Oceana New York Reviews from The Last Year
I won't be returning.
Went with business colleagues which was obvious. First problem was when I asked for the wine list a waiter starts pestering me with his recommendations, all $200 plus of course, possibly hoping to embarrass me int just saying yes to one of his overpriced suggestions. I eventually asked him to leave me alone and found the a more reasonable wine at $80- per bottle - still not cheap. Not being familiar with NY oysters I then asked for the fattest oysters on the list. I was quite surprised when they served me 6 of the smallest oysters I have ever seen, the shells were probably 2" inches in length, half the size of a reasonable British oyster. For mains I asked what a Dorade was and was told it was a mediterranean fish, I asked if they had any local fish, they said no. Dorade turned out to be sea bream which was OK and sevred with large leaves of winter greens on top. We ended up spending north of $700- for 5 of us. All in all I was singularly unimpressed. The food was poor (oysters) to average (fish) the selection available limited, wines expensive and the waiters bothersome and surly.
Excellent three course pre theater dinner menu at $55.
On a recent visit to New York we had dinner at Oceana, a seafood restaurant in the base of a skyscraper near the theater district. The restaurant is large and very modern. We ordered the three course price fixed pre theater menu. It was $55 or $95 with wine. I went for the wine option. This included four small pours of wines matched to the different courses. It is good value. The first pour was a small production grower champagne that was excellent. The wine steward talked us through all the wines presented. This one was so good I went home and ordered some from our local wine store. The waiter brought focaccia break with olive oil for dipping. It was quite good. We both opted for the selection of four oysters as our first course. This was served with a Sicilian white wine. A good choice. Our next course was mahi mahi on a bed of mashed potato and broccolini. This was matched either an Italian red wine that was light with little tannin. It was a good choice. Dessert was an upscale version of a creamsicle. This was served in a rocks glass and included a mild orange ice cream (or sorbet) whipped cream and a crunchy base. It was very good. The wine was a tokay from Hungary. This was good too. Are there negatives? The wine list is large but quite expensive. Very few bottles under $100. The a la carte menu is pricy, however the pre theater menu is a great deal, especially in Midtown Manhattan. We plan on returning.

Came here for a work lunch and this little risotto was splendid. Tiramisu was also lovely - very creamy with a toffee crumble. Since it's connected to 1221 I will say the vibes tend to be a littlecorporate-ish though.
Always enjoyed the Pre-Theatre.
Great food and wonderful value. The service is exceptional. The food is really wonderful.
Phenomenal lunch spot. Go if you haven’t!
We went there on a Friday for a casual lunch, and couldn’t have been more impressed. The decor, the service, and the food were all spot on. Pricing is what you would expect for the area, so no surprises. Wish we lived closer and could go more often!
Delicious food and attentive service
We had an absolutely lovely dining experience at Oceania. The service was great - attentive and friendly. And the food was fantastic. I had the Seared Sea Scallops which were like butter... so yum. My husband had the Sea Bass & King Crab Cioppino which was good but not quite as good as the scallops. :) The staff also were thoughtful about the fact we were on a timeline since we had tickets to a show.
Great spot! Menu highlights include the shrimp cocktail,
Great spot! Menu highlights include the shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, lobster pasta, oysters (take their recommendations), grilled swordfish, sticky rice with tuna on top. Their hummus is surprisingly good considering it's a seafood place. Brian, Tony and Miguel are outstanding bartenders. It's a good spot for happy hour or a sit down dinner. Only knock is sometimes the clientele isn't the best, but that's not their fault. Comes with the neighborhood unfortunately. You get the occasional cable news or finance type who think they're better than everyone else and treat the staff like dirt. It's too bad because other than that, it's an excellent place to eat. Beautiful bar and dining room. Really top notch.

Wow, we were blown away by this place! First of all, the ambiance: oh my goodness the interior is so pretty. The first room/bar area is eh, but walk past to the hostess stand and you'll see what I mean. The service: I have nothing negative to say at all. From the second we stepped inside, each employee was kind, personable, and attentive. Our waiter was so wonderful, the perfect balance of attentiveness and not hovering! The food: THE FOOD. We had the crab cake for an appetizer and the sauce that came with it was almost as impressive as the crab cake itself. I had the lobster scampi, and I'm so serious when I say it is one of my top 10 best meals I've ever had. The lobster was not fishy/lobster-y at all. The noodles were the authentic thick-cut noodles you get in Italy. Such an exquisite restaurant, forever on my NYC go to places when I'm in town!!!

I would give it a one star based on food alone but the service was great. That being said I had a tiny portion of Mahi that tasted like rubber for over $50. This place must be a tourist trap because they have a theatre menu. Other than that I have no Idea why people would go here. If you can spend this type of money go to Delfrisco's next door at least you will fill up. I had to get a slice of pizza on the way back to the hotel. And i'm not kidding...and we had appetizers.

