Based on the "marijuana odor" warning sign on the door I worried that this was going to be one of those places where every staff member is phoning it in. Actually (yes, this was my first time at an Ocean Prime), it turned out to be a fantastic restaurant with a lot of good choices between steak and seafood with nothing over the top. Service was fantastic, setting is really nice, the food is awesome. Some weird clientele but still a special place. read more

Excellent, exquisite, upscale dining without the collar ;) Late Valentines dinner with Boo, we enjoyed our Oysters from the East and West Coast, wonderful bread, selection, jalapeño, au gratin, baked, brussels sprouts, our 28 ounce prime steak with blue cheese, crusted topping on the side. To tie up the meal, we enjoyed a flowerless chocolate delicacy. Needless to say I will have lunch for tomorrow. read more

My friend and I had lunch at Ocean Prime today to celebrate her birthday and everything was exceptional from start to finish. The restaurant staff was so warm and welcoming. Special thank you right out of the gate to Nicole and Rocky for their hospitality. They let us choose where we wanted to sit and we chose a booth in the bar area which was perfect! The ambiance was warm and inviting and the music was not blasting which made for a relaxing lunch. Our server Enver was fantastic! He was interesting, efficient, friendly and professional. The service was fabulous and honestly, when I returned home, I realized I should have given Enver a higher tip for all the special touches he added to our meal. (Hopefully I'll be able to catch him this week to make it right .) The food was amazing!!!! Do yourself a favor and order the ahi tuna tartare appetizer - to die for! My friend had the ahi tuna for her entree and I had the poke bowl - both delicious! We had martinis, wine and prosecco to accompany our meal and ordered the chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert. Holy smokes! We will definitely be back. The food, the ambiance, the service - A+ across the board! Highly recommend! read more

Yes,this is pricey ,but Service and food delicious Ask for Enver...every restaurant should have a waiter and staff like him!Rest of the staff was on the spot perfect for my daughters birthday I Ambiance was lovely and not noisy. read more

My friends and I ate brunch here, and the food and service were fantastic! They're strict about the opening time though, so they will not let you inside if you're there even 2 minutes early. We had to wait outside in the cold until they officially opened. The steak was definitely my favorite - perfectly cooked (medium rare) and delicious! We also had a truffle mac and cheese and a creamy spinach dish for sides. We shared desserts too and they tasted fresh and sweet. The packaging for leftovers was also thoughtful. read more

Amazing food and ambiance!! Perfect for a celebratory dinner ! Service was immaculate.

Sea scallops with parmesan risotto was delicious. Juicy scallops. The risotto was creamy and flavorful. I thought I wouldn't like the peas but it was all so good. For drinks I had a prime passion which was sweet and tangy. The butter cake dessert with ice cream, berries, and I think a raspberry sauce was delicious. The warm bread for the table was also really good. A nice variety with fluffy loafs, pretzel style, and cracked. Came with whipped butter and it was a nice start for the table. Our waiter was patient with up and checked on us with our hovering. Multiple staff members helped with clearing our table and keeping our glasses filled. The lowlights gave it a romantic and intimate vibe even with though there were multiple tables sitting in larger groups. My only complaint was the closeness of the tables. Someone set at the table beside us and that space was tight. They ended up requested another table and were accommodating quickly. read more

I love everything about this restaurant. It was beautifully decorated and the service was excellent. Our waiter John and staff were very attentive. We had the bread which came out hot. We shared the Cesar salad. The lettuce was crispy and dressing was really good. We had the TERIYAKI SALMON, ORA KING SALMON and Chilean sea bass special. All were cooked to perfection. For dessert the crème brûlée and carrot cake. read more

Ocean Prime is an upscale steakhouse-style chain restaurant. As a vegetarian, these steak/seafood spots usually leave me disappointed - not the case here! To drink, you must start with the Berries and Bubbles, which is as delicious as it is beautiful. To eat, there are plenty of options for everyone. My favorite item was surprisingly the Veggie Roll - unexpected, because I don't usually like asparagus. The Brussels Sprouts, Truffle Mac, and Smoked Gouda Tater Tots are must-order sides. I also tried the Goat Cheese Ravioli (appetizer) and this was the only item that was a tad underwhelming. Don't skip dessert: the Carrot Cake, Butter Cake, and Peanut Butter Pie are delish. Honestly on the of best carrot cakes I've had! read more

