    Ten Layer Carrot Cake
    Sahand S.

    We came for the early dining menu which we thought is a good value at $65 for three courses, and decided to sit in the lounge to also take advantage of their happy hour which is a good deal on drinks and lounge apps. We were surprised how popular the happy hour seems to be, and the lounge seems to fill up quickly, so get there early. We were given a free bowl of truffle popcorn in the lounge, which was a nice touch and very good, especially if you love truffle like me. We ordered the Ocean Roll on happy hour, which is tuna, salmon, hamachi and avocado. This roll was good but I wouldn't pay full price of $30 for it, so I guess getting sushi on happy hour is the way to go. For the three course meal we got the house salad, which was good with a nice mustard vinagrette that delicious and not overpowering. For main we got the scallops with risotto. The menu and other pictures showed four scallops with parmesean and pea risotto, but instead we got three scallops with lobster risotto in a red sauce. I'm not going to complain about getting one less scallop since I got lobster risotto, but the only knock was both our risottos were ice cold while the scallops were hot. Also, my wife's risotto had a huge piece of lobster shell in it. For dessert we got the warm butter cake and carrot cake. Both were good, but the warm butter cake especially good with the ice cream. While the carrot cake seemed like a smaller portion made for the three course menu, it was still plenty of dessert to share. The sides of truffle mac and corn were also very good and rich. Ambiance and layout of the restaurant was nice and a good option for date night. Service also was very good. I would definitely go back for hapoy hour.

    I had a blast meeting my girlfriend for a fun Friday Happy Hour at Ocean Prime! She mentioned we should get there early since it tends to get crowded quickly, so we did, and guess what? There were only two seats available! I ordered a black orchid drink, chili calamari, and fish tacos. The fish tacos were crispy and absolutely delicious. The black orchid drink was sweet and tangy, which was perfect. It was such a treat! I really enjoyed the cool vibe and vibrant feel of the place. I'm definitely coming back here again.

    Ocean Prime is one of the rare fine dining restaurants that's partnered with the InKind app (basically lets you get 20%-35% off their food) With the big discount, I decided to treat myself out to a 10 oz filet and a truffle mac and cheese. This cost me $70.82 (this is after the InKind discount and includes tax and tip). I'm finding that most chefs at fine dining restaurants would recommend that the steaks be cooked medium rare. the food itself was fairly tasty. The service was very polite. The atmosphere of the place was pretty nice as they had two indoor areas and a small outdoor area which is where I ate.

    Wow! Wow! Wow! I took my husband here for his birthday and it was simply amazing! Last year, we went to their sister restaurant in DC for his birthday, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so when we discovered there was one here in the valley, we were over the moon! We started off with a few cocktails; I had a Cosmo and my hubby had their twist on a Smokey Manhattan! My drink was fabulous and my husband absolutely loved his drink! For appetizers we had lobster bisque and a crab cake. My lobster bisque was outstanding. My hubby enjoyed his crab cake...that's really saying something because he's from DC, so he knows crab cakes! I had the twin lobster tails and jalapeño au gratin potatoes and the hubby had the lamb chops with Asparagus with hollandaise sauce! All of these were phenomenal! And for dessert we were given the warm butter cake and the 10 layer carrot cake! There aren't enough adjectives to describe these two desserts! We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this experience! The services was fabulous and the food was delicious! I highly recommend Ocean Prime!

    This is my favorite seafood place in all of Phoenix. Their salmon is #1 in phx. The salmon has just the perfect amount of a sweet glaze on top of a beautiful bed of sticky rice. It's always cooked too perfection. I also had the calamari here. It's crispy and delicious as well. The goat cheese appetizer is mouthwatering and thesalad with the candied walnuts and goat Cheese is also perfectly paired. Staff is incredible Parking can be a little bit tricky usually I have to park in the garage down the street, but that is the only downside which is not their fault. Amazing restaurant will come back here again and again.

    We had dinner, celebrating my wife's birthday, and the first Sunday of the Phoenix (Waste Management) Open week, and the place was packed with folks with name tags and sports coats or dresses, and lots of energy. While I am guessing it was louder than usual, the entire experience was great. Pricey, but great. From the front desk on, service was great and everyone wished my wife a happy birthday. We sat on the bar's patio, which had nice electric heaters that kept us comfortable as the evening chill set it. We started with the tuna tartar. It was elegantly plated, with a LOT of large chunks of very fresh and tasty tuna, with a spicy avocado layer (wasabi?) and a nice crunchy layer. For my entree, I had the lobster linguini and my wife had the shellfish cob salad with French onion soup. All three plates were fantastic. The salad had more lobster and shrimp than expected, the linguini had WAY more lobster than I expected, and the soup had a wonderfully deep flavor (yes, my wife let me taste it). Each dish was delicious and attractive. For desert, my wife ordered the chocolate torte and we both had coffee. The coffee was served in a French press, one for each of us, and was nice and rich, how we like it. The torte was ridiculously dense and rich -- in a completely good way.

