The food was excellent. We indicated that we had tickets for a show later and the meal was paced in a way that we weren’t rushed but were easily able to get to the theater. We have plans to see more shows in NYC and would definitely think of returning to Oceana.

We dined here following a show and to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is lovely, service was top notch - attentive but not intrusive, food was wonderful and a special birthday dessert with wine to match, was unexpectedly over the top. Would definitely return when in NYC.

We were fortunate enough to eat at 4 nice restaurants during our trip in NY and this one was the best. Everything from location to the service and the food was near perfect. I ordered the swordfish and wife ordered the $92 breaded soul fish which was amazing. The service was impressive thanks to the server, Alejandra, and her staff. You won’t be disappointed eating here!

Had the best time! It was rockin’ and lively atmosphere, but tis the season! We wouldn’t have it any other way. Feels just it did when we were here 5 years ago. The staff is amazingly friendly and the food and oysters are out of this world! So glad they made it through the pandemic so we could enjoy again!!

We came to visit New York with our 11 and 13 year old sons for the first time's and we were so excited to dine at Oceana. It was going to be our one “fancy” dinner of the trip The hostess was very welcoming and sweet. But things took a sharp turn when our server arrived. He seemed beyond annoyed that there were kids at his table. Before we arrived at the restaurant, I called and asked if there we’d a kids menu and they stated that there were many kid friendly item to choose from including spaghetti, hamburgers, noodles and sliders. When I asked the server about the kids choices, he said flatly “we don’t have one”. I informed him of the conversation that I had had when I called earlier and he proceeded to say “well, I’m sorry they misinformed you”. “We do not have kids meals”. My husband and I planned on partaking in the $175 per person chef tasting menu with wine pairing but the server said that he would have to ask permission for us to do that since our kids were not doing the same. He came back a short while later and informed us that HE made the decision to “let” us order from that menu. LET US?? To say the least, I was heartbroken that our dinner went so badly. We wanted to show our sons something new and different and the server treated us horribly. A complete waste of $400 😞😞

We are longtime fine-dining restaurateurs. We don’t get to NYC but once a year during this super busy time and have never been able to book here. Our first experience was perfect from start to finish. Fabulous food, professional service, great cocktail and wine list (fantastic Sommelier!). The restaurant is beautiful and the sound level (we had our grand kids) was wonderful for our conversations and fun together! We will be back. Bravo!

Excellent lunch- we were able to reserve in advance for after Radio City Rockettes Christmas show, convenient short walk. Beautiful restaurant, comfortable, immaculate, food and service were excellent. When I made the reservation, I marked that we are visiting NY celebrating my mom’s birthday, and they brought the most delicious chocolate cake! It was wonderful!

Delicious seafood, attentive service even in a very busy evening. The restaurant was very loud , but that could be because of the holiday season and parties in the adjoining bar. We would recommend to anyone in Midtown searching for a nice seafood meal.
