Ocean Grill

Seafood with sophistication is the calling card of this welcoming Upper West Side Restuarant. From its ever-popular raw bar, featuring an impressive daily selection of oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp and lobster cocktails, to entree-specialties like Roasted Atlantic Salmon with Blue Crab Stuffing, Artichokes and Caramelized Onions in a Truffle Nage, there's no doubt why seafood lovers, from all over, head to this polished oasis of fresh fruits from the deep. The enticing wine list has been described as "winning" by the 2000 Zagat Survey and has received the Wine Spectator 1999 Award of Excellence. For dessert, the molten Valhrona Chocolate Cake is as breathtaking as it is delicious, served warm with home-made vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberry sauce.

Located directly across from the Museum of Natural History, Ocean Grill's elegant dining room is reminiscent of a luxury liner with oversized mirrors and round porthole windows looking into the kitchen. The adjacent photo room is accented with retro black and white seaside prints. Whether it's dinner and drinks at the bustling outdoor café, or a quick lunch before shopping on Columbus Avenue, Ocean Grill pleases the most scrutinizing seafood lovers.
