Welcome to Oceana
A French Quarter restaurant with the door always open.
Oceana Grill sits on the corner of Bourbon and Conti, surrounded by the music, the balconies and the nightlife that make the French Quarter what it is. Inside, the kitchen is all Louisiana: Cajun and Creole cooking, Gulf seafood, po-boys and Creole pastas, from a first cup of coffee at 8 AM to a last plate of oysters near 1 AM.
Visitors come for an iconic New Orleans meal; locals come back for the crab cakes, the late kitchen and the private rooms upstairs. However you find us, the welcome is the same.
