    The meat is outstanding, complemented by the delightful appetizer they serve and the popovers with butter and salt—absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the Caesar salad, NY strip, Wagyu skirt steak, several sides, and finished with the lava cake. Everything was excellent. The service was impeccable too! Love this restaurant!

    Oceana is an excellent choice for pre theater dining. The price fixed three course dinner has diverse options and perfect portion sizes. The restaurant is large and spacious, not your typical NYC space. The wait staff are polite, professional, and accommodating. The location on 6th avenue and 49th is a short walk to the theater district and the food is always delicious!