    The peanut butter pie- amazing chocolate sauce! Needed a 2nd  whip cream dollop! We loved this desert

    Amazing experience for us tonite at Ocean Prime. We both choice sea bass! And the lobster tails. The lobster was perfect and we enjoyed it so much. The candle heated butter to dip in was a delicious choice and such a nice accompaniment. I added a little butter to my sea bass. The sea bass was cooked so perfect and very melt in your mouth. It came w lovely broccolini and some whipped potatoes. Also perfectly grilled. I remember some lovely asparagus somewhere, I believe w the lobsters and that was cooked great, blanched perhaps w the right amount of crunch My date was so sweet and let us get 2 deserts, a whipped peanut butter pie covered in a delicious chocolate sauce. And the famous butter cake with a raspberry coulis sauce. Both completely enjoyable and delicious! Our dinner was beautiful and so delicious. I also had a white wine and chose Spain. Albeno Torres, I believe it was! It was a perfect and delicious wine. The hostess team was lovely for us as was all of our server staff. A welcoming and charming group of people work there. It was a 50 out of 10 for me!

    We were excited to see Ocean Prime on the Arizona Restaurant Week list, so we decided to give it a try for date night. The restaurant is huge and has a really fancy vibe. We were seated in one of the smaller rooms, which felt a little cozier. Our server was fine, friendly enough, but nothing memorable. They offer both the Restaurant Week menu and the regular menu, so we decided to sample a bit of both. From the Restaurant Week menu, which is $55 per person, we had the house salad, an 8oz filet with Oscar style, and the Blackened Snapper. My husband thought the filet was way too salty, and you have to pay extra for both the steak and the Oscar style. The snapper was overcooked and dry, which was disappointing. Dessert was strawberry ice cream with an almond cookie, which was simple but nice. One thing to note, if you order from the Restaurant Week menu, they don't bring bread, but we weren't too worried about that. For drinks, we had a Bacardi rum and a non-alcoholic Blackberry Club. From the regular menu, we ordered the Seafood Tower with jumbo shrimp cocktail and a mix of East and West Coast oysters, along with Prime Steak Tartare and Onion Soup. We ended up spending more on the regular menu than the Restaurant Week menu. We love to try new restaurants for our date nights, but this visit was just okay. The restaurant itself is beautiful and most of the food was ok, but nothing really stood out. It's probably not a place we'll return to, but we're glad we tried it once.

    We had an amazing time at ocean prime! We used to come here quite regularly a few years ago, but it's been awhile and we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day here and it was very special. We had a beautiful booth, and I had one of the best espresso martinis here. The Hamachi carpaccio was delicious too for an appetizer, as well as the warm bread basket. It was my first time trying Chilean sea bass here and it was wonderful. We also got the truffle Mac & cheese which was super flavorful and perfect to split, as well as the smoked Gouda tater tots which were really unique and crispy. The inside is beautiful and the food is high quality and they always have great service here as well.

    Had the 3-course early dinner there recently with my wife. The food was generally delicious, but my wire didn't enjoy the scallops. Overall, service and the restaurant ambience are fantastic. My filet was delicious and the accompanying foods were good, including lobster bisque.

    Desert time!
    Bill T.

    Perfect venue for my wife's birthday tonight! We've come many times and tonight was the best!

    I just expended $500 included my tip in cash, our bill was $411.85 For a dinner that was just OK, the Chilean Sea Bass was a little overcooked, and the steak was OK. The waiter served a glass of wine after a sample of a different wine ($25 glass) in the same glass. We just looked and didn't say anything... Then, before we left at 9.00 pm, someone started turning the lights on in front of us. That was our anniversary dinner. Not going back, service is low, overrated, and overpriced.

    We have been here before for happy hour. It is quite expensive but HH has some good deals. This time we came for a birthday dinner. This is a very classy restaurant with nice ambience. The food was good and service were great. The ocean sushi roll, king crab legs, lobster linguine, Chilean sea bass were all delicious! And the chocolate peanut butter pie was one of the best desserts we've ever had. Our only complaint was that my husband asked them not to char the steak, but it still came out charred. Our server took care of that immediately. I also wish they would give a complimentary bread basket given how much you spend on dinner here. Otherwise, we had an enjoyable night.

The appetizer (bacon wrapped dates) only came with two small ones, and the fig app was even smaller they looked the size of peanut size m&m's. The main dishes were also not great, the skewers were lacking in flavor and the polenta had a weird texture. The tri tip just came out without any ask to cooking temp and was overcooked (well done).

