This was my third visit to Oceana. It had been a number of years since I last ate there but I was extremely excited at the prospect of dining there. The past visits were very memorable. It was a standout among the many NYC restaurants. This visit however, was a huge disappointment. It was the middle of restaurant week. We... more

For a 4 diamond restaurant I thought that it was just ok. It is no comparison at all to Milos, if you like seafood. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the food, just in comparison to other restaurants I have been too, this one was average. For appetizers...I ordered the bay scallops. You got about 6 scallops,... more

Skip this one and go directly to Le Bernardine. The crab rissotto just about did my teeth in , biting chunks of shell and then so elegantly trying to fish them out of my mouth and spit them on my plate. The rice was also short cooking time. The main dish sole was beautifully presented but the artichoke sauce was... more

Oceana is a true gem. Quaint setting, relaxed yet attentive service, amazing food. Read many reviews on too many places and settled on Oceana for a pre theater dinner during our long weekend visit to New York. Appetizers, scallops and crab cakes were some of the best we have ever had. Halibut and Sea Bass entrees were complimented with some... more

I was looking for a seafood restaurant to take my girlfriend for her birthday and after reading reviews here, I decided to give it a try. You can place reservations through their website, but when we arrived, there were plenty of seating available. The decor looked like how a dining area of an old luxury ocean liner would be and... more