I was in NY for business and we had a group of 8 for dinner and I had walked by the restaurant on my way back to the hotel. We had people who wanted, pasta and we had a vegetarian in the group also. We made a reservation - we're seated immediately and had excellent service from start to finish!!! Ocean prime maybe a chain, but honestly each location treats you like a stand alone specialty steakhouse !!! Please please don't ever leave without trying the 10 layer carrot cake read more

Came here prior to visiting Lincoln Center. I was looking for a solid choice that was nearby and this fit the bill perfectly. Started with oysters and shrimp cocktail which were excellent. Ordered Filet Mignon and Strip Steak , which were very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Sided were on point as well. The service was impeccable and drinks expertly made. Would definitely come back. read more

I came here with my friends after their gift card promotion. Food review first. The crab cake was mushy and subpar I would skip it. Steak was perfectly cooked. I wish they have a porterhouse or larger cut for groups who want to share. Our creamy spinach side was amazing. The Mac and cheese truffle was a bit too savory. The desserts especially the butter cake was good. Pass on the carrot cake it is too sweet and dense. Service was okay considering we did a very early dinner and they were not busy. read more

Melt in your mouth steak, I must say. I'm always impressed by the food. And a classic Negroni from here. I celebrated my birthday and got a complementary dessert, which was nice. Ambiance is average noise level, usually a good vide, great for groups. Spacious areas dining and love the lay out of the bar upon entry. Service is usually attentive, timely and courteous. No complaints. I'll keep going. read more

Expensive for sure. Customer service was excellent. The place is decorated beautifully. I ordered the following. Ocean 55: 8/10 Point Judith calamari: 10/10 - spicy sauce. The vegetables and sauce compliments so well. Teriyaki salmon: 8.5/10 - pretty good and cooked well. Sautéed mushrooms: 6/10 - not bad at all. Mac & cheese: 6/10 - my little one didn't like it at all. It was decent to me. read more

I truly had no idea what to expect walking in here. It could easily have been a snootier lunch place people take their business clients in the area to. And it may very well be. But the service and overall meal does not reflect that as an experience at all. The food was surprisingly good. Pricey but not really for the area and for what you're getting. The west coast oysters were plump, the sauce could have been a skosh more interesting but the presentation was delightful. We also grabbed one of the sushi rolls, which came with one of the more interesting soy sauce serving dishes I've experienced. For mains I grabbed the crabcake melt, which was divine. A ton of crab meat, lovely dressing. The salad was surprisingly flavorful and well-balanced and could have eaten that as a whole meal. The service was so attentive and the place itself is really elevated. Overall, while it's not my normal fare for lunch in that it's a bit ritzier, it totally understands its clientele, vibe, and mission. read more

I genuinely can not believe that I have been missing out on this restaurant. All of my friends recommended this years ago and I always put it off. Let's start with the service - let's get Gordon a raise! He is truly amazing. I told him that this was my first time here and he really made sure I had the best experience. Steak, mashed potatoes and mac & cheese were truly amazing. Butter cake - to die for. Truly will be back to try some seafood!! read more

Let's begin with the setting. On the strip, 2nd level of the restaurant with a huge digital billboard off your shoulder. The glitz, the energy, the history on on full display in its current glory that is The Strip! Food: Outstanding! Lobster bisque, oysters, lobster linguini, steaks to die for. Drinks: phenomenal wine list and excellent sparkling to pair with the oysters. I don't think I've seen a better wine list of premium wines on full display as you enter the restaurant. There are bucket list wines depending on $$$ of course and this place had 3 of them right there for the taking. Someday it will be mine, but not on this evening :( We had a very nice Amarone Valpolicella which is has a unique way of fermenting grape juice and I suggest you take a quick look at the process of this wine fermented with dried grapes in the Veneto region of Italy. Overall I'm so impressed with Ocean Prime that I find it hard to reconcile that is is a national chain. Our host was absolutely charming and full of energy during the meal. He had a story about getting called in to work last weekend and said that they had a special guest coming by and they wanted to make sure their A team was in place. The guest: Michael Jordan Well if it's good enough for Jordan then it's good enough for me. Now I hope our server Roberto hot his autographed 10.5 from Michael! read more

High end for the BEST!! Elegant fine dinning. Lavish. Our meal was top notch. The presentation and the quality of food was breath taking.

I recently went to Ocean Prime with my sister and her daughter to celebrate my niece's birthday. The hostess promptly sat us at our table and scattered "Happy Birthday," confetti on the table!

