Indulging in outdoor dining with a vista of the ocean is an unmatched experience that leaves a lasting impression.
With its breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, Oceans 234 stands out as one of the rare restaurants in southern Florida situated right by the shores of Deerfield Beach. This coastal gem has been a beloved establishment for the locals for over twenty years, and for good cause.
While famous for seafood delights like lobster mac and cheese and Baja fish tacos, their diverse menu showcases a variety of sushi and raw bar options along with inventive specialties.
Secure a spot on their vibrant open-air terrace just a stone’s throw away from the beach. The casual dining spot welcomes pets and offers a relaxed, beachy atmosphere for savoring the ocean breeze.
Kick off your experience with one of their signature cocktails such as a Tequila Old Fashioned, Mango on Fire, or Oceans Colada, and pair it with a selection from their raw bar.
We relished in fresh oysters on the half shell, featuring Hammerhead Oysters from Massachusetts that day.
Our attendant informed us that the catch of the day included local swordfish, mahi, and red snapper, customizable to your preferences.
In addition to classic offerings like jumbo shrimp cocktail and Maine lobster tails, they also present unique dishes like Yuzu salmon tiradito, fresh catch ceviche, and a lobster “sushi” roll.
The noteworthy Members Only roll boasts a tantalizing blend of spicy tuna, salmon, jalapeno, avocado, and cucumber, complemented by wasabi peas for an extra crunch and topped with yuzu-truffle aioli.
Two Baja fish tacos (grilled, fried, or blackened) are perfect for sharing, showcasing locally caught mahi with a flavorful chipotle cream, red pickled onion, citrus slaw, and micro cilantro.
Among the main dishes, the jerk swordfish stole the show at our table, served atop Aji Amarillo corn cream with a warm maduro salad, baby kale, spiced pepitas, and mint mojo for added zest.
The delectable Thai pesto blackened mahi was accompanied by shrimp, Basmati rice, sautéed spinach, and red coconut curry.
Other crowd favorites include seafood fra diavolo, spinach artichoke gnocchi, herb-crusted rack of lamb, and Mediterranean roasted chicken with Kalamata olives and feta.
Conclude your memorable dining experience with a slice of Key lime pie or their rich homemade bread pudding topped with rum crème anglaise and whipped cream.
Oceans 234 can be found at 234 North Ocean Boulevard in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
