   We booked Ocean Prime on a busy Indy 500 weekend. Overall it was a nice 4 star dining experience. Everything was very tasty with the exception of the SeaBass which was pretty bland. Desert was great

   First time at this location for a birthday but man the food was good good. Our server Cristian V, and the manager I believe his name was Jason were outstanding. The service provided was excellent. Thank you, and will definitely be back soon.

   It was lovely until more customers arrived. Then it became very loud. With the cement floors there is no buffer from echos or noise.

    We've been to OP many times. This time was just an average experience--which is definitely not the expectation for fine dining. The notes were just off...a number of little things that added up to being annoyed by the end of the night. Water took forever to arrive and to be refilled. If you serve oysters--take the time to train your people how to serve them. This is the second time I've been served "fresh oysters" at OP that were brought out dry. The first batch were completely drained of liquid. The second was only marginally better. Either they were shucked long before I ordered them--or, just as bad, the person who shucked them didn't know what they were doing. A manager checked in while we waited for our entrées--and clearly wasn't told of the issue as she didn't bring it up. Later we ordered a signature cocktail which was served in a martini glass. Since we both ordered the same--the bar staff mixed both cocktails in the same shaker. I have no problem with this. However, when serving at the table the waitress proceeded to fill one glass to the rim leaving the second glass under-poured. Our waitress was more engaged with an adjacent table, and barely checked in after our entrees arrived. By the time she finally checked in again we were long finished and definitely not in the mood for dessert. A final annoyance--I typically don't monkey around with tipping and am usually a 20%-er as I know this usually gets spread across the service and cooking staff. The waitress delivered the at-your-able payment machine and then hovered while I completed... which I found in very poor taste. I opted to tip $50 on a $300 bill instead of the auto-populated $60/20%. The machine then popped up and asked if I was sure of the amount. :smdh: We love the place and the ambiance of the outdoor seating area. It's one of the best in the city. The food, besides the oysters, was very good.

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday last night and enjoyed ourselves completely. The service was a bit slow, but they were busy. Our waiter was friendly and very polite. The food was fantastic. My wife was gifted a dessert for her birthday, which is always a nice touch. We will return for future dates. Well worth the money.

    Service and food were excellent! Only reason I didn't rate higher was or seat was kind of tucked away. Would have been nice to be out in the main areas. And where we sat was a baby that was not happy the whole time. Felt bad for the family but since we were out without our kids, defeated the purpose.

    I've never taken the time to leave a review here; let me explain why I'm doing so now. Whenever my wife's aunt comes to town visiting, we treat her and my mother-in-law to a nice dinner, typically a steak/seafood type of place. Things didn't go as planned this time around, but the staff ensured the evening was as good (maybe better) than expected. My wife and I came down with some type of bug on the day of the reservation. She was terribly upset, thinking about disappointing her mother and aunt. Fortunately, they were up for keeping the reservation on their own. This is where things could have gone really wrong...but went incredibly right. I called Ocean Prime and explained the situation to Leah, requesting two things; first, that they would still get the booth we normally get and second, that we find a way for us to still be able to cover the tab. Leah passed me on to David, one of the managers, who was as accommodating as one could hope he'd be. He took my credit card number, asked what gratuity (if any) I wanted to include, and assured me they would still get the same table and be well taken care of. When my wife's mother and aunt arrived, they were treated, truly, like royalty. Leah saw them directly to our booth, David checked in on them a couple times, and their server, Sarah, provided such exceptional service that they added their own gratuity to what I'd arranged. Even though they missed having us there, we were treated to a stream of texts explaining how fantastically well they were being cared for and how fabulous everything was. So my greatest appreciation and highest regards go to Leah, David, Sarah and the rest of the staff at Ocean Prime for understanding the meaning of "white glove service" and not hesitating to provide it with great care. Thanks, guys...we'll be booking for her next visit in a couple months!

    I was very excited to try this restaurant as we have never been there before, some of the food was pretty good but the steaks and lobster were marginal at best. I did enjoy the drinks I had there as well as the shrimp cocktail. I didn't think the food was worth the cost as our bill was very expensive about $350 for 2 people. I likely wouldn't go here again. I had a much better experience at Harry and Izzys down the street.

    Four of us went for my daughters College Grad Dinner and our server Ashley was really great. Food was all prepared well and very tasty with the exception of the the dozen oyster’s ($54) that were the smallest oyster’s I have ever been served and wish I had passed on the oyster’s, but if they’re on the the menu I will always order them… Steak Tartare, Lobster Bisque, Mushrooms, Sea Bass, Grouper, Filet and Rib Eye were all well prepared and our dogs had no complaints on the left over steak! By no means am I saying I wouldn’t go back or suggest that anyone reads this as a negative, everything was great from when we arrived until we left but the oyster’s… Lol Thanks for making my daughters Grad Dinner a great one!