I've passed by Blue Martini many of times. It always seems to be the most hype spot on High Street, a nice entertainment district in Desert Ridge. I finally took the plunge and checked it out on a Thursday night around 9:30 p.m. Parking is easy (and free) on the street, in the surface lots, or the garage on High Street. Ambiance (3.5/5): Blue Martini is definitely a bit bougie and caters to that audience. There's a nice outdoor patio which is where we sat since the weather was beautiful. There's a bar outside and waiter service. I briefly looked inside and there's a bar inside too, lounge sitting, and a dance floor. Blue Martini often has live music or a DJ. Definitely a spot where you can break it down on the dance floor. There's bottle service too if that's your thing. Service (2/5): Talk about slow service! It took our waitress longer than it should have for us to greet us. After placing an order for drinks, we received them promptly. After that we didn't see her again for quite a while. I wanted to order a second cocktail and she was nowhere to be found. Eventually she came around and I placed my order. I decided to close out right then and there knowing that it would take a long time to track her down to close out if I didn't do it right then and there. They also charge two fees amounting to 5%. Not sure what that's all about. Food (N/A): While they do have food, I just had drinks since I was there pretty late. I view Blue Martini as more of a drinks spot, but I can't comment on the food. They have a daily happy hour with discounts on select food items. Drinks (3.5/5): If the name isn't a dead giveaway, Blue Martini specializes in martinis. Beyond martinis, they have a large cocktail list. Plus everything else you'd find with a full bar. The drinks are a bit pricey (it is a see and be seen type of spot after all and you're likely to see old geezers pulling up in Lambos and Ferraris), but I liked the selection. I started off with the Blue Martini, their namesake. It's served with a blue glow stick. From there, I had the strawberry basil martini. Both were pretty good. Not speakeasy quality cocktails but better than your average bar for sure. While Blue Martini isn't really my scene, I can have a good time anywhere. If you're looking to turn up and dance, it's a good spot for that. And it's also elite for people watching.

We have kids ourselves, so we completely understand that babies cry, but combined with the lack of atmosphere, it made the experience even less enjoyable. We politely asked if we could be moved to the main dining area, but they were unable to accommodate us. Since we were there specifically to celebrate a birthday and were looking for a fun, celebratory atmosphere, we decided to leave after having one appetizer and water. This simply was not the experience we were expecting when making a reservation for a birthday celebration. If we had known we would be seated in that back room with such a different atmosphere from the main restaurant, we would have made other plans. Thankfully, the evening was saved by Kembara across the way. My husband spoke with their manager while I closed out our bill, and despite us having no reservation, they went out of their way to accommodate us and make my son's birthday feel special.

Unlike most beer spots, they also have wine and several cocktails. But when in Rome, so I went with a beer flight. You can choose five beers of your choosing from a list of 40 beers or so. While they don't brew their own beer, they have an interesting selection of local craft beers and European ones. The types of beers you're not going to find at your neighborhood bar, including saisons and sours. The flight is served in a pig shape holder which was pretty funny. Flights are always my go-to when they're offered as they allow you to try out a nice variety. Added bonus: Walk down the hallway past the bathrooms and you'll run into Pigtails---a speakeasy owned by the same folks. That way, you can get both your brews and elevated cocktails fix in the same night.

    I've been here multiple times. It's my go-to happy hour spot when friends come to town to have an…read moreelegant night but also not break the bank (at least for happy hour) Stunning interior and friendly service. I haven't had a drink I haven't liked, you can't go wrong with any of them. The 50 first dates has become my favorite, however. For food, the milk bread is a delicious starter. The chicken tenders are also amazing. Can't wait to go back!

    Unfortunately, I would not go here again. I was genuinely so excited to take my husband because he…read moreloves jazz, flapper-era music, and the whole 1920s speakeasy atmosphere. Based on how this place is described and marketed, we were expecting an intimate, vintage-feeling evening where we could sit down, have a cocktail, listen to jazz, and enjoy the atmosphere. That was not our experience. There were definitely things we liked. The location was great, the overall theme and decor were beautiful, the lighting created a great atmosphere, and we enjoyed the food and drinks. The service was also very good. However, the entertainment was a huge miss and completely took us out of the experience. We walked in and the band was performing "Genie in a Bottle," followed by other current/recent pop songs, Backstreet Boys songs, and "Creep." The singer was repeatedly screaming into the microphone and encouraging everyone to scream and make noise. At one point, while sitting in what is supposed to be a speakeasy, we were literally listening to him sing "creep" which is one of the most depressing songs of all time. It felt much more like being at a loud dive bar or country bar than an intimate 1920s inspired speakeasy. My biggest issue is that the entertainment did not match the experience being advertised. You can decorate a room beautifully and make it look like the 1920s, but when the soundtrack is "Genie in a Bottle," "Creep," and Backstreet Boys songs being loudly belted into a microphone, the illusion disappears pretty quickly. The noise level also made it difficult to simply sit, have a drink, talk, and enjoy the space. We specifically chose this place because we wanted that relaxed jazz/speakeasy experience, and that simply wasn't what we got. The cocktail selection was another disappointment. For a speakeasy-style bar, I expected a stronger selection of specialty bourbon and whiskey cocktails. The prices also felt excessive for the overall experience. On top of the already-high prices, we paid a $20 entertainment cover ($10 per person) specifically for the band. I wouldn't have minded paying a cover for quality live entertainment that fit the advertised atmosphere, but the artist was not particularly impressive and, more importantly, the music didn't fit the theme at all. There is a lot of potential here. The space itself is beautiful, the service was good, and they nailed many of the visual details. Unfortunately, the entertainment is such a major part of a speakeasy experience that it overshadowed everything else for us. If you're specifically looking for jazz, flapper-era music, and an authentic-feeling 1920s speakeasy atmosphere, I would not recommend this place based on our experience.
