Great service and the food is excellent, so much flavor! Even the rice was worth mentioning! We ordered mezzes to start with, they were beautifully arranged and served with triangles of thin pita bread. The Baba Ganoush was so delicious that we ordered an extra dish. For entrees we ordered the vegan Kafta. It came with a nice salad and was such a generous serving that we all had leftovers to take home. While this is not a cheap restaurant, we thought it was worthwhile. There is no outdoor seating but ample indoor dining.

I go to pick up and parking isn't great but the folks in there were really cool and the food was cooked to order. Whatever that soy sauce combination with my tearikki sauce combination is that made the shrimp and sushi rolls perfect. Bottle that up because whatever that is I'd put that on anything Asian and a few other dishes as well. Also shout out to the shrimp. It was way better than the standard fried shrimp I'd usually get. P.s. if you are willing to share the secrets to that delicious soy/tearikki sauce combination that would be really cool. Asking for a friend

I had the Mediterranean Flatbread without the chicken, but took the chicken home as leftovers for the family. It was piled with artichokes, great quality kalamata olives, etc. The chesses with the pesto sauce and drizzle were a delicious combination! My son enjoyed the leftover chicken. Hubby had the Granny's Pot Roast. He was impressed with how lean the meat was and that he could cut it with his fork. The loaded mashed potatoes looked phenomenal. In addition to the food being delicious, the staff was wonderful. We had three different waitstaff checking on us throughout our meal. We watched them open doors for people coming in and leaving the restaurant. The restaurant also has a popular meal planning service. They rotate their menu monthly. This will definitely be one of our new go to spots!

The food was prepared quickly, came out hot and fresh, and was full of flavor. The only thing keeping this from a review is that I found the menu somewhat limited (one steak option, no burger, one seafood entree option). Certainly this is due to a rotating menu so what makes them special to others was a bit limiting for me. I'll definitely be back to check out future menu options!

Back in the early 2000s, there was a local coffee shop I loved going to called The House of Joe…read more After closing due to the landlord "selling the building the coffee shop was in," The House of Joe never really reopened despite saying it found a new place. I missed those days of the local coffee shop, so when I find a new one, I must always check it out. Oceans Cafe, however, differs as it is a coffee shop located within a church (community). Ergo, it combines two things I love: coffee and God! I just had to check it out, and I am happy I did. It's worth the 30-minute trip south on I-95 to experience it. For starters, it should be stressed that Oceans Cafe's location is somewhat unique as it is located inside of Indian River Mall. That may sound like a red flag as the locals can tell you that the heyday of that mall is in the past with many of its stores closed, but it is still alive and kicking thanks to certain stores such as the AMC 20 and repurposing some of its space for other endeavors. One such endeavor is the westside of the mall being repurposed into Oceans Unite Christian Center, a large Christian church and community. Besides their church/assembly hall, they have a bookstore, radio station, playground, and even a children's center/daycare. One of those "community businesses" is their coffee shop, the Oceans Cafe. Access to the cafe is inside the mall as it has taken one of the store spaces in the Oceans Unite Christian Center part of the mall. I went with my friend Patrick and we have to say, it is a nice coffee house. It has all the decorative hallmarks of a divey coffee house back in the 2000s but with a Christ-centered flair. There are divey signs, numerous tables and chairs for congregation and hanging out, and a huge chalkboard wall that has blessings and prayers written in chalk. Ordering food is like the "cafeteria line" which most will recognized being utilized in Panera Bread. You make your orders, and if you can't get something pre-made or in the cold case, you'll get a number for staff to deliver your food to you. As for the food, the selection is extensive which includes breakfast, paninis, baked goods, salads, soups, and much more. Now here is the kicker, all the food and drinks are "pay it forward." This means you pay what you feel on your heart to pay. This is definitely good as there are people who may need a meal who can't afford such yet they still can get one. Many of the congregation, especially other Christ Followers who come, love to pay it forward. I myself paid more than the recommended, as provided via a conversion sheet by the staff, for my soup, sandwich, and smoothie. As for food, it is very good given the staff are volunteers from what I am told. Probably not the best of the best, but the cause is enough to satisfy your soul as well as your hunger. On a sidenote, the restrooms are part of the community church so they are well-maintained. Take note they are gender-neutral as I only saw two single-person restrooms and making them gender-neutral prevents a waiting line for one gender forming. I do not mind that. Ultimately, I am giving Oceans Cafe a four out of five stars which is the highest any indie business and/or restaurant can get on an initial visit. If in my subsequent visits they are consistent, I will give them their fifth star. EXTRA: Oceans Cafe is located in Indian River Mall so for the scavenger hunters out there like me, there are a large array of geocaches and Munzees to find. You might even find a painted rock too.

I don't super recall having one of their beers at the Stuart beer festival, so I was excited about 'retrying' it. First, the building is awesome. Read the history on it, but also hard to ignore the giant generator that the beer comes out of it....super cool visual. I like the vibe of the place overall, and the patio seemed really nice but since it was our first visit I wanted to take the inside 'all in', and glad we did. Ok..the beers.... Flight: 6 5 oz pours for $15. Reasonable enough.. We started here just to see what pint we each wanted: *Freedom Tourch Stout: I loved it. *Hazy IPA *Double Vision IPA: Really enjoyed it; just amped up the hazy a bit. *Hef: Decent (not a super fan of hef, but wanted to sample) *Lager: Decent, it's a lager: * Icon IPA I ended up with an Icon IPA as my pint, enjoyed! Ok..the food * We split 10 wings for $16. Naked with nashville hot and blue cheese on teh side. Really enjoyed, meaty. * We also split a burger..the fun guy (funghi). We upgraded to sweet potato fries. I thought it was delicious, and the swp instead of marshmallow fluff had a maybe sweet cream cheese dip (i don't care it was delicious!) :) Now they were out of a few beers that was my first pick (including the Saison) but I guess it was others picks too..hence why they were out! Definitely want to go back!
