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.
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.
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!
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!
Of course ocean prime is a great steakhouse. You know exactly what you are getting. One trick is to go for happy hour!
Our group of 6 was met promptly and guided to large comfortable table that made conversation easy. Soon a delicious crab cake arrive and cooked as request. Also there was possibly the best ahi tuna tartare I've ever tasted. Next was a blackened red snapper which was cooked perfectly as well but the star was a beautiful grouper with lobster, gnocchi, spring peas and a hint of lemon jus Dessert were good but the surprise star was a peanut butter pie with a deep chocolate shell. Everyone at the table had a fork out for a second bite of it. Service was attentive and relaxed. A great evening with great food

Very fancy corner location and great for special occasions. The seafood was very fresh and I loved the super sour sourdough bread basket. The staff was extremely attentive. The dining rooms were dimly lit and very chic. I highly recommend this fine dining experience for a special date or occasion or business dinner. read more

Ocean Prime exceeded our expectations! We chose it because it was near the location of a business meeting we attended. We were celebrating our anniversary and really just expected an ordinary night out. When we arrived, there were rose petals on the table. Our server, Mark, was wonderful and the food was delicious. Then, we ordered dessert. The picture attached is how the dessert was presented. Beautiful! read more
First time here and I have to really give it to the cozy atmosphere for an expensive steak house. The background music really compliments the comfort food vibe. Regardless of the occasion you're celebrating. Service was really attentive. Foods on the other hand did not meet the price point. Everything was at best hotel-room service level if you know what that means. Not a single dish really stood out. I did not expect to have comfort food at an expensive restaurant....while paying expensive price. But if I was to say what stood out was the vanilla ice cream topping the warm butter cake...never had such light vanilla ice cream that was rich and not too sweet at the same time. read more

Amazing food, fantastic service! Valet parking available, or metered street parking in the area. Do take note that they do have a dress code. Came here for a company dinner and left quite happy. We went a tad early, sat upstairs around 530 so it was loud and many kids around. That environment was perfect for us as we tend to speak loudly as well. They also have many private dining alcoves you can request. Danny and Lupe took care of us. They were phenomenal! The food was great, but their service was even better. Attentive and professional/personable. They made our experience that much better, and it will be hard to top that when we come back. All of our food was delicious. and there was a decent wine selection as well. My personal favorite was the sweet chili calamari steak, lobster and butter cake. I would potentially skip the prawns and mac and cheese, not up to the standards or presentations as the other items. Great for business dinners, family/friends get togethers and date nights. This is going to be one of my go-to client dinner spots. Overall, I would say this was a 5-star experience. read more
Dined with a large group on a Saturday night. Place was lively but not overwhelmingly crowded. Just love the not-too-dark ambience. Started with the smoky old fashioned which was delicious. I shared a perfect beet and goat cheese salad. Our group ordered teriyaki salmon (huge piece of salmon) on a bed of shiitake mushroom rice, grouper, shellfish salad, lamp chops, and sea bass. Everything came out great. Small hiccup was that the risotto with the sea scallops was very salty. When we mentioned it to our server, he apologized and appreciated our feedback so that he could inform the chefs. Finished the meal with warm butter cake, crème brûlée, and French press coffee. They do have valet parking if that's something that interests you. You have to ask for the restaurant to validate your parking for a discounted rate. Overall, love the service, ambience, and food. Would definitely recommend and come back for more dining experiences. read more

Service was amazing, food was yummy. They have coat check and pedicab drivers out front. The Wagyu steak and lobster Mac n cheese were bomb dot con. The crab cake delicious. My only criticism was the bathrooms needed an attendant or something as they were gross. The men were using the women's bathroom and missing the toilet. read more

