Now, as you probably remember, I did a ‘preview’ on Ocean235 a while back, and I promised to return to do a full review. Well, right in the middle of the process, COVID happened across the US, and I could not finish. Regardless, I had to give you the low-down on what I experienced at this restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ocean235 is in Easton, PA. They are purveyors of fine American dining. For the review, I decided to take my friend Trent Mason there for a business meeting. It was his first time visiting the Lehigh Valley, so I wanted him to have a great experience. He was not let down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had a great waitress, Sophia Blanchet, who was very warm, friendly, and inviting, and played a big part in our experience! She provided excellent suggestions from the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We started off with the Octopus Bruschetta with Baguette Toast, Heirloom Tomato Salad, Capers, and a Lemon Vinaigrette. I also had a plate of amazing mussels! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the entree, I had Monkfish wrapped in prosciutto over couscous with asparagus! Let me tell you: this dish was absolutely #DLicous! All 10,000 of my tastebuds were extremely happy! Honestly, I let Trent taste it, and – literally – I thought he was going to fall out of his seat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Trent had the Ocean Burger with Blue Cheese, Bacon, Aioli, Fried Egg, Tomatoes, and Fries. It was cooked perfectly. Actually, I could have a bite of that right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of our portions were very generous portions! And the drinks were great! I had a manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This place is consistent, and will – again – get my #pictureworthy hashtag! Shout out to the staff of Ocean235 for providing an enjoyable experience! Well done! Thank you, Sophia, for all of your help! I will most certainly visit again, and I invite you all to check out their current menu. Remember to #eatlocal – support your local restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay tuned. Soon, I’ll hit the kitchen to create one of my favorite desserts. You may get a personal invite to share in the experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
