Shannon our server took terrific care of my family and I! Ahi tuna appetizer was fantastic! Steaks done to perfection! Kept us on time for our concert at Ball arena.
Thank you again for a terrific night out!!

Food: I have been here multiple times and the food is always fantastic. The seafood is high quality and always fresh. I would highly recommend the jumbo crab cake. It is perfectly seared on the outside and delicious crab inside. It also comes served with a slaw. It actually is pretty big too. I would also recommend the surf and turf appetizer. You can’t go wrong with scallops seared to perfection and short ribs so tender you don’t need a knife. As far as dessert, you literally can’t go wrong! I love their 10 layer carrot cake.

Service: Every time I have gone, the staff was always very attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. They were always respectful of the time because normally I would have a show to attend at the Denver Center of Performing Arts.

Highly recommended eating here for any occasion!

My wife and I were visiting Denver and decided to stop in on a Saturday night. The restaurant was crowded but we were seated right away treated to some delicious popcorn. My wife ordered twin lobster tails and I got the grouper. The food was excellent. My meal came with some of the best gnocchi I have ever had. The atmosphere was great too given the location in Larimer Square. I would highly recommend Ocean Prime.

Located in Downtown Denver on the corner of historic Larimer Square, Ocean Prime is an ideal place to socialize and indulge in Happy Hour in the Lounge. Happy Hour is offered Monday through Friday from 4-6pm. All Lounge food offerings are $5 off and there are $8 Specialty Cocktails, $8 select red & white wines, & $5 local beers.

I valeted my car right by Ocean Prime on Larimer Square for $10 with validation from the restaurant.

We arrived at Ocean Prime and were seated at a high-top table in the Lounge. The aesthetic was high-end and sophisticated with chestnut woods and dark blue uplighting. Our server Elliot had great flair and happy hour recommendations. Managers Chris and Nick ensured customers had everything they needed and were well taken care of.

For cocktails I had the Black Orchid - only $8 during happy hour - made with Belvedere Organic Blackberry & Lemongrass Infusion, St. Germain, Fresh Lemon & White Cranberry Juice. This cocktail is my favorite at Ocean Prime. The Black Orchid came in a martini glass with an ice orb that held an orchid flower inside. The cocktail had aromas and flavor notes of blackberry & lemon that burst onto the palate with a lovely juicy sweetness that refreshed.

Jaclyn had the Reposado Paper Plane made with Casamigos Reposado, Aperol, St. Germain, & Fresh Lemon Juice. The Reposado Paper Plane was the National Cocktail Competition Winner of People's Choice Awards.

The Ahi Tuna Tartare was made with Avocado, Pickled Ginger, Sour Cream, & Citrus Ponzu. The Tuna Tartare was an elegant raw appetizer filled with fresh, light ingredients. The sushi-grade ahi tuna pieces were generous in size and had a soft texture against the satisfying crunch of the wonton crisps.

The Prime Roll was made with Tempura Shrimp, Cream Cheese, Scallion, & Beef Carpaccio. The thinly sliced beef carpaccio sat atop the sushi roll and gave it a savory flavor. The tempura shrimp in the roll had a delicate crunch that folded into the smooth cream cheese.

The Ocean Roll was made with #1 Tuna, Salmon, Hamachi, Avocado, & Chili Garlic Oil. The Ocean Roll was fresh and vibrant. The hamachi was smoothly luscious. The chili garlic oil added subtle spice that enhanced the richness of the tuna, salmon, and hamachi.

The Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli were made with Golden Oak Mushrooms. The ravioli was wonderful - a richly flavored pasta filled with smooth goat cheese.

For our seafood main we split the Teriyaki Salmon made with Shiitake Sticky Rice, Soy Butter Sauce. This is one of the best salmon entrees you can find in Denver. The salmon was juicy and flakey and coated in the bold & thick teriyaki glaze. The sticky glaze combined with the soy butter sauce gave the salmon a perfect combo of sweet tang.

For dessert we had the Warm Butter Cake made with Fresh Berries, Vanilla Ice Cream, Raspberry Sauce. The cake was piping hot with vanilla ice cream melting atop. The crisp sugar exterior gave way to a densely buttery interior making for decadent gooey bites of the cake.

The experience is great. The dry ice made the meal fun and exotic. Thr food was amazing.

It is pricey but it is amazing quality. The fish is juicy and we'll seasoned. The oysters to lobster was very fresh and didn't have a overwhelming fishnets.

You will need to find parking in advance or pay heavy on valet or close parking.

It’s a great place for having with one of the best calamari I ever had. It’s a little expensive but the food is really good. We tried some sushi, calamari lamb chops, ribeye etc. Everything tasted great! Do try the restaurant if you are in Denver downtown. Forgot to mention they have some good vegetarian options too.

The food is as outstanding! Danny our server did an amazing job as well, excellent service. We enjoyed the Chilean sea bass and branzino dish along with calamari for appetizers. Every single dish was amazing but the highlight would have to be the Chilean sea bass, absolutely superb! Nice ambiance and we had a nice city view upstairs, highly recommended.

This is a classic high end Steak and Seafood House. High end prices with high end finishes. The food comes out cooked to perfection, everything is well presented, and the staff took extra good care of us. We sat upstairs and the vibe was pretty chill despite the prices on the menu. If you’re looking for a fancy night out, this is the place for you.
