Wonderful dining experience at Oceana. The service was impeccable, food delicious, and ambiance was just right for my birthday dinner. We ordered the pre-theater menu items, chose seafood, i.e., calamari, oysters, skate, fruitti de mare, and a delicious parfait dessert. To top it off a chocolate mousse cake was brought to the table with a candle. Needless to say, we’ll be back the next time in NYC!

Amazing place, music was excellent, great service, cocktails were amazing. Thought the food was good but a little overpriced for what we got. The live band made up for it though, great night out.
