Oceano Kitchen in Lantana - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

With Oceano Kitchen being temporarily closed for renovation, we decided to take advantage of the offsite catering they are offering and hire them for a private dinner party. They came up with a menu and were very responsive and communicative regarding our requests. From the canapés that were served during the guests arrival, to the appetizers, main courses, and desserts- it was phenomenal. Every single guest said it was the best meal they have ever had, and I completely agree! The preparation, experience, and creativity of Chefs Jeremy and Cindy were evident in every dish and detail. Their team was extremely professional throughout the set-up, dinner service, and even the clean-up. The pricing is more than fair and definitely worth it, considering the amount of preparation and work involved, and the quality and quantity of food they serve. I highly recommend trying them for your next private event-you won’t be disappointed!

Good overpriced food. Becoming a place for snobs after the original placed being built on hard working middle class locals.

Wonderful place with excellent food!

Very disappointed after being told how great it was. We ordered a 73$ veal chop, it was thick and tasteless, no pasta, bread , vegetable and nothing on the menu to order really all carte to compliment it. Just a thick piece of meat. I would not return there as there was no atmosphere and the food wasn’t good.

I think Dawn should have gone to Carrabbas if she wanted some bread sticks. Oceana should have Michelin Star. The veal was incredible, we did pair it with the Orichiette which Chef Eric prepared for us after they already closed the kitchen. Atmosphere at the bar was great with Chef Frank chatting about previous meals we've had at Oceana. Can't wait for the Pizza Oven and renovations to be completed. Hands down the best restaurant in Palm Beach County

Incredible meal that blew away our expectations... every dish had balance and all the staff were cool. Especially liked the gnochii and the lamb chops. Will definitely be back good luck with the renovation starting in mid June...

Fantastic food!!! Ate at the bar. Open kitchen so you can watch the preparation. Nice server. Pricey but excellent food. Casual atmosphere.

I continue to believe this is the best restaurant in Palm Beach County!

We loved being taken care of by Tessa! The food was great and the ambiance even better with the friendly crew! Tessa was kind, articulate, professional, informative and polite. She made the whole experience even more memorable!

Warning! This restaurant ONLY takes cash. They did not tell us before seating us which was an issue since we barely had enough cash with us.

We had a artfully and delightfully created meal! Everything was Art level appreciation of great food! Highly recommend for anyone who prescribes to Self Care, Gratitude, and having a healthy appetite!

First let me say, I like this restaurant but I was a little disappointed with the berkshire pork katus. The taste was fine but it was a little over cooked. The sweet corn soup was really good. People are nice and atmosphere is laid back.

Great food, but way too expensive for the serving size and price

As top notch it was in its former location, the Lake Worth restaurant is even better. Every dish interesting and beautifully prepared

This place is amazing. Food is really good. I have followed them since they where at their other location near Boynton Beach. Me and my wife love them!

Hands down some of the best food in Palm Beach County!!! What a pleasant surprise. You read about it being a James beard semi finalist. You read menu changes daily, check the menu only to see a handful of dishes sourced from local farms. This is brilliant, the entire staff front and back of house all seemed chill, enjoying their craft, prepared, and friendly. When they have the time to get everything ready before dinner service and then just get to have a good time plating food, it's awesome. Menu isn't overwhelming or redundant that neither customers nor staff will get bored. Executing delicious and beautifully presented food. When you have a highly trained chef who has held previously a Michelin star for 6 years now down in Florida doing his own thing it's pretty cool. If you are one of those people who might be apprehensive of a small unmodifiable menu... just trust Chef Jeremy! He came over to my friend and I and introduced himself, he took good care of us because we are both in the hospitality business. Everything was Great. I am eager to return again.

Service great. Very loud inside. Limited wine list. Food WAY too much garlic.

This is the best food in South Florida. I moved here 4 years ago and I felt I was in a culinary wasteland. Thankfully, I found Oceana. I love sitting at the chef's table and watching Jay and his team prepare the food. Highly, highly recommend.

Food is excellent. Priced off the charts. The restaurant does not take credit cards. Guess why?

