Oceanos Restaurant

“To create the menu, the restaurant’s owners, the Panteleakis family, have drawn on their Mediterranean heritage for cuisine that is centered on the sea. Top-quality ingredients are treated to time-honored cooking techniques, yet presentations are modern and flavors are fresh and light. Fish is hand-selected each morning at the market, the olives and olive oil are from the family’s own groves in Greece and the wonderfully rustic bread is baked fresh each day in the restaurant’s kitchen.”
