Oceana

Near the Theater District, this is a strictly first-class seafood restaurant, brightly done in a very stylish Manhattan manner. With a broad menu to choose from, a far-reaching selection of the freshest seafood is artistically presented by a personable and polished team of servers. Besides the lunch and dinner menus, there is a very well priced pre-theater menu on weekends only. The top-of-the-line offerings are truly impressive with a wide selection of oysters and mighty shellfish towers. The ever-changing menu offers such simple fish entrées as blackened grouper or slow-roasted halibut, as well as more complex dishes including scallops la plancha with sweet potato, oyster mushroom, savoy cabbage, paella and shrimp jus. Steak is also on the menu for the non-seafaring.
