Oceans New York

The experience was nothing short of amazing from the restaurant's inviting ambiance to the exceptional taste and presentation of the food. The service was impeccable, making the evening even more enjoyable.I started with the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Served at the perfect temperature, the sauce complemented it beautifully. For my main course, the salmon was outstanding perfectly cooked with an airy, unique sauce that surprised me in the best way. The crispy skin added a delightful texture and brought everything together.To finish, the bread pudding was phenomenal warm, rich, and satisfying. I also had a bite of my friend's cheesecake, which was equally delicious.I'll definitely be returning soon!

We had the pleasure of going to Oceans this weekend. We were immediately seated at a table in the back with a view of the whole restaurant. They have a big bar and fresh fish display outside the open air kitchen.We ordered cocktails to start - the After Glow and the Plaid Fashioned. We also ordered the Spanish Octopus. It was cooked to perfection- the onions and beans seemed weird to me at first but if you had a bite with all the layers, it was the perfect bite. The tuna tartare was SO fresh! I could've ate that by the spoonful!For dinner, we had the halibut and scallops special. I have zero complaints. Whatever sauce the scallops were cooked in was so good. For dessert, we had espresso martinis and the banana Banoffee. It was like a banana pudding/custard with hints of chocolate and Graham cracker. It was delish and it's rare you find a banana dessert on the menu!Can't wait to come back here again :)

Worth every penny! I had this place on my list since visiting the original sibling in Vancouver. Just post Covid we were on vacation and ended up having a superb restaurant at a Canadian seafood specialist. When we inquired about the restaurant, they mentioned that the owners were almost ready to open a location in New York on Park Ave. and so here we are. A few years later but this fish centric hotspot is buzzing and the food is just really wonderful. It is actually surprising how high quality the food was, how stunning the plating was and how on point the service was given how sizable the restaurant is. Feels like it might be in the former Park Avenue Country Club space but my memory might betray me as it's been so many years. Regardless, the space is nice and they have bathrooms on the main level as well as downstairs. Cool Toto toilets to boot. They have a nice wine and cocktail list and bartenders who really aim to please. As part of a birthday celebration, my friends and I split several menu items. To start, we had the wagyu tartare special-yum! We also had the octopus appetizer which was so delicious, cooked to perfection and teeming with flavors that were bright and really worked well together. We also shared a sashimi appetizer with jalapeño. The fish quality was very high. We also shared Branzino grilled and filleted tableside. Friends had the red prawn special and short ribs. All just spot on. Veggie sides were nice. And the blueberry cheesecake was also a nice finishing touch. Can't think of a miss here. It's not the most creative spot in a city filled with unique appt to dine but Oceans serves really lovely food, in civilized yet enjoyable and lively atmosphere with very reliable service. A definite go to.

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 entrees out 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 bathe there's this cute sit down area where you can take photos.

Incredible fresh and delicious fish dishes. The service was amazing and the restaurant is beautiful. The happy hour oysters and drinks were a really good value for NYC. Amazing bourbon selections. All around a memorable evening.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten somewhere when dining out of town, and I decide I must return to this restaurant again before I leave the city in question. That's precisely what happened on this trip to New York City. Over the weekend, we were in town with friends for fun--a Broadway show, the MOMA, dining out, sightseeing, etc. One of our favorite dinners was at Oceans New York. Everyone in our party of four LOVED their foodie-quality meal that night. The service was fantastic, and the setting was very nice. As the name suggests, Oceans is a seafood destination, but several land-dwelling protein choices exist. Everyone in our party opted for seafood. My S.O. had the Sea Bass special, I had the Dover Sole, and both of our companions ordered the Halibut (which they have difficulty finding in Florida, where they live). We also chose a side of Roasted Broccolini for the table. We all felt that our dishes were excellent! The fish was cooked perfectly, and the accouterments were perfectly matched, enhancing the flavor and presentation. We also immensely enjoyed our appetizers (Tuna Tarare x 2, Wild Mushroom Soup, Crab Cake) and the shared dessert (Pavlova).Everyone else returned home after the weekend, but I stayed behind for a few days of business and couldn't help but return for a solo visit after a full day of work nearby. I opted for a lighter meal this time by ordering from the Sushi menu. Once again, everything was exceptional. If it weren't for the work-related dinner event I am attending tonight, I might even visit a third time before heading home to Boston tomorrow afternoon. If you love seafood (or are dining out with friends who do) I highly recommend Oceans!

