Best Seafood Restaurants in Woodside

Our experience was excellent. We arrived early but were seated right away. Service was excellent. I had the Rib Eye and my wife had the Fillet. They were cooked to perfection and excellent cuts of meat. We had asparagus and mushrooms as sides. Both portions were large and nicely prepared. We skipped desert and opted just for coffee. It was our first time at Ocean Prime and we were very happy.

Panos was such a great waiter! Very attentive and gave great recommendations.Definitely get the octopus, so tender and tasty.

Loved Oceana and will definitely return, easily the best restaurant near(ish) the theater district. I booked for Valentine's Day based on the menu online, when they called me to confirm a few days before they made a point of letting me know there was a four-course prix fixe for V-Day. Considerate! Although I must say: there were 5-6 choices for each of the courses so it was hardly a skimpy menu. My wife got the wine pairing with her meal and the sommelier was really informative, explaining not just the wine but why he paired it (we love that kind of stuff). Not all the dishes were homeruns, but all were above average. My appetizer of scallop crudo topped with caviar was one of the homeruns, I'd return for that dish; and for the "smores budino" dessert (which was served in big bowl, I expected it in a glass) -- it was a huge portion, very much shareable. My wife's beet salad was very good. The chef seems to really prioritize contrasting textures in all the dishes, which I love. My cocktail was also good (a Penicillin but with tequila instead of whiskey), tasty, not too sweet -- and not too strong. Space is great, high ceilings, not jammed in next to everyone (but close enough that we did eavesdrop on some hilarious conversations). Wait staff was there when you wanted them, absent when you wanted space. Excellent all around.

By far one of the very best meals and experiences I have had! We went to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and everyone went over and beyond to make us feel special and celebrated. The food was amazing, the staff was wonderful from the greater, the bartender, to our waiters and the manager. Perfect night in the city and such a beautiful view from our perfect booth! Cannot thank you enough and can’t wait to go back!

Excellent food and service. Great pre-theatre location. Gets even busier as that first seating heads to the shows.
