Brian, Anita, Parvez- thank you for making our evening most amazing. We came to celebrate our daughter winning a prestigious award, and you made the celebration so much more. Food- amazing as always, drinks- woooo, and the beautiful array of house desserts, a gift for our table, just decadent. There is a reason we come back to this institution of fine dining in NY.

Spectacular dining! The ambiance is upscale without being pretentious. Our server, Cory, and manager, Stephanie, were an absolute blast! All of their recommendations were spot on. Service was prompt but we didn’t feel rushed in the least. The crab leg app was my favorite but the popular Rocketman sushi roll was a super close second. Would recommend to anyone in NY for a special occasion or a regular Tuesday!
Oceans - New YorkResponded 2 days ago
Hi Victoria, Thank you for such a glowing and joy-filled review! We’re so happy to hear that your experience hit all the right notes—from the warm, elevated atmosphere to the standout service from Cory and Stephanie. They’ll be thrilled to know their recommendations landed perfectly. We’re also glad you loved the king crab and our Rocketman roll, two favorites that showcase what we love about the Oceans menu: bold flavors and fresh execution. Whether it’s a celebration or just a Tuesday that deserves something special, we can’t wait to welcome you back. Thank you

As always, Ocean's delivers a high quality dining experience. The food is always delicious - sushi melts in your mouth, there is always an abundance of fresh fish to choose from for grilling or sashimi plus they have you covered if you are not into fish but prefer a steak. The service is exceptional - servers, bartenders, hosts, hostesses.......the service matches the food - top notch!

Delivering exceptional service alongside standout food is what we strive for, and we're grateful to have guests like you who notice the details. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon.
