Oceano Coastal Restaurant

I had the crab Mac and cheese, it was so flavorful! I had Maria’s margarita, you won’t have a better one anywhere else. Delicious. I got my tiramisu to go- the best I’ve ever had. They even have chips of chocolate in it. Absolutely fabulous. They have a lot is gluten free options on the menu, which we really appreciate and it can be hard to find. Thank you so much to management. Try this restaurant if you haven’t yet!!!

Oceano never fails to exceed our expectations! First of all, they added Gluten-Free icons to dishes on the expanded menu... Thank you so very much! Not only are they serving dinner, but have now opened up for brunch on Saturday and Sunday! We had Roasted Cauliflower, Sweet Potato Crab bisque and Gambas Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp) for starters. Because I'm GF, our server, Josue, had hand-made corn tortillas made to eat with the shrimp and it's delicious buttery, garlic, white wine reduction. The Sweet Potato soup had a generous amount of Lumped Crabmeat! And the combination of flavors and textures in the roasted cauliflower with the fennel, pistachios, raisins and cauliflower was mouthwatering! For drinks we had Maria's Margarita and the specialty white Sangria. Both were the best we've ever tasted! Dinner was the Grilled Salmon with mashed plantains, spinach and mango salsa, as well as the Bolognese with house-made pasta! Both were delicious! The salmon was cooked to perfection and practically melted in my mouth. The fresh pasta was outstanding and the sauce was meaty, thick and rich having slow-cooked for several hours! With the sheer amount of exceptional food, we went home with leftovers to enjoy the next day! We've been to Oceano many times and always are surprised at how much we enjoy ourselves and the food experience! I would like to add that we have followed Chef Maria for many years and also would recommend her original restaurant, Maya, located downtown across from the Carpenter Theater.
