Oshen

The resort is nice. The staff at the bar was just OK. It took forever to get a drink. It took forever to pay. We were not made to feel welcome as a party of only two. You’re better off ordering a drink, paying for it immediately, and walking down to the beach to watch the sunset. Debatable on whether I will come here again. Plenty of other beautiful spots to watch sunset in the area. I’m a local.

Great location but the consistently poor service from staff and management make this a 1

Oshen is a perfect rooftop spot to grab Japanese Peruvian food onsite at the St Regis Longboat Key Resort while enjoying the sunset. Located between the edge of where the resort pool ends and where the beach begins. It’s sits on the 2nd floor past Riva as you head towards the beach. The lazy river is right below Oshen. We stopped by here after breakfast at Riva on our first day just to check out the stunning space. They open daily at 4-10pm so it was closed when we stopped by but still open where you can check it out in the open space. There’s a bar in the middle and lounging seats and small tables surrounding the bar. We decided to sit at the edge with the perfect spot of the beach. The perfect spot to watch the sun set. We sat and chilled for a bit enjoying the view and amazing breeze. Came back for dinner around 6:30pm. Wanted to secure a nice spot to watch the sunset. Many of the lounge seats were taken as these are mainly first come, first serve. Then they start putting “reserve” signs on the tables. We opted for a nice spot at the bar overlooking the beach. Not perfect but good enough in the shade with a lovely breeze. Our bartender was Liam and he was very hospitable. He welcomed us and was attentive the entire duration of our dining experience. Thanks Liam for the awesome service. Here is everything we ordered: • Borodino Fizz $23 • G Sake Gek Black Gold $11 • Tuna Ceviche $25 • Chicken Teriyaki Bowl $25 • Wagyu Lomo Saltado $36 • Hamachi A La Brasa $28 We ordered cocktails to start. Hubby had sake and I got something different, Borodino Fizz. My drink was “a bold and bubbly mix of peppercorn-infused Cor Cor Japanese Red Label rum, coconut shrub, fresh lime, and spicy ginger beer. Tropical heat with a zesty kick.” Surprisingly good. Not what I usually drink but I liked it. Food was exquisite and presentation for everything was on point. I asked for Sriracha and Liam introduced us to their homemade Kimchi Sriracha. Oh em gee!!! So delish. They basically mix kimchi in Sriracha and it was amazing. I’m totally making this at home. Ha. TUNA CEVICHE: nikkei leche de tigre, cilantro, onion, crispy corn, quinoa furikake, shrimp cracker. Flavors were great but not a ton of food. Loved the crispy corn, quinoa furikake and eating the tuna on the shrimp crackers. WAGYU LOMO SALTADO: wagyu striploin A5, crab salad, avocado, lomo saltado sauce, crispy sweet potato. Damn good!!! Lots of good texture with the crispy toppings, don’t even know what it was. Haha. Great combo of flavors! CHICKEN TERIYAKI BOWL: edamame, seaweed tempura, sesame seeds, sushi rice, quinoa furikake, daikon, carrot. We don’t usually order chicken at a Japanese restaurant but this seemed the heartiest out of everything we ordered. It was a good portion and the sushi rice with the chicken, edamame, veggie shavings and white corn was just enough. HAMACHI A LA BRASA: torched hamachi, anticucho sauce, baby gem, snow crab, chimichurri, garlic, scallion. We were still a bit hungry after eating the other 3 items so decided to order something else. We only had breakfast so we were hungry. The hamachi had so much flavor and hit the spot. Really tasty. All in all, Oshen is a wonderful dining experience between the incredible views, cocktails and fresh sushi options. Service is amazing, as only expected with the whole St Regis luxury level of service. Beautiful space with good eats! Go see Liam and tell him we sent you.