Service is amazing and very tentative. Beautiful warm romantic atmosphere. Drinks were delicious and strong. Will always be craving this sushi! The surf and turf was just the right amount of rich with soft fresh scallops and tender beef. The steaks were cooked to perfection and were melting in our mouths. We also had the lobster macaroni and it was a large helping that is easy to share, but you won't want to! This was a birthday dinner for myself from my husband and I absolutely loved it! read more
Everything about this dinner was amazing. The restaurant is very nice, and our servers were great. We started with drinks and apps, both were delicious. I ordered the sea bass for dinner and it was so fresh, buttery, flakey and delicious. I was visiting the Denver area but learned there is an ocean prime near where I live in Michigan so I will most definitely be visiting again! read more

Fantastic food and service -- all in the elegant atmosphere of Larimer Square. I absolutely love patio dining here when the weather is nice. The berries & bubbles cocktail is just the funnest drink ever -- and a must try for the ladies! Their cocktail game is generally very strong here. They make both excellent seafood and steaks -- and the selection is extensive. They also do my favorite seafood salad in town. Their Sunday menu is a pretty great deal, too: a set $70 per person for a first course app and a filet second course with sides. Lots of the bottles of wine are 50% off Sundays too. read more

Located downtown on the corner of Denver's historic Larimer Square, Ocean Prime is one of my favorite spots to celebrate & indulge. From their newly renovated dining rooms to their lounge, & seasonal outdoor terrace, this is a prime spot to socialize. There are Ocean Prime locations in downtown Denver & in the Denver Tech Center. We were seated upstairs overlooking Larimer Square which was all lit up along with the city (such a vibe). The staff of Ocean Prime was exceptional as always - GM, Travis and server, Royce were polished and so likeable. We wanted for nothing during our meal & let them run the show, they knew the menu inside out and out. The aesthetics of the space along with the staff set the tone for an incredible meal. We started with a round of Black Orchids made with Belvedere Organic Blackberry & Lemongrass Infusion, St. Germain, Fresh Lemon & White Cranberry Juice. This is my favorite cocktail at Ocean Prime. The Black Orchid came in a martini glass with an ice orb that held an orchid flower inside. The cocktail had aromas & flavors of blackberry & lemon that burst onto the palate with a lovely juicy sweetness - refreshing and so easy to drink. The Smoked Old Fashioned was made with Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey, House Demerara Syrup, Angostura & Orange Bitters, & Charred Cherry Wood Smoke. I really enjoyed this Old Fashioned; it was served from a decanter and poured into an etched highball glass. In that glass was a pristine 2x2 Ocean Prime ice cube. The cherry wood smoke sexily combined with the whiskey when poured. The cocktail was smooth with notes of dark caramel, maple syrup and a fading smokiness. The Berries & Bubbles was made with Belvedere Organic Lemon & Basil Vodka, Marinated Blackberries, Fresh Lemon Juice, Piper Sonoma Brut, & Dry Ice Smoke. This cocktail is always a crowd pleaser with the dry ice smoke bubbles and fruit forward taste. The Hot & Dirty Martini was made with Olive Oil Infused Belvedere Vodka, Calabrian Chili Blue Cheese Stuffed Castelvetrano Olives. The martini was shaken vigorously with ice, strained into a prism coup and garnished with stuffed olives. For food we started off with Ocean Prime's complementary bread - the pretzel bread was my favorite. The Smoking Shellfish Tower was made with oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, and chilled crab meat cocktail. The tower was showstopping. The generous pieces of chilled crab dipped in the Crab-Louie sauce was my favorite. The Point Judith Calamari was served with sweet chili sauce. The fresh calamari rings were lightly breaded and fried golden. The sweet chili sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The Chef's Feature Sushi Roll was made with Sea Bass Tempura. The crunch and sweetness of the roll made for great flavor & texture. The Hamachi Crudo was served with Pickled Mango, Sweet Peppers, Cilantro, Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette. Gorgeous sushi dish and so fresh. The Chilean Sea Bass was served with Broccolini, Pearl Onion, Potato Puree, & Truffle Vinaigrette. The Chilean Sea Bass is Ocean Prime's most popular entree and if you've never had it, you must. The Chilean Sea Bass had a mild, delicate flavor & the light fish melted in our mouths. The truffle vinaigrette was luscious. The 16oz Ribeye was cooked perfectly. It was well-marbled (but lean trimmed) & robust in rich beef flavor. We had to try one of the Seafood Season Specials (available February 20th & onwards). The King Salmon was pan seared & served over Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes, Buttered Leeks, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Haricot Verts. This dish was finished with a Pinot Noir Butter and Castelvetrano Olive Tapenade For sides we had the Jalapeno Au Gratin, Asparagus & Hollandaise, and the Smoked Gouda Tater Tots. The tots were crisp potato pillows of cheesy goodness. The interior was hot & fluffy with potato and creamy cheese. For Dessert we had the Warm Butter Cake served with Fresh Berries, Vanilla Ice Cream, Raspberry Sauce and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie made with Peanut Butter Mousse & Bittersweet Chocolate Ganache. The Warm Butter Cake is one of my top 3 favorite desserts in Denver. The cake was piping hot with vanilla ice cream melting atop. The sugar exterior was lightly crisped with a densely moist interior making for gooey & buttery bites. The bright fresh fruit complimented the rich cake perfectly. A must order! To end this phenomenal meal - we toasted with champagne. read more
My friend and I came here to eat but we couldn't find parking so we went back to my hotel and caught a Lyft. When we made it inside we were greeted by a gentleman that asked my name, I told him my name and he informed me they were getting the table ready. I spoke to a gal that appeared at the hostess desk named Bre, we shared a laugh and she said my table was ready to follow her. We went upstairs and were seated in a rounded booth. After we sat for a minute Kaila greeted us and took our drink orders and answered some questions we had about items on the menu. When Kaila returned we put in our food orders. I ordered the teriyaki salmon, with a side of shrimp, and also an order of lobster macaroni and cheese. My friend ordered the teriyaki salmon as well. In between time a gentleman stopped by and filled our cups with water, he was very friendly. We ordered some mixed drinks and when they came they were perfect. My friend and I both had Tito's Vodka mixed with cranberry juice. All in all the food was fantastic, the drinks were good, and the service we received from Kaila made the night perfect. I want to thank Kaila, Bre, and the restaurant for such a wonderful experience read more
Excellent seafood! Oysters on the half shell, lovely fish main courses and the desserts! Try the warm butter cake or the mile high carrot cake. Or be virtuous and try their sorbets - different choices every day. Service is excellent and prompt. Also the bubbles and berries is $8 during happy hour and is quite the show! read more

