The food was amazing. We did the chef’s tasting menu and loved the lobster scampi and sweet corn ravioli. The halibut was just so good I wanted to get another one to eat.

They sure know how to prepare fish and seafood. The branzino was cooked beautifully accompanied by wonderful crisp vegatables. my partner had the Sole and it was wonderful as well. service is always good. When we are in NYC we try to book at least one evening there for a dependably great dining experience

Oceana is a great fine dining experience with a gallant atmosphere and balanced choice of flavors between the many options they have for food and drinks. Out of the appetizers my group tried, the Tuna Tartar was a freshing start to the meal to prep you stomach for the main course and my favorite. For main course, the swordfish was exquisite and while it was not the main entree I chosed, it is one I easily go back for. As for desert, the lemon cheese cake was the cherry on top for my meal is it add the perfect blend of sour and sweet to wrap everything up. Lastly for drinks, a friend had asked the bartenders for their recommendations and they did not disappoint. The Sun Dial and Pep in your Step were both fantastic entries to compliment your meals and acted like a string to tie all the flavors together. Oceana was a fantastic experience and cannot wait to look to dining there again.

I began with a slightly dirty Nolet’s gin martini, stirred not shaken - that was simply perfect ! I ordered a selection of twelve oysters that were fresh, and nicely chilled. I finished with a wonderful Dover Sole and a half bottle of Kisler Chardonnay. A pretty perfect Saturday night dinner for one at the very best Seafood Restaurant in Manhattan.

Very overpriced for the quality of food and service. Didn't have one of the courses that we chose as part of the taster menu...at $95. Caesar salad was poor, had better in the bar down the road. Taster menu is just pick your own 4 courses which were all served really quickly with no break between courses. Had the wine flight to go with the taster menus but felt they were just random wines that didn't match the food. Fish dish was dry. Waiter took drinks away before they were finished. Give this place a miss and save yourself $400+.

My husband and I dined here before a show at Radio City Music Hall. The staff respected our time constraints and made our dining experience memorable. I have a gluten allergy and our server George made sure to explain my options and the chef provided gluten free versions of their offerings. The sommelier was informative and entertaining! Overall, everyone we dealt with was welcoming and professional. The food and special cocktails were delicious. We will definitely return to this fine establishment!

Great food; high prices. Beatuiful restarant with an outstanding winelist. Have been going here on an off for 10 years. Prices have risen to the point where I signficantly reduced my visits and the days of whole grilled fish are gone. Fillets only now. Still great food, but only a fair value compared to other NYC establishments.

My wife and I were looking for a seafood place near the theater district for pre show meal. I had no idea how good Oceana was going to be. The service was impeccable and the food was perfect - I'm still thinking about the yellow tail crudo appetizer. The bar was packed at 5:15 on a hot thursday - the restaurant was quiet but filled up by the time we finished. We hope to return soon.

The wine pairing with Chef’s selection is a fantastic dining experience. We’ve chosen this option both times (Nov 2022 and Sept. 2023), and the food and wine were both fantastic, with the exception of the soft shell crab. It was a big miss…tough, too much tempura. But, the rest of the meal for our party of four, was decadent. Matthew, our sommelier on both visits, is a delight with an expansive knowledge of wine that he conveys in a very relatable manner.

A wonderful experience all around, from the time we walked in until the minute we left. The hostess was friendly and most helpful. Our server, Jorge, was wonderful, as was Jackson, the manager. Service was stellar and very attentive. Now to the food, the stuffed squash flowers were delicious. They were stuffed with ricotta cheese and lightly battered in a tempura type coating and served with a remoulade sauce. I had the lobster scampi, which was a superb preparation and my husband, the salmon, which was, again, an interesting a perfectly cooked preparation. All in all, a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back!!

Pre-theater dinner at Oceana. We love this restaurant and have been there several times. Very attractive and stylish restaurant located right off 6th Avenue on 49th Street. Convenient to Radio City, Rockefeller Center and a short walk to the Broadway theaters. Prices are high, but no more than other fine dining places in NYC. Service was excellent. For dinner, we had the Branzino and the Scottish salmon and both were very well done. Shared a salad for the starter and the lemon cheesecake for dessert. Lemon cheesecake was excellent. Oceana also has a very active bar scene during the week. Go and enjoy!