Beautiful setting just off Times Square and close to anything Broadway. We went for a pre theater meal and they were prompt and thorough with service. The food was great, definitely loved the delicata squash side dish.
Back to back dinners - first night 4.9 stars / second night 3.9 stars so average 4.4 stars
Went here on a Friday evening and had some great service at dinner! The water pourer would actually have a towel to ensure that none of the water would splatter on the table, we were checked on by multiple waiters several times throughout the meal, and the water glasses were filled every 2-3 minutes / it was very impressive. We started by sharing the lump crab cake - nice portion and good taste. Then I had the scallops which were perfectly cooked (the corn polenta was slightly under) while my friend had the swordfish which was well received. For dessert, we shared the cheese plate where 3 of the 4 cheeses (particularly the blue) were very good. Wines by the glass were reasonable and the meal was so good that we decided to come back the next night for dinner. Unfortunately, Saturday was not as good. The excellent service from Friday disappeared, to the point we needed to track someone down to refill the water glasses. My friend lucked out that the market fish for the pre-theater pre-fixe was mahi mahi, so adding the tasty fish to the mixed greens to start and small cookie plate for dessert was at least affordable. I was not quite as luck, with the roasted beet salad being so-so and then the scallops were clearly not cooked long enough (although this time the corn polenta was spot on). Finally, the chocolate tart was way too rich - so I somewhat regretted coming back the second night. I guess that I would try Oceana again at some point, but at these prices the service needs to be good 100% of the visits, not just half of them
**4.5 stars** What a beautiful restaurant and staff!
**4.5 stars** What a beautiful restaurant and staff! Came here for a business lunch and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the swordfish ceviche appetizer and bronzini for the main. The olive bread that came with our meal was tasty but a bit too oily for more. It did have a nice crust though. The swordfish ceviche was well prepared and tasty. The bronzini over a bed of spinach which was nicely dressed. The bronzini itself; however, was cooked well but was very small. I ordered an espresso to have with my cookies and the pairing was delightful. Service was great and attentive. I would note that it got pretty packed during lunch with a vast majority of folks on a business lunch. Overall it was a great experience but if you're starving, you may opt for something outside the lunch menu.
Service is great.
Crab cakes are good. Branzino is the smallest portion that you have ever seen. One small fillet from a dwarf fish. I have never seen a serving that small.
Quintessential midtown Manhattan seafood restaurant.
Started off with the most delicious focaccia. Burrata was light and airy. Ceviche was tangy with some white strawberries. The best appetizer was the octopus served with pine nuts, harissa and chickpeas. Sheep Milk Ravioli was also an incredibly rich pasta dish. For my entree I had the most delicious Dover sole fillet table side and topped with the most perfect meunière sauce. Dessert options were interesting. I finally settled on the orange dreamsicle parfait with my personal favorite, olive oil cake and topped with orange sorbet. My friend ordered the pistachio semifreddo which was very flavorful as well. Service was excellent. Vibe is very lively especially in the bar area. Highly recommend for post work drinks or work dinners.

Beautiful Restaurant. Excellent Service. Very good food. We got a Lobster Pasta, a mushroom soup and crab cakes. Love return.
Senational Culinary Journey at Oceana: A tasting menu triumph!
Wow! I wanted to share my experience and gratitude for the incredible experience we had at Oceana while celebrating my sister’s birthday. The staff at Oceana, truly made the celebration a resounding success. The outstanding service we received from the hostess who helped keep our surprise, and Matt, the sommelier, who eloquently guided us through the wines, and Jose, our server, whose professionalism and charm added immensely to our enjoyment, was truly exceptional. The chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairing was exquisite. We delighted in the diverse array of appetizers and had the pleasure of savoring every pasta dish on the menu, thanks to the accommodating size of our group. The crabcakes were delightfully light and flaky, and the lobster pasta surpassed expectations – a remarkable feat (I live in Maine)! The filet mignon stood out, cooked to perfection. We are looking forward to planning our next trip to NYC and our next opportunity to explore Oceana's menu whenever we find ourselves in New York. The incredibly delicious food undoubtedly contributed to the evening’s joy, but what truly stood out was the warmth and dedication of Oceana’s team. Our private room added an extra layer of delight, and we’re sincerely thrilled to have such a wonderful space to celebrate in. It was heartening to see the restaurant bustling with activity, a testament to its well-deserved success. The elegant and lovely style was evident in every aspect of our visit, and we left with hearts full of gratitude and admiration and our stomachs satiated. Thank you to everyone at Oceana for creating such a memorable celebration. We look forward to returning!

Short staffed and were told we could not order. Just wanted a drink. So strange! Hostess was incredibly rude.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!