Wow. This place is stunning. The building, the decor, the hosts, the bartenders, the servers, the whole staff. Everyone and everything, stunning. I don't eat at a lot of restaurants because I've learned how to cook and sometimes home cooked meals are 10x better than food at restaurants. But Ocean Prime really outdoes itself in every way imaginable. There wasn't a single thing I ate that I didn't like. And the moscato is as smooth as the butter they put in their food. I think about it quite often actually. It's tempting to just buy a bottle. I could go into detail about the flavour and everything but I don't want to. I'd rather you just experience it for yourself. Eating at Ocean Prime is a flavour experience. Thanks you for my congratulations carrot cake, thank you for caring, and I'll always cherish such a fond memory. read more

Let's start with the service FIVE freaking stars. This service is truly one of a kind. They were so attentive. And knowledgeable. You could not tell me I didn't have my own personal waiter! I was a walk-in with no reservations on a really busy night (Tuesday) and I was able to get seating. The hostess was a superstar getting me seated almost immediately. Being that I was solo I opted for the bar during happy hour but still was able to get in. Thanks girly! The restaurant is beautiful. Oozes elegance. The lighting, the stairs, the furnishings. EVERYTHING is high end. They are also in a prime location of Larimer Square so if you are in the area don't be afraid to drop in. They also have outdoor seating, and yes, it's cold but they have it covered with heaters inside. The chairs were comfortable. I didn't feel stuffed in at the bar. The only downside is they don't provide purse hooks at the bar and I absolutely hate dining with my purse on the table. The gentleman at the bar really took care of me. My drinks and food came out so quick and the service again was out of this world. I have zero complaints about my experience here. The other patrons at the bar was so friendly that even though I came alone I didn't feel alone on bit. The vibe here is contagious. How could you be in a bad mood here?! Honestly a couple paid for a few of my drinks, like randomly offered because I slid down to make room. Talking about a win! I ordered the crab cake to start. This was not my favorite, it had some strong tang that I didn't love, too much lemon perhaps. But it was edible! I also had the scallops. WHOAAA! Mind blown at how delicious this dish was. The scallops were fresh. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. The risotto OMGGGG just spectacular by far the best I've had to date. Its creamy and flavorful. I am actually debating doubling back tonight to run this dish back! The berries and bubbles is refreshing, pretty and absolutely delicious. This drink is for sure the way to go. I'm not a vodka girl but this was great. Will definitely get this every time I come here. I actually had 3 if that lets you know how much I enjoyed my drink. Plus, during Happy Hour these drinks are $8. Ocean prime is perfect for any occasion. Work meeting, family dinners, date nights, anniversaries, birthday's whatever your heart desires. They also have private dining areas. read more
When rating a high-end establishment like Ocean Prime it's a challenge because you must consider all aspects of the business. Food quality, service, atmosphere and attention to detail. Unfortunately, my daughter's 30th birthday celebration went from awesome to average in very short order. Our waitress was an excellent, seasoned employee who knows a quite a lot about the restaurant but was soon overwhelmed when she went from one to three tables quickly. I observed quietly as our party of five talked and enjoyed the evening. The table next to us had a different waitress who seemed to give her one table awesome attention. We arrived at 5pm and were seated in the corner as they filled tables around us. The drinks were excellent, and the calamari appetizer was very good. She took our order and then the party was over. Our waitress was now busy getting the other tables orders. After watching the four surrounding tables being served their meals, I started to scratch my head that something was amiss. I had to stand up briefly to grab her attention and she immediately knew what I was about to say. She said, "I know sir, checking on your order now". After that our plates started to arrive. She sat every dish to the wrong person, so we switched them around until everyone was eating. My steak, Oscar style came out lukewarm, like it had been sitting for a few in the back. I asked my wife and others who said theirs were good. Bottom line is I did grab one of the Managers who said he would take care of it, discounted the tab, but since I wasn't the paying party I'm not sure what it was he took care of. Needless to say, we had a very long two-hour dinner, but not by choice. All the other parties who arrived after us had left. I do like it here and pretty sure this was a one-off mis hap. I am going to stop writing now, but left a tad frustrated. Ocean Prime is a fine establishment, who I would say yes to if asked. My apologies, as this experience I did have to get off my chest. read more
Delightful and delicious Great food with great service. Enjoyed Date night with the family. Christian provide a great service and the food was delicious I had the Ahi Tuna and it was on point. The Boys had an 8 ounce sirloin and a half pound of king crab legs. The wife had an 8 ounce sirloin as well as we split brussels sprouts and au gratin potatoes. All delicious and highly recommend the Tuna it was delicious . We will be back read more
Great place for a date night. It's on the fancy and pricey side. We went on a Friday night, and even with the large crowd, it was still an intimate space. Make sure to get a reservation. We both took our server's recommendation and went with the fish. I also had a glass of pinot noir. The bonus was Peyton Manning, and his family was there the same night. We didn't get any dessert, but there are several options for your choosing. read more
Spent our 4th anniversary here last night and while it didn't have the bells and whistles of our 2nd, it was a memorable and romantic evening. Alice took care of us all night. She had a great personality, knew the menu to a tee + went above and beyond to make our meal a good one. Ordered: * 2014 Louis Roederer Blanc de Blancs Brut bottle * Spicy Tuna Roll * Vegetable Roll * Dynamite Shrimp roll * 12 West Coast Oysters * Goat Cheese Ravioli * Ahi Tuna Entree * Miso-Chili Roasted Broccoli * 2 Sides Of Truffle Mac and Cheese * Parmesan Truffle Fries Was glad to try the Ahi Tuna this time around but wouldn't order it again. From menu: "Mango, Avocado, Cashews, Spicy Sesame Soy Glaze." So I thought it'd be like traditionally seared strips with those items over top but I received 2 large pieces which weren't seared, with a salad of the described items. Nothing meshed and the lack of texture difference had me taking a few bites and calling it quits. Personal preference, though. Loved the spicy tuna roll last time (it was different: tempura fried + spicy tuna w/ sauce on top.) This one was great as well, just unexpected since I was looking forward to how I had it a few times before. Only real negative is that the oysters didn't taste as fresh as we're used to and 2 of them were just terrible which was disappointing. Louis Roederer 2014 bottle was incredible with our meal. Not too dry, has a crispy sweetness. Got a carrot cake for dessert on the house for our 4 years :) Everything else was yummy like we remember! Service was, from our waitresses to the hosts to the bussers, A1 as always! read more

