Carmine’s Original Ocean Grill & Sushi Bar, Palm Beach Gardens

At Carmine's Original Ocean Grill & Sushi Bar, restaurateur Carmine Giardini's vision to revive the seafood flair of former restaurant Ocean Grill has come to fruition. While patrons enjoy to stunning views of the Soverel Harbor Marina, they are also treated to a copious variety of locally caught fish, seafood, and steaks grilled on a hardwood charcoal grill by executive chef Alexander Sutherland.

But like a mashed-potato-sculpting class, the restaurant presents plenty of other ways to enjoy your food. In its lounge-style setting, patrons nibble on selections from the raw-sushi bar, choose from entrees such as miso-glazed sea bass and oven-roasted crispy duck, or savor robata grill dishes cooked in an authentic, ancient-style irori—a traditional Japanese charcoal-fired hearth. They also sip wine, sake, and creative cocktails such as the Asian pear martini and the strawberry mule.
