Oceans 234 is getting WAVE Reviews about their exciting new menu items!

I had the privilege of attending a private tasting of several of Chef Victor Franco's new menu items the other day at this beautiful ocean front bistro and bar in honor of their 10 year Anniversary which will be celebrated at the restaurant next Thursday, June 27th. Situated on a stretch of scenic ocean front property, Ocean's guests enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean with the Deerfield Pier providing a picturesque backdrop.

What a spectacular presentation was set before us, course after course.

The first plate to arrive was the Baby Cobb Salad

Next came the Baby Spinach Salad topped with Blackened Shrimp.

A beautifully crafted dish of Spinach Artichoke Dip with Crostini was next.


 So fresh it could have jumped from the sea to our plates, the Grilled Bronzini was amazing.

Next up was the Shrimp Fra Diavolo served over a bed of Linguini. With just a little bit of heat, paired nicely with the house Pinot Noir.

One of my absolute faves of the night was the next dish, the Ribeye. The twice baked potato which was made miniature for our tasting menu was so cute and really tasty too.


Just as our tummy's were about to burst, a beautiful oasis of Oreos & Cheesecake combined into one mesmerizing creation was set before us. Suddenly, I found my second wind, or was it my "dessert stomach"?!? Paired with their own cocktail creation known as the Hummingbird and served in this cute-as-can-be drinking vessel.

Another new addition to the already very tempting dessert menu is the Banana Cream Pie, which we didn't actually have on this evening, but man does this look sinfully delicious, or what???





Chef Victor combined local ingredients and delicious homemade sauces to create a symphony of tastes that pleased everyone's palates on this night as I am sure he does every night for each and every one of the satisfied guests who leave happier than when they arrived.

Open 7 days a week for lunch & dinner and spectacular brunch on Sundays, Oceans serves American Cuisine, Seafood specialties including Raw Bar and Sushi. They can also accommodate Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Diets.

Oceans 234 is a great Special Events location and their attentive staff make planning any event there a real cinch. They also offering off-site catering for weddings, corporate engagement and other parties or special events.

To me, this place is a little piece of tropical paradise that will no doubt lift your spirits should they need lifting, and transport you to a vacation mindset, even if you are a just a local, like me.
