Service was ok not great for a 1200$ meal. The place was packed and I did get the 10 layer carrot cake to take home. I had to ask more than once to order bottles of wine.......‍ The bone in ribeye was a little disappointing. I expected a monster and got an average steak. The ambiance was fine for business just a little loud. read more

We go during lunch - no matter what day of the week and tend to sit at the bar. We get such great service from Billy and Leo. They go above and beyond. They know that we come in during lunch so its usually for an hour but within that hour its the best service. Its the best, the food, the drinks and just the vibe. Will always go back! They make the experience so much better. read more

Service, food and drinks is always excellent. We come here very often on Friday for lunch and my group is always treated so generously. We can't thank Leo and Billy enough for their attentiveness, kindness, and humor! You are bound to have a great experience with these two! All staff is great and we so look forward to coming in. Definitely check this place out!! read more

Enrique is the best, he makes amazing drinks and very attentive to details. I recommend him for drinks and banter.

FABULOUS DINNER We dined at Ocean Prime Seaport on a Wednesday evening. Fortunately, we had reservations because when we arrived, the front bar area was hopping at the early hour of 6:30 p.m. It seemed like half the dining room was full and there was a private event happening in a separate room. Ocean Prime is a beautiful restaurant with understated luxury. We were seated in an elegant upholstered booth. Our server was both friendly and attentive. We started with the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake appetizer ($29) and French Onion Soup ($17). For our entrees, we chose the Lobster Linguine ($58) and Chilean Sea Bass ($59). We ended dinner with Crème Brulee ($17). Both appetizers were very good. The very large baked crab cake was served with a light mustard sauce and small salad. The rich onion soup was covered with a thick layer of bubbly cheese. The lobster linguine was incredible. I expected a nice pasta dish with a few pieces of lobster. What I received was a large serving of linguine dressed with a very flavorful red sauce topped with at least 1/2 lobster - the large tender lobster tail was sliced and fanned on top of the pasta and tucked under was a large plump claw. My husband enjoyed his very generous portion of Chilean sea bass that was served with whipped potatoes and broccolini. The perfectly prepared sea bass was flaky and moist. The large crème brulee was a delicious end to a beautiful meal. read more

First off, the hostess was very nice, friendly and helpful. The rest of my time here was not the best or should I say we felt like we were non-existent. We placed a to go order at the restaurant and decided to get a bottle of wine (I know I'm paying a huge mark up on the bottle of wine. I'm now regretting not stopping by Brix Wine shop in the afternoon). The dining manager came up to me and asked me if this was the bottle of wine I wanted. Yes and that was it. Let me say that there probably wasn't more than 2 tables being served and lots of workers just hanging around. There really wasn't any personal connection. Maybe I was expecting too much for a to go order? We were just standing around waiting for our food. Nothing was offered at the bar - water on a hot day or hey, you can sit over there if you want. We didn't sit anywhere bc there was a reserve sign on the table closest to the hostess. (Who btw, came up to us and said, we could sit there after awhile - again they were the only ones that were truly nice). After spending almost $300 on a bottle of wine, more for food and tip, you would think this is an easy sale, you don't have to serve me and we're on our way back home. Easiest order of the day. I guess I just expected the service to be similar to one of our favorite steak restaurant, Del Frisco's Double Eagle which we are very familiar with (it's only a 6 minute walk and I should have taken the extra walk, but thought I'd try this place out). Onto the food. Filet Mignon - The steak was cooked as requested - medium rare. Chicken - Decent Broccoli & cauliflower - Fine but not worth the price of $14. Overall, I really wanted to give this restaurant a shot but I think I should have went to Del Frisco's. read more

What an amazing dinner. The food was outstanding! Cindy the server was just the best. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. She was friendly and outgoing. Make sure you ask for her when you go! The filet was mouth watering, the Caesar salad was perfect. The fresh bread to start off was incredible. The pastry chef is a magician with the Crème Brûlée and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. We are already looking forward to our next dinner there! Bravo!! read more

