    It was my first time at this location. My sister and Ai thought it would a great spot to take our Mom for Mother's Day. I love that they do validate parking for a couple of hours. We came here for brunch and they did have a small brunch menu. We decided to order off the regular menu. We started off with a sushi roll for the table, I also ordered the lobster bisque, both were delicious! For my entree I ordered the Chilean Sea bass, whenever I see this on the menu I have to get it. It was cooked perfectly. We also had amazing service from the time we entered the restaurant, until we left. I would love to come back for a date night with the hubby. I totally recommend! 10/10!

    Was insanely impressed!!! The sushi was SO fresh and delicious. They were able to seat us on the patio which was a great ambiance and not too hot. Our waiter Phillip was amazing and super helpful. We will definitely be back!

    Great experience. I've been to other locations and the ambiance here is not as luxurious, but it is nice and wasn't pretentious. Service was excellent. George was the server and was very attentive and made good recommendations. Food was delicious. I will be back.

    We visited Ocean Prime on a Friday evening to celebrate two special birthdays, and it absolutely delivered on every level. As a Nashville native who doesn't spend much time downtown anymore, finding Ocean Prime was like rediscovering my city. I went to school downtown and used to know every corner of it. Stepping back into that energy was a wonderful bonus to an already special night. If you're driving, the east garage offers two hours of free parking, and valet is available for around $22. Both are convenient options for a stress free evening. The ambience was lovely and the music set exactly the right tone, making the whole atmosphere feel festive and refined. The drinks were on point and set the evening off beautifully. One cocktail even arrived with a monogrammed ice cube, such a cute and memorable touch that made us smile! Our server, Mariah, was an absolute rockstar. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and had a natural gift for making thoughtful recommendations without being pushy. She elevated the entire experience and we loved her so much, we tried to get her a raise! For starters, we enjoyed the caviar deviled eggs, a crab cake, and the lobster bisque, all beautifully executed and a wonderful preview of what was to come. Our entrées included the lobster linguine (absolutely to die for!), a lobster roll, and the sea bass, which was delicious, though I personally would have preferred it cooked just a touch longer. We also shared a side of corn that was absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to our meal. A small note on the sea bass aside, everything was outstanding. We finished the night with the butter cake and raspberry sorbet, the perfect sweet ending. To top it all off, Manager Jimmy came by to check on us and brought great energy and laughs to our celebration. It's clear this team genuinely cares about their guests. Ocean Prime is a must for a special occasion, or honestly, any night you want to feel like you're celebrating something. We can't wait to go back!

