Reviews for Oceano Kitchen in Lantana, FL
No return here for sure! Food: no ask on allergies, nuts, No proper glasses for drinks, this is not a pub, right? Cash only was... a surprise! This is 2022! Service: I didn?t feel hospitality. No question asked about refilling. I could order more, but nobodyasked. So service is was not good, no happy to serve faces for sure. Restaurant owner. Read more
Every dinner here impresses me. The menu is always rotating with new fresh ingredients that are made into the most amazing... shareable dishes. The intimate atmosphere is refreshing for a soflo restaurant. And the service is always wonderful. I can?t sayenough good things. Be prepared to wait a little bit but you can grab a drink while you do. Read more
Dishes were amazing! Also had the pizza but forgot to take a picture.
Perfect little place for a date night. Small menu made things very easy to choose. We sat at the counter top bar inside and... talked with the chefs as they cooked, using only a wood fired oven. The food tasted amazing, especially the freshest tomatosalad. Dessert was to die for. We will make this a regular for date night near home. Read more
I?ve been coming to Oceano for years. This is, hands down, the best restaurant in Florida. Small plates meant to be shared, big... flavors with beautiful presentations, friendly and knowledgeable staff, perfectly curated wine and beer list. This is the placeyou bring your foodie friends. I?ve never once had a bad dish come out of Chef/Owner Jeremey?s kitchen. This man is a culinarywizard, and a national treasure. Were I still in the industry, I would be beating down his door every day for a position at hisrestaurant (which seems to be staffed almost exclusively by folks he?s had with him since opening the place, which is indicativeof a dude who?s great to work for.) It?s a cozy place and there?s almost always a wait to get a seat, but the waiting area iscomfortable and the host and servers offer you drinks while you?re waiting. Also, the wait time doesn?t matter because the foodand service is worth it. Menu changes daily based on the chefs creative whims and what?s available from their local vendors, soif you see a dish on their menu that you HAVE to try, don?t wait to go. Read more
Great food, all made from scratch. Usually a wait since it has limited seating so arriving early is best. Great chefs, staff and... food make it worth the wait!! Read more
It's been a long time since I've been able to post a restaurant review... Still limiting where we're going but this restaurant... is all outside seating... I've been wanting to get to Oceano Kitchen for quite a while. Tonight was the night. We were in theright area shortly after they opened at 5:30, and we walked up and were seated in of the last available tables. Our serverbriefed us: The menu changes every day. Everything is scratch made. Everything. Plates are designed for sharing - nothing istoo big or too small. We had no preconceived ideas of what we'd have or even find on the menu, and that's good because Icouldn't have ever imagined the menu items. Our choices were the Street Corn Soup, Long Island Duck Dumplings, Orechiette withshortrib ragu, and the New Bedford Scallops with Polenta. The Street Corn soup came first - nicely split into separate bowlsfor us. On this warm evening it was a refreshing chilled soup. Smooth and creamy, sweet with bits of fresh corn and littlejabs of heat from the tajin sprinkled on, tempered by bits of the queso fresca. We both loved it... every spoonful brought newflavors. The Long Island Dumplings were next. 6 dumplings to the order -- more than enough for the two of us. Obviouslyfreshly-made and bursting with flavor. The dumpling itself was also fresh and had a nice bite to it. No "gamey" taste at allfrom the duck, just lots of oohs and ahhs from us. Third came the Orechiette. The shortrib chunks in the ragu just melted inour mouths, and the pasta was al dente just as I love it. We both thought this dish might have benefitted from a light dash ofsalt, but it was still very well done. The portion was large enough that we both ate our fill and then still had 1/2 of itboxed up for a midnight snack. Finally, the Scallops. FOUR. HUGE. SCALLOPS. Seared and cooked to perfection. Tender. Smooth. Creamy. Add the sweet of the currant and the salty of the caper to the polenta, and the rabe in brow Read more
Awesome spot with great food. The corn soup - whoa. Honestly could have taken a bath in it. A must order. Sit in the back and... you can watch the chefs make everything. Super cool. The pizza left a little something to be desired but I'm a snobby New Yorkerso that's to be expected. Seriously, get the corn soup already. Pizza Adventures: Destination #165 Read more