Ocean Prime! I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and for my birthday my friend treated me to dinner & WOW. Eddie V's Lobster Mac & Cheese is normally my #1 but Ocean Prime definitely gave them competition. Steak - (medium/well) cooked to perfection. It was nice, buttery, and very flavorful. The first bite left me speechless honestly. Teriyaki Salmon - (Friend's order) it was delicious! Dessert - I wanted to try the carrot cake but got the warmed butter cake with the berries & raspberry sauce it was excellent! LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE - easily my favorite. Good chunks of actual Lobster meat (not the rubbery stuff) flavorful and creamy. Creamed Spinach - I surprisingly loved this. Naturally creamed spinach wouldn't be something I'd think of ordering but glad my friend picked it because it was so good. Whipped Mashed Potatoes - velvety & so full of flavor. I will be back soon & trying the lobster tail! I'm only writing this review because I currently want it again. Ps - Espresso Martinis are made excellently here, but I mean what isn't haha Hats off to the chefs & bartender! Thank you for an unforgettable meal read more

Decided to try this place out for our date night and it was so worth it! Service was great, our waitress was extremely nice and made sure we were taken cared of. Food was delicious. For our appetizer, we ordered the Surf N Turf. Scallops were very good and the short ribs was okay. Probably wouldn't order it again but I don't regret it. We also ordered raw oysters, tasted so fresh and juicy. For our entree, I ordered the lamp chops, my husband ordered twin lobster tails, roasted Brussels sprouts and roasted garlic mash for our sides. Lambs were cooked to the way I liked and lots of flavors. The twin lobsters were also good, I could do w/o the crab meat though. Lastly, we ordered the creme brûlée for desserts. I was a bit disappointed because my caramelized sugar was extremely hard and tasted a little burnt, but still delicious. All in all, we enjoyed our dinner. Will definitely go back and try their steaks next time. read more

My family and I was here this past Saturday and we had a great experience! We had a seafood tower calamari, Chilean sea bass, and filet mignon. Calamari was just a little on salty side but everything was very flavorful. The service was also top notch. Very enjoyable all and all. read more

I LOVE IT HERE!!! Cannot say enough good things about this place. Every waiter I've had has been exceptional. The most recent time I went we had Bowie as our waiter and he was fantastic. The food is always top notch and the ambiance is unbeatable. We started with their calamari which is the best I've ever had and their east coast oysters. For our entree we ordered one of the specials, along with their jalapeño au gratin(my favorite) and their brussel sprouts. To finish we had their butter cake which is a must get when you go. I seriously could write a book about how much I love this place, if you're in the area, GO!!! read more

We had an amazing meal at Ocean Prime - the best we have had out in a long time. Our server--Andre--was just excellent, he knew the menu inside and out. We started with cocktails, hubby had a perfect Tito's Cosmo, I had the Berries & Bubbles (Belvedere Organic Lemon & Basil Vodka, Marinated Blackberries, Fresh Lemon, Domaine Chandon Brut, Dry Ice Smoke). It was a unique and very tasty cocktail. For dinner, we started with a shrimp appetizer, the app on the menu didn't appeal to us, so we asked for the scampi side dish as an app - Andre suggested just switching out the sauce on the app, as the side dish only had 2 shrimp and it worked out great. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked, the sauce was delicious. For our mains, I ordered the fillet and hubby ordered the NY strip, both cooked medium rare plus. For sides we had garlic mashed and steamed asparagus with hollandaise. The entire meal was fabulous, the steaks were perfectly cooked. One minor point -- we each had a glass of red wine, there wasn't a six ounce glass on the menu under $35. The room was a modern take on the classic chop house, a very Vegas feel. We'd definitely be back when we're in the Seaport. read more

Was it worth the price your in Boston it will always be more expensive but will I say that the food was out of this world no.

