Oceania Seafood and Bar — Restaurant in New York

We had the pleasure of dining at the recently inaugurated Oceania Seafood and Bar, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. This establishment stands out in Flushing as it introduces an array of exquisite French cuisine options. The flavors are not only delectable but also genuinely authentic.

Allow me to provide an honest appraisal of the dishes we savored:

Appetizers: Our choices included Escargot and the pièce de résistance, Foie Gras. The Escargot was refreshingly seasoned with a blend of cheese and spices. However, it's the Foie Gras that stole the show. It was the epitome of tenderness and melt-in-your-mouth perfection, setting a new standard for this dish.

Main Course: The Wellington steak, ordered medium rare, was an absolute triumph. Its succulence and tenderness were evident whether savored with the puffed pastry or independently. This dish is designed for indulgence and even comes in generous portions for sharing.

Desserts: The Crème Brûlée and Tiramisu brought a splendid conclusion to our meal. The Crème Brûlée showcased the finesse of experienced craftsmanship, with its velvety custard base and perfectly cracked caramel crust. The Tiramisu, freshly prepared, was a testament to superior quality, distinctly superior to its counterparts found in less esteemed establishments.

Beverages: The Tequila Sunrise and Long Island Iced Tea complemented our dishes impeccably. I later discovered an off-menu gem – Rainbow Shots. Despite not being listed, they are available upon request. Needless to say, I'll be indulging in those on my next visit.

The staff's courtesy and prompt service were noteworthy. They swiftly attended to our needs and ensured our dining experience was seamless. The restaurant's immaculate cleanliness and thoughtfully designed ambiance contribute to an overall perfect setting. Notably, an expansive dynamic LED wall adorns one side of the establishment, morphing into customized animations to suit the occasion. Witnessing it shift from an aquatic scene to a "Happy Birthday" message in an instant was captivating.

The pricing at Oceania is notably reasonable, making it an inviting choice for a satisfying dining experience. Indulging in their delectable desserts and beverages won't set you back more than $10, and when it comes to the main course, you'll find that most options comfortably fall within the $40 range. This translates to an affordable overall dining expense, generally coming in at under $50 per person for a complete and fulfilling meal. There's a plethora of enticing options yet to explore. Given the generous portion sizes, we regrettably had to defer some dishes for our next visit. Notable options include Kumamoto Oysters and Roast Lamb Chops. Oceania is undeniably a hidden treasure in Flushing, with its recent opening making it all the more intriguing. If you find yourself in the area, this establishment warrants a visit – it's an experience you won't...

A Hidden Gem of Asian Fusion French Cuisine in Flushing

I recently stumbled upon a unique spot in Flushing that serves Asian fusion French food, tucked away in a walk-down basement. The ambiance was intriguing, with a cozy little bar and seating area. What really caught my eye was the LED wall display, creating an underwater oceanic vibe.

The menu offered traditional French cuisine with a twist. My husband and I were blown away by both the menu and the interior design. We started with escargot as an appetizer, paired with their famous foie gras. For our main course, we chose the beef Wellington. To our surprise, since we spent over $150, they included a complimentary seafood entrée that featured a whole lobster and stone crab.

The food was exceptional, with subtle tweaks to cater to an Asian palate, which I really appreciated. We also enjoyed some beautifully crafted cocktails, which were as delicious as they were visually appealing. For dessert, we couldn’t resist the crème brûlée and the rice cake, which was the perfect finish to a fantastic meal.

Overall, the experience was wonderful, and we’ll definitely be coming back to explore more...

We came here on Christmas Eve with my mom for a Christmas set dinner of 4. We started with 3 appetizers, apples and ham salad, shrimp cocktail, and French escargot. Appetizers were great but not able to evenly split into 4; then followed by 3 main entrées, grilled steak, Beef Wellington, and roast goose. Beef Wellington was so tender, but the steak was a little bit raw since we asked for medium rare. We were not fans of roast goose. I thought we had one more to choose. I'd rather choose lamb chops instead of goose. The main dishes were not hot enough and tasted bland. One strange thing was that the soups came after the main dishes. They should be served with the dinner rolls. The cream of clams/mushroom soups tasted good, but we wish the portion was not that little. Lastly, we had a piece of Christmas cake, 2 creme brulees, and a fruit pudding. The cake was too sweet. Creme brulee and pudding were pretty good. My mom can't eat much, so I was just enough to fill up but a bit under filled for the other 2 men. However, if we're four young men, then definitely the dinner set won't fit enough. Anyway, the service and food setting...
