Ocean Prime

Place is very welcoming. The staff is amazing. I am not a fan of sea food but I loved what I ordered ( dynamite shrimp roll). Do order warm butter cake.

Had a reservation for late dinner on Saturday. Excellent service, reasonable waiting times for food. Hihly recommend sea food here: lobster, crab cake and oysters were amazing. Highly recommend sushi rolls. Steak was delicious. Overall great experience! I would come back! Valet parking available. Restaurant is nice and clean. Proper dress required for entry.

First of all, you end up here because you want to. Mentioning overpriced is not a fair review because some research of the sort must have been done. Of course there are other restaurants with similar food selections , etc but here we are paying for top notch service , beautiful atmosphere, location and all the other attributes that sums up for a spectacular dining experience, not just about food. This was our first time for our Anniversary and loved it. Excellent tasting food, 5 🌟 star service, amenities plus some. Very sweet of them to offer the complimentary dessert for our special occasion.. I'd go back for sure and recommend. There's a beautiful buzz about the place. Just go if you can .

Had a reservation for early dinner on a Friday. Excellent service, reasonable waiting times for food. I would recommend sticking to their seafood dishes vs ordering chicken or steak. Now, let’s dive into their dishes. Their Ocean and Spicy Tuna rolls are both a 10/10. Very fresh and tasty. The Teriyaki Salmon was alright, i found it to be too sweet for my liking. The lobster linguini was delicious though. Great blend of flavors without being too overpowering. Pasta and lobster were cooked to perfection. The black truffle mac and cheese was the best mac and cheese i have had so far. It was creamy, incredibly tasty, and cooked well. The bacon creamed spinach tasted well. If you like bacon, you’ll love it. Other family members had the steak and it was alright, not memorable. Location makes it hard to find street parking but they do have valet. Restaurant is neat and clean. Proper dress required for entry.

This is a very nice place to get delicious seafoods and steaks. We came on Saturday night and it was pretty crowded and noisy around the bar, but our booked table was in a quiet room with a view on the seaport, the atmosphere was so enjoyable. The quality of the food was very good. The service was also excellent.

Had a great late lunch there. We sat on the bar side and we had the incredible Billy Cox as our server/bartender. Definitely ask for Billy if you go, he made our experience just that much better. We had the house salad, the poke bowl, the steak frites, mango sorbet and the chocolate chip cookies 🍪. Everything was delicious.

Restaurant gets packed, so reservations are a must unless you want to wait 1 to 2 hours for a table. Valet parking is $27. Service is exceptional. Hostess was very welcoming. Waiter was very attentive, eager to please and pleasant. Food was exquisite and delicious. Presentation left a lasting first impression.

My fiancee and I came here for our anniversary and it was just amazing. Our waiter was fantastic, I believe his name was Luke (not 100% sure) however, he made sure our anniversary dinner date was amazing. Drinks and food were delicious and we got a dessert on the house. Will definitely be coming back!

Ocean Prime is one of the few culinary experiences that I'll remember from Boston. It's a rare blend of steakhouse and seafood house, and does both to a very high level. I'm actually going to start with my least favorite experiences first. The seafood tower: pretty pricey, so we had high expectations coming in. That being said, I felt the lobster here was passable - most of us agreed that the lobster at James Hook was better for example. Lobster meat was a little tough and the flavor not as pronounced. The oysters were good, but we did not feel were justified by the price point. Fresh and creamy but lacked in quantity and lasting aftertaste. The shrimp was the best part and may be the only worthwhile aspect - the cocktail sauce paired with the fatty juicy shrimp was worth it. The surf n turf is also passable, decent scallops and braised beef but is quite a strange combo that didn't work very well together. Moving on to solid dishes: the clam chowder was super creamy and filling, really worth the price point for the volume and its strong rich flavors. We shared the sea bass and found it soft, flaky, and aromatic. Absolutely well seasoned and wonderful. The filet mignon is perfectly cooked to order and while it didn't blow my mind, you could taste the quality of meat used. The calamari was the best of this tier, with this being one of my favorite calamari dishes ever due to the abundance and nice quality of squid meat paired with the sweet and citrusy seasoning. Now, the absolute star and one you cannot pass is the steak tartare (looked so good they dug into it without letting me get a photo). Simply one of the best bites i ever put into my mouth. it was meaty, juicy, refreshingly cool, aromatic, light, fragrant, and sublime. It was a new mouthfeel experience for me that might make you lose your mind. We went here for my mom's birthday and they gave her a complimentary Creme Brulee that we all shared, and it was a delicious and rich way to end the evening. Great service and overall great food that justifies the price point.

