I had an event there with about 20 ➕️ others and the dinner was excellent. I don't know how the chef was able to get every person their dishes almost simultaneously and at the peak of the preparation.

Creative, delicious, filling - an absolutely wonderful place for dinner. As a vegetarian, this wouldn't ordinarily be my first choice for dinner plans, but with carnivorous friends in from out of town, I thought we should give it a chance. This was definitely one of my better choices of late. From the fresh warm bread, the complimentary mini appetizer plates, and broccolini to the steaks my friends had, the eggplant dish I had and the delectable desserts, everything was utterly delicious. Our server was thoughtful, helpful without being bothersome, present as needed, but otherwise leading us to take our time and thoroughly enjoy our meals. We will be back.

The food was great... I got the Trio Dish that had their 3 signature dishes. When I say it was Fye... Everything is so well seasoned. I will be back to try something different...

Wow!! We came here for our 8th anniversary and it was magical. Excellent, friendly service who didn’t miss a beat, ever. We got the 7 course meal and only had to pay a bit extra to make it for 2. Also started with happy hour oysters, yum! Every single dish blew us away starting with a cold lobster salad that just melted in my mouth. Our favorite was the sea bass in a red wine reduction. They even brought out two full size desserts! My mouth was so happy, my tummy delighted, and my mood supreme after this wonderful celebration. We will definitely be back!!

The food is absolutely stunning from taste to presentation. We have been to many fine dining establishments and this could be one of the best. Significant restaurant that beats many of the downtown brands. Proud to find this local gem in the north shore.

I tried the white fish, it was expensive and small in portion, and overall was 100+ dollars, wouldn’t recommend, I mean the fish was ok? And this place was far from me, won’t go here again sorry oceanique
We left $500 for a dinner for 2. The quality of food was horrible. Drinks were even worse. We tried 3 different coctails, and they were disgusting. $18 each btw! The staff is amazing, very attentive. Didn't like the ambience. One long couch seat with tons of small tables next to it and chairs on the other side. You sit too close to other diners. Drifts of cold air from front door. But the worse was food. I am absolutely willing to pay good $ for good food, but it was not even decent. They put dry seaweed and bits of pickled veggies everywhere. They killed the taste of oysters - the only think that was initially okay. They have pretense of an elite restaurant, but it's far from it. You need to have a very good chef for it. They mostly cater to older local Evanston couples. If you travel and are used to good restaurants and inventive cuisine - it's not a place for you. You'll be dissapointed. We have so many great places in Chicago and even in suburbs- we are puzzled how this place is still afloat.

Listen the food is beautifully plated, tasty, well-portioned and crafted gorgeously, but Oceanique has a server, tall / curly hair / looks like the critique from Ratatouille...dude was horrendous to spend 2+ hours with. A party of 8, could not have been more disrespectful and staining on a meal. I would recommend this restaurant, but don't take one of his tables or he'll dent your experience. Bruh, go to another restaurant...watch other waiters...just fix your social queues and general approach...be better.

Our New Year's Eve dinner party was perfect! Each of the five courses was a work of visual and gustatory art. The service was superb. The ambiance was wonderfully festive. Happy New Year!

Oceanique is a gem on Main Street in Evanston! Chef Mark creates stunning, seasonal dishes that let the ingredients truly shine—from the Oysters topped with caviar, the Maine Lobster salad, to Scallops with a Thai twist to the most succulent Ora King salmon and a playful Steak & Eggs. Every bite is thoughtful and delicious. Don’t miss their oyster specials or the fun, Day & Night dessert—it’s as charming as it is tasty. Add in an excellent wine list and top-notch service, and you have an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend!
