LET THE FLAMES BEGIN
HOW WE SAY "F" IT TO WINTER
OK, Bergenistas.
We need to talk about the “F ” word
And unless you’re currently living in Australia or Chile, you know exactly which one we mean.
It’s the one we’ve all been (not so) secretly dropping under our breath for weeks now.
It sounds X-rated. (and honestly… we just want it to 'X’it.)
So let’s ”F ”ix that. Right now.
What “F ” word are we talking about?
“F ”REEZING.
(What word did you think we meant?)
It’s “F ”ebruary and that nasty "F" ing cold that’s kidnapped our lives like a fugitive squatter,
and has been holding us Bergenites hostage is still here...
and it doesn’t seem to want to leave anytime soon.
So what do we Bergenites do?
We’re tough.
We’re resourceful.
And, luckily, we have a secret weapon.
Welcome to....
Because if winter insists on being feral,
we’re responding with fire, baby!
OCEANOS FIREPLACES
Location:
NIKOLAS ROOM and OCEAN ROOM
We went straight to the Arctic for this one. And it was unanimous.
The #1 way to survive winter (and you don’t have to be abandoned in a snowbank off Route 4 to appreciate this...) is with a fireplace...
(and we've got 2).
First, they warm your hands…
then your mood…
then your entire outlook on winter.
Layers come off, and before we know it,
we actually ‘F ’orget it’s February.
Guests report symptoms like:
Next up ...
choose your "f"laming champion:
LAVRAKi • DOVER SOLE • RED SNAPPER
So... you made it, this far... through the cold. the wind.
The salt. the long, unforgiving walk from car to door.
And then it arrives.
Fresh from the fire. Steaming hot. Crispy, tasty, tender, rich and buttery.
Yup. Winter’s secret to survival comes right out of the fire
with 3 flame-kissed, grilled whole fish choices -
lavraki, dover sole and red snapper
- served, steaming sweet at your table like a victory.
each bite says: you’ve earned this, baby!
This is our Winter payoff, Bergen.
Deeply flavorful... unapologetically restorative...
and ... (ultimately) rewarding.
THIS IS WHY I COME TO OCEANOS
🏆
Winter food with confidence that warms from the inside out and
makes ‘F ’ebruary feel… ‘‘F ’’inally ... ‘F ’orgivable.
and lastly...
Bold reds. Deep pours. Serious anti-freeze.
Think:
Bordeaux blends with structure, warmth, and quiet authority;
Southern Rhône reds ... spicy, generous, soul-coating,
and Velvety Burgundies that melt tension faster than snow on stone.
Some call it science. Others call it therapy.
We call it liquid insulation.
One glass in and suddenly winter is "F "ing "F "abulous.
So there you have it.
All you have to do is come in from the cold.
We’ll handle the rest.
