If you’re a regular commuter to downtown Minneapolis you may have already seen our new signage going up and construction in full swing. Word is starting to spread and preparations are well at hand. The move is on.
Although we have enjoyed over 13 years in the Hyatt Regency we have heard the beckoning of Minneapolis’s core and we are making the half mile move. 6th and Nicollet will be our new corner, NW corner to be exact. Right on the way to the Dome or if you’re walking West, we’re right on the way to Target Field.
“We are thrilled about our upcoming move and look forward to sharing our new location with the community,” said Rick Kimmes, General Manager. “We are working hard to create an even better dining experience for our loyal patrons.”
Your dining experience will continue to feature ultra-fresh seafood and ultra-attentive service. In addition there will be some new amenities added to the new location; Outdoor dining, convenient skyway access and drive-up valet parking are just a few.
The excitement is building as our new space is remodeled, the new signage is being built and the staff is preparing for the January 2012 opening. ”I am excited to be serving our Ultra-Fresh Seafood in an Ultra-Fresh atmosphere! Oceanaire‘s taking steps towards the future while maintaining the same faces and food that have made us successful for over 13 years,” remarked Jake Uttich, Executive Chef for Oceanaire Minneapolis. We have always been known for bringing in new and interesting things to the Minneapolis-St. Paul market and the new restaurant will bring that energy with it!”
So stay tuned and check back here regularly. We’ll be posting pics and showing the progress as we all await the brand new digs.


Good luck on the move; sounds like you picked a very busy area for the location with lots of foot traffic. Seafood sounds delicious.
