Best Seasonal Restaurants in Prospect Heights

Had a wonderful business dinner tonight at Ocean's. This was my 2nd dinner there and as a professional Chef who actively works in the business, both times our whole dining experience was outstanding. Food quality, ambiance, professionalism of our server, timing, value for price paid and ease of reservations was perfect. They made sure to put our table in a quiet area where we could present to our clients - thanks Oceans!

inventive menu.....high quality....not expensive by manhattan standards....terrific wine list!....some rare varietals

The food was incredible . Umami for sure. The staff was also amazing. The woman who seated and served us was extremely helpful and attentive to everyone in the restaurant at once. She ran that room like a pro to say the least. It was New Year's day as well the place was packed on a holiday and the staff was taking care of a full restaurant and take-out orders that seemed non stop for the 90 minutes we were there. They earned and deserved the Michelin star. And I loved the sketches of the restaurant that were hung throughout the restaurant among the many old photos . Will definitely be back soon.

The dinner was spectacular in every way. Hygge in New York! The atmosphere was cozy, congenial and filled with Christmas cheer. Flowers and soft candle light everywhere. The punterelle salad was perfectly dressed with ample anchovies, the sea bream en papillote was tender and infused with deep flavor. Add a perfectly balanced negroni sbagliatto to start and the evening was perfect.

They fit us in and treated our 3 1/2 nicely too. :) Food and service great!
