Best Cozy Restaurants in Kirkman South

From the valet parking attendants to our servers I felt a sense of excellence. While waiting for my friend, the host suggested the option of visiting the bar, once my friend arrived, our table was ready and we were seated promptly. Our server made excellent recommendations and was very knowledgeable and answer all our questions. Food was exquisite, outstanding combination of sides marrying all the flavors with velvety sauces and other components.

I don’t know why we hadn’t come sooner, but now we know better. We frequently are dining in the Sand Lake I drive area for the fine dining experience, and Ocean Prime is now our go to place … food and ambience were on point, a great menu and the service out of this world. My husband loves lobster pasta, but wasn’t feeling the menu’s lobster linguine tomato based sauce, so Sherri (amazing!!!!!! Server) ask the chef to make a cream based sauce- delicious! For the chef to make a such a concession and it was prefection, meant so much to us for making a meal an fantastic experience, and not just the ordinary steak seafood chain meal. The Ocean Roll was truly masterful blend of flavors in a sushi roll - the chili garlic sauce was nothing like we had before (wish I could put it on every roll in life now) perfect blend of spicy/salty with high grade tuna/salmon, avacodo, humachi, and we added cream cheese - so good we see ourselves coming back just for the sushi and cocktails. The grouper was perfectly balanced and prepared. We tried the crème brûlée and cake carrot cake both excellent. The service was 7 star experience. They even called to check how was our experience! Can’t say enough how grateful and perfect the front and back house made our night that we will not forget this beautiful memory.

We had a fantastic experience overall! Our large party visited on Christmas Eve, and everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was lively and festive, setting the perfect tone for the evening. Our server, Hailey, was absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The staff as a whole felt genuinely welcoming, which added to the positive vibe. Highly recommend!

We always have great service here and tonight was no different. I had the salmon along with the bacon brussels, prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella, truffle fries and mashed potatoes (sides are all shared by the table). Bread options are excellent from the onion white loaf to the pumpernickel raisin bread to the flat bread. All come out together so you get a nice variety. Everyone else had the filet mignon or NY Strip, which are always cooked perfectly. This is a great spot to celebrate at (Marry Christmas' Eve!).

My aunts were visiting from PR for the holidays and had never been, so I was excited for them to try it, as it’s much divergent different from their usual cuisine. Lance was our server, (highly recommend!!), and he did a great job taking his time to explain not only the menu but what makes sixty vines so special in the first place. My aunts ended up with a flight each and 5ozs for dinner! My mom (frequent flyer) got to try some of her old favorites as well as new varieties that she really enjoyed, and she and Lance worked on pairing the wines for every dish on the table. The food was spectacular as always, we got a burrata and beef rissoles to start. Entrees came our super fast, and super yummy 😏. I got the ny strip (classic), mom got the pork chop, tias got the shrimp campanelle and the bavette (second personal favorite of mine). though the cherry on top (pun absolutely intended, was the basque cheesecake. best dessert to get for a light sweet treat after a great meal!
