My family and I had the pleasure of dining at Ocean Prime on Sunday, March 23 and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the hosts and felt immediately at ease. Our server, Keviah, was incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the evening. As first-time diners at Ocean Prime, we greatly appreciated Keviah's thorough explanations of the menu and her thoughtful recommendations, which did not disappoint.
To start, we shared several appetizers, including the Surf N Turf, featuring perfectly seared scallops and melt-in-your-mouth braised short rib, topped with a flavorful gremolata. We also tried the Hamachi Crudo, with pickled mango, sweet peppers, cilantro, and a sesame ginger vinaigrette, as well as the rich Lobster Bisque. The Surf N Turf was a standout dish, with the combination of textures and flavors leaving a lasting impression.
For the main course, my family and I each opted for the 14oz New York Strip, which was cooked to perfection. The option to add sauces to the steak was a nice touch, and based on Keviah's recommendation, I chose the Black Truffle Butter, while my mother and brother went with the Au Poivre. Both options were excellent, adding depth and richness to the already tender and flavorful steaks.
As for sides, Keviah recommended the Jalapeño Au Gratin, which quickly became my mother's favorite of the evening. It was creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. We also enjoyed the whipped potatoes and the miso-chili roasted broccoli, both of which complemented our main dishes beautifully.
To end the meal, we indulged in the Crème Brûlée, which was a delightful finish to our dining experience. The dessert was soft, with a perfect caramelized sugar top that offered the ideal balance of sweetness and texture.

The restaurant is intimate and quiet, with a dimly lit dining room that fosters private conversations without feeling too noisy.
