To celebrate iconic Evanston restaurant Oceanique’s 25th year, owners Renee and Mark Grosz decided to mix things up a bit.
When they reopened in late July after their annual summer vacation, the restaurant was renovated from top to bottom, from comfier chairs and tables to new restrooms and a reworked, more inviting bar area. The fresh new look extends to the menu, with an extended selection of small plates in the bar, new craft cocktails and artisanal brews. Now you can pop into the bar for an open-faced Lobster Sandwich on Brioche with togarashi mayo and watercress and wash it down with a glass from Sommelier Philippe Andre’s extensive wine list, or a really great Manhattan. “It was time to reinvigorate – for us and our customers,” shares Chef Mark. “We wanted a feeling that was fresh and new.” Mission accomplished!