I am so disappointed in the experience I had with my husband at Ocean Prime tonight. We love to occasionally go out and splurge on a raw tower. We got the tower and built it ourselves by choosing what goes into it. We got 12 oysters on there ($64) they had to be the worst oysters I've ever had. Honestly looked like they were leftover from Sunday. There wasn't any salt water in the oyster, in fact they were stuck to the shell they were so dry! A couple times when we were wiggling them out of the shell, a layer of the shell came off with the oyster. As if they had been dried to the shell. I've never had oysters like this, impossible to eat. The lobster we got with it didn't even taste like lobster. Tasted like water. They probably let it chill in an ice bath and left it in there for days. We didn't end up saying anything to our waitress because she was missing most of the time. We saw her leave to smoke and come back at one point. We kind of just wanted to leave after that and go somewhere else for dinner. The worst seafood dinner we've had and not worth the $$. Maybe we'd give it a second shot but really turned off by the seafood selection tonight. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner since we were craving seafood. We over ordered but everything was delicious! Highly recommend the Berries and Bubbles cocktail -- tastes amazing and looks so cool! Deviled Eggs -- you get an order of 6 half eggs, which is more than they give you at most places! Strong truffle taste with a hint of caviar, but definitely filling and tasty! Lobster Bisque -- AMAZING! Slight spicyness and the consistency is great (not too thick and not watery). Smoked Gouda Tater Tots -- we were already so full but this dish but if you love cheese, this is worth a try! You get a basket full of big tater tots and it is extremely filling. Halibut over Lobster Risotto -- it's not on their menu but they offered it as a special. The fish itself is delicious but I really enjoyed the lobster risotto. Blackened Snapper -- a little spicy but good. Not the best thing on the menu but the restaurant recommends it if you're looking for something light! Lastly, we finished our dinner with an order of the Creme Brûlée. We asked for a candle since it was my birthday and the set it up nicely where the candle is in some whipped cream instead of your dessert! The dessert ended up being on the house, which we really appreciated! :) read more

Since we were dressed up for another event, this looked like a more upscale place to try. It is, servers dressed sharply, white tablecloths and candles. Perfect. Very nice menu of seafood and steaks. I went with the 2 lobster tails stuffed with crab meat, fabulous. Try the Gouda cheese tater tots too. My wife had the sea bass, great size portion, really flavorful. Too stuffed for dessert but will try next time, looked great ! Thanks read more

Wonderful upscale ambiance and delicious cocktail menu. I have been to the bar only, both eating and drinking, and the service was impeccable. I was even here one night alone after leaving a bad date (he was married....!) but ended up having a great time meeting others at the bar, even if they were my grandpa's age. Very attentive servers, highly recommend. read more

Had a fabulous time at Ocean Prime. We had a beautiful lounge seat and amazing service. They were very busy but the staff made to sure to keep us informed and not ignore us as we waited. Can't believe we were able to get in same day Saturday at 8:30! Ended up having a delicious dinner.. the tuna tartare and ocean roll were melt in your melt, the salad and soup was spot on too. Loved the steak and lobster linguine. Overall, we were very impressed with this restaurant and found it to be top quality. Will be back!! read more

Our waiter Francisco was fantastic. Great service. Great ambiance. However, I got the rack of lamb (second time) and ordered them medium rare how I always do. They came out severely undercooked. The center was COLD and purple. I swear I remember last year when I got them that they came out as a full rack of lamb and cut table side. This time they came out already pre cut and on a cold plate. We asked for them to be slightly cooked more and they came back half over cooked and the other half still raw. They made an entire new rack of lamb and still came out extremely undercooked, still on a cold plate. I definitely recommend not pre cutting this and placing on a hot plate. Like I said, I very much remember this is how it was done last year when I ordered them the same way and didn't have an issue. I'm writing a review mainly because I got EXTREME food poisoning the next day from the undercooked lamb. Absolutely miserable for 10 hours... please fix this issue. read more

Amazing food! Great service and very nice atmosphere! We are coming back next time we are back in town!

This is definitely a case where I wish we could add half stars. While I don't think OP has earned 3 stars, it definitely didn't earn 4. First impression, bartenders could care less. Asked for an old fashioned, didn't even give me a chance to tell her my preference for Bourbon, just walked away. Used Woodford, which isn't bad, but not my choice if I'm going out. Service in general is inconsistent and slow. This place is all about image, I could tell there were clientele who behaved like this was THE spot in Boston. It is not. But maybe it's one of the places to be seen. Ordered 2 sushi app's and shrimp cocktail for the table. The sushi apps were NO joke. Delicious. Definitely above Lola42's sushi. We all got NY strips, and 3 sides. One of us, his steak was medium, we all ordered medium rare. So it was over cooked. Sides weren't bad. One oddity, we ordered asparagus- this was the same asparagus you can get an a generic grocery store. For this price point the only asparagus that should be served is giant asparagus spears. Morton's, Cap Grill, Abe & Louis all serve this. I love the Seaport, but I feel there is better service at other establishments. I might go back for the sushi app and a proper old fashioned. We shall see. I think for proper steak there are better choices. read more

