    No restaurant we’ve ever dined at has gone to the lengths Prime Social goes to to provide us with the vegan options we desire. Chef Michael is terrific, his menu is creative and delicious. And it’s presented with so many nice personal touches. In effect, we are treated like VIPs. It’s a delightful dining experience made even better by the comfortable setting and the nice view.

    Ocean Prime continues to set the standard for exceptional fine dining. The star of our evening was their innovative Prime Roll, elevated to new heights with perfectly tender beef carpaccio draped on top - a combination that creates an explosion of flavors and textures. The Filet Oscar proved to be nothing short of masterful, cooked to perfection and lavishly topped in true Oscar style. The bar team showed their expertise with theatrical bubbling cocktails that were as delightful to watch as they were to drink. The attentive service complemented the upscale atmosphere, ensuring a seamless dining experience from start to finish. For those seeking a truly memorable steakhouse experience that goes beyond the traditional, Ocean Prime delivers with sophistication and flair.

    Always such a good time. Great atmosphere, great food and great drinks. My husband recently found out he’s gluten intolerant and they have a lot of gluten free options noted on the menu. Our server was great at answering any questions we had. The “D” Cup cocktail was yummy and definitely would get again. We tried the steak tartare and a couple rolls to start and all were fantastic. Too many good entrees to list that we like but you can’t go wrong with any. This is a restaurant we will continue to visit every year over Christmas when in town!
