This was my wife's and my first experience at Ocean Prime and we could not speak more positively about the experience. Robert, the restaurant manager, gave us the sweet assist upstairs. Then we were fortunate to be matched with our server, Tim, who painted a Monet-style painting with his words when walking us through the menu. Large portions, the ability to halve sides, great cocktails - top-notch across the board. I ordered the 10 oz Filet Mignon and it was the best steak I've had all year, bar none. The environment and experience exceeded our expectations! Thank you Robert + Tim for a great first experience! We will look forward to coming back soon! Big cheers

Incredible service and even better food. The quality is so fresh and worth the price. It was our first time trying the caviar roll—it was hands down our favorite dish. I can't even describe how delicious the texture and flavor are. I also always enjoy the yellowtail jalapeno sashimi. You have to try these two dishes for yourself, as well as other recommended rolls and salmon nigiri. This restaurant is exceptional for a romantic date night.