This is really a 5 but I could easily rate this a 3 or 3.5. Simply put, your paying a premium price for premium service - and the delivered. From the the pleasant greeting to the outstanding attention and service at the table. Little things like bring out the premium black cherry's for the Manhattan vs the red standard. Pleasant, consistent and we wee nt pushed not waited. Same for the food, you expect quality and for me the Lamb Chops were as good if not the best I have ever had. Really delicious, with a perfect sauce to go with them to accent the taste. I will come back, just for the chops! So a few nits I hope the management reads and takes not of: The hostess were very pleasant and cheerful. But with a booth, perfect for couples, putting two business folks there was uncomfortable nor good for a work related discussion, asking for a table should not have needed a conference. It amaze me the least expereince restaurant relationship folks are usually at the front door creating the first impression. The Lamb Chops above * again (excellent) came with a plated side vegetable, Peas? carrots? not sure, overcooked and tasteless. The tomato burrata special. Amazing, perfect end of summer treat with the sweet flavorful tomatoes. How disappointing that one slice was paper thin and the second slice looked like someone was in a rush and we had only a half slice, you can see the angle cut as such. It was a cheese and arugla special with some tomato, for the premium price this was disappointing. Loud, great vibe full of energy and great service, went to the bar for a night cap. So a 5 for the service rating less the nits to a 3 back to a 4 for the ambiance. read more

Ocean Prime - Bar is fun. - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The food was great and our server was outstanding. Our experience with management is causing the lower review. We went with a group of ten people to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. We were towards the end of our meal, had just been handed the dessert menus and were deciding what desserts and after-dinner drinks we were going to order. Instead, the the manager came over to us to tell us that a nearby table complained about our group's volume and we needed to quiet down to accommodate that guest's request. I don't doubt that we were likely louder than a table with two or four people, but I would say that the way in which the manager addressed the other table's concerns really altered the vibe of our celebration and it certainly caused us to cut our night at Ocean Prime short (which may have been what the restaurant wanted). So instead of staying there for a bit, we opted to leave the restaurant and finish our night at another establishment. I may return but certainly won't hurry back. There are plenty of restaurants in Boston more welcoming to large parties who may be loud but otherwise harmless while celebrating and enjoying each other's company. read more

Late dinner here with work friends, they were full up for reservations when I checked online. It was no better when I called so we figured we'd just wait it out when we arrived. It worked out well. There was an open table in the bar area and we just stayed there for our starters and dinner. Calimari to start was excellent. Crispy, not heavily battered and very tasty. Great dish to share. The deviled eggs were great but I'm not sure why three eggs were $13. Tasty and tangy with mustard, topped with caviar? You couldn't taste the caviar at all. For main, I chose the Chilean sea bass. A nice cut, very well plated. Delicious, cooked properly. Nice and flaky. For dessert, we got one order of the ten layer carrot cake. It was good. Excellent presentation and quite fancy. The icing was light and not too sweet. Tip: Get the jalapeno potatoes au gratin. Yum! read more

