Chef Jeremy Bearman is turning lemons into ceviche this week -- and if you’ve followed Bearman’s cooking endeavors, you know it will be some excellent ceviche.

Bearman is the culinary mind behind Lantana’s popular Oceano Kitchen. His newish seafood restaurant High Dive debuted at Rosemary Square just weeks before the pandemic hit, shutting down some of the area’s important sources of dining traffic, namely the Kravis Center and the Palm Beach County Convention Center. 

Bearman reopened briefly for patio dining and takeout, but the second-floor location in a suddenly stalled area proved “incredibly tough,” he says. In mid-July, he and his wife/partner Cindy Bearman decided to close the place until the worst of the crisis passes. 

“We’ll reopen High Dive, but we’re not in any rush. We won’t reopen until we feel it’s the right time to do it in the way we want to reopen it,” he says. “Otherwise, you’re just there, spinning your wheels.”