Great ambience but not for me. I'm glad I came because I'm not coming back. Portions are generous but the flavors were not there. Too salty

I gave them another chance since they had reached out to apologize for my previous experience via email and phone. The food is decent and I enjoy the ambiance.

Work dinner here. Definitely an upscale steak and seafood restaurant with price tags that yell upscale. Service was 5 star. The appetizers were delish. We had the calamari, deviled eggs and a few others. All delish. I had the strip steak special, Kansas City style bone in strip. About 2" thick and pretty amazing. The ambiance felt typical high end steak house feel but it's still a reasonably new restaurant so not outdated (yet). The cocktails were awesome and the array of after dinner drinks were endless. If you're looking for fancy fancy upscale steak and seafood, here's your joint in the Seaport.

I LOVE IT HERE!!! Cannot say enough good things about this place. Every waiter I've had has been exceptional. The most recent time I went we had Bowie as our waiter and he was fantastic. The food is always top notch and the ambiance is unbeatable. We started with their calamari which is the best I've ever had and their east coast oysters. For our entree we ordered one of the specials, along with their jalapeño au gratin(my favorite) and their brussel sprouts. To finish we had their butter cake which is a must get when you go. I seriously could write a book about how much I love this place, if you're in the area, GO!!!

Very clean and nicely decorated place. I was welcomed nicely and I decided to Sit by the bar. Service was good. Clam chowder was simply amazing. I also tried calamari but it was too sweet for me. Overall good experience.

Stays true to the high quality and standard of Ocean Prime, including great service. Only complaint is how insanely loud it is in this place. Not ideal for a business dinner.

*delayed review* I went here over a year ago and loved it so much. The standouts for me were the berries and bubbles cocktail and the steak tartare app. The drink is a beautiful pink with dry ice causing a flashy bubbling experience. The drink tastes amazing! The steak tartare was incredible, better than any other tartare I've had at any other restaurant. Overall great experience!

Came here on Friday for a wonderful and fancy dinner with my boyfriend and my family. We got seated promptly given that we had a reservation but we also did show up a good 20 min early. After getting seated, we put in our orders fairly quickly. For our appetizers, we got the east coast oysters (since west coast was unavailable and the time), then we got two orders of lobster bisque and one order of clam chowder. Entree wise, I got a 10 oz. filet mignon with bernadaise sauce and my mom got the same. My bf got the scallops while my dad got the Atlantic cod and my brother got their lobster pasta. Side wise, I ordered the whipped potatoes, bacon creamed spinach, and sautéed mushrooms. The main entrees were cooked perfect and the sides were delicious. Pro tip: get the whipped potatoes. So smooth and buttery and delicious. Apparently the bacon creamed spinach was awesome (as my bf said). The oysters were alright though I prefer west coast oysters. The soup was delicious. Best lobster bisque I've had. Then dessert wise, my brother ordered the warm butter cake. Bit too sweet in my opinion but to each their own. It's really rich. So why the -1? It's a bit too loud for my liking so it made conversing a bit hard later into the night. Then the other bit was that the steak knife was so dull it couldn't cut through the stringy bit of the filet. It took so much strength to cut through it. All in all a fun and awesome experience. Just some things to fix. But I look forward to trying the Beverly Hills location since I apparently missed out on the "to die for" bacon creamed spinach. (I was already full from everything else).

