Considering we had an early 6 PM reservation, we felt a little rushed, needlessly. The servers were very polite, but they hovered just a little too much. The food was five stars, excellent as usual, and we love coming here. Service just needs to be tweaked a little.

Amazing food and service. We travel 1/2 hour from Saddle River to meet friends from Short Hills, also 1/2 hour away. This will continue to be our meeting point for fabulous dinners. Barbara and her staff are very welcoming.

There are plenty of restaurants where you can have a good dinner, but very few that make an evening feel like an occasion. Oceanos is one of those places. My wife and I came for our anniversary, and everything was exceptional. We started with the grilled octopus, which was incredibly tender with just the right amount of char. It set the tone for a fantastic meal. What really impressed us was Mandy. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and effortless hospitality made us feel genuinely taken care of. Nothing felt rushed, and the evening unfolded beautifully. Oceanos understands fine dining. Elegant without being pretentious, polished without feeling stiff. A wonderful place to celebrate something special.
