    We made reservation two months ago at least for Thanksgiving. We waited (line extending outside) for about 15 minutes and we were seated outside. It was not our preference but we made it work. Our server was perfection and the food was outstanding. Not sure how they decide who gets the coveted booths indoors?

    First time eating at a Tommy Bahama. We got The coconut shrimp as it is their signature dish and it did not disappoint. There was live music and the young man was good but it added to the noise level making it hard to converse. My husband got the grouper he said it was the best he ever had. My son got the red snapper. He said the same. The crab bisque is outstanding. Very lively atmosphere. My only complaint was the noise level. Our waiter Josh was fun and came and sang along with me at the table to a Tom Petty song the musician was singing to. We will definitely go back.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience this evening at Ocean Prime. We were very happy we tried this restaurant. We were celebrating a birthday and were seated at the open side window section so we could enjoy the lovely warm evening. We were impressed that we were not cramped into a small table for two but instead a table for 4 so lots of room. Tables are well spaced in this section so you feel like you can enjoy a private dinner. ( the inside area seemed a bit noiser) Our server was Todd who was delightful and didn't make us feel rushed one bit. We selected off the early dinner menu and enjoyed our choices. Scallops with ricotto were perfect, 4 very large scalloped cooked just right and Filet steak which was delicious and cooked to order. Salad and lobster bisque were also very enjoyable. We hardly had room for dessert but decided to try the carrot layered cake and the peanut butter chocolate cake which were both wonderful ( took half home!) As a birthday celebration they sent me home with another lovely dessert from the menu. All in all Ocean prime offers a lovely evening out, treats the diner to a relaxing paced dinner and the staff were all kind, pleasant and efficient. Thanks you for a nice Birthday Dinner!!