First of all, I disagree with the $$$ rating ... this restaurant is certainly at the high end of the price level in Boston ... I'd say $$$$. The least expensive steak on the menu is $58 (8 ounce filet mignon) and comes with nothing. Sides are $15 - $20 each, which is on par with what The Palm and other steak houses do. The sides are family style ... and much will be wasted in a dinner for 2. Given that you pretty much have to order a side with a steak ... in actuality, your $58 eight ounce steak will end up costing you $72, if you want to make it a proper meal. The steaks only go up from there. The lobster bisque soup was one of the best things we've had. It comes with 4 or 5 pieces of lobster, which the waitress pours a thick, creamy soup over. It is huge! The portions for everything (minus the steaks) here are huge! I'd much prefer getting 25% less food and paying 25% less as there was a lot leftover. Each side dish could easily feed 3 - 5 people. We had creamed spinach (just okay ...), truffle mac and cheese (the best dish of the evening!) ... and Brussel Sprouts (these almost came infused with balsamic vinegar which made them taste a bit more desert-like than savory.) Don't miss the macaroni and cheese side ... the other sides were blah. The steaks were done well. I ordered mine medium and it came with zero pink ... more of a grey color inside. I'd honestly have considered it medium well. We had the filet mignon and the ribeye. While there were no issues with the quality or the taste, they weren't seasoned as well ... and didn't have that crisp char on the outside ... as some other steakhouses we've gone to. On a scale of 1 - 5, I'd say the steaks were a 3.5 or 4. We all enjoyed our meals but they didn't blow our socks off, given the high price. We got creme brulee and a cake for dessert. Very good ... again, HUGE portions ... unlike with the main course and sides, we felt the $15 - $17 cost of the desserts was a good value. 4 of us split two desserts with plenty left over. I really liked the creme brulee ... although I've never had a bigger portion. It seriously was like a gravy boat full of creme brulee with some fruit on top. The cake was equally as big but very tasty. The waitstaff was a bit intrusive. I felt like they always broke in as someone was in the middle of a story. Usually waitstaff, especially at business friendly restaurants, are trained to come into the picture at the right moments. It seemed like anytime they came in to take an order, check in on the meal or ask if anyone needed another beverage, it couldn't have been a worse moment. Also, the table busser seemed insistent on clearing half eaten plates when clearly we were not finished. We had to shoo him away literally 3 or 4 times in between the time the main courses were served and dessert. He also took the half full sides and did not even ask if we wanted them wrapped up. The vibe here is very good ... dim lighting and a modern feel with a wall of soft lighting. The booths are wide enough where 4 people can sit comfortably and they have a few longer tables as well. The bar area was absolutely packed and it was hard to navigate your way through the crowds. We were surprised at how packed the restaurant was on a Wednesday ... you'll definitely need a reservation here. Most of the diners were pretty classy ... I didn't see to many t-shirts and jeans, which has sadly become the trend lately in expensive restaurants. Overall, I wouldn't rush to return here ... but the atmosphere and the menu were good enough where I will likely return at some point. The prices are as high as I've seen in any major city for a non-tasting menu dinner. Dinner for 4 was just over $600 with the tip. The value didn't really match up, in my opinion, but I've had worse expensive dinners. For business or celebrations, you probably can't go wrong here. I like the atmosphere here better than The Palm ... but the steaks at The Palm are better than here. Boston is a corporate city with, honestly, some of the worst dining options in any major city. If you are coming in for dinner, there is a garage 400 Seaport next door that is around $22 after 5 p.m. or on Spothero.

Comfortable restaurant with outstanding staff and service. Definitely a date night goals type of place. Food was top notch. The bread basket was generous and deliciously warm. The smoked Gouda tater tots were delicious, well seasoned and cheesy. Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked was really good flavor. The dessert portion size is crazy, definitely enough for at least 2 people. The chocolate torte is extremely rich and intense. Price point is fair.

In a word, solid. Delivers against expectations of a small chain with large-scale properties. Not sure I'd ever come here for a quiet romatic dinner but if you want good food, a broad menu, and a hopping (almost too hopping) environment then come here. We arrived on time and had to wait maybe 10m for our table. Bar was so crowded on a Sat night that we couldn't get a drink. We were seated at a nice table, got water and a drink order in. The waiter was great. The environment is a little frenetic but nowhere near as bad as the bar. The food was very good: hamachi crudo, shrimp sauteed thing, and the wedge salad were all great. We snuck in some deviled eggs and while they were good they didn't quite pass as heavenly (which is what we were hoping for given deviled eggs, caviar, and truffles as ingredients). Nevertheless, a fun thing to split for the table. Mains were very good as well -- two people had the small filet with the blue-cheese crust. One had the blacked snapper. All were really good, particularly the snapper. We shared one butter cake for three people -- and it was enough -- and it was really, really good.

I came here for a birthday dinner of about 20 people. We were seated in a private room, also called the Cambridge room. It was dimly lit, like most steakhouses in Boston. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. I had the jumbo lump crab cake, the lobster linguine and the lobster Mac and cheese. I enjoyed the crab cake. The linguine tasted watery and a little bland. The Mac and cheese was just okay. I wished there was more lobster in it. I also tried the berries & bubbles drink, which was also just okay. It was pretty to look at though!