    Another scrumptious meal at Ocean Prime topped off our busy week. We never fail to get the jalapeños au gratin potatoes as they are the best anywhere! The service is always superb and David, the GM always stops by to thank us for dining.

    2nd time back since Covid began. Good service throughout. Decent health protocols. Person bringing us our food was wearing a mask. Otherwise did not see most of the staff wearing a mask. Pineapple picante cocktails for us both. Surf and turf appetizer, small with beef a little hint of being overcooked some. 1/2 salad and lobster bisque soup opening volley. Bisque served here is one of the best I have tasted. Mills chicken and grilled snapper were our main course meal. Pretzel bread is too salty. Get rid of it and serve better opening breads! Carrot cake for dessert. Seems a little smaller portion than before. Still kind of pricey for what you get, but that's Ocean Prime!

    Everything is perfect! The staff is outstanding, the pacing of the meal, the host’s, the bartenders.....fantastic all the way around. Varied menu and the kitchen will honor special requests which is always a plus. Highly recommend Ocean Prime....and you must have the Calamari! It’s a different preparation and it immediately became our go-to appetizer. Yum!!

    We were taken to the table within minutes of arriving, promptly, for our eight o'clock reservation. As expected from a fine dining establishment, host, bus, and server service was excellent. We were set to order the truffle mushroom appetizer after reading the reviews, but found quite a few options appealing. During her introduction to the menu, our server mentioned the seafood is fresh each day and the calamari is a particular guest favorite. We went with it and were very pleased! The chili sauce was perfectly proportioned to the calamari, the accomplishments were well selected were a nice add to the dish. The calamari itself was perfect; lighted breaded and fresh as described. The evening's special Kansas Strip was a first for my husband. Although he decided he is not a fan of the 'dry rub texture' style - please forgive my uneducated description - he did describe it as juicy and flavorful. My scallops were as expected, it was the risotto that made the dish delicious. Our server suggested their fun cocktail. It arrives with the dry ice in a martini glass. The cocktail; Grand Marnia, Citron Vodka, and Champagne, are added to the glass to start the bubbly, smoky, fun. Blackberries and blueberries are added as an added treat for when you've finished the beverage, when they are liquor soaked little gems. The only dish side was our seating location. We didn't get a look at the entire restaurant, we were a short walk past a few booths, in a small room off to the left. There was a boisterous gathering, celebrating one's accomplishment [Kudos!], but they seemed oblivious to how disruptive they were to the other three tables in the small room. I could not hear the man asking about our water preference or anything else he said or asked, my husband had to take that part. I think I'll go back before our next visit to check out the layout and request a different location in hopes of adding that as a positive part of our next review.

    First time for me dining here. It was our Anniversary and we lucked out with and awesome server, Hannah. All the food was delicious, except we were disappointed in the Gouda tots side we ordered. The potatoes in the tots didn’t seem fully cooked (still crunchy) and you could barely tell there was any type of cheese in them. I wouldn’t recommend that side dish to anyone. Otherwise to food pacing was perfect and both of our fish dishes were delicious. We were so full, we took our desserts home.

    I’d like to start this off by saying I NEVER complain anywhere I go. Ever. I understand servers get busy and things happen but our experience tonight was below subpar. Our server was obviously very busy and none of his team members stepped in to help him whatsoever. Our reservation was at 7:30 and we didn’t get our meals until almost 10pm. I waited almost 20 minutes after everyone else at my table got their salads. Our drinks sat empty for so long that by the time he finally brought us out dessert menus we had already asked for the bill from our server assistant. I even asked to speak to a manager which is something I do not do as I work in the industry and know that things happen, but they never came over or even acknowledged that we were receiving terrible service. But this was something different entirely. I understand it is supposed to be an experience dining here but over 3 hours being at a restaurant is just too long. My mother in law’s Mother’s Day was not up to par with the service we usually receive from Ocean prime and I am very displeased with my dining experience here. We have never had anything less than 5 star service at Ocean Prime so this was a huge disappointment, especially on such a special day.

    So disappointed! We had Mothers Day brunch there again, after having wonderful experiences there before the pandemic. My eggs Benedict must have sat in a warming oven for hours. The English muffin was so hard, I couldn’t cut through it with my knife, and my poached eggs were hard/boiled. My husband ordered the lobster and short rib combo, as he had in the past. One piece of lobster? Was still raw and indistinguishable. We called our server, who promptly sent a manager over. He couldn’t tell what it was either! He took it back to the kitchen, and sent out another piece of lobster, which was cooked and much better. The prices have increased a lot also. My crabmeat Benedict entree was $33 and not worth it. My husbands lobster dish was $32 and the portion was very small. While our service was very good, our overall experience was very disappointing, and we will not be returning.
