Martinis include the Samari, Urban Turban, Hazelnut, and French martini; we sample each of the martinis mentioned - all were prepared perfectly!
Expect to pay about $30-40 per person, including drinks. - wm, 03/01/2004
My husband and I enjoyed our meal at OYSY last week. The room has a huge picture window facing Grant Park perfect for people watching. Sea-foam walls that draw attention to the many picture windows and blonde wood tabletops and seating give a warm, relaxed feeling. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The martini menu is a must; drinks are original and tasty. I had a couple of Urban Turbans, which had vodka, OJ, and peach schnapps but wasn't too sweet. For my meal I had the Sushi Platter, where $18 got me one maki and 6 pieces of chef's choice sushi. A full plate of maki and nigiri included tuna, shrimp, and yellowtail. My husband created his own meal by combining maki and te-maki options at two per order. He got spicy yellowtail maki, spicy salmon maki, and tuna maki; most are priced in the $4-6 range. There is a Special Maki section on the menu that includes a Caterpillar, which is eel, tobiko, tempura crunch, cucumber, avocado on the outside, and spicy sauce. Grilled options include tuna steak, steak with miso-garlic marinade, and chicken kabobs.
The Cooked section of the menu includes sauteed scallops with garlic-ginger sauce. Also available are tempura dishes and cold dishes such as a salad of grilled asparagus, eggplant, mushroom, and spinach, tossed with lemon dressing. You can combine a few of these non-sushi items for a full meal, or order an entree. With five specialty cocktails, two sushi meals, and tip, our bill was right around $100. We will return!