A sleek steakhouse by the south boston waterfront. It has a high end steakhouse vibe and offers a large selection of beef, seafood and sides. It is quite expensive, but well worth the money for a special occasion. "Surf N Turf" (App) - This appetizer came with 2 large scallops and braised short ribs. Now on paper, a surf and turf is always good. Individually, the items are amazing, fresh scallops, soft short ribs... delicious. Unfortunately, the sauce was similar to a teriyaki glaze, for me the sauce did not mix well with the scallops and overpowered the subtle flavors of the scallops. Would try something else next time. Clam chowder - Probably my favorite clam chowder of the trip! It had an assortment of seafood and the right potatoes to give it the right consistency. This soup also had the most seafood flavor out of all the soups I've tried, seasoning was on perfect and augmented the seafood flavor. Definitely recommend. Parmesan truffle fries - Solid fries, crispy outside, soft inside, good decision on the potatoes. Truffles was alright and parmesan didn't really contribute much to the fries either. If you like home cut fries, go for it, otherwise try something else. Miso-chili roasted broccoli - The conception of these sound amazing, unfortunately the flavor all concentrated into the head of the broccoli. The heads was way too salty and the stem did not take on any flavor at all. Otherwise the broccoli was roasted very well. Maybe the miso-chili should be a glaze or sauce on the side so the flavor is not just concentrated at the head of the broccoli. Ocean roll - Very well presented sushi. Color from the fish, avocado, rice and seaweed give it color and contrast. The fish was fresh, the roll itself was a bit lacking... I feel that maybe the chili oil was supposed to contribute more? Would not recommend, go for more of their appetizers. Crème Brule - this was massive in the oval shape bowl. The sugar crust was thin and crispy. The custard smooth and jiggly. Would recommend. So the service was great, the atmosphere amazing and food good. I would recommend for special occasion. Finally if you are going with a small party, ask for a caddy seat, these are tables with fixed seating and they have a pot light right on top of the table. Best lighting for foodie shots!

We went during restaurant week and the deal was incredible. It was $32 per person for a 3 course meal. We got the French onion soup and the clam chowder. The French onion was a little salty but the clam chowder was creamy and delicious. The scallops were perfectly seared, but again a little salty. The salmon was great and the rice was well seasoned. The pretzel bread was my favorite, though. Dessert was a lemon sorbet and salted caramel ice cream. Overall a good experience for the price we paid, but not sure we would come again for a full price.

Ocean Prime is the best of the best in terms of steak houses in Boston! Service is always top notch. We prefer to sit in a booth in bar area as the crowd is fun and lively to observe while eating and my husband likes to watch a sports game! The cocktails are amazing - berry's and bubbles is delish and fun with the smoking ice , cumber gimlet and the new tequila cocktail are great as well. For apps we recommend the spicy tuna roll! For steak we get the blue cheese crust as well as the potato al gratin and can't go wrong with the corn!!! The deserts are all amazing - carrot cake and chocolate peanut butter are a must!

Had a wonderful dinner here recently. The restaurant is large and loud, but our table was in the back and somewhat protected. Great service and delicious food - what more could you ask for. Also good people watching. Lobster was done the way I asked, and the potatoes were rich but delicious. The crab cake was also excellent and large. Too full for dessert. Pricey but worth it.

This is one of those high-end, fancy shmancy places that never disappoints. The food and service is always top-notch, as it should be for this price point. I like how they have lots of options for both steak & seafood, which could be more appealing for a large crowd than your average steakhouse... On my most recent visit here, I came with a group of colleagues. I was excited to see steak tartare on the menu as it's hard to find. It was fantastic; cold, fresh and flavorful. We also got an assortment of appetizers that included sushi, oysters, bread, etc. All were excellent! For my entree, I ordered the filet mignon with black truffle butter. It came out to a perfect medium-rare as requested and it just melted in your mouth. The potato sides were my favorite - garlic mashed potatoes and jumbo tater tots!! I've never seen tater tots this huge! They were impressive and delicious. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a fancy, upscale dinner :)

Great service, great food, amazing outdoor seating The deviled eggs were fantastic and the sushi was one of the best tuna rolls I've had

Devine! I loved it and would visit again. The dry ice martini was a work of art... love love love.

Food: My boyfriend and I absolutely love Ocean Prime for fancy night's out. One of our favorite menu options is the ocean roll! - Ocean Roll - Ahi Tuna - Teriyaki Salmon - Roasted Brussel Sprouts Ambiance/Service: Upscale interior with various booths and tables to sit at. Bar area looked super cool too. Was able to book a reservation about 1-2 hrs before we came in - made the dining experience much less stressful. Our server was super accommodating and kind.

