Been to a number of Ocean Primes. This one seems a bit cramped and significantly more noisy. Staff seemed overwhelmed by the number of customers. Food was mostly very good. The steaks were way too salty. They ran out of sourdough bread. I’m a Caesar Salad and steak kind of customer. I would go to Hyde Park for the same meal. I would come back to OP to try some other dishes. Overall a good experience but plenty of room for improvement.

The food and service were outstanding!!! Our server Amanda K was the best!! The only negative was the noise level… deafening and a real problem!! We could barely hear each other at our own table. Something needs to be done to solve that issue because it could impact the success of the restaurant. Vince ingrando

A very nice restaurant and addition to the Sarasota dining scene. Our server, Michael, was wonderful. He was attentive, pleasant and helpful. You have to speak up inside as it is a bit noisy. The food lived up to its billing. It was plated nicely, served hot and tasted great.It was a bit expensive, but worth the cost. We will be returning.

Only issue is paying to valet park. Ruth Chris and Hyde Park offer this at no charge. Seems petty to charge for it given the price points at the venue.