Jam packed on a Tuesday night, should indicate something good and it indeed indicated something great. Their new dibs creates an urban, modern vibe that mingles well at their current address. We started with a mortadella toast app, with a red onion jam and pistachio nut sprinkled atop Sullivan bread, it was to die for, outstanding! We each split the two main courses, a Curry Salmon which was excellent, but the Orechiette, with sausage, clams and beans, was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a while and that says a lot. Now, we’re the portions small, yup, especially for the price, however, I’m not one to argue price, when quality is top notch, just wish there was slight more of it. It was so good, after the app, I forgot to snap photos

We got a salad and spare rib appetizer, the scallops were never fired so I think they forgot about them, and so cancelled that order. Food was okay but I think the pretentiousness, and the hostess who was extremely rude, and unless you are a regular I guess you don't get any kind of smile or kindness. I lived in Manhattan for 7 years I've been to Il mulino and many great restaurants and they were so much nicer to ALL guests.

Food and Service is the best around town! You will not be disappointed with any item on the Menu! Excellent Staff all around. I can’t wait to go back in February to see the new space.

Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Fantastic service, incredible food. Best in South Florida hands down.

Very rude hostess. Cash only, food average, no parking, service ( the poor waiter was serving 7 table, stressed and very rude too). Never coming back.

Our first experience dining here and we were quite pleased. Our waiter was professional, prompt and helpful. We shared the cerviche which was the best I’ve ever eaten as well as the delicious blue crab tacos. We each had the scallops that were cooked to perfection. We also got 2 desserts to share and they did not disappoint. Even the beer was so good and icy cold. I look forward to seeing their future renovations.

Foodie alert. Oceano is the goods. Original cooking with great service. Pork Chop amazing, Peruvian Seafood Stew a must, salads inspired. The setting is a former temp office building, so a little noisy, but visually interesting. Go and enjoy.

I loved this restaurant. Attentive staff, groovy atmosphere and a welcome spot for true foodies. Every dish was delicious. Chef puts out a limited q was daily menu so check before going to make sure it's to your liking. Our menu was heavy on pork which was not preferred by my dining companion which did not inhibit her enjoyment but it could be an issue for some people.

Absolutely perfect meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor was the perfect balance. Its a daily created menu and I wasn’t that excited about menu options off the rip, but surprisingly humbled by how amazing each dish was. I’ve been searching for a restaurant to completely wow me and this place did. I’m a foodie and have lived in south Florida my whole life I finally found my new favorite restaurant. Take the chance with the wildcard menu and just enjoy the experience of complete culinary delight.

10/10 as usual! We used to line up and wait for the select few tables at Oceano’s old location. The new spot on Lucerne lives up up to the line— but now there’s no wait, and AC! We had our favorite server, Tessa, guide our experience and help us choose some dishes and the drinks to accompany dinner. The salad was incredible with complex flavors in every bite, the soup was portioned and served so we could share and enjoy, and the beef crudo was rich and well balanced. My favorite tonight was the swordfish and crispy cauliflower in a romesco sauce. Dinner was timed perfectly, so we didn’t feel rushed and the ambiance of the new location paired almost as well as the fantastic wine selections. Best of all, we left full and happy. The trick is to bring a few people so you can try everything on the many!Can’t wait to see what’s on the menu tomorrow! Congrats to the team on the seamless transition to their new spot— we will keep coming back!!

Quality, from start to finish. 10/10!!

Quite expensive for very tiny portions. Insulting!! Never coming back!!

Sometimes being forced to do something turns out for the best. The new space is much better. The food is just as great. The service just as personal and committed. Lake worth will soon be on the culinary map

We tried out Oceana Kitchen on Lucerne in L Dub last night. I know this restaurant has been around for a long time in Lantana, but we've never been, and wanted to support a new L Dub business. The waiter suggested that we get four or five different things to share on the daily menu. The prices ranged from $19 for a bowl of soup to $43 for a VERY small piece of swordfish; it could not have been more than 3 or 4 ounces. The street toast was basically toasted bread and a small plate of melted cheese with a few anchovies in it for $28. The celery root salad was basically high end cole slaw for $22. There was no other salad on the menu. The food was tasty but extremely small portions and very high prices. I ordered a glass of pinot and got a two dribbles in the bottom of a stemless glass for $16. The service was excellent but I think the waiter was one of the owners. Also, they do not take credit cards. The waiter gestured to an ATM machine in the entryway. The atmosphere was nice and open air and I love being in downtown lake worth, but ...

