Oceano is the kind of restaurant that quietly sets the tone. Reopened in 2025 after a move and a thoughtful renovation, the Lake Worth Beach spot reflects the evolving vision of Cindy and Jeremy Bearman, a husband-wife duo with pedigrees from New York City’s ABC Kitchen and db Bistro Moderne. Their seasonal menu is technique-forward and expressive. Jeremy’s savory dishes are composed and confident. Cindy’s desserts are vivid, layered and unapologetically indulgent. The couple earned a James Beard nomination and built a loyal following across multiple Palm Beach County locations. Oceano’s influence is palpable: When chefs talk about where they actually eat, it’s always part of the conversation. The Bearmans don’t chase buzz, instead they define it, one plate at a time.
