At Ocean Blue we take our food seriously, but not ourselves. We are inspired to create a dining experience where our guests feel welcome and at home in our inviting setting to enjoy quality food, and warm hospitality. Borrowing influence from our most favorite era and styles, Ocean Blue’s interior boasts a mix of elegant black and white décor, a large copper bar, and floor to ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of our city. Perhaps the most striking feature is our vast, open kitchen that allows guests to watch the culinary team in action, preparing our signature dishes. We cook the food, and craft the drinks that make us happy, and we want to extend to you the same feeling. Great service, great food and great drink is not enough. We create an experience. We are a feeling. We are all of the above.

Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse affords Utica diners that want a real challenge the opportunity to give a 24-ounce certified Angus Delmonico steak an attempt. The 16-ounce center cut New York sirloin is nothing to sneeze at either. Not just large, the steaks are full of flavor with perfect seasoning and seared to perfection. The menu at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse doesn’t end there, however. Chicken is also well represented at Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse with dishes such as chicken Sinatra, chicken prosciutto, chicken marsala and chicken riggies. The classics like shrimp scampi, veal parmigiana and lasagna are all available as well. Dessert options such as the homemade cannoli and amaretto cheesecake finish off the meal perfectly.

    Our party of 3 had dinner on a Saturday night recently. It was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the charcuterie plate and scallops with butternut squash to start. One on our party had the filet mignon special, one had the cauliflower steak, and one had the duck confit from the prix fixe menu. Everything was excellent. We finished the meal with the coffee cake and pot de creme. It was one of the best meals we’ve ever had and it’s amazing this place is in my old hometown I rarely get to visit! I loved that there was a prix fixe menu we could order items from. Wonderful place, wonderful service, great space. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in Utica.

    Friendly, helpful staff. Greens are perfect in a community where Utica Greens rule. Tender strip stake perfectly done. Scallops and shrimp just right. Highly recommended.