Nice atmosphere and okay service, but underwhelming food. We were in the mood for seafood, so ocean prime seemed like a natural choice. There is open seating at the bar, and kids are allowed there. We arrived early and had no problem finding a seat. Inside was dark, elegant, and clean. We ordered a seafood tower and a couple kids menu items. While we waited, they served us some popcorn. They forgot to provide us with utensil set and placemat until food was almost ready. A server noticed and had an "oh crap!" sort of look on her face as she rushed to get our settings. The bar tender rushed over and awkwardly asked if we needed utensils and then quickly followed up with the observation that we just got it, as if running through a script that he forgot to run through earlier. The kids meals of chicken fingers and buttered noodles were fine. Buttered noodles had excessive butter, but I guess we got what we ordered. Probably could have used more olive oil to make the simple sauce more like a sauce and less like straight butter. Let's breakdown this seafood tower. We decided on half dozen west coast oysters, half dozen east coast oysters, shrimp cocktail, and lump crab. First of all, it was beautifully put together and presented. Who doesn't like dry ice fog pouring out over a tower? The shrimp cocktail was super delicious. Huge, perfectly cooked, chilled shrimp. Easily our favorite item of the tower. The oysters were not good. We couldn't tell if they were not good because the product was not great or because the oyster prep was bad. There were bits of shell all over each oyster, the oysters weren't fully separated from their shells, and the oysters were not plump at all. It's as if the shuckers had little to no experience, stabbed each oyster a ton of times, obviously failed to cut the oyster from the shell, and chipped away at the shell a ton of times. My expectation for a place called ocean prime that charges about $5/oyster would be that they should have really good oysters. I was very wrong, and I've had better oysters from almost anywhere else, including places that have happy hour $1 oysters. The crab was pretty flavorless. Stone crab, I suspect. I've had some stone crabs with good flavor before. These had less flavor than imitation krab. Next time we'll just stick to shrimp cocktail. In my mind, I'll think of ocean prime as just shrimp prime. The only thing prime about the rest of the seafood seems to be the pricing and not flavor. read more
I ordered scallops and lobster bisque. Both were very good. I would say skip the scallops as they weren't anything special. Cooked perfectly but lacking in flavor. However their steak was to die for. Maybe one of the best and most unique flavored steaks ever. Choose french onion soup over the lobster bisque. Really enjoyed the king crab legs and the mocktail was also fabulous. We had a private room. I will say the service was European timed...so took forever and almost painful to get each next course ordered. read more

This place is the who's who of downtown Denver. If the weather is nice, I suggest sitting outside you absolutely need reservations. we did sit at the bar and order a drink until our table was ready. The bartender was friendly and gave us Grace suggestions for dinner. When we got seated at our table, our waiter was amazing and very knowledgeable. We ordered everything he suggested, and was not disappointed. The place has multiple levels and a lot of space. A lot of athletes dine at this spot. read more

