Embarking on an alfresco dining experience overlooking the sea is a matchless moment that leaves a lasting mark.
Boasting stunning vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, Oceans 234 truly shines as a standout dining spot in southern Florida, nestled right along the shores of Deerfield Beach. This coastal jewel has been a cherished establishment for the locals for more than two decades, and for valid reasons.
While renowned for delectable seafood treats such as lobster mac and cheese and Baja fish tacos, their wide-ranging menu features an array of sushi and raw bar choices along with innovative specialties.
Snag a seat on their lively open-air terrace just a short stroll away from the beach. This casual dining hub welcomes pets and provides a laid-back, coastal ambiance for relishing the sea breeze.
Commence your visit with one of their unique cocktails like a Tequila Old Fashioned, Mango on Fire, or Oceans Colada, and match it with a pick from their raw bar.
We delighted in fresh oysters on the half shell, highlighting Hammerhead Oysters from Massachusetts on that particular day.
Our server informed us about the catch of the day, which featured local swordfish, mahi, and red snapper, all customizable to your likings.
In addition to traditional offerings like jumbo shrimp cocktail and Maine lobster tails, they also present distinctive dishes like Yuzu salmon tiradito, fresh catch ceviche, and a lobster “sushi” roll.
The striking Members Only roll boasts a tantalizing mix of spicy tuna, salmon, jalapeno, avocado, and cucumber, paired with wasabi peas for an added crunch and topped with yuzu-truffle aioli.
A pair of Baja fish tacos (grilled, fried, or blackened) are ideal for sharing, featuring locally caught mahi with a flavorful chipotle cream, red pickled onion, citrus slaw, and micro cilantro.
Among the main courses, the jerk swordfish stole the spotlight at our table, served over Aji Amarillo corn cream with a warm maduro salad, baby kale, spiced pepitas, and mint mojo for an extra kick.
The delightful Thai pesto blackened mahi was served with shrimp, Basmati rice, sautéed spinach, and red coconut curry.
Other favorites among patrons include seafood fra diavolo, spinach artichoke gnocchi, herb-crusted rack of lamb, and Mediterranean roasted chicken with Kalamata olives and feta.
Wrap up your memorable dining escapade with a slice of Key lime pie or their decadent homemade bread pudding topped with rum crème anglaise and whipped cream.
Oceans 234 is conveniently located at 234 North Ocean Boulevard in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
