Private Dining

We look forward to hosting your event at Oceana and making your next gathering a success. Our private dining areas offer beautiful, inviting spaces to celebrate with co-workers, colleagues, friends and loved ones while our customizable menus create a dining experience that is uniquely suited to your special occasion.

Our modernized private dining spaces, complete with commissioned works from artist Kyvèli Zoi , a graduate of NYC’s prestigious School of Visual Arts, offer options to accommodate a variety of special events like weddings, meetings, presentations and wine dinners.  Our exceptional cuisine, graceful service, and central location make Oceana the ideal destination for business functions and personal celebrations alike.

The Wine Room, Grand Salon, Salon North, and Salon South are unique and flexible settings for private events, while The Café offers a more casual setting for informal, semi-private gatherings and customizable cocktail parties. For an outdoor event, both the West Park Beer Garden and the spectacular Park at Oceana – complete with specialty lighting and water feature – are open in the evenings and on the weekends during the warmer months. The entirety of Oceana is available for weddings and larger soirees.

Private Dining Rooms

THE WINE ROOM

Named for its floor-to-ceiling display of Oceana’s magnificent wine selection, this room provides a dramatic backdrop for events with up to 18* guests. Decorative glass panels admit the natural light and ambience of the main dining room while ensuring complete privacy. As part of Oceana’s redesign, two custom art pieces by Athens-based artist Kyvèli Zoi flank The Wine Room walls. Titled Life is a Game, the series depicts a large gathering of friends, which perfectly captures an intimate and festive event at Oceana.

THE SALON NORTH

Tucked in the back corner of the restaurant, featuring two walls of windows and dark wood, this private space can accommodate up to 30* seated guests and up to 50* guests for a standing reception.

THE SALON SOUTH

Featuring dark wood and windows overlooking The Park at Oceana, this private space can accommodate up to 50* seated guests and up to 70* guests for a standing reception.

THE GRAND SALON

This airy space offers the most variety of configurations, combining The Salon South and The Salon North, to create a space for a maximum of 96* guests seated or 120* guests standing. The Salons also feature works by Zoi. Her Drama Must Remain on Stage series serves as a nod to Broadway’s famed theatres.

THE PARK AT OCEANA

In the warmer months, The Park at Oceana offers an outdoor venue for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres when used in conjunction with one of our private Salons. The space is only accessible on the weekends.

THE CHEF’S TABLE

Set inside the bustling kitchen, this private table for four offers a unique view of our team in action. Guests enjoy an intimate dining experience with a behind-the-scenes look at the care and craftsmanship that go into the preparation of our dishes. Seasonal tasting menus can be arranged for your pleasure.

THE CHEF’S COUNTER
PERGOLA NOOK

These two distinctive additions to our restaurant create an atmosphere of intimacy within our main dining area. Both located close to the action just outside our open kitchen, the Pergola Nook can accommodate up to 14 seated guests while the Chef’s Counter comfortably seats 6.

THE CAFE AND PATIO

From a casual meeting at adjacent high top tables to a cordoned off area for a more formal reception, we can accommodate groups of 8 to 80* guests year round in our café area and in the warmer months, al fresco on our adjacent patio.  The areas are generally not available for reservations, but groups are welcome to book in advance through our events department.

WEST PARK BEER GARDEN

Host your next event in this casual, open-air space featuring communal tables and regionally-sourced beer. The beer garden is located in the breezeway between West 48th and West 49th Streets, with an entrance on 49th Street in the center of the block.

Our event staff can assist with planning every detail for the most elegant and memorable celebration. Please contact our team via the email address or phone number below to plan your next event.
