You expect to find great food in NYC. Plenty of street vendors, cafés, restaurants. Then, sometimes you want to go upscale. We wanted seafood. Someplace elegant, but not too much. Oceana was a perfect fit. Loved the warm and cozy atmosphere. You enjoy fine wine. They have a deep selection with expert advice. The menu has options for everyone's seafood tastes. Our server was attentive but not pushy. Dessert and after dinner drinks were perfect. A wonderful experience.

Just had my dinner “experience” here. I can now die. I’ve had the best meal of my life!!!!! I am from a seaside town in Sicily and this fish was comparable to the fish that is caught fresh daily. The food just melted in my mouth. It is slightly expensive but the satisfaction was worth every penny. You MUST try this establishment.
Ps.. staff was incredible. Thanks Felipe.

This was a great place for a more unique culinary experience. The restaurant was a bit loud but the food, servers and staff made up for it. We even met some locals who were super nice. The food was great and we enjoyed our dinner.

Delicious food and excellent service. Wine pairings from the sommelier were a perfect complement to our meal. Had a large party of 8 for an early pre-theater meal and they accommodated our timing. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Will come again.

Popped in a little before 5PM and got a spot at the bar, by 5:30PM the place was packed with suits getting a drink before going home. I decided to try the caviar special for $45. The lobster was the best! There were a decent amount of people eating dinner at the bar. Drinks were good but pricey.

Food was delicious with variety across proteins and beautifully plated. June was our waiter, and he was 5-star plus!! He was attentive, genuine, friendly, and efficient. The rest of the serving staff was outstanding as well!
The venue was beautifully set and spacious. Hostess was friendly and accommodated our light luggage, so we didn't need to have them at the table.
Excellent and definitely will return!

Great experience! The oysters Rockefeller were amazing, the best we’ve had of the 3 tried so far in NY. Halibut was perfect & scallops were good as well. They also gave me a complimentary chocolate cake for my birthday and went out of their way to make my meal special!

We just enjoyed an excellent dinner of soft shell crab w/ a snow pea salad. The combination was superb, just the right amount, and the snow peas complimented the crab in a very tasty way. We both enjoyed it very much and recommend it highly!

Dinner at Ocean, started with three Colossal Wild Shrimp, then mixed greens and finished off with my favorite Lobster Scampi pasta. Wish I could make it home like this. Everything as was fresh as usual. In and qut quick for myself.

The service is great. The food overall was a bit too salty for me. The fish was overcooked with skin burned. Dessert was ok.

The place was unobtrusive and cool. I want to come here again, but given the price, it’s normal to attract people.
I had lunch course, swordfish ceviche, grilled fish and parfait.

Oceana service alone gives this establishment 5 stars. From start to end, we were taken care of by all the staff we interacted with. Upon our arrival, we were seated and taken care of. The servicer went over the menu and asked it we had any questions. Although I wasn't a fan of my meal after pointing out my dislikes; they took care of me and made sure I enjoyed the remainder of my meal. The ambiance of this restaurant was upscale, clean, and sheek with intimacy.
The pricing was reasonable for fine dining.
This restaurant is perfect for any occasion, and I'll definitely be returning to their establishment if I'm ever back in New York.

We have been coming to Oceana since they were located in a tiny space across the Elysee hotel. Always a great experience. This meal ~ seafood combo plate, oyster, clams and four huge shrimp… so fresh. Scallops, grilled Cod and nice sides, delicious. Desserts, nice Panna cotta and a really tasty pistachio Semifreddo. The new renovation with shelves and house plants… not as nice as before. Yet, definitely worth a visit.

Love this place. Not too crowded at lunch (dinner is usually crowded). Food is excellent. Prepared well and the wine selection means you can find the perfect complement. Just need to have East Beach Blonds on the menu more frequently!

This was one of the best pre-fixe menus and Christmas dinners my partner and I have had.
Excellent menu, food spectacular, staff very professional and kind, and overall simply elegant and wonderful experience.
We did the Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes 5 course fixed menu which was $125 per person, with the $70 wine pairing. I don't usually go for the wine pairing, but with this and all the dishes being so spectacular and bursting with flavor I HIGHLY recommend getting the paring which comes with every dish. Very knowledgeable and excellent sommelier. He truly brought out the flavor of the wine and the dish.
I would go there again 1000%. There is a coat check as well so you are not cluttered at your table. Great location conveniently right outside of Times Square so it was great for our NYC Christmas trip. They also have a semi-private table with sliding privacy doors if desired for larger parties that is in the middle of the restaurant which is nice not to be secluded.
Also there is a bar or bar tables if you prefer that to the traditional dining area. DEFINITELY make this restaurant part of your NYC trip.
5 star review all around for everything.

Oceana is a loud bustling restaurant that serves seriously good seafood. The waitstaff is professional and helpful. This is not an inexpensive place, but the food and experience are worth the high price.