Waited 25 min after being seated... still no waters given and no attention by server.

Overpriced and very very small portions. Just not worth it plus you have to pay cash

Great dinner. Food was outstanding. Service was friendly but a bit slow at first. Food take a sec. But that is expected as it is made to order. Will definitely be back. Sat at kitchen bar is suggested.

I could not be more pleased @Oceanokitchen moved to LWB. The Tuna Cucumber Crudo outstanding! Should we even talk about the Carrot Zucchini heavenly dessert, just get it!! For me, the enjoyment of the dinner experience starts with watching the food being prepped with such focus, precision and love. 1000 stars ⭐️

My wife and I saw a mention of this place in the newspaper. We thought we would give it a try so I checked out the website. We decided it was not for us based upon a couple of things. It is cash only. No credit cards. This usually implies the business is trying to cheat on taxes and that is the reason for no traceable cards, etc. Second was the statement on their website stating, “All modification to menu items politely declined.” So I want some ketchup on my burger? Or no truffle oil on my fries? I’m SOL. Good luck with your business, but I’ll take my $$$ and go to Burger King where I can have my burger my way, I can pay with a card, and the price is $5 and not $29!

A bit pretentious and the food, while good, wasn't up to the hype.

Genuinely some of the best food in Palm Beach county. The team Chefs Jeremy and Cindy Bearman have put together is genuine (culinary/service) rockstars. Check the menu bc it changes daily. They definitely deserve a round of high fives.

Going to oceano is always a treat. You’ll never be disappointed. Fresh local ingredients everyday, new menu everyday, awesome staff and ambience. You must get the straight shooter pizza, there’s a reason it’s always on the menu.

Every dish is unique and gourmet...

My family and I drive 1hr to get here, but it is defined worth it. Every time we order the entire menu and some dishes even twice. The dishes are amazing and really interesting flavor profiles. Do not miss out and do not skip on desert. Amazing restaurant!!

It’s cash only. The snapper is actually halibut, they ran out. Very sparse “fix” menu. Don’t try to modify any items on the menu, its not happening. We were not feeling the place so we got up to leave and was promptly charged 12$ for 4 waters, do with that what you may.

Laid-back, yet some of the most delightful food I've had in Florida. Interesting flavors, and some wonderful wood-fired pizza, tied together with thoughtful service.

Best of the best! It literally does not get better than Oceano. The best food my wife and I have ever had A+++

Very nice. Cool options. Something for everyone and very good service.

Great food, but I can’t say that waiters were too attentive.

Everything was great with only oneee minor thing. The cookie desert would have been much better if warm.

This is a local gem!!!! Amazing every single time we go!!!! They use local and fresh ingredients which are served in an innovated way that accentuates every flavor and texture. The chef is extremely creative and what is even more impressive about the innovation is that the menu is different every day. Also the desserts are to die for. Happy to say this is one of our to go to's. The menu is a little pricey but it's is all well worth it in terms of portions size and quality. The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and even romantic. All around 10/10, Love this place! *** I wish I had more pictures, but I always get distracted with how delicious it all is***

Outstanding!! The orecchiette with beef pork Ragu executed to perfection. Pasta cooked perfectly, the corn blueberry salad delicious. All of the ingredients complimented each other very well. Tomato basil pizza, amazing! Service was very good she made us feel right at home! Beautiful gem with outstanding food!!!

Really delicious and creative food! Been coming here for years. Staff is really friendly too.

You may have to wait but wow is it worth it. Unbelievable food quality and innovative culinary creations. Just amazing !!

When you got it, you got it!!!! To be able to be so creative, and that amazing at what you do is a gift and they have it. Thank you for what you do!

Legitimately the best meal I've ever had in Palm Beach county.

Best restaurant in a 50 mile radius, point blank

We had a great 1st meal at Oceano and then a 2nd meal that was a bit more disappointing. Putting aside the lack of reservations, which results in long waiting times, we found the menu a bit spotty on our last visit (dinner for 5). In particular, the $105 strip steak was unremarkable. Pizza was solid. We still would recommend as a fun new discovery, but we hoped for more after our initial great first impression.

