Description

Ocean Prime presents a mixed dining experience with standout elements but noticeable inconsistencies. Many praise its elegant atmosphere, attentive service, and exceptional dishes like lobster bisque, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, and jumbo sea scallops, especially during Restaurant Week when prices are more accessible. Signature desserts, such as the rich five-layer carrot cake, frequently impress. However, some guests report a decline in food quality and flavor, citing bland entrees and slow, inattentive service that mar special occasions. While longtime fans appreciate the ambiance and select menu items, recent visits suggest the restaurant may be struggling to maintain its previously high standards.

The restaurant exudes an elegant atmosphere with its white tablecloths. I had a great time during happy hour, where the prices were quite reasonable. It's a charming and romantic spot, although a bit dimly lit. I savored a glass of wine...

"Let's start with the service, which was a major disappointment — I would rate it just 1 star. We had a reservation for a weekend evening, yet the restaurant was still 40% empty during peak season, which is quite puzzling."

My husband and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary, and it was an incredibly special experience. We were warmly welcomed at the entrance and wished a Happy Anniversary. Our table had lovely rose petals and a candle, creating a beautiful atmosphere. The waitstaff was kind and festive, taking pictures and making sure every moment of our evening was perfect. It was a memorable night, and we truly appreciate how valued we felt.

This was our third visit to Ocean Prime, and once again, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We arrived early to enjoy a cocktail at the bar, and we were promptly seated once we finished. The service was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. It was Restaurant Week, and we both opted for the scallop entree. While my house salad was a bit overdressed, my husband really enjoyed the Caesar salad. We followed the suggested wine pairing and decided to try the carrot cake for dessert. The scallops were perfectly seared and absolutely delicious, paired wonderfully with the risotto. The carrot cake came with a delightful pineapple sauce... so good! Since it was my birthday, our server surprised us with a complimentary third dessert. We ended up taking enough dessert home to last us for the next two days! Ocean Prime never fails to impress, and Restaurant Week is a fantastic time to visit.
