We tried this place with some visiting family members on a Saturday evening with a reservation before a show at DCPA. We were seated in a private room which was very nice and quiet. The service was just okay for a restaurant with four dollar signs (should be five). I expect the very best food and service at this price point. I've had better service at family style restaurants. The goat cheese ravioli was good, but not worth $23. We also tried the Brussels, smoked Gouda tater tots, and the steak tartare, neither were exceptional. $10 for a mediocre, small, lukewarm bread basket is insane when you are already paying crazy prices to eat there. It should at least be fresh and hot. I tried the Blackened Snapper with Corn Spoon Bread, Haricot Verts, Red Pepper, Corn Emulsion. It was delicious and cooked well. Although it is pretty easy to make something taste good when it's literally swimming in a butter sauce pond. All in all it was an okay experience but was the most expensive food I've ever had. It was definitely not worth the almost $900 we spent for 7 people. I usually try to stick to family owned and small businesses, because corporate chains always seem to disappoint, and this one was not an exception. There are much better options at this price point in Denver.
Pretty easy to get a reservation. The place is more casual than any steakhouses Ive been to and the food is delicious. Crab cake was so good (will order again), scallops appetizer was a bit too rich for me, the fries are close to perfect (wish they were a bit crunchier but still great nonetheless). Blue cheese crust on my husbands steak was probably the best addition and version of blue cheese addition we've had recently--love that it's a bit burnt and crunchy! Wine list has great options...tried a few different ones on their "suggested prime menu" and the reds are worth it.
Really nice experience visiting. Had a party of 10 and they seated us in a private room. The wait staff was amazing and the food was superb!
Mikey is simply the best!!! If you want to love your cocktails and your bartender go see Mikey.
Got takeout and it was great. Twin lobster tails were tender, tasty, with plenty of butter on the side, and easy to eat. The chocolate torte was soooo delicious as well. Can't wait to order from here again.
Extremely Disappointing Experience at Ocean Prime Denver I never imagined I would witness something like this at a fine dining establishment, especially one with the reputation and price point of Ocean Prime in Denver. During our visit, I witnessed a dog eating directly off a restaurant dining plate. I was honestly shocked. While I have absolutely nothing against dogs, as I have a fur baby myself, there is a time and place for everything, and allowing an animal to eat directly from restaurant dinnerware raises serious concerns about sanitation and hygiene. When dining at an upscale restaurant, customers expect exceptional service, quality food, and, most importantly, high standards of cleanliness. My concern isn't about the dog being present. It's about the restaurant's responsibility to maintain appropriate sanitary standards for all guests. I brought the situation to the attention of our server, Oz. He checked with his manager and returned to tell us that it was acceptable because the dishwasher includes a sanitizing step. He then walked away. Approximately two minutes later, while we were still having our drinks and finishing our dessert, Oz returned and asked whether we wanted to order anything else or if he should bring the check. We felt rushed and as though we were being pushed out of the establishment. That made me feel even worse about bringing the issue to their attention, as though I were in the wrong for raising a legitimate sanitation concern. I understand that dishes are washed and sanitized between uses, but witnessing a dog eat directly from restaurant dinnerware, followed by the dismissive response and the way we were treated afterward, left me questioning how situations like this are handled and what policies are actually in place. For a restaurant of this caliber, I would expect better oversight, clearer boundaries, and a more professional response to customer concerns. Ocean Prime Denver, is this an acceptable practice at your establishment? I'm genuinely interested in hearing how management addresses situations like this because customers deserve to feel confident about the cleanliness of the dishes they're eating from, and respected when they bring concerns to the staff's attention.