Can’t say enough good things about Oceano Kitchen. The freshest and most flavorful ingredients every time. Have been here over a dozen times and it is consistently the best food I’ve ever had

Great food! Daily changing menu so always a unique experience

This is a hidden gem, original dishes with great flavors.

Place was absolutely amazing, whatever I are likely won't be on the menu as it changes daily but this place is worth the stop and wait! (No reservations) get there early!

A local gem. Fresh, farm to table daily menu of no more than ten items. Foodies, you will not be sorry you made the trek to come here. No reservations, cash only.

Very disappointed. Service was awful. Pizza ordered at 5:30 delivered at 7:00. And everyone at the table served at different times. I don’t see a James Beard award coming soon.

Great people, Great food. Compliments to the Chef and all the staff

Get there early and be prepared to wait but it’s worth it!

I went there with my parents and partner and I must say the first welcome was a little interesting but once we sat and got our menus the experience changed for the best. We took a couple plates to share and it was beyond what we could expect. I wish I took more photos of everything we ordered but got caught up in the moment. Very savory and great experience overall. The menu changes everyday so I can’t wait to go back and try it again! Oh and they inly accept cash. So make sure you got enough ;)

The food is pretty great here and the service is always great. I recommend trying them out whenever you in the area.

I honestly am dreading writing this review bc I don’t want to ruin my chances of getting in next week. But this is it ladies and gentlemen. This is the epic food Florida is not used to. You want to be mind blown? Go here-run, don’t walk, or you won’t get the Wagyu Strip. There is no where that you will go that is better, and I don’t say that lightly. We’re foodies, and my extra weight I carry will prove that to you. This is the place you go to when you want good food, maybe the best food you will ever have. And don’t be an a*shole, trust the chefs and don’t make any modifications-they know what they’re doing, not you. Thank you chefs-you constantly deliver. We are lucky to have found you!

Great food, great service. Love the concept of shared plates! Menu always has amazing options. The Mexican street corn soup, if offered, is a winner! Thank you!

They have a different menu every day, and every dish is cooked in a brick oven, no other cooking equipment used! Food is exquisite, you won't be disappointed.

Overpriced. $40 pasta, $40 pork chop which was way undercooked. I get it, the menu changes daily, but the pricing is not justified. Good food, but not worth the money.

Some of the best food I've had in Florida. Will be back soon

Overpriced no ambiance. No parking. The seating is under a tent and very very casual no silverware. Pizza tomatoes sauce full or garlic. Gnocchi we're very good but is $40 small size. Wine is exuberant and expensive. Service ok. No credit cards probably cheat on taxes. Never again.

Great food, reasonable pricing and I love the small simple menu and is not big deal when everything is pretty good.

Solid spot, the food is fantastic! The service is hit or miss, not so friendly host or waiters which has been dissapointing

LOVED THE PERUVIAN DINNER & WINE PAIRING!

Always one of my favorite dining experiences. I freaking love this place. Try it out, better with friends and family to share with!

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 Yorker so that's to be expected. Seriously, get the corn soup already. Pizza Adventures: Destination #165

You won't be disappointed. Sit inside to watch the kitchen in action. Really special place with daily menus and crazy efficient and talented staff. Owners are on site and in the kitchen leading the way. Lots of care and passion here.

WOW. I cannot remember the last time I would give any restaurant 5 stars. Fresh, Eclectic, Fabulous. You need to go !

Incredible meal. Must try if in the area.

