Based on reviews I was concerned as Bazar Mar was one of my favorite restaurants in MIA. Decided to give it a go and we had a wonderful dinner. Ordered from the regular menu and was amazed at the flavor journey with each bite. The menu is smaller than the former MIA location but just as amazing. The cocktails did not disappoint!

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.

It would have been perfect but done couple had very young kids jumping in stools at sushi bar yelling nonstop and literally coughing over the food they were prepping. Was shocked no one said or did anything.

We enjoyed our time at Odo in the lounge area which is basically a wide sushi bar in a lovely private room that was once a speakeasy. Fun! The service was relaxed, professional and precise. Each course of food was well plated and very tasty. Truly elevated “bar bites” in the Japanese way is one way they could be described. The premier sake flight consisting of three distinct varieties was lovely. I highly recommend Odo, but do realize it is a rather expensive venue. There is also formal sit down dining in two additional rooms.