What an exceptional dining experience from start to finish! We chose to sit outside on the beautiful patio, which created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing evening. The meal began with complimentary truffle popcorn, a thoughtful touch that was absolutely delicious. For starters, we enjoyed the Caesar salad and french onion soup, both of which were outstanding. The Caesar was fresh and flavorful, while the french onion soup was rich, comforting, and perfectly prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the sea bass with truffle oil, and it was cooked to perfection. The fish was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the truffle oil elevated the dish beautifully without overpowering it. The Black Orchid Martini was equally impressive--a perfect balance of tart and sweet, refreshing and expertly crafted. It was easily one of the best cocktails I've had. A special thank you to our server, Mark, who made the experience even more memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and provided attentive, professional service throughout the meal. Between the lovely patio setting, outstanding food and drinks, and exceptional service, this was a truly five-star experience. I can't wait to return!
We chose Ocean Prime to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, with my mother in law joining us. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, though it seemed the staff was a bit puzzled at first. They escorted us upstairs to our table, and we noticed a few curious looks. It turned out my husband had noted our anniversary on the reservation, and since we were a party of three, no one was quite sure whose anniversary it was! Once we clarified, everyone laughed, and the ice was broken -- it made for a fun start to the evening. We started with drinks, and if you enjoy a good espresso martini, I highly recommend ordering one here -- perfectly balanced and delicious. For appetizers, I had the spicy tuna sushi, which was better than many sushi restaurants I've tried. For my entrée, I chose the grouper with homemade gnocchi -- absolutely incredible, even compared to some of the best seafood spots in Florida. My husband started with the creamy lobster bisque and also ordered the grouper, while my mother had the scallops, which were large and beautifully cooked. We finished the evening with their warm butter cake -- it literally melted in our mouths. The service throughout the night was attentive and impressive. As we drove home, we all said the same thing: "Why don't we come here more often?" Thank you, Ocean Prime, for an amazing evening and a memorable anniversary celebration.
I very rarely order chicken when I eat out but I decided to try something different than times past while dining at OP. Let me say it did not disappoint. It was very juicy and flavorful. I am not a fan of chicken breasts but if they all tasted like this I would change my mind. :) Delicious!!! And the spinach bread salad was the perfect compliment to the dish. I sat at the bar and Mike was amazing. Gave great recommendations when ordering and was friendly and funny with everyone at the bar. A great meal for sure! @oceanprimelarimersquare, #oceanprime, #acameronmitchellreataurant, #greatfood
Always a fun place for good quality drinks and exceptional food , we sat in the bar area and enjoyed cocktails and champagne and complimentary truffle popcorn.
Came in with a party of four for a local business event. Had a great time, lots of options and took care of one person that had some dietary restrictions. I had the Salmon and it was large in size and definitely with a few shared sides plenty for me :-) Had the yummy Old Fashioned and service was top notch throughout our stay. Nice area around the location and would love to come back if in town. Prices are in line with other top locations around the country, and the service and options they provide :-)
Amazing atmosphere not only at its location with proximity to larimer square but also the decor and environment inside. Our server was great, very friendly and energetic but not overbearing either. Got us a few items waived with discount too. Food itself was also delicious. The warm bread basket was a big surprise, a variety of bread freshly made and extremely soft. Steak and sides were amazing!
I'm from the Bay Area me and friend went here to celebrate my birthday. It was both our first time eating at Ocean Prime Denver. After reading all the reviews, It did not disappoint. We were immediately greeted by host and asked for a table outside, but when it started to drizzle they accommodated us to inside no issues. Ben was our server, was very knowledge of menu. Often checked with us with a smile. We started with the goat cheese ravioli. Yum! We both had the fillet mignon steaks cooked to perfection. The baked potatoes were soft, fluffy buttery. I recommend the brussels sprouts for some greens. We were too full to eat dessert but Ben took care of this and provided a comped bday carrot cake for me to take home to enjoy. But why no happy birthday song bro??? Bottom line Great Service Great Food. Nuff said, just book your reservation already!
Reviews are largely positive. Diners praise the attentive and friendly staff, consistent food quality, and elegant special-occasion ambiance, with many enjoying the creative cocktails.