    I went back and forth on whether to review the new Ocean Prime in Nashville Yards. While the manager ultimately did something to address the situation, we felt as though getting to that resolution was far more difficult than it should have been. I don't want others visiting this restaurant expecting the elevated dining experience we anticipated and feel we did not receive. The reservation process was easy, and we were seated promptly at 7:05 PM for our 7:15 PM reservation (we arrived at 6:53 PM). It was a special occasion with family from out of town, so I was taking photos throughout the evening and have a good sense of the timeline. Within 30 seconds of being seated, our waiter greeted us, poured water, and took our order. We ordered one appetizer, which arrived promptly. The experience then went downhill. Around 7:50 PM, another waiter approached our table and informed us he would be taking over our service. He asked, "Are we still waiting on something? Entrees?" We told him yes and that it had already been nearly 45 minutes. He said he would check on the order...but then didn't come back. Instead, after another delay, a woman arrived carrying a Sea Bass entrée that nobody at our table had ordered. After telling her no one ordered the Sea Bass, she left. Later, she returned and asked us to repeat our orders. She explained there had been a mix-up and said she would be bringing some meals out before others. We were shocked..and told her we really preferred to all eat at the same time... At that point we asked to speak to the manager. We didn't mention anything in the moment because it was irrelevant to the food issue, but the entire time we were seated we were looking around the dining room at the apparel of the other guests that were clearly in extreme violation of the restaurant's dress code. One individual in front of us was wearing a cotton/hanes undershirt. After he left, another individual sat in his place with a tshirt cut sleeveless and we could see his long armpit hair sticking out from under his arms. Regardless of the distasteful atmosphere that reminded me of an auto zone waiting room, we proceeded to ask the manager (Katie) what was going on and how all of this was happening? She told us that the waiter must have just misunderstood my order. She apologized, and offered to give us a coupon or her card...whichever we preferred. We told her we did not prefer either of those options and were never met with any type of consolation or resolution to improve the current experience. In our fine dining experiences, even the smallest faux pas is met with a complimentary dessert drink (Iike a carajillo or limoncello) or a dessert - even if you didn't ask for it...they bring it out and they say "Please accept our apology for this inconvenience, and enjoy this limoncello on the house" Nothing like that was being proposed or done for us. The manager, Katie, just continued to ask us if we wanted her card and kept saying she'd be "Happy to give us her card". After a back and forth with Katie that gave us no satisfaction, the entrees finally came out around 8PM. Almost a full hour later - and they were cold. The food was cold, and the water was warm! (forgot to mention this earlier, but the water had no ice in it and was not cold water to drink). She came back and asked how the food was and we were honest with her in telling her it wasn't warm food. They offered to heat it up again, but we were already a quarter of the way into eating and at that point were absolutely starving. Katie kept saying "I'm going to do right by you." And "I'm going to take care of you" but having her specify what that meant was like pulling teeth, it was so painful. Finally at the end she specified her resolution and, honestly, we still left the restaurant unhappy. First, I'd implore the new Ocean Prime location to begin enforcing the dress code. Even in the slightest manner. It is also our experience in fine dining establishments that if a man shows up without a jacket, they have a room of jackets for him to borrow for the meal. Ocean Prime doesn't have a jacket policy, specifically, but they specify "Business Casual" or "Smart Casual" and aren't even meeting the bare minimum of a shirt that is not an undershirt and a shirt with sleeves for the men. Second, I'd like to give my condolences to the chef. You can tell he is very talented and I felt it to be such a sad, disservice to his skills to have his perfectly curated meals treated this way. I truly believe, had the food orders been correct, and served hot, with chilled/cold water, it all would have tasted very good and it could have been one of our best meals in Nashville. Very unsure if we will ever give Ocean Prime another chance at any of their locations, but I did just want to warn others that if you are going to this restaurant to pay for a meal that is over $1,000 in some cases, there is a chance you may get the same experience we did.

    Ocean Prime was fantastic. The vibe is great, the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and it is in a superb location. We were here right before going to a concert and also celebrating our anniversary, so it is perfect for a date night or special occasion. I went with the lobster linguine-best dish I've had in a while. The sauce was a tomato butter sauce and it was absolutely perfect. The pieces of lobster were plentiful and succulent. My husband had the teriyaki salmon and he also loved it. We added some roasted broccoli for our side and that was also great. The bread basket is a must as well. We didn't have cocktails, but we will definitely have to go back to add cocktails with our meals. This is an excellent addition to Nashville yards! The staff from the hostess, to the waiters were all so helpful and friendly as well. We will definitely be back.

    King Crab Beef Carpaccio,  absolute must.

    Excellent food, excellent service. Mike's service was fantastic and the beef carpaccio was maybe best we've ever had

    Completely raw in the inside

    Asked for my burger well done, and this is what I received. Gave them my receipt but they wouldn't remake my burger but took my receipt. It's not like I was asking for a refund but if I was you probably won't get that.

We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

I sat at the bar and had one of their seasonal cocktails as well as a manhattan. The bartender, Skye, (who is amazing btw!) took great care of me and even offered me a taste of a spirit behind the bar for a recommended cocktail. The entire experience is worth the price point. I recommend taking a ride share and walking to your venue on a nice evening. I'm glad the Voorhees building is being restored. I'll be back to try their burger!

We walked in around 5:00 PM, and there were very few people in the bar. We had a party of six, so we sat down at a table and waited. After sitting there for a while without anyone coming over, I finally went to the bar. Shortly after that, a waitress came to our table, so I went back and we placed our order. Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night. But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.