One of my best buddies is getting married. So I gave him the most useful present a married man could have: A ball-gag. I decided to force him into a game of Russian roulette. I sent it with a bunch of other gifts of similar size. I will have a good chuckle imagining him waiting for the mail so he can beat the wife to it. I got a cheerful reply from him telling me that he and the wife would both love it and it was going to be added to "the collection." I got an even better laugh out of that. I don't have hundreds of friends, but the few buddies I do have are the coolest cats on the planet. If a bunch of them hadn't moved away for better pay and lower rent, I would have invited them to Ocean Prime to celebrate my own second anniversary with Miss K. I'm definitely more gimp-mask dude than petals-on-the-bed guy, but once in a while it's necessary to put together a day that will tickle the fancy of even the least girly girl. I usually suck at it but I killed it this year. This restaurant is known for its seafood, which she loves. It has a half chicken I heard amazing things about, which tends to be her top choice, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. If you know your target audience, you have no excuse to fuck it up. Which is why I called ahead of time and told them to give us the most decadent dessert they could find. I wanted something so sinfully alluring, it would make a Shaolin monk throw the bowl of rice against the wall, slay his mentor, and whack off for the first time in years just to get to it. The chocolate cake they gave us was fucking exquisite. How eloquent, eh? "Fucking exquisite." Want to know the finer details? Then you just have to taste it. As far as I'm concerned, your granny's bundt cakes can embrace a moving train because THIS cake is the real shit. It came with ice cream and an oblong chocolate disk with "Happy Anniversary" written on it. Miss K ate half of it and she usually only pecks at desserts. It was the most effort a restaurant has gone to but as usual, I got all the credit and that's all that matters. Ocean Prime delivered. Thank you for helping me look good for our second anniversary! For me, though, the highlight was the Gerber Farms chicken. There weren't many elements in this dish (always a good sign) and the combination of the few elements there were was extremely innovative. On the side was a spinach bread salad. Blanched spinach and delicious croutons that tasted like they came from artisan bread. Their soft, luscious mouth feel was a great balance to the perfectly cooked (and possibly brined) chicken. The bird had a crust on the outside with the right amount of seasoning and some other elusive delicious flavor and was tender inside. You can't do it better than that. And for the freshness, there were some roasted cherry tomatoes, olives, and balsamic jus as well. You can't go wrong with olives and tomatoes even if you don't do anything to them. But if you roast the tomatoes and marinade the olives, you've just elevated the experience. It gave me a choice between tart and low-key tangy but also a choice between sweet and sour. To me, balsamic vinegar is kind of like a hot politician. You'd do her in a second but there's a lot you don't like about her. Balsamic needs some tweaks before it gets my vote. Taming its strong flavors with the drippings from the chicken and turning it into more of a jus than a glaze is one of the best ways to do it. It's a great dip for the tougher cuts of chicken. Who is the culinary wizard that whipped this dish up? (S)he should be given the legal right to polygamy and driving drunk. You can flatten me with your Corolla if I can have this dish just once again in my life, you wicked talented genius. read more

Without hesitation, definitely one of our top favorite steakhouse! Although we were about 20 minutes late to our reservation, they were still kind & seated us immediately. The ambiance was lovely. The service was top notch. All staff members were marvelous in making sure our table was clean, dishes were taken, & waters refilled. The drinks were delicious! Definitely recommend the espresso martini & the berry drink. The food was absolutely delicious, not one item that we did not enjoy. We didn't get a picture of the shellfish tower but it was absolutely stunning! I'm sad that I cannot remember our waiter's name but he was very sophisticated, informative, & ensured everything was to perfection. I love that our table was a good size & had room to fit all the food comfortably. We went for the first time last night & cannot wait to return! read more

My husband, eight-year-old son, and I were looking for a fine dining option in Seaport. My cousin works in the area and recommended Ocean Prime. He recommended we make a reservation as it does get very popular especially on the weekend. I was able to make a reservation via OpenTable a few days before. Thank goodness, because even for an earlier reservation, that place was very crowded. They have an outdoor seating area, and to our surprise, the outdoor area is pet friendly. We weren't bringing our pet on this night, but we usually don't travel without her and always have a really hard time in the Boston area finding pet friendly spots. We did choose to sit indoors for this fine dining experience. The host brought us to the very back of the restaurant, so we got to see the entire place. It is truly beautiful. A+ for environment. One of the managers even came over and rearranged the chairs so that our baby could fit and was not in the line of traffic. Our server approached us and quickly got our drink order. I ordered a Twomey (SP?) Sauvignon Blanc and my husband ordered bourbon on the rocks. They brought over bread and butter which looked delicious, but we wanted to save ourselves for our entrées. We ordered a half dozen oysters which were absolutely delicious. A perfect starter for our evening. I ordered the chili and Seabass, and my husband ordered the filet. We ordered a few sides to match as the entrées came out à la carte. Our service was great, the environment was great, the food was great, everything was great. I have not a bad thing to say about this experience. When we come back we're going to sit outside and bring our puppy! read more
