The food at Oceans is always delicious, but it's Anetta who truly makes the experience special. She is the best server—attentive, caring, warm, and incredibly on top of everything. Oceans is lucky to have her on their team. While we return for the amazing food, it's Anetta's exceptional service that keeps us coming back. I’ll always request her as my server. Thank you, Anetta, for making every visit unforgettable!

I usually order the Dover Sole here because it is nonpareil in the big ocean of seafood dishes. But last night I had the crab cake (very very yummy, well balanced, big chunks of crab) and the langoustine special. At first, I was taken aback by the squid ink pasta. I expected a fettucine, but it came with rigatoni and looked a bit dry. Oh no! It was perfectly al dente and the flavors of the pasta and dry-ish sauce were just amazing. The langoustine and other shrimp were very tender and tasty as well. Blueberry cheesecake to finish it off, bravo! A lovely early dinner on a Friday night!

For a “busy” restaurant, you can have a romantic experience. We have gone there for a few birthday celebrations and a few to just celebrate life. Each time we have felt special and the food has been amazing.

In NYC there’s many restaurants to choose from when you’re a repeat customer to a restaurant it’s a stand out. Our party of 3 shared everything. We delighted in the Rocketman Roll. Cod and cauliflower steak. Banoffi for dessert.
