context_page_description: Oceanique is a fine dining gourmet French-American cuisine restaurant with a specialty and focus on seafood in Evanston, Illinois. Oceanique has consistently been ranked as the number one seafood restaurant in the Chicago metro area by the Zagat Guide. "Make It Better Magazine" deemed it the best fine dining restaurant in the 2014 Best of the North Shore. It opened in 1989 and has been in business for a total of 25 years. Mark Grosz is the head chef as well as the owner of the establishment. It is located on 505 Main Street two blocks away from the Main St. 'L' Station. Oceanique has an adjoining outdoor patio that customers can use, weather permitting.
context_section_description: Having undergone a complete "facelift" through a remodel in July 2013, Oceanique has enhanced its interior aesthetic and ambience. Oceanique closes annually in the summer for vacation and therefore chose that time to transform from its previous form after 24 years. They went from what "Make it Better Magazine" calls a "country-French look and billowing draperies" to a more contemporary look. Oceanique consists of two dining rooms, with the West Room as the main dining room and the East Room is the room that customers walk into when they enter through the door. The bar is located in the East room. However, after the remodel, the bar area changed and added "a communal trestle table" that provides an extension of the bar to accommodate customers who simply want a drink and eat a small plate or two. It also, provides a waiting area as well.
