This is a wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious and we just love the seasonal specials. The chef is very creative and crafts unique dishes that you will not find anywhere else. The service is extremely attentive. There is also an extraordinary amount of options for people with allergies. We drive 30 minutes to eat here and will be back very soon.

There are plenty of restaurants where you can have a good dinner, but very few that make an evening feel like an occasion. Oceanos is one of those places. My wife and I came for our anniversary, and everything was exceptional. We started with the grilled octopus, which was incredibly tender with just the right amount of char. It set the tone for a fantastic meal. What really impressed us was Mandy. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and effortless hospitality made us feel genuinely taken care of. Nothing felt rushed, and the evening unfolded beautifully. Oceanos understands fine dining. Elegant without being pretentious, polished without feeling stiff. A wonderful place to celebrate something special.

This is our 3rd time coming here since Chef Greg took over. We loved the new menu and were incredibly happy with the Porterhouse steak for 2 dinner. From the cocktails to the appetizers and then the main course and sides everything was perfect. Glad to see that Matisse 167 is not only carrying on the work that Chef Peter did but evolving it to something even more special
