Profile

This venue is closed.

Alan Stillman's Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group also owns Maloney & Porcelli, Cité, Post House, and Park Avenue Café, among others), Manhattan Ocean Club delivers consistently good, straightforward, fresh seafood with little pretension but in a setting far more refined than the average fish shack. This genre has given way, for the most part, to a more delicate, nouvelle-influenced type of seafood emporium (Le Bernardin, Cello, et al.), but it's reassuring to know the prototype is still available. — Steven A. Shaw

Oceans 8

Exceptionally fresh, high quality seafood, well staged and succulently prepared. Although our table of 8 was squished into a teeny corner upstairs making service diffcult and even obtrusive at times, the staff was congenial and tried their best to accomodate. The hodgepodge of family style shellfish appetizers with a quartet of delectable sauces was among the best we've had in NY or Tokyo. Entrees were generous and varied with selections evoking preparations you might find in Paris, Bangkok or Maine. Dessert was nothing to die for, but with barely any room left in our bellies, we could not have thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. Drink a lot so the blow will be softened when you look at the bill.

Great seafood!

I dined here recently for the first time...the food is delectable and exciting (the chef is formerly from Lespinasse). If you can patiently get through the terrible service, you will be delighted by the food.