We made reservations here on a Friday night and called ahead around noon which was not a problem at all to get a table. We sat in the bar area at a booth and were able to still order the full dinner menu. We ordered a few cocktails which were so yummy and started with the shrimp cocktail. It came out on dry ice and was smoking all the way to the table. We ordered the ribeye to share paired with béarnaise sauce. For the sides we ordered the truffle Mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, and hollandaise asparagus. I wasn't too big of a fan of the mashed potatoes but the Mac and cheese was definitely the star of the show. Our steaks were cooked to a perfect medium and the sauce paired nicely together with it. We had some red wine with our dinner and then waited a while for our food to settle. The service was decent but we were not offered dessert and we were up sold on almost everything which I understand but it was a little pushy. Finally we ordered two desserts, the crème brûlée and warm butter cake with ice cream and the butter cake was absolutely amazing! I would come back to this restaurant just for this dessert. I only have videos of the appetizer and entree which it will not allow me to post on Yelp but nonetheless the food was delicious! read more

Great service! Great food! Amazing atmosphere! Our server had amazing knowledge of the menu with some great recommendations of the specials! Loved that their fish was fresh daily! Would go back again! read more
Last night we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary/10 year dating anniversary at Ocean Prime. It started with a glass of champagne compliments of Ocean Prime. Then we were seated upstairs overlooking Larimer. Our server, Carolyn, was absolutely amazing! She suggested splitting the two specials of the day and sharing them. Perfect idea!! We split the 18oz bone out ribeye steak and the mix seafood option that they had.The seafood plate had a piece of halibut setting on whipped potatoes and covered with chimichurri, 2 mussels, and octopus. This is the first time that they had ever offered octopus. They didn't disappoint. Everything we had was well cooked and tasted great. Thank you, Carolyn!! read more

Had an amazing dinner at Ocean Prime on a Monday evening. I was with a group of 8 & we were able to get one of the private rooms upstairs which elevated our entire experience. We had a great waitress and assistant waiter. I want to take a moment to explain how TOP notch the service was. Every question we had was answered, we got full descriptions of every off menu item, our dirty plates were taken away super promptly & our silverware changed out. The food could have been bad and the service would have made up for it. But... the food was amazing!!! With the large group we ordered a LOT of options - calamari, steak tartare, truffle caviar deviled eggs, seafood tower, Gouda tater tots, broccoli, truffle mac, and Brussels to share. I ordered the ahi tuna entree with scallops on the side. The scallops were prepared to perfection and everyone at the table was asking if we could get more. For dessert we got the peanut butter cake, chocolate cake, creme brûlée and sorbet. My favorite was the creme brûlée and cracking the sugar top was so much fun! I hope I am able to get back here asap. Would highly recommend this spot for any event -- even if that event is as simple as you want a great meal. Thank you ocean prime! read more
The food is always amazing here. So good!!! The service was impeccable, including plating our shared entrees in a way that we didn't have to split them ourselves. Larimer square is gorgeous the ambiance is low lighting with beautiful views. Would go back. read more

Just ate dinner here about three weeks ago for the third time the food is great the service is great the price is super high I've never spent $475 for dinner before! But I'm sure we will be back again read more
In a word rough. Maybe the worst steak I've had at a steak place ever, and I've eaten at a ton. Came here last night after a long day at Larimer square, it was 10 pm, we hadn't really eaten all day, we were starved and ready to treat ourselves to a GOOD meal. We were totally wiped so going anywhere else that wasn't within a block was out of the question and too dressed down for cap grill so we opted for the OP lounge. Our waitress was amazing, drinks A++, the french onion soup to die for & buttery. The sweet chili sauce on the calamari was overpoweringly sweet and drowning the the whole app. For dinner we ordered their largest most expensive cut on the regular menu the 24 oz bone in, with a truffle Mac. I don't know why, if it was late, if the chef was distracted, or if this is just their normal but it came out completely charred, blackened, and burned. Like a burnt piece of toast, the crust was thick, crunchy and bitter. Leaving no room for any other taste to come through. The inside was almost raw and tepid not medium rare. There was a lot of grizzle on the cut and In addition to all of this it was wayyyy under seasoned when we tried to cut off the burnt pieces to get to the meat. I'm sure they must of salted it but judging by taste they didn't, or it was burned all off under the flames. I would have sent it back...it deserved to be sent back. But we had zero energy, too hungry to deal with waiting for the manager to find our table and then wait for something else at after 10:30 at night so we just picked at what we could salvage. The truffle Mac hardly tasted of truffle just very very basic mac and cheese, I wouldn't order it again. So I'm not sure what happened, Steaks can be difficult but is it too much to ask that it taste good, or even just decent when your meal for 2 comes to over $200? I would say I would opt for seafood next time but our meal was so bad I don't think we would want to risk returning. We love treating ourselves on the reg and this isn't our first visit to this restaurant group, but not when paying that much a terrible meal where the entree shouldn't have been served. Disappointed is an understatement. Besides the one soup & wine everything was either over dressed, or under seasoned, and the steak was a trifecta of poor quality, unseasoned, and worst of all tasted like it had been cooked over a backyard grill fire. I was actually going to email them because it was that bad but the website didn't seem to list that information. read more

