Food, service, atmosphere are all good.But the bill is pretty strange.First, I know there is 20% tip for large group.However, they are charging more than 20%.I can pay more for good service, but you cannot charge more without letting me know.Second, they charge credit card fees.I guess this is why they accept American express card.
I would give Oceanique 4.5 stars.I attended Evanston’s version of Chicago’s Restaurant Week with a couple of friends. As always, the fish was prepared to perfection.The house appetizer and pate were delicious, and the in between courses sorbet a welcome touch. The chef occasionally comes out to exchange a few words with the mostly tipsy and aging crowd, a very nice gesture. The place is old school, not a bad thing, but the decor, carpet in particular, could use a revamp.The nostalgia is nice but feels a bit melancholy.Perhaps that’s the half star, which is so subjective, ambiance, but also the prices for small portions, though the place seems to take pride in that exclusivity… but then upgrade the flooring please 😬 (to be fair, one of my companions loved the lived-in old school vibe). This review is based on a January 2023 visit.
Classy restaurant in Evanston with high quality cuisine.Servers were also spectacular! Restaurant is family owned and operated, with Chef Mark Grosz and his wife, Renee Andre.The chef came out several times during the evening to personally check on patrons. For saffron lovers, I highly recommend the bouillabaisse.Family enjoyed the Salmon, Walleye and Filet Mignon.We also ordered quite a few desserts (not pictured as the family dove in before I could snap photos 😂). For a group of 6 we spent $750 including tip so expect to dish out some cash for a full experience.This is not a place you can skimp.
