Urgent NYC Seafood Help Needed

[ejs1492]

Can someone recommend a restaurant with great seafood in Manhattan for dinner tonight? Would prefer something upscale, burt where wife and I would feel comfortable wearing jeans (nice, of course)

Any part of Manhattan is fine with us.....price isn't an issue

Tried to get into Balthazar but they were booked,....

Thanks much.
EJS.

Ocean grill has always been a favorite. Very nice seafood at reasonable prices, great service, nice atmosphere.
We were really disappointed with Oceana - very expensive and no where near worth it.
Also Blue Water Grill in union square. It's owned by the same group as Ocean's Grill and in my opinion isn't as good but the location's better and it's an oK alternative.

We ended up at Ocean Grill on the UWS and really enjoyed it. I had the blackened merluza ($28) and we shared the Seafood Castle. ($75) We're in town from Scottsdale, AZ, and thought that this was a trememdous value. We would have paid close to double that for a comparable meal in Scottsdale.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Aquagrill is great if you can get reservations.
