Sooo very disappointed. We were excited to try it for the first time. We don’t drink alcohol so this is a food only review. Service started strong but by the end we kept having to reach out. The food was not terrible but by no means supported the price point. The biggest problem was the lobster in his lobster bisque was dry and not very good tasting. I also had lobster in the “sauce” which was more like a broth in my grouper and it was also not just dry but funny tasting. I did not eat the lobster in my dish. We then had really nice cups of coffee and a very strange warm vanilla cake that was so weird like cornbread rather than cake. It was so heavy and odd in texture. It’s not often I give scathing reviews but I do not think I will ever return. I liked the soft butter and rolls but to be honest that’s about it. The server was nice but had too many tops to keep up. The food I had there did not support the price point by any means. I have a feeling their cocktail game is strong but the food was barely okay and the old dried out lobster was just not okay!

Nicholas was a very kind and attentive waiter. He offered recommendations that were delicious. I had the calamari as an appetizer, which was very tasty. I had the Chilean Sea Bass as my main meal. The bed of mashed potatoes were absolutely amazing. The sea bass, however, was tasteless and bland. That's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. All the staff were dressed very professionally and were very kind and courteous.

Another amazing date night! Great food, service, & ambiance! We were a little worried because there was a family with a small child & infant in the same room but the ambiance remained. Drinks were good, we both had the Whiskey Clover it was very good. I had my go to meal, crab cakes. They were very meaty and well seasoned. My absolute favorite was the roasted Brussels sprouts, just cooked to perfection. The Black Truffle Mac was not good to me but my SO enjoyed it. My SO had the Filet Mignon which he enjoyed it was tender with good flavor but not the best he's had. We did not have dessert we were too full. The warm bread was very good as well. Definitely recommend!

Had a lovely dinner here. Started with warm soft Serve pretzels. Then, sea bass with truffle mash potatoes and generous slices of truffle. We ordered truffle Mac and cheese for the table and it was rich and creamy. The Sea bass was perfectly cooked

is this a kid friendly place?

I think it just depends on the child. Yes this is an upscale restaurant and I am yet to see a child there, but I wouldn't hesitate to bring my 5 year old. If your child can stay at the table, entertain themselves without a phone disturbing others, and be well behaved, then i see no reason they couldn't enjoy this wonderful restaurant too. Its not for all children but its also not for all adults either.

Ocean Prime is amazing, as the previous poster stated, not sure if it's "fine dining" but it is definitely high quality food and service and well worth the visit. You won't be disappointed.

There was a great piano player until covid. Hopefully the will be back next year. Bar area has music but not the same as you could make requests to the pianist. OP is still the best!
