Sooooo delicious!

We had to wait 1 1/2 hrs. for our table, as opposed to the hour they said, then we were seated in the very back by the kitchen and the lighting was horrible, there were big round...

Disappointing New Year's Eve dinner 12/31/2005

I went to Ocean Grille for dinner on New Year's Eve. We were made to wait for our table despite a reservation. The meal was really expensive & totally underwhelming. The entre's were tasteless, the desserts had to much alcohol which ruined them & the waitress spilled more of the champagne on the table cloth than in the glass. I definitely won't be going back. more

Great Seafood 12/23/2005

Ocean Grill is definately one of the better restaurants in Manhattan. The dress ranges from proper but casual to semi-formal. It is definately a good date place. The food is delish, and the price is reasonable. Try it out! more

Terrible experience 12/18/2005

Horrible noise, thumping music. Had to ask both the hostess and the manager to put on some non-thumping music because it amplified the reverberating din of the diners. A got an annoyed ""I got you point,"" after making a very cordial request. The food was only average, but very overpriced. Pros: Some inventive dishes Cons: Too noisy from diners, Thumping music, Curt manager more

I can't say enough about Ocean Grill. I have taken many friends and family members to this restaurant and I never get sick of their phenomenal seafood. Even their cabernet is delicious. I highly recommend this unpretentious restaurant. Pros: Delicious, Good quality, Unpretentious more

Great Experience 9/30/2005

My wife and I were visiting from Texas and were referred to this restaurant by our hotel concierge. We had a great experience. Part of this was due to sitting outside on a perfect summer night, but the food was delicious and the service good. We had to wait a short time in the bar, and the bartender gave good wine recommendations and even let us taste a couple of choices before we ordered. The waiter did a good job on a crowded evening. The staff was friendly and helpful, not always a given in NYC. The total bill wasn't cheap, but was fair for an excellent overall experience. We will come again. more

Perfect 8/14/2005

This is a wonderful restaraunt. We were seated immediately despite it being very busy. We had the sushi appetizer special which was just delicious and perfect for two. We both had the Wasabi crusted tuna which was magnificent and a generous portion. Our waitress was very attentive and made for a really wonderful evening. We would absolutely go there again and recommend it to friends. Our bill was very reasonable. Pros: Food, service , value more

Great Seafood! 7/18/2005

I went with a group of 5 early on a Sat night with reservations so it wasn't that crowded when we got there. Service, ambiance and food were all great. The things that makes this place stand out for me is that in addition to having the fancy fish dishes they also have everything available simply grilled which is what I like. Everybody I was with had fish and everyone loved their meal. Try the chocolate fondue for dessert - excellent! Place is somewhat noisy but I'd go back. Pros: fish, ambiance Cons: noise , price more

Excellent Fish! 7/17/2005

Great place for a nice meal out. Went with a party 5 early on a Sat. and the food, service and atmosphere were terrific! This is not a bargain place but it's worth it. They have interesting fish dishes and also the option of having a variety of fishes simply grilled if you don't like the complicated stuff. Everything was delicious - especially the chocolate fondue for dessert! Only complaint - extremely loud inside. more

Slip-shod 4/20/2005

The service here is often rushed, inattentive & disorganized. We waited quite awhile for drinks, olive oil, bread (each presented in a seperate trip) and then the kitchen sent out our entrees way before we were finished with our oysters, so they were sent back to sit around in the kitchen. They sent our food out again, but the table was not bussed of our oyster tray, so again, it had to be returned. Waited & waited for more wine. The bill was presented to us featuring two items we had not received (one we had ordered but was later told was 86'd) and the other had been a glass of wine the waiter said was "extra" on his tray--meaning he forgot who ordered it and would we like try it, complimentary of course. I do not take friends here because the service is uncomfortable and embarrassing. more

bad food, good service 2/20/2005

We were kept waiting more than an hour past our reservation time. After we got seated, the service was good, but the food, surprisingly, was not! My french toast was cold and gummy. My friends' dishes also did not look good. There are places with much better food at better prices. Pros: good service Cons: long wait, bad food more
