Ocean Prime

This restaurant was perfect for a night of fine dining and a show! The atmosphere was perfect for my group. My group had sushi, lobster bisque, beet salad to start. We also had the crab cakes, filet mignon, Oscar style, and Chilean sea bass. Sushi was fresh and delicious. The food was exceptional. Even at these prices $$$$ and the fantastic service (Thank you Steven), We will be back.

It wasn't the best experience because of two issues, but I think it could be easily above four stars if they take care of the two correctable issues. First, we were there to celebrate a birthday. All the food that came out was great except one 10oz filet. It came out rare instead of medium rare, and when I say rare I mean, looking like tuna. They tried to re-fire it, but they couldn't get it right the second time. However, the ribeye, the special halibut, the truffle devil eggs, the shrimp cocktail, and even the mocktails and old fashioned were all what you expected when eating at a place like Ocean Prime. Pretty Damn Good. #meatthermometer

The second issue was the passive aggressive server. Very attentive, very nice, but far too concerned about his tip and let you know it. Ordering our food, everything he was trying to upsale to what we would order. At the point I cancelled the steak because it wasn't going to come out in time, I called 86. At least three times the server kept telling me how the management had deducted things off the final check and to help out him and his co-workers. It just got to the point where I thought about asking him how much money you want me to leave?

I will say this, the management was very apologetic. They comped the drinks, gave $100 gift card, and served a desert on a personalized platter. At the end of the day, I would go back to give them a second try. The food overall was great, the atmosphere was great, and there is always another server. I appreciate the way management handled everything.

Absolutely 💯 loved this resteraunt, and our waitress was so awesome too. The food was very good and seasoned well 😀. I felt the bill was average for the level of quality for the food and atmosphere. I will definitely come again. I enjoyed the experience. The prime rib was great, too.
Valet was $26.00, which is unusual to me 🙃 that was the only negative. We paid it and all went well. I would have given the resteraunt 5 stars if valet parking was more average priced. 🤔

Still one of the last truly elegant restaurants downtown. Ocean Prime will continue to be a classic staple for those looking for an elevated dining experience. Unlike some of the other Seafood staples downtown, this restaurant has maintained it’s beauty in delivering exceptional experiences for the Luxury diner. Everything is whimsical and continues to be amazing. From the host team to the wait team all the way to the chef and bartenders -kudos. I wish Google would allow video because I would share this amazing bubbly, champagne drink that I just could not get enough of! (Pictured is the calamari and the shrimp appetizers)

I’ve wanted to try this restaurant for some time because of their carrot cake but I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed my food experience. First, staff were awesome and attentive. It’s great for date night, birthdays, solo date, family dinner, etc. They have valet parking and street parking. You’re seated a little to close to other tables depending on where you are in the restaurant but that’s my opinion. It’s an intimate dining experience. We started with Deviled Eggs that were topped with caviar and truffles. They were underwhelming. It’s heavy on the truffle flavor but lacks any additional seasoning. And if caviar scares you, I couldn’t taste it. They put an extra small amount on each deviled egg. I tried the South African lobster tail stuffed with crab meat. The lobster was cooked well. Great texture. The crab meat didn’t add anything to the experience. The Chilean Sea Bass was yummy as well. Cooked well and flavorful. Their Roasted Brussel Sprouts were some of the best I’ve had. It had a lemon flavor and well seasoned. They were tender but a slight crunch.
Their Ten Layer Carrot Cake was delicious as well! It was a perfect balance of cake and icing. Not to sweet for me. It tasted like gingerbread and carrot cake mixed in one. My cocktail was the BERRIES & BUBBLES. Heavy on the bubbles. It was a light and sweet drink and not an overwhelming taste of alcohol.

Food was alright for the offered price and experience. Service is a hit or miss depending on what kind of server you get, and the host did not seem to be in a good mood either when we walked in last Friday afternoon, between lunch and dinner hours. It wasn’t too busy at all so food came out quickly.

Keep in mind that although food and portions are the same for both lunch & dinner menus, price differs for some dishes (is that even common nowadays in high-end restaurants?).

In terms of food itself, we really liked the Tuna Tartar and Poke Bowl, yet the risotto was average in comparison to what we tried in other places.

Ocean Prime is such a wonderful experience in fine dining. Trust me! I managed one for years. The atmosphere was wonderful, the service was great, and the food was the best! It was hard to choose from the menu. I went with the Chilean Sea Bass. It was "melt in your mouth". Other dishes served were Lobster and Cheese (excellent per my son), other seafood. I highly recommend this place!

Oceans Prime was truly a great experience. The service was friendly and on top of everything very impressed for a busy place. The food was amazing. I had a 10 filet cooked medium rare minus....tender, juice and delicious. The peanut butter chocolate cake thing out of this world! Great food and wine excellent service.