I was there on expense account which was good bc it seemed a bit pricy for what it is. I think Oceans is going for the triple threat "Big Deal" restaurant: 1. Great/good food; 2. Great service; 3. Great ambiance. I am totally happy for paying up for the trifecta. Service started great - the sommelier is fantastic. We were only ordering 2 half bottles but he took it as seriously as if it was a much larger order. The initial server was also very good - then things went a bit downhill. Improperly fileted fish for one. Hard to get water. These aren't big infractions but if you want the Big Deal designation, it has to be perfect. The ambiance is quite nice but 4 stars not 5. On to the food: the apps were both good but not amazing. Had the tsunami and one other dish I can't remember which tells you how "memorable" it is. The main courses were better. The black cod plate was fantastic - so moist and flavorful. Each added garnish and vegetable added to the dish. A 5+ star dish. The waiter recommended a fish of the day that hadn't made it on the menu, forget what it was, but super fresh. SImple but perfect grill - if only there hadn't been bones. The brussels sprouts were about what you would expect.The sorbet was just good - the berry flavors stood out. The pear dish was actually a chocolate cake type thing with some chopped pear garnish. A bit misleading and not that great. If I take out clients to a "big deal" restaurant, I expect to pay a real premium, but I also expected to get food with more "wow".

We made reservations here because I wanted seafood and my husband wanted to try a Michelin star restaurant.Upon entering, the hostess offered to check our backpack, which was nice. The space is classy but I noticed some patrons wearing t-shirts so I don't think they're strict on dress code.There is complementary focaccia with butter/olive oil served at the beginning of the meal and complementary passion fruit gummy candy served at the end of the meal.We ordered a crab cake and the rocketman roll for appetizers (mostly because my husband was amused at the term "peekytoe" crab lol). They were delicious! As a Japanese person, I'm usually suspicious of western sushi rolls. They tend to have way too many ingredients haphazardly included in them, which leads to flavors that are muddled or overwhelming where you can't appreciate the main ingredient (fish/seafood) of the roll. This roll was delicious! The ingredients complimented each other perfectly without detracting from the fish/crab. Crab cake was full of meat and seasoned/cooked well too.We walked over to the seafood display and decided to share a branzino. It was our first time trying branzino and it was delicious! It's cooked and served to you whole but the server takes off the main pieces of meat and discards the head/skeleton/tail for you (unless of course you want to eat the head/cheeks). The sides were also delicious.Looking back, I kind of wish we ordered entrees from the main menu rather than grilled fish so that we could really appreciate the technique and flavors of a Michelin Star restaurant. The fish was indeed fresh and everything tasted great but that rocketman roll really set the bar high for unique flavors!We shared a lava cake for dessert and they wrote us a happy anniversary on the plate since we noted it on our reservation.I had gone to the restroom to wash my hands and saw the waiter leaving the kitchen with the dessert on the way. When I came back to the table, the dessert wasn't there. I noticed the host grabbed it from a holding area on the side and waited for me to be seated before serving it so that was a nice touch.The bathrooms are along a wall down a hallway in the back of the restaurant. The doors don't really stick out but they're on your right. They have fancy electric toilets like those in Japan so I was a bit overwhelmed at first despite everything being in English lol. There isn't a manual flush handle but when I tried closing the lid, the toilet flushed automatically. On a second visit to the bathroom, I realized there's a flush button on the button pad.Anyway, the service was attentive without being overwhelming. It got quite busy as the evening went on but we didn't feel rushed. It was a great experience!

Turkey enjoyed this seafood restaurant. Wish we had the room to try other seafood items from the menu. Witnessed most people having sushi so guess I must return. Waiter checked in on us which was appreciated. Wait I greatly appreciated was the manager? checking in (short Hispanic man) and even nicely folded our napkins. Overall the ambiance was very classy and seems like an upscale place where business attired individuals like to hang after work.

Truly 5 start experience and price. The bar, the service, the menu, everything is excellent. The wine list is gorgeous with a beautiful red Chateau Margaux by the glass. Perfect complement to an amazing meal. Gorgeous sushi, beautiful restaurant week menu, great appetizers, perfect shrimp cocktail, flavorful ceviche, the most gorgeous salmon preparation ever. Beautifully prepared piece of fish, creamy/frothy carrot sauce, perfect veggies. Rigatoni Neri is a superb example of al dente pasta prepared with seafood that's not hammered and just scrumptious. Expect to pay $100 to $150 per person. Truly worth it.