My wife and I celebrated my 60th birthday and really looked forward to this dining experience. We began with the sushi of the night which was delicious. Then came our filets, lobster, garlic mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. My wife and I rated the filets an 8 out of 10. I have personally cooked better filets. The lobster was lobster and the potatoes and brussel sprouts were very good. To finish off the evening, since it was my birthday, I was given a desert. I chose the mile high carrot cake with was outstanding! Our waiter had worked there for 13 years and enhanced our dining experience. Overall, I would give it a 4 out of 5 but wasn't worth the $350 spent. read more
Came here for a date in February-ish (pre shutdown). Love this place. 5-star everything (as you would expect!) 5-star service. Attentive, social but not overbearing 5-star drinks (berry bubbles cocktail is one of the best in the city IMO) 5-star food. Scallops were perfectly cooked, and GET THE CARROT CAKE 5-star atmosphere, oversized booths and great decor read more

We went for a 5pm dinner. Service is prompt, ambience is very pleasant and food is overall good. The crab cake appetizer was tasty but too small for the price. However tuna tartare was well worth it. Chocolate cake was good but not great, I expected more. Get the bread basket it's fresh and tasty! read more

Planned a surprise birthday party and spoke with Erin beforehand and she was amazing and so accommodating and so easy to work with! Everything was perfect from the time I arrived I was greeted with help with the bags and balloons I had. The hosts quickly lead the way to the private room and it was perfectly set! The manager came to greet us at one point and wished us luck on surprising my cousin. Our server JON! Wow we all ended up applauding him at the end because his formality was perfect! He knew what we could pair our food with. He knew his menu and he knew his steaks! We ordered almost 7 different dishes; and I think we ordered almost every side there was! Jon even mentioned there was a veggie stir fry for our vegetarian!!! Everything was perfect! The birthday party was a success we plan to do every birthday parties at ocean prime and requesting Jon to be our server. read more

Incredibly hard to get into, we had to book our rez a week in advance. Delicious food, romantic ambiance, service is on point, and great location ... BUT parking can be a pain if you don't valet, which is a bit pricey. There's a speakeasy a few doors down, or you can stroll through Larimar, either are lovely. read more

Finally getting around to reviewing this location! Very kind and hard working staff, and they are always so cautious about allergens here. Food all came out quite timely and the presentation was amazing. Only thing that was a little unfortunate was that both steaks at our table were ordered medium and came out bright red. Though, we always enjoy eating at Ocean Prime and really enjoyed the room we had been put in! Great views of down town Denver! No crab is being served right now for the record. Our server put the deserts on the house for a birthday at the table which was so generous! Not to mention the wine menu is absolutely fantastic! I would reccomend this place to anyone who is yet to try it! read more

I had so much fun here on a girls night. We split sushi, calamari, and the surf and turf along with a few cocktails. The Berries & Bubbles cocktail was cool to watch as the waitress made it at the table (plus it was delicious!). read more

The beet salad was outstanding! It has a perfect mix of flavors and was a generous size for a salad. The beef tartare was good. We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening and ambiance until the end when it got dark and ROACHES started crawling all over the table and on us. I understand this is outside in a city but the roaches were disgusting and unexpected for a restaurant of this nature. My rating is due to the roaches. If you go consider sitting inside to avoid this issue. read more

My husband and I were enjoying a night out as we continue to celebrate our marriage a week and a half ago. Camila took amazing care of us! We started with the special appetizer which was a wonderful serving of mussels. Then to bone in filets with the over the top taster tots they have as a side option to share. Camila even offered us a dessert on her for our wedding celebration. Ocean prime is always amazing quality food, but to also have a wonderful waitress truly makes the night perfect. Thank you! read more
Perfect for a date night as well as group dinners I would say! Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was outstanding. I had the perfect Filet mignon with truffle butter ( my mouth waters thinking of the amazing food I had as I write this review), the perfect Shrimp sauté and the best dessert! The perfect dinner to be precise. Not to forget the bubbling berry drink which was indeed extremely interesting and I would highly suggest you try it! For desserts I ordered the peanut butter mousse cake based on our waiter, Anthony's suggestion and man was I glad I took his advice! Huge portion for a dessert with perfect texture. It was perfect! To conclude I can just say that I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Everything I ordered was excellent! I can confidently say that you will have a good experience at Ocean Prime! read more

What is a favorite menu item?
Save room for the Carrot Cake! There is a reason it is in the main box on the dessert menu! The crab cake is not the deep fried pattie pancake thing you get at most places...grouper phenomenal, and like everyone else, go with the filet mignon if…
