocks glass and included a mild orange ice cream (or sorbet) whipped cream and a crunchy base. It was very good. The wine was a tokay from Hungary. This was good too. Are there negatives? The wine list is large but quite expensive. Very few bottles under $100. The a la carte menu is pricy, however the pre theater menu is a great deal, especially in Midtown Manhattan. We plan on returning.
Be the first to ReplyPhenomenal lunch spot. Go if you haven’t!
We went there on a Friday for a casual lunch, and couldn’t have been more impressed. The decor, the service, and the food were all spot on. Pricing is what you would expect for the area, so no surprises. Wish we lived closer and could go more often!
Be the first to ReplyDelicious food and attentive service
We had an absolutely lovely dining experience at Oceania. The service was great - attentive and friendly. And the food was fantastic. I had the Seared Sea Scallops which were like butter... so yum. My husband had the Sea Bass & King Crab Cioppino which was good but not quite as good as the scallops. :) The staff also were thoughtful about the fact we were on a timeline since we had tickets to a show.
Be the first to ReplyBack to back dinners - first night 4.9 stars / second night 3.9 stars so average 4.4 stars
Went here on a Friday evening and had some great service at dinner! The water pourer would actually have a towel to ensure that none of the water would splatter on the table, we were checked on by multiple waiters several times throughout the meal, and the water glasses were filled every 2-3 minutes / it was very impressive. We started by sharing the lump crab cake - nice portion and good taste. Then I had the scallops which were perfectly cooked (the corn polenta was slightly under) while my friend had the swordfish which was well received. For dessert, we shared the cheese plate where 3 of the 4 cheeses (particularly the blue) were very good. Wines by the glass were reasonable and the meal was so good that we decided to come back the next night for dinner. Unfortunately, Saturday was not as good. The excellent service from Friday disappeared, to the point we needed to track someone down to refill the water glasses. My friend lucked out that the market fish for the pre-theater pre-fixe was mahi mahi, so adding the tasty fish to the mixed greens to start and small cookie plate for dessert was at least affordable. I was not quite as luck, with the roasted beet salad being so-so and then the scallops were clearly not cooked long enough (although this time the corn polenta was spot on). Finally, the chocolate tart was way too rich - so I somewhat regretted coming back the second night. I guess that I would try Oceana again at some point, but at these prices the service needs to be good 100% of the visits, not just half of them

Beautiful Restaurant. Excellent Service. Very good food. We got a Lobster Pasta, a mushroom soup and crab cakes. Love return.
Be the first to ReplySenational Culinary Journey at Oceana: A tasting menu triumph!
Wow! I wanted to share my experience and gratitude for the incredible experience we had at Oceana while celebrating my sister’s birthday. The staff at Oceana, truly made the celebration a resounding success. The outstanding service we received from the hostess who helped keep our surprise, and Matt, the sommelier, who eloquently guided us through the wines, and Jose, our server, whose professionalism and charm added immensely to our enjoyment, was truly exceptional. The chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairing was exquisite. We delighted in the diverse array of appetizers and had the pleasure of savoring every pasta dish on the menu, thanks to the accommodating size of our group. The crabcakes were delightfully light and flaky, and the lobster pasta surpassed expectations – a remarkable feat (I live in Maine)! The filet mignon stood out, cooked to perfection. We are looking forward to planning our next trip to NYC and our next opportunity to explore Oceana's menu whenever we find ourselves in New York. The incredibly delicious food undoubtedly contributed to the evening’s joy, but what truly stood out was the warmth and dedication of Oceana’s team. Our private room added an extra layer of delight, and we’re sincerely thrilled to have such a wonderful space to celebrate in. It was heartening to see the restaurant bustling with activity, a testament to its well-deserved success. The elegant and lovely style was evident in every aspect of our visit, and we left with hearts full of gratitude and admiration and our stomachs satiated. Thank you to everyone at Oceana for creating such a memorable celebration. We look forward to returning!

Short staffed and were told we could not order. Just wanted a drink. So strange! Hostess was incredibly rude.
Be the first to ReplyLovely meal and excellent service
We didn’t have a reservation but walked in and the hostess was very polite and seated us in the bar area immediately as there were no tables in the main restaurant. Our server was very kind and polite and everyone was gracious. The food was lovely and the servings were very reasonable. The prices were high for us Texans but reasonable for NYC. Would definitely recommend.
Be the first to ReplyVery disappointing…
Sad to report this was a very disappointing visit…I had high expectations with the environment and menu options but left frustrated. The food overall was just not good. The basic salad with lemon dressing was nothing special and probably would have been better with a balsamic dressing or something else to make it worth $20…the fries were not crispy, we got charged for 2 bottles of sparkling water although the water wasn’t left at the table ($23), the pasta was warm at best and the wine was cool but not “chilled”. I was ready for a great meal and the only reason I mention prices is because it was super frustrating to get the bill and see what was charged when the quality and service weren’t there.
Be the first to ReplyA very nice dinner
Food and service were outstanding. My wife had the Swordfish, I had the Salmon entree. My wife had the tuna tartare for her appetizer;l had the seafood bisque soup. With two drinks a piece and coffee/tea at the end of the meal, the bill was $250. A bit pricey but welcome to NYC.

we dined here on new year's eve choosing some of the items on the a la carte menu. we had a good time, the waiter who assisted us was very nice and friendly. the atmosphere is cozy and the restaurant is practically in times square. recommend

