"One of the Best Seafood Spots in NYC! From the moment we walked in, the hostess set the stage for an amazing dinner experience—so professional and pleasant. The service was top-notch, with an incredibly attentive staff. A special shout-out to the gentleman from Bangladesh, who made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. I dined with a friend, and we started with oysters—fresh from the ocean (pun totally intended!) and absolutely delicious. For my main course, I had the Pandora fish as a substitute for red snapper, and it was outstanding, beautifully presented. My friend chose the black cod, another excellent choice with incredible flavor and freshness. The restaurant has the vibe of a high-end spot, reminiscent of its Michelin star in 2022. I’ll happily recommend Oceans to friends and family visiting from out of town as a fantastic option for something special beyond the usual holiday dinner. Can’t wait to go back—this is a must-visit!"

"Always a go-to for great seafood. The whole fish selections are consistently impressive, and the whole fish sashimi and toro tartare are my favorites. Service is always impeccable, and the dining room is both elegant and spacious. A reliable standout every time!"

"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."

"A restaurant with high ceilings and nice decor. The service was impeccable and friendly from the moment we arrived. Brian, our server, was extremely pleasant and helpful in explaining the menu and in accommodating our dietary requirements. We couldn't have asked for better service. He recommended the squid ink risotto with king crab meat and white truffles as one of our main courses and the dish was delicious. The mushroom soup was tasty with a rich and intense flavour. The crab cake starter was delicious with chunks of fresh crab meat and minimal binders. The Hokkaido scallops were fresh and cooked just right (crispy crust and tender inside). The Molten cake dessert was super yummy."

"I had an amazing dining experience at Ocean Restaurant in NYC! The seafood was incredibly fresh and delicious. I tried the sea bream and sushi, both of which were beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The King Crab with Shrimp Scampi was a standout dish—fresh, perfectly cooked, and absolutely satisfying. On top of the fantastic food, the staff were kind and provided excellent, attentive service."
