When in Fort Lauderdale, you must experience the culinary delights of Chef Dean James Marx at 3030 Ocean. This gay-friendly restaurant draws a crowd on the merits of its prime location overlooking the moonlit waters of the Atlantic. It keeps the crowd coming back with its great menu, a menu which changes depending on the market and the whims of Chef Marx.
3030 Ocean is a casual chic dinner bistro located inside of the Marriott's Harbor Beach Resort & Spa. However, this isn't your typical hotel dining experience; it is run as a free-standing restaurant and locals and visitors both enjoy this fantastic dining experience. As you enjoy your meal by the ocean, the gentle sway is brought behind the glass into the casual dining room. The sun-bleached woods, white-capped tables, echoes of soothing music and sprays of bold fabrics drift together to create a very pleasant atmosphere.
The Sea Bar at 3030 Ocean is the ideal meeting place for either business or pleasure. Seafood aficionados flock to the tiers of fresh lobster, clams, shrimp, oysters, stone crabs, and a seasonal array of other deep sea delicacies which populate 3030 Ocean's raw bar. Savor samplings of the chef's unique Seviche or enjoy Fort Lauderdale's most popular fresh catch. Alternatively, there are inspired interpretations of such cold water classics as salmon and Maine lobster. Chef Marx's exquisite menu reflects his diverse background of cooking experiences, including the years he spent living in Florence, the education he received from French chefs and the influence of his California years.
What would be a meal at the ocean without a drink in hand? While at the bar, be waited on by skilled and friendly bartenders who mix up everything from classic Martinis and Cosmopolitans to the signature 3030 Ocean beverage.