Would recommend to anyone that is looking for a spectacular night out! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by for our anniversary dinner last night since I've been wanting to come here for a while. We had a reservation and were seated within a few minutes of arriving. The place itself is spacious, and the dim lighting makes it perfect for a romantic dinner. They sat us in the dining room, and the only drawback was that we were seated right between two other tables that were very close to ours, so we didn't love that. They start you off with warm bread, and the pretzel sticks were my favorite. I chose the pineapple picante for my cocktail and loved it! My boyfriend first had the espresso martini, which was alright, and then he had the prime passion, which was really refreshing, but he wished it was stronger. For appetizers, we got the Caesar and house salads, both solid. For my entrée, I got the 8oz filet, and wow, I was truly blown away! My boyfriend got the teriyaki salmon, and he also enjoyed it. For dessert, we got the ice cream with almond cracker and carrot cake, both of which were delicious. Overall, I would definitely return and would recommend this place for any special occasion. The service was really good; they were very attentive and timely. It is pricey, even with it being restaurant week our bill was about $300, including gratuity but it's worth the splurge. read more

We came here for the Restaurant Week dinner... only to find out it's not available on weekends (NYC tourism website needs an update!). The servers were playful yet attentive, making for a fun experience. We arrived at 4 PM, and the place filled up fast. Our table ordered a variety of dishes: the Chilean sea bass special with crab meat, scallops with parmesan risotto (the risotto was a standout: creamy, delicious, and I didn't even mind the peas), and the teriyaki salmon, which was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with shiitake sticky rice. The cocktails were creative and really quite pretty, according to my friends. My only real disappointment? The mango sorbet. It was completely flavorless... was quite bummed about it. read more

Lunch was good, a medium-cooked burger with a side of French onion soup (not too hot which made it easier to eat, and nice, savory/rich and salty). Steak salad looked good, too. Definitely get reservations, this place gets busy. They did cover the bar area, too, normally outdoors in nicer weather but covered for the winter now. read more

We reserved a table for 6 and we're running late on a Friday night, we called ahead of time to let them know. Upon arrival we waited a few minutes to see that we were being seated in a private room that was huuuge. The service was superb, attentive, and very friendly. They served our meals, got chairs for our purses, took our pictures, and refilled our glasses as needed. Scallops were soft, tasteful. The braised beef was also soft, savory, sweet, perfectly balancing each other. The ribeye was amazing, melted in my mouth, and was great with the sauce. Pairing it with the creamy mashed potato was the perfect combination in every bite. I enjoyed the steamed broccoli as it was seasoned well and a bit crispy on the edges. The calamari was a little tangy and not too much my taste but I enjoyed a few and is always a classic appetizer. Dynamite roll was the perfect bite and had a little kick to it. I'm still blown away by the amazing service and hospitality we were given with our reservation. We were only expecting a table for ourselves as we were running late and the place was so busy packed. I appreciate the staff here for accommodating us and making it feel special for our group. The interior was decorated and felt so cozy inside. I am definitely coming back again. read more

Had dinner here before a show. Started off with the Berries & Bubbles, which tasted as good as it looked, and split appetizers with my friend - the Ahi Tuna Tartare, which was amazing and very fresh, and the Crabcake, which was also good. For my entree I got the 7 oz Wagyu filet and my friend got the 8 oz filet; both were delicious. For sides we ordered the roasted garlic mashed potatoes (so delicious), the miso-chili roasted broccoli (crispy and flavorful), and the jalapeño au gratin. Everything was so tasty, we left no room for dessert! The ambience of the place was nice, would be good for a date as well - candlelit, intimate atmosphere, separated from the noise of the bar area. read more

For the cost vs what you get this place doesn't get more the 2 stars. If my son 14 yo old says Dad your steak is way better then this is a problem. My wife also got a steak it looked as if it was a pieces charcoal she orders medium well. At $76 just for the steak I would expect much more I would give it 4 out of 10. Carrot cake got a pass 6 out of 10. Sorbet got a pass 6.5 out of 10. The waiter is nice. I ordered Ahi Tuna medium rare I would give it a pass 6 out of 10.

Ocean Prime is by far one of my favourite steakhouses, so I often try to make a trip to the US around my birthday to eat there.

I highly recommend it to anyone who has never tried! Specifically the Strip with the Maytag blue cheese crust!! read more
