About Ocean7 Restaurant, AQUA Bistro & Wine Bar

Ocean7 Restaurant, AQUA Bistro & Wine Bar offers a delightful dining experience with an exquisite atmosphere and excellent service. Guests have enjoyed a wonderful meal and fantastic service from the staff, who are attentive but not intrusive. The steak tartare, seafood pasta, and grilled arctic char, made with fresh and delicious ingredients, are highly recommended. The Caprese, featuring basil ice cream, has been described as magical and a perfect summer treat. The Cheese and Charcuterie board is well curated, offering generous cheese selections, making it a delightful pairing with the sweet Caprese.

The restaurant also provides gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions. The "hashbrowns" and eggs Benedict have been praised as outstanding, and the cocktails are noted to be super creative and delicious. The grounds are lovely and well-landscaped, with an ocean view, creating a sense of paradise. The ambiance is excellent, but it is suggested that management keep the sliding doors closed to minimize nature's presence indoors. The dress code is smart casual, but it's not strictly enforced.

The menu features a variety of dishes, including a delicious French onion soup, a melt-in-your-mouth soft and tender 8oz strip loin steak, and a buttery and tender sablefish dish. The restaurant also serves a popular brioche French toast for brunch. Overall, guests are eager to return to enjoy the beautiful setting and great food.
