Located in the historic Blockade Runner Beach Resort, EAST Oceanfront Dining’s award-winning chef Jessica Cabo – who appeared on Season 1 of “Hell’s Kitchen” – prepares her menus with fresh local seafood, produce from the hotel’s own garden and other items sourced from local purveyors. Dig into Locally Harvested Clams, Bacon and Collard Dip, Ahi Tuna Tartare or Pomodoro Pappardelle, all accompanied by lush gardens and peek-a-boo oceanfront views.
South Beach Grill’s daily specials, which are Southern-inspired and locally sourced from both the land and sea, include items such as the Makers Mark Salad, Seafood Napoleon, Crab and Seafood Nachos and Sweet Potato Crusted Flounder. Seafood is fresh caught each day and served in a remodeled interior that pays homage to the building's art deco origins, or visitors can sit outside on the covered, dog-friendly patio overlooking scenic Banks Channel.
Indulge in the flavors of Panama just over the drawbridge at Ceviche’s, a cozy Latin American restaurant that houses a bar made of reclaimed wood straight from Panama, a deli counter for easy ordering and a charming outside courtyard. Featured on Guy Fieri’s television show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” Ceviche’s is known for the signature dish it is named after – ceviche – which “cooks” fish by placing it in citrus juices and other spices rather than traditional cooking methods. The restaurant also features Tuna Poke Wraps, Jerk Camarones and Tres Queso Empanada, Caribbean Fried Oysters and Panamanian Paella.
