Line Chef

Óasi isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a modern Mediterranean haven born from friendship, family, and a shared love of hospitality. The partners (Jaysen and Hobert) first met while working together at a Chicago-based restaurant group, where they became lifelong friends and often joked about opening a restaurant of their own one day. Now, that playful banter grew into a dream—and ultimately became Óasi. The concept also has a deeply personal connection to Greek culture: Jaysen’s wife, Alexandra, is Greek, and through their life together, he has embraced the culture’s warmth, traditions, vibrant flavors, and generous spirit of hospitality.

Rooted in the Greek word for “oasis,” Óasi brings the soul of Greek cuisine into a fast-fine concept designed to feel like an everyday escape. Fresh ingredients, bright flavors, and feel-good dishes come together in a space where nourishing food meets your happy place—whether you’re dining in, grabbing something between meetings, or bringing a taste of the Mediterranean home. With elevated simplicity, thoughtful service, and catering created for joyful gatherings of every kind, Óasi Kitchen + Bar is where Greek tradition meets modern hospitality—a culinary retreat in the middle of your busy world.

We are excited about building a team of people who take hospitality seriously, have fun doing it, most importantly want to learn and grow. If this sound like you, please take a moment and reach out. We would love to hear from you!
