    Our experience was excellent. We arrived early but were seated right away. Service was excellent. I had the Rib Eye and my wife had the Fillet. They were cooked to perfection and excellent cuts of meat. We had asparagus and mushrooms as sides. Both portions were large and nicely prepared. We skipped desert and opted just for coffee. It was our first time at Ocean Prime and we were very happy.

    It was my Mom’s birthday today and so we came here to celebrate. Everyone was kind to her and made her feel welcomed. The food was delicious! We both had the lobster and shrimp meal. She had the seafood bisque and I had the miso soup. Both soups were very good. The drink we ordered was the coconut sakeini; it was scrumptious. We also had the dessert tester and all of the desserts were amazing. The restaurant was very clean and organized. Thank you for making her day feel so special. She said this was one of the best birthdays ever. We would visit again.