Excellent seafood restaurant. Great service. Great dish presentation. My fish was just excellent and the right size. Good wine selection available. Requires reservation
Be the first to ReplyPlace sucks
Empty tables everywhere 8pm and they tell us there’s no room except the bar. Perhaps they just discriminate against Bostonians or perhaps they didn’t think we would rack up a big enough bill because we were wearing jeans. Big mistake. Will never go back here. Horrible.
Be the first to ReplyPerfect dining experience
While in NYC for the marathon, my son and I visited Oceana Restaurant. The restaurant has floor-to-ceiling windows and the floor is open and airy. Despite there being many patrons, it was very quiet, making conversation enjoyable. The staff is very helpful, pleasant. (I asked where the restrooms are and a staff member escorted me there.) There is a very extensive menu. The food was very delicious, served beautifully. We would have liked to have ordered the 4-course Chef's Tasting Menu but the server advised against it since we had theater tickets for a show which began in 90 minutes. I finished my meal with a perfect, small dessert of gelato. A lovely place to go before the theater. We will definitely return the next time we are in NYC.
Be the first to ReplyQuality seafood, classic banker’s lunch spot
Popped in for a business lunch as I work nearby. Very good stuff and I can see why it’s a popular place for colleagues. Efficient and polite service, classy interior and decor, very tasty food.
Be the first to ReplyOur favorite NYC restaurant
My mom and my "go to" nice restaurant when we visit NYC. We typically do the Tasting menu and it is well worth the price. You get an appetizer, Pasta, Main and dessert. SO much food. Our favorite include the ceviche, crab cake, and allll the desserts are to die for.
Be the first to ReplyExquisite
Very much enjoyed our dinner at Oceana while on a recent NYC trip. Dined with friends and we all enjoyed our meals and drinks. Atmosphere was lovely and wait staff were attentive and personable. NYC has many excellent restaurants, and this one is among the best. I recommend and would most definitely return here.

We popped in for a quick lunch, very attentive service we had Rose wine, Lobster roll and Soft Shell Crab BLT perfect light lunch.
Be the first to Reply5th Time, still excellent
We enjoy this restaurant. It is modern, upscale, white table cloth. They were very accommodating and we had a multigenerational family of 11 all at one table. We had a long leisurely and conversational time. Excellent venue, excellent menu and food, service was outstanding - particularly when you consider the number of diners. We come here every time we visit Manhattan.
Be the first to ReplyFabulous meal!
Dinner with friends before a show. Host was most accommodating in finding us the quietest place in the restaurant. (Quite a noisy, happening bar scene out front; but much quieter in back.) Service was excellent. Each person's meal was delectable - flavorful & perfectly prepared for the specific food.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent in Every Way
We had dinner here on our last night in NYC. Oceana is a very happening place. The hostess seated us in a booth which was lovely as we looked out over the entire dining area. Our server Alejandra was lovely — in every way. We started with drinks followed by salad and fresh clams. Our mains from our point of view arrived a little earlier than expected - Dover sole and branzino…both beautifully prepared all washed down with a lovely Pinot Blanc from Humbrecht. Desserts and coffee finished off a lovely and memorable evening.
Be the first to ReplyFresh seafood, Great service
Oceana restaurant was very busy on a Thursday for an early dinner. The bar area was packed as well as the large restaurant space. The service here is impeccable, attention to every detail. Alejandra was friendly and engaging. We loved her! The bread service was warm focaccia. There’s nothing like warm bread. My husband and I started out with cocktails, I had a very well-made Paloma. We began with appetizers - he had the grilled octopus and I had the yellowtail crudo. Both appetizers were delicious. The grilled octopus was grilled to perfection and not rubbery. The yellowtail was fresh and buttery. We the ordered seafood dishes for dinner. My husband had the branzino and I had the halibut. Both fish were fresh, prepared deliciously and tasty. I ended with a cappuccino which was perfectly frothed. I do recommend this restaurant for its fresh fish, stellar service and great cocktails & food. Just be sure to make reservations before you go.
Be the first to Replynot our usual good experience at this restaurant
We have been to Oceana many times and enjoyed the seafood dinners. This recent experience a week ago however was different. We lived in Maryland for over 40 years and I was in the hotel and restaurant business before retiring to Colorado. When I saw lump crab cake on the menu I ordered it, looking forward to one of my favorite things. However, what was served me was not what I expected. Instead of a half baseball size mound of lump crabmeat, I got a round flat looking thing that looked like a McDonald's hamburger. Upon further examination it was clear that there was no "lump" crabmeat in the thing, but just some shredded crabmeat and filler. When I pointed this out to the server she said she would take it back to the chef. When she returned she said the chef said it WAS a lump crab cake. Say What? I asked for the manager and he appeared and supported the chef. To me this was completely unacceptable. I knew full well what I was talking about and this restaurant, known for fine dining, high prices and a Michelin star, was stonewalling me and trying to fool me. Sorry. Obviously I will not go back again, there are a lot of other great restaurants in New York that don't do something like this.
Be the first to ReplyNice vibe. Good service.
While visiting NYC we wanted seafood and tried this restaurant. They offer full menu as well as a pre-theatre 3 course with optional paired wines. On either menu are excellent raw oysters from all over the world. Not enough seasoning or flavor on the branzino fish dish.
