    This is and continues to be one of my all time favorite restaurants. At this visit I was helped by the in house Sommelier, Brian. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and understood what my guest and I wanted. He suggested a very good bottle that was certainly enjoyed! The food paired well with the wine choice and as usual all the other items were perfect. Great service and great food! Kuddos to the hostess with the mostess who always greets me by name! What a lovely thing especially these days! Thanks as always for creating a great experience.

    The food is great and ambience is nice. But the service was lacking. We were put in a terrible table near the kitchen. They moved us upon request. But it took a long time for the waiter to take our order, and a long time for someone to refill our wine glasses. There was a sense that we didn’t really matter.
    Oceans - New YorkResponded on June 30, 2025
    Hello Celeste, Thank you for taking the time to review Oceans. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our food and found our ambiance to be nice. However, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the service and the original seating. We pride ourselves on our attentive and prompt service, and it seems we fell short during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely use it to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide the exceptional service you deserve. Best regards, The Management Team
