I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!

Phenomenal experience, yet again. This was my favorite new restaurant of 2020/21 and has continued to impress. The whole fish sashimi is incredible. Service is impeccable. The staff makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. Oceans is a jewel in the Union Square crown of restaurants.
