3800 Ocean

We call it the “collective kitchen.” For the menus of 3800 Ocean are inspired not only by the local abundance of South Florida’s renowned crops that thrive under a hospitable climate, but by the regional flavors that stir the souls of our collaborative team of chefs. Each chef brings a new insight to the table: the comfort food favorites of New England; the fire and spice of Mexico; the Caribbean traditions of Jamaica; and the ageless classics of Long Island. Our own local abundance of fresh produce and seafood allows us to take the collective kitchen dining concept quite literally. Everything is made from scratch. Every taste evokes an emotional connection to a past culinary memory, or perhaps a future craving.

"Enjoyed our dining experience with an ocean view! Food was very unique - the chefs put together a very interesting menu with different, subtle flavors that we really enjoyed. It's a great place to try something new. We had a wonderful, lively server (Gustavo, I think?) who was very attentive. Enjoyed our night very much."

"I am 21 and I brought my girlfriend here for our two year anniversary and it was outstanding. We had very professional and elegant service with a very elegant table setting. We had a great view of the water. The gave us complimentary champagne because they knew it was our anniversary and the food was amazing. We shared the sweet and sour lobster. It was one of the best things I have ever tasted. It is pretty expensive but it is worth it if you are looking for a place to eat for a special occasion. Not your normal drop in for lunch kind of restaurant."

"Had requested table by window and told it would be no problem but were offered another table. Told we would have to wait for window table which we did. Ordered drinks at bar. Our table became free while waiting for drinks. Bar tender provided wonderful service by personally bringing our drinks to table. Our orders for salad and request for bread taken and server disappeared for a very long time. When she finally reappeared she was surprised we had not gotten any food yet. Our salads did finally arrive, followed a few minutes later by bread. The food was wonderful. We both had scallops and were not disappointed. Overall, hostess needed further training, bar service wonderful, server fair, but food, view, and atmosphere fantastic!"

"First time at 3800 Ocean. It will not be our last! Every detail was marvelous. We eat at many fine restaurants in the Palm Beach area and this may become our new favorite. We enjoyed the expertly prepared gourmet meal. The pastry chef gets accolades too. We will be back!"

"Beautiful view from our table. Amazing Sunday brunch. Service was super! Would definitely have brunch here again....
Unlimited shrimp cocktail, lump crab cocktail, ceviche, smoked salmon, beef and turkey carving station, omelet and waffle station, cereals, salads, pastas, breads, and absolutely amazing desserts!!! Would recommend the french toast with bananas and nutella as a must....
One additional note: all you can drink bloody mary's, mimosas, etc. for only an extra $14 p/person :)"

"This is a hotel restaurant and the kitchen is very exposed to the dining room making the big room echo with kitchen noise. Our staff was helpful, but the food just did not meet our expectations. The room is so big and it lacks any kind of warmth. This place feels too institutional to be a good choice for local diners. If you are staying at the hotel it is fine. But as local part-time residents, we would not go there again."

"Excellent cuisine. What I most like about this restaurant is that they have 5 chefs from different backgrounds and training which makes the menu exciting and different. Everything is cooked to perfection, and the desserts are to die from. They also have a chefs table, which can't wait to book. I defiantly recommend this restaurant."

"My girlfriend and I celebrated her birthday over dinner at 3800 ocean. The food was very good. Mary had the Caribbean "Blaff" which included local snapper, shrimp, calamari, clams and island vegetables in a scotch bonnet broth and I had the scallops - both were wonderful. Our waiter took note of the fact that it was Mary's birthday and was very generous with the wine "pours" and brought a nice birthday dessert on the house. 3800 Ocean is in nice setting rigth by the beach."
