Best Seafood Restaurants in Ellenton

Restaurant is beautiful. Oysters Rockefeller were the best I’ve ever tasted. Carpaccio was also outstanding. Fillet steak and scallops were also extremely delicious. Deserts did not let us down. It was a beautiful evening and we were happy we went.

Our party of four had an unbelievable experience. The Server, Adam Pratt, was outstanding. He was extremely passionate about his job and provided insight into all Menu items. His interactions were impeccable, providing superior service while also being very interactive and professional. The food was outstanding. Lobster Bisque - Easily the best my Wife and I have ever had. Its creaminess and flavor were beyond reproach. Nigiri (Salmon Belly), Ahi Tuna, and Crab Cocktail - All phenomenal. The crab was super succulent. Wagyu Filet, Wagyu Manhattan, 8oz Filet - These were all "melt" in your mouth and cooked to perfection. The scallop entree was also very good. The scallops were cooked perfectly. The risotto was very good, and the presentation was outstanding. Truffl;e Mac & Cheese was some of the best I have ever tasted. The asparagus is easily the Most Tender asparagus I have ever eaten. The Brussels sprouts were delicious. We finished with the 10-layer Carrot Cake - This was wonderful and the Pineapple sauce was an unbelievable compliment to the moistness of the cake. The cream cheese icing which usually overdoes the cake was the perfect compliment. Our only complaint was the Carrot Cake only had 9 layers. We showed Adam and had some lighthearted fun with it at the table. Thank you Oceans Prime Sarasota for such a memorable and delightful dining experience.

**Ocean Prime Dinner Review – Bar Lounge Experience** Ocean Prime truly delivered an exceptional dining experience in the bar lounge! From start to finish, the evening was a perfect blend of ambiance, service, and culinary excellence. Our group of four opted for a mix of dishes that showcased the restaurant’s range, and each one was an absolute delight. The **Seafood Cobb Salad** was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Both the **Filet Mignon** and the **Ribeye Steak** were cooked to perfection, tender, and full of rich flavor. The attention to detail in preparation was evident with every bite. The sides were equally impressive, complementing the main dishes without overpowering them. The additional **side salad** was crisp and refreshing, a simple yet elegant accompaniment to our meal. The atmosphere in the bar lounge added to the experience—sophisticated yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for an upscale yet comfortable evening. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout the night. Ocean Prime is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re craving expertly prepared seafood, steak, or a mix of both, this spot hits all the right notes. We’ll definitely be back!

Everything was remarkable. Our waitress was very attentive and nice.

We had a group of 20 high school soccer players. Perfect venue on the beach with activities and fire pits. Waitress would bring pitchers of lemonade and leave on tables for each. Good selection of meals, fast kitchen. Great service and easy to work with.
