Dined at Oceanos for Mother's Day. The cuisine is Seafood/Mediterranean. What a feast! The service..outstanding! Pricey? Looking at the menu, we had a slight case of sticker shock, but once you factor in portion sizes, the prices are not so bad. You get a lot of food for your money. Soooo worth it! We were a party of 3. We ordered alcohol (1 drink ea), 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, 2 desserts and 1 coffee, 1 tea and 1 specialty coffee. The total came to about $180, +tip.
The restaurant is located in a residential area. Valet parking service (that's the norm on weekends). Restaurant is dimly lit. Check in with the maitre d'. Main room is to the left and extends into a smaller, more narrow back room and then there's another dining room to the right of the maitre d'. The room to the right appeared to be a little more brightly lit. The room had more windows or it was a smaller room so the daylight filled the room more. Reservations recommended, but you can also walk in. I made my reservation through Open Table.
So, this meal was out with my family, a small party of 3. We arrived 30 minutes earlier than our reservation. Not a problem, we were seated right away. Restaurant was super busy for Mother's Day. We were seated in the smaller, more narrow room in back. Which was fine with us. It was a little bit quieter than the main room. Plus, the main room was crowded in the sense that there wasn't much room between tables. From start to finish, the wait staff was very attentive, checking on us often to see if we needed anything. They were not overly attentive. They didn't give us that feeling of being rushed like some restaurants can be when they are busy. Our waiter, Walter, was good with making recommendations and answering any questions we had about the menu. The delivery of food, with regards to timing, was also very good. There was a slight lull between entree and

I've been going to Peter's Whale (now Oceanos) for years with my family and we've never been disappointed. If you're gonna eat there, you definitely have to go seafood or surf and turf. With a name like Peter's Whale/Oceanos, you'd expect the seafood to be stellar and it is.

New name but the same owners and the same high quality you have come to expect from Peter and his entire staff. The food and service are both outstanding. If you go when the weather is nice you will truly enjoy the beautiful new garden dining area.

They have changed the name to Oceanos and added a raw bar. I was a longtime employee of the owner's, Peter & Barbara Panteleakis. They really enjoy serving great food and are always open to requests. If you go, please tell Peter, Meg sent you! Their seafood is always fresh and they have great lobster specials and soft shelled crabs in season. They also do a great job for showers and small events. Their location is a little off the beaten path at the end of Saddle River Rd., where it meets up with the 208/4 junction.
