    This was our second time dining at Ocean prime, both times we had the pleasure of having Robin as our server. She is the absolute best! The food is phenomenal. We got the Cesar salad, ocean prime sushi roll, which was melt in your mouth and the 10 oz  fillet with the truffle fries. Everything was so good! We sat outside in their patio which over looks a small marina. I highly recommend eating at Ocean Prime!

    We celebrated our Anniversary, night started with a glass of champagne while we waited for our table, upon arrival at our table rose petals were scattered, almost every waiter plus staff wished us Happy Anniversary. One thing that impressed me was we were not pushed to order & clear the table for others. I'm used to enjoying eating & hate to be rushed. Our complete meal was wonderful with one exception, my Wife's meal was not as hot as she preferred. But again overall we had a Tremendous Evening & all was good. We will be back.

    The room and vibe are great. We sat in the upstairs bar area in a reserved booth. The spacious bar is first come, first served and eating at the bar is an option as well. There are 2 flights of stairs to get up there (and to the outdoor dining area there); not sure if there’s an elevator but we witnessed a lot of seniors huffing and puffing their way up there. The service is overly friendly and very efficient. Now the food: the NY Strip was perfect in every way. Cooked (sous vide??) exactly as requested, seasoned beautifully. Truffle fries were very good and nicely presented. The calamari appetizer is cleverly disguised to resemble a full plate of calamari, however it is a few pieces of calamari with unidentifiable crunchy bits and shredded carrots/scallions, then smothered in sweet chili sauce. I have no idea why this sudden trend towards sweet chili sauce on calamari has taken hold but let’s hope it goes away soon. The Shellfish “Cobb” was tasty, nothing special, but the shrimp and lobster were fresh and flavorful. The place was packed by 7P so definitely make a reservation for a table. Valet parking was quick and friendly ($10).

    Sherri at the bar upstairs was absolutely incredible. Her Service was impeccable and the food was amazing. The orchid drink was so yummy. I was so impressed and pleased with everything and that is very hard to do. I can’t wait to go back!!

    The food was delicious. The service was great. Everyone knows the type of music that makes customers eat faster and turn over tables but the club music was ridiculous. Completely counteracts the otherwise great meal.
