Cherry On Top: Sweet, Savory & Totally Irresistible Birthday Bites at Ocean

It’s not a celebration without a cherry on top — and at Ocean Casino Resort, we’re taking that quite literally. In honor of our 7th birthday, some of Ocean’s top chefs have cherry-picked their most decadent, delicious, and downright cheeky menu items to mark the occasion.

From hand-crafted pastries to drool-worthy desserts and even a savory surprise or two, here’s your insider guide to the cherry-inspired creations you’ll find all across the resort this summer. Spoiler alert: you're going to want to save room for dessert — and then some.

Amada: Spain Meets Sweet

José Garces' Amada brings bold Spanish flavors to the cherry celebration with not one, but two can’t-miss dishes:

• Canoa de Platano | $11
  This crispy open-faced empanada is loaded with pork shoulder, dark cherry, orange, and a pepper aioli kick. A little sweet, a little savory, and a lot addictive — this is happy hour, redefined.
• Tarta de Santiago | $13
  For a sweeter finale, indulge in almond cake paired with white chocolate gelato and Amarena cherries. It’s sunshine and celebration on a plate.

Linguini By The Sea: Bombes Away

Linguini By The Sea is serving up a dessert that’s a total showstopper:

• The Cherry Bombe | $15
  Layers of chocolate cake, cherry mousse, and a Tahitian crème center, finished with a cherry jam gastrique. One bite and you’ll understand why this is the bomb.

Ocean Steak: The Steakhouse Goes Sweet

Not to be outdone, Ocean Steak is also delivering the goods:

• The Cherry Bombe | $15
  (Yes, it’s that good we had to double it.) Chocolate, cherry, and crème in a dessert that's rich, indulgent, and absolutely birthday-worthy.

Harper’s: Scones That Mean Business

Brunch gets a serious upgrade at Harper’s:

• Chocolate Chip-Cherry Scone | $9
  House-made and packed with sour cherries, finished with a fondant glaze. Perfect for pairing with that second (or third) mimosa.

Topgolf & Villain & Saint: Double the Cobbler, Double the Fun

When the sun goes down and you’re craving something cozy, Topgolf and Villain & Saint have your back:

• Warm Cherry Cobbler | $10
  A bubbling dish of tart cherries, finished with streusel and a scoop of vanilla bean gelato. Is it technically “dessert”? Sure. Is it also the best way to end your night? Absolutely.

Soup Spot: A Sweet Little Surprise

For a cherry treat on the go, Soup Spot is keeping things simple and sweet:

• Cherry Cupcake | $4
  Small but mighty — and perfect for a midday pick-me-up between all the action.

Sweeten Your Stay

From Amada to Topgolf, these cherry-picked creations are the perfect way to celebrate Ocean’s 7th birthday in style. Whether you’re dining, brunching, or just grabbing a quick bite, there’s a cherry-topped treat waiting with your name on it.

Pro tip? Pair your dining adventures with a staycation. After all, birthday indulgences are best enjoyed with oceanfront views and a plush bed waiting upstairs.
