Do you know what went well... Everything! Will, was our server, and he was excellent and deserves a raise! The way he described the dishes, made you want it badly. He knew exactly how to sell each dish with his warm smile, great expertise, and ease. Even though they didn't have the office that we wanted, he was able to sell us on a different fish to share. We weren't going to get an appetizer, but the way he sold us on the Caesar salad to us over until our meal came was an excellent choice. I never felt like he was a salesperson, but instead, a person that knew exactly how to make us want to try everything. I love the espresso martini. I loved the food, but especially the service!

The food was delicious, service was good and the ambiance up to expectations. Pricey experience but enjoyable!

Pricey but delicious. Elegant spacious attractive dining room. Delicious food on all 3-4 of my visits. Even my impossible-to-please sister enjoyed the food. I've had sushi, octopus, halibut, salmon, everything was great. Attentive service. On one of my more recent visits, there was also a delicious purple cocktail called Afterglow. Mmm. Wheelchair accessibility note: There is ramp access, plenty of space in the dining room, and a wheelchair accessible bathroom.

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!

The ceviche was very good, as were the other dishes, but this was the most memorable out of everything we ate. The service went far and beyond what we would have expected, given the lack of a Michelin star.

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!

The food here is sooooo good. We got a number of things for our very large group but I only had time to photograph two. Amongst items I didn't capture, we got the seafood tower, the tuna tartare, crab cakes, and cod. This is such a great spot for a work dinner or a more intimate date.

The best kept restaurant secret in NY! This place gets little love when talking about the great restaurants, but it deserves all the accolades. Their fresh seafood is as good as ANY in the city, and their land fare (beef, chicken, veggie) is just as good. I've been here at least ten different times during all seasons and the food is always fantastic. Their oysters are fresh and perfect, their sushi makes you feel like you're in some tiny Japanese joint, and their steaks are cooked to perfection. But the two best things are the bar - where every single bartender I have encountered is not only great at mixing drinks, but friendly and attentive. Which leads me to the best part of Oceans - the staff. The service here is world class. From the hostess at the door, to the bartenders, to the servers and backwaiters - everyone is excellent. It is a testament to the GM and management team. OCEANS is simply one of the best run restaurants in New York.

Oceans is a great place to visit. The ambiance is great, it's cozy and stylish, more on a perfect date side. Reservation was easy to make, their staff was very friendly too. I loved everything off the menu, but not many appetizer choices. But overall the food was great. I tried their sea bass, lobster mac and cheese (the best!) and broccolini. The fish had nice flavors and was very well presented. I was confused with bathrooms flushing system and my friends too haha. I am sure they get this a lot, it worked out in the end but took some time. I would be back here for sure!
