RESTAURANT REVIEW

Oceans 234 (cont.)

yes, our same Danielle from Parkland’s Whale. Widowed when Lois’s son passed, the two have stayed family and clearly love and respect each other. It is Williams who gives Oceans such energy and panache. When she noticed Oceans was due for a facelift, she brought in the best of the best to give it its new trendy, contemporary sophistication. The new Sushi Bar is her idea. Helmed by master Sushi Chef Jeff Wong, a veteran of the esteemed Kyoto, the Sushi is exceptional. Eaten on the ocean, it’s otherworldly.

Pulled Pork Sliders

What’s so nice is that you can get just a salad, a set of three simply mouth-watering Pulled Pork Sliders ($10), sweet, tangy pork piled on mini buns, a burger, the raw bar or a magnificent entree. Everything is presented like it will be photographed for the Food Channel but does not disappoint on the palate.

The drinks are great, Tom the Bar Manager muddles, crushes and infuses drinks with only the best of ingredients. The service is excellent and few places make you feel this good. It’s like you took a mini-vacation. You can’t NOT enjoy this place. Top 50 American Idol winner Ghaleb performs Sundays 4-8pm. They even feature a late night bar bites menu Fri nights to 2am & Saturdays until 3am. Lunch every day at 11:30am. Dinner daily Sun-Thurs 4-10pm, Fri & Sat to 11pm. HAPPY hour Mon-Sat 3-7pm at the bar where you’ll find ½ off well drinks, $1 off call, wine and beer. DAILY specials on Wednesdays, buy 1 Sushi roll get 1 ½ off, keep the menu fresh and fun.
