Came here for restaurant week, was focused on seafood. Justin was so warm and welcoming. Every time passing by and making sure we were enjoying the food 🩵Ambiance: Classy, elegant, chic and sleek. 🍣Food: The foccacia bread was a great way to find out the rest of the food would be amazing. The olive oil was high quality. The Alaskan salmon and rigatoni neri. ⭐️Service: From the hostess to server and manager. Everyone was kind, attentive and made the dining experience wonderful. Highly recommend for a family outing, friends or a date. 10/10 🥁Bonus: The bathrooms downstairs are worth the trip. Beautiful wine corridor on the way, the real towels to wash the hands were a luxurious treat.

FANTASTIC!! I came here with my fiancée, and we had a great experience! We came here to celebrate her birthday, and now we have a new go-to spot. The attentiveness by the wait staff was great and the ambience inside was amazing. Tables were spaced out which was also nice (some restaurants sit the tables super close, which I hate). The only thing was the restaurant was loud inside which made it hard to talk. But the booth-style tables were nice because you can sit next to who you are with. Octopus and Shrimp scampi appetizers were phenomenal! The shrimp scampi was insanely good with the sauce and totally worth the high price. We got extra focaccia bread to dip in the sauce. Lobster roll and salmon were also perfect. The dishes were made perfect and everything went phenomenally well together. For example, the mix of butter and olive oil was unique and tasted amazing (something you don’t really think of). The slices of onion on top of the octopus added a really nice addition to the dish, something that other restaurants/chefs wouldn’t think about adding. Salmon was cooked perfect in a delicious sauce. Overall, a must go

Oceans is my favorite seafood restaurant in New York City. The food is always fresh, expertly prepared, and flavorful but what truly sets it apart is the warm, professional service. The staff is consistently kind and accommodating, making every visit feel special. I also love the atmosphere; the interior design is elegant and modern, yet still feels comfortable and inviting.

Weekend night out with hubby and excellent food & services. The two tiered seafood gave us a good portion to try many items in the menu as starters and saved room to order main courses to share and desserts too. Highly recommend for date nights and their extensive selection of wines added great value.

Great restaurant week menu. Delicious. Courteous. Sumptuous. The filet mignon was so soft that it melted in the mouth. The ceviche was light yet bursting with flavors. The cod and salmon were perfectly cooked but they had very similar sweetness. A bit too sweet. The rice pudding refreshing but was too watery. The cheesecake was super airy. Love it! Will definitely come back especially for entertaining.

We went there for the NYE special menu. For over $250 per person, it was an expensive but satisfying experience. All the dishes were delicious. I especially enjoyed the crab cake - it was genuinely full of crab and very well seasoned. The signature whole black sea bass was amazing. It was only lightly seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil, preserving the natural flavor of the incredibly fresh fish. The dessert was a pleasant surprise. The 3 mini pieces were exquisite and not overly sweet. The waiter started handing out NYE goodies at the end of the meal and everyone was pleased. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

In a city where you truly cannot walk in anywhere without a wait or a reservation (made months in advance!), Oceans is a breath of fresh air and a godsend. My husband and I frequently stop in for dinner at the bar and never have to wait for more than ~10m to be seated. It’s our go-to when we haven’t made plans but want to have a fun dinner out together. The service is amazing (at least at the bar) and food is always very good. Reasonably priced. You should stop by (just don’t steal my bar spot!).

Fabulous restaurant. With a Robust menu, Oceans ensures that everyone gets something they would like. The Willamette Valley Pinot by the glass was excellent and the desert (pictured) stole the show.

The food is absolutely delicious. Their filet mignon is one of the best in NYC, and this was my third visit because of it. Their seafood is incredibly fresh, and the black cod is just so good. But the service… I was expecting much better for a restaurant of this quality. It’s almost sad that they seem to have plenty of staff, yet it still feels understaffed. It’s hard to get ahold of a server for anything except when placing the initial order and when paying the bill. I noticed other tables having the same issue, trying to flag down any server who walked by to clear plates or order something extra. Once the food arrives, the servers seem to pay far less attention to the tables. We found ourselves trying to catch our server’s eye just to ask for something, and eventually we gave up on ordering more. I revisited solely because of the food which was worth it. After three tries, I think that’s enough. I don’t think I’ll be back.

Had the best sashimi I’ve ever had in my life! Aesthetically and taste wise it was perfect. I dipped it in the sauce the shrimp came with and it was amazing wow. What I didn’t like about my experience was the fact that they brought out our entrees while my friend and I were in the restroom. They should’ve waited. By the time we came back my food was cold and I told the server about it. He took it back to get it heated up but that made it a little dry. Going towards the bathroom there’s this cute sit down area where you can take photos.