I dined here with colleagues on March 14, 2023. This was my first dining experience at Ocean Prime! Ocean Prime is a chain but what I LOVE about Ocean Prime is that it delivers an experience that doesn't feel like a chain! They have locations in big metropolitan cities like Beverly Hill, Vegas, Tampa, Boston, NYC and DC just to name a few. This Ocean Prime is located in downtown Denver at Larimer Square, one of the city's oldest and most historic blocks and home to vibrant, distinctive, fine shopping and dining. Inside, you'll notice the trendy design, fragrant candle scents in the bathrooms and how immaculately clean everything is. My colleague made 5pm reservations in advance, but not necessary since the restaurant wasn't packed when we arrived (but it was full by the time we left). On the menu, besides the seafood options, you'll have multiple steaks to choose from in terms of cuts and sizes, including three choices of filet mignon, one a 12-oz. bone-in option. They also offer an extensive menu of side dishes to choose from: parmesan truffle fries to black truffle mac & cheese and, of course, loaded baked potatoes. And not to mention, they have signature cocktails along with a Wine Spectator-honored wine list I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which came with Broccolini, Pearl Onion, Potato Puree, Truffle Vinaigrette. It was so flavorful and fresh. I highly recommend. The service here is world class and you'll be treated like a VIP. I can't wait to dine here again!!! read more

Ocean Prime serves my very favorite cocktail the Black Orchid. To die for! We started with the Wedge and lobster bisque. My husband and I are always in search of the best wedge and we found it at Ocean Prime. We moved onto 10oz filets, sautéed mushrooms and Brussel sprouts. Everything was excellent. The ambiance is chill and let me not forget all our servers- perfect! We are visiting from Houston and come out to Denver every year- Ocean Prime is always on our itinerary! read more

We wanted to stop by for take out after our first choice for dinner was closed but we were traveling and I felt too underdressed to dine in. However, on Yelp, it says Ocean Prime doesn't do takeout, so we went back to our hotel and saw that the restaurant offers delivery via DoorDash (a little bit odd? Maybe common practice in Denver). The prices are typical of a steakhouse, similar to Fleming's, Ruth's Chris, Del Frisco's, etc. I wanted to give it a try since I've never eaten at Ocean Prime before. We ordered a few sides, steaks, a salad, and a dessert. The portions are definitely leftover worthy for two people. $11 for au poivre and a tiny cup of sauce seems a little steep since a whole side is like $16. Sadly, almost everything looked a lot better than it tasted. My biggest issue with dinner was how rare both our steaks were since we opted for medium rare. It wasn't medium rare on the rare side, it was RARE rare, and still had the gummy texture of rare steak that I really dislike. The steak was supposed to be prime but wasn't that prime and was quite sinewy throughout, and as such was difficult to eat and chew. The asparagus was good, too woody on the ends and inedible, but the hollandaise light and delicious. The smoked Gouda tater tots weren't memorable. The black truffle mac and cheese didn't taste like truffle and instead was overwhelmingly flavored by whatever cheddar/nutty cheese was used to make the sauce. It was topped with a little bit of shaved jarred black truffles. They don't give a lot of mac since it's supposed to be black truffle, and I wouldn't get it again for $20. Our warm butter cake with berries and ice cream was okay, just not remotely warm. It was cold throughout, I suppose they don't heat it up for takeout. The highlight of the meal was the shellfish cobb, which came with chopped lobster claw meat and shrimp. The flavors of avocado, egg, bacon, seafood went together really well and was fresh, aside from the bits of corn in the salad that were brown and old and dry looking. Overall not great, not terrible. I'm always hesitant to return to steakhouses that cook steak way off the mark though since that is the core of a good meal. read more
DELICIOUS! The appetizers are phenomenal- the calamari was crispy, not greasy at all! The crab cake was great!
