OceanaSeafood towerThis one is irreplaceable ... Best seafood tower in NYC ! Don't mind it being pricey when it's that good..
Great wine list too.. A+++5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOceana - pre theaterOceana's food both the theater pre-fixe menu and regular menu, particularly the seafood tray was delicious. Best sirloin streak on fixed price menu that I have has in years. Oysters and desserts were delicious. Desserts were creative and just enough of a sweet to top off the experience. We had reservations at 5:30 before Book of Mormon tickets at 8:00 PM two blocks away at Eugene 0'Neil theater. Perfect evening with friends.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMNot quite the level of theNot quite the level of the old Oceana but close. Food was not as complicated or as exotic as under Rick Moonan and the room is not a "clubby". But extremely enjoyable.y5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMJust what I had in mindFlew from Florida for the night to treat my husband to dinner and a show. Carefully picked Oceana for pre-theater meal. Most of the fod items were truly excellent: salad, sashimi, asparagus soup amuse bouche, incredible cranberry rolls, mahi-mahi, salmon and extraordinary grilled escarole. Waiters had just the right demeanor and provided several extras that made the experience a special one. Plus we were out with plenty of time to get to a 7 PM show. Will definitely go back.5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful venueMy date and I had a wonderful time at this seafood restaurant.
The broiled lobster is delicious. Too bad they ran out of my favorite fish dish (Dover sole).
We also sampled some of their desserts, we recommend the 'Chocolate souffle' and the 'lemongrass cheesecake'.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAbsolutely top notch dining experieAbsolutely top notch in every possible respect!

The restaurant had reserved a nice table for us at a perfect spot in the restaurant. The staff did a great job in making this a special evening for us. We were offered a sparkling wine by the house and also the desert plate carried a congratulations message from chocolate. This was very much appreciated. In addition, the quality of the dishes (fish) was excellent.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first time atThis was our first time at the restaurant. It is a large space, and thus bustling with a noise level, but not so much as to be uncomfortable or annoying. The food was very good, and the wait staff was helpful in describing the dishes. We would go back again if in the area.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experience!!This was my first time at Oceana and it was amazing!!! The staff is so friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu. I'm not a big wine drinker, but the sommellier was really patient with us and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. The food was great, especially the steamed black bass. So yummy. During the meal we saw this huge steak at the table next to us. I wouldn't even think of ordering steak in a seafood restaurant, but it looked incredible. Maybe next time. Which will be very soon.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect for Pre TheaterThe pre theater price fixe may be the best value in NYC - the portions were generous, selections were varied and the pace of the meal was perfect.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful restaurant - greatBeautiful restaurant - great romantic spot for date night. Market fish of the day was mahi and it was excellent.

Unique and amazing cocktails!!!!3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMfood was quite delicious,food was quite delicious, but overpriced for what you get. overall, a very good dining experience.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMSuperbThis was my second visit this week and both experiences were superb. We love everything about this restaurant and is always our go to place.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMFRESH!We had a delightful experience at Oceana. Everything was superb and we appreciated all the attention to details. The service was excellent and we also loved the wine list. The dining room is understated and elegant and there is a very lively bar that is separate from the dining room. We can't wait to return. We are still talking about the oysters!3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place is very classy,This place is very classy, so elegant. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, and as we love seafood, and always love to try new places. We naturally opted for a tower, and extra order of raw clams. Now, I've ordered towers from a lot of different seafood places, and this one was definitely unique. It was enjoyable, and included some delicacies that you don't usually find anywhere or offered in regular seafood towers from places - like cod tongue and raw escargot. Wasn't too keen on those. The raw clams they had was superb, and so were the oysters and mussels. The price of their wine is ridiculously expensive, even by the glass - I think that might be the only complaint I have.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMOceana is an elegant whiteOceana is an elegant white table cloth restaurant and its prices reflect it. The service was very professional and polished but friendly, not overbearing. The dining room is large and well spaced with both table and more intimate booth seating. The menu is heavily seafood as you would expect with both a full menu and a price fixe pre-theater menu. Appetizers, main course (mahi & lobster) and desert (sorbets) were all excellent, well timed and perfectly presented. Thursday night pre-theater was bustling and the bar was very busy with some noise spilling over into the dining room but not to the extent of detracting from our meal.
Overall, the food and service justify the price. A quality dining experience in the heart of mid-town3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food. I had the DoverGreat food.
