The Scene
Oceanique's two rooms are simple and classy, with a draped ceiling and framed French posters on textured maroon-and-gold walls. Great for special occasions, it's also popular with Evanston corporate types. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.
The Food
Seafood is the name of the game, but there is a smattering of red-meat dishes. Dishes are lovely and carefully presented: Chunks of chilled Maine lobster are tucked in a parcel of asparagus and shredded cucumber in one starter; grilled calamari and shrimp are a light, refreshing plate of tender meat drizzled with subtle vinaigrette. A meaty, dense steak of turbot is paired with delicate fingerling potatoes and fava beans, while seared bluefin tuna is spiky with pepper, cooked rare, and paired with snap peas and corn in husky merlot-tarragon sauce. For dessert, the ''Day and Night'' combines chocolate cake with chantilly whipped cream and layers of chocolate mousse and dark Belgian chocolate.
