Need recommendation - Theater district
My husband and I will be in NYC on Saturday night for a show. We are both on the South Beach Diet and need a place that has a varied fish menu. Does anyone have any favorites. We would like to be near the Theater district but would walk to other areas.
I highly recommend Oceana, on the corner of 6th Av. & 49th St. (street level of the McGraw Hill Bldg.) . Superb fish and seafood, excellent service, comfortable and attractive setting.

If Oceana fits the budget I would recommend it highly also. The food is very creative and delicious.

Some of the best (& therefore most expensive) Greek food in the city is a couple of blocks east of the theater district: Estiatorio Milos and Anthos are both in the 50s around 6th Ave, and both have extensive seafood options. Molyvos is in the same area, but unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe they're as fish-centric.

Haven't been to Milos, but we were at Molyvos recently. They've got a quite sizable fish on ice display in the bar room. We opted for a few small plates, one of which was an excellent sea scallops and Scottish salmon duo.

If it's not too late to get a table, you should also consider Esca. They do a nice job with Italian-styled grilled fishes

I'll second Oceana (with the caveat that I haven't been recently) as well as Esca and Estatoria Milos. Also worth looking at are Marea.
Also, for some exquisite sushi / sashimi, you could do Sushi of Gari 46 - and a at a (slightly) lower price point, there's Blue Ribbon Sushi.
And of course, there's that Masa place...

An inexpensive option is Dafni, on 42nd between 8th and 9th. Their grilled fish is perfect (you can gt it whole or in fillets) and there are other fish/shrimp dishes on the menu. Nice room, not facy, but not expensive either.