Whatever your personal dining out budget is - this place is honestly not worth it. The gimmick seems like it should be effective at justifying the price point ("fresh/farm to table", curated daily menus. You know the drill) but it's not, and the cracks show very quickly. The service is off - akin to shopping at a haute boutique. Everything is done with a light air of condescension as if to make me feel I should be grateful to get to sit at one of the 6 or so picnic tables they have set up. I wasn't impressed or taken in as I don't find the "someone's backyard" aesthetic to exude an air of exclusivity. Sorry. The food is... disappointing mostly. It's not bad per se, but it's one of those places you go to and come out with a single distinct impression: "the sauces were very good!". You know the type. $20+ lamb appetizer consisting of sad, thin, fat forward little ribs that even PF Changs would be too ashamed to serve drizzled in a lovely, zesty labne cheese sauce. Was the sauce a delight? Yeah. But I sure wish that for $25 I'd either gotten some food to go with it or at the very least a damn jar of the sauce to take home. The pizzas, if you've ever had any decent pizza, are just boring and only made interesting by, again, their pizza sauce that tasted like one big garlic and I enjoyed that. Everything else was utterly unremarkable. Except the check. I mean seriously people... I know this area is on the richer side of things, and there aren't *that* many choices, but this place deliberately serves subpar food with subpar ingredients and portions and justifies it with a reconstructed curdled flavor essence drizzle topped with small batch toasted almond crumble dusting. Go eat some actual food somewhere else as this is not a real fine dining experience.

Amazing food. This is probably the best food I’ve ever had!!!

Enjoyed a fantastic meal. Best steak I ever had. Dessert was delightful.

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 nobody asked. So service is was not good, no happy to serve faces for sure. Restaurant owner.

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 say enough good things. Be prepared to wait a little bit but you can grab a drink while you do.

Very expensive. Charged $4 for ice tea and no refills. Small outdoor restaurant with flies eating your food. Not worth it.

Food was good, atmosphere not, service less than adequate, prices truly ridiculous. First time there last night because of rave reviews. Will not return. I knew we could be in trouble when our silverware was wrapped in a paper napkin and we sat on hard picnic type benches. Close to $40 for pasta or fish stew. Tonite they have a $29 burger on the menu. I can go to Buccan and get a prime burger for $21 along with superior service and lovely atmosphere. They say they are a casual restaurant and they definitely are.

Excellent Farm to Table Spot, highly recommended Dishes were so tasty and are meant to be shared. Definitely worth a try

Dishes were amazing! Also had the pizza but forgot to take a picture.

Outstanding food with warm hospitality. Scallops were unbelievable and the Lemon Tart with Blueberries and Sour Cream Sorbet is not to be missed. This chef is obsessed about food quality and originality.

An elevated dining experience. The proverbial culinary delight. A unique menu changing daily. The Peruvian chowder was incredible and I could have ordered another tuna crudo. I can't tell you how great the evening was. Cannot wait to go back. But shhh. Don't tell anyone. Wish I lived closer, my new favorite spot. Enjoy🥂

Foodies delight! Such a standout restaurant. Talented and imaginative chef turning out great food on an ever-changing menu. Good wine. Casual outdoor space that is comfortably inviting. We practcally ordered the entire menu and each and every dish was a beautifully constructed treat. Go early. Be prepared to wait. But just go!

Wonderful taste and quality. Dessert was unreal!

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 tomato salad. Dessert was to die for. We will make this a regular for date night near home.

Once a favorite, now off my list. Who wants to wait an hour for even the best food? The food , while good, is now as expensive as the top restaurants in town - restaurants with beautiful decor, advance reservations and excellent offerings. Just not worth the wait and the hassle

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 place you bring your foodie friends. I’ve never once had a bad dish come out of Chef/Owner Jeremey’s kitchen. This man is a culinary wizard, and a national treasure. Were I still in the industry, I would be beating down his door every day for a position at his restaurant (which seems to be staffed almost exclusively by folks he’s had with him since opening the place, which is indicative of 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 is comfortable and the host and servers offer you drinks while you’re waiting. Also, the wait time doesn’t matter because the food and service is worth it. Menu changes daily based on the chefs creative whims and what’s available from their local vendors, so if you see a dish on their menu that you HAVE to try, don’t wait to go.

This is one tiny spot you definitely should visit. Amazing rotating menu, great and helpful service, great outside dining. I can see why the chef’s prior restaurant received a Michelin star. Truly outstanding and perfectly casual. The best combo!! We tried everything on the menu (but the gigantic steak which looked fabulous) when we dined and loved it all. The scallop presentation was the best I have ever had anyplace. Cash only and no reservations!

Had a wonderful meal there on Thursday evening, the quality of food, flavors and cooking is outstanding and the deserts are to die for. Don’t miss it.

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!!
