    We had an amazing night! The service is great, and the ambiance is cozy. It's a good mixture of high-end as well as a neutral environment. We went for my husband's birthday, I made a reservation and asked for a nice place to sit in the comments on the reservation. They sat us right next to the fire away from everyone. It was literally perfect. The drinks were good, the food was great, and the free desert was delicious! This was our 2nd time going, and we will absolutely be back.

    My partner and I ordered the Fennel salad special was amazing hope they include for a regular. We both ordered the Carbonara and it was the best I’ve ever had before!! Would definitely order again. Being an interior designer just wish they would do more in the dining area on the walls. Just seems so bland and unexciting. I could definitely see some black and white large photos of Italy and perhaps the family. Some free advice lol!

    We were seated for our Valentine’s Day dinner five minutes early even though this was probably the restaurant’s busiest date of the year. Our waiter, Mike, is a veteran and a pro. He was very helpful, wasn’t full of himself and his knowledge and understanding of the menu as well as the type of dining experience most of his customers expect from such a we’ll know establishment, was impressive. There was nothing we asked him for which he wouldn’t have moved heaven and earth, to get for us. We had the sea bass and 8 oz. Filet as our main courses. The cut of the filet was prime and it tasted like it. It was a perfect medium rare. The sea bass was also moist and wonderful. What a great surprise this dining experience turned out to be. This was the best meal we had over our three previous nights in the Phoenix valley. Thanks Mastro’s.

    Michelin star restaurant. Our Servers. Outstanding. No hovering. Attentive. We had at least three and the lead gentleman provided the best guidance we’ve experienced for years. The chef deserves kudos for excellent food prep and quality, and unique ingredients (choice of fresh greens on risotto). We had the early menu of warm breads, scallops and risotto, sides of bacon creamed spinach and jalapeño au gratin. We finished with the warm butter cake. If you enjoy martini’s try the signature. Most delicious and beautiful I’ve ever encountered. Ocean Prime is a 10 star restaurant.

    Possibly the most impressive dining experience my wife and I have ever had. They made our one year anniversary truly special. From the ambience of the restaurant itself and the amazing spectacle of the roof opening, and the gorgeous pool on the top floor. The food was the star of the show as it made you feel like you were on cloud nine with every bite. The steaks were cooked perfectly and every side ordered was delicious. Josh, our server, was the most attentive and caring server we have ever had! What an amazing experience!