First time dining here. Made reservations to celebrate my husband 61st birthday. Requested a nice table for two with a good view. First off we were seated at a table facing a wall, no view. The food was okay. Ordered the twin lobsters and a 8oz filet. The filet wasn't tender at all. The lobsters were very small. So not enough food for the price! The best part of the dinner was the warm butter cake! It was delicious. I would definitely recommend ordering it if you have dessert. Also our server was great. Food well over priced.

Overall, Ocean Prime was a great experience. The servers were very attentive and I never had to ask for refills or assistance as they were anticipating our needs. I think the portions are good for a meal, and I felt more full since we got lots of appetizers. The oysters and seafood tasted very fresh. The restaurant is much larger than it appears and it can get quite loud in the space when it's busy, which it was, even on a Wednesday evening

Waited outside for the venue to open at 4p on a Saturday, walked away for 15mins, suddenly it was packed - thats says a lot. Despite being bombarded by a crowd, the staff remained pleasant. Landed two seats at the bar, had 3 bowls of the delectable truffled flavored complimentary popcorn. Thereafter, I ordered a cocktail which had Jessica's imprint, so good - she's the best! That was followed by my amazing seafood salad (loaded w/lobster & very generous portion). My husband had the lobster Mac, it too was tasty. The overall menu was very attractive so it definitely leaves you wanting to come back! Great experience, so glad my husband choose this place!

Went here for a birthday dinner. Very beautiful restaurant the ambiance is very fancy and calm. The decor is nice. The food was good, the drinks were not very strong. I definitely recommend for a dinner date or small event. In a lovely area as well. The waiters and staff are very nice and attentive to your needs.

If you are looking for true surf and turf this is one of the best in Boston and worth the price in my opinion. Everything we ate here was excellent - shrimp cocktail, scallops, short rib, filet mignon, lobster tail - all amazing. All the sides were notably elevated compared to other steakhouses in the area as well - creamed spinach, Brussels, garlic mashed and Mac n cheese, etc. Service helped us plan our food accordingly so it came out at the right times and they helped us pick out a bottle of red wine with our entrees. Everyone left happy with their experience! Only downside to our evening was we were seated 20 min after our reservation.

Absolutely best restaurant in the City of Boston. And I know restaurants in Boston. Ask for Jacques. Total pro! They thought of everything. Food. Ambience, vibe. Service.

I went out with my friends and chose Ocean Prime since I've never been there. Upon arrival and being seated promptly, our waiter came over and took our drink order and appetizer. Our deinks were delicious. I loved my black orchid drink. The oysters were delicious, the calamari was to die for, and the surf and turf was not good. Some of our meals were delicious. We had a cowboy steak au poivre, the jalapeños and potato au gratin, and some kind of sweet corn (forgot the name). All were very delicious. However, the other dishes: the scallop with risotto, the fish and risotto were not a favorite. The risotto was blend and the do over salty, the chef couldn't get it right. He also didn't get the lamb right either. It was salty. I came in expecting so much more since I've heard so much about it. It was my first time there and the price didn't match the dishes. I'm not quite sure I would go back.

I honestly have not one bad thing to say about this place. The ambiance is great to have dinner with some friends or have a romantic dinner. I really wanted to love it up. So I ordered a drink which I normally wouldn't but the berries and cocktails was faking my name. It was so yummy and best of all is the presentation. For my appetizer I ordered the spicy tuna but not tempura fried and I loved that I had that option and it was just as good. I wasn't too hungry due to me enjoying the bread basket. So I ordered their house salad with chicken again very good. My husband ordered the steak to medium and it was cooked per his request and a side of scallop potatoes. Good food and great company, it was a great evening. Also, their music they had playing. Wow. I was jamming in my seat listening to some throw backs I listened to when I was in high school.

We had an amazing time here for my father in laws 70th. All staff members were incredible with our group- we loved our table, we went all out and enjoyed every bite. Definitely an expensive meal but well worth it for a celebration.

This was top notch! I can't even explain how classy and amazing the food was. Appetizers, entree, dessert and cocktails all PHENOMENAL. MUST TRY- steak tartar, shrimp appetizer, lobster pasta

I know this is a highly rated restaurant and the food was excellent. The ambiance was perfect for our lunch. We enjoyed the music and could hear our conversation. It wasn't too noisy. It's the service that was highly problematic. Let's start with the good stuff and then we'll move to the areas needing improvement. We started with appetizers. The portions were a little small but the appetizers themselves were really good. The calamari was tender, perfectly crispy and we liked the chili sauce. The deviled eggs didn't have much flavor. They were pretty tasteless but that didn't stop us from eating all six! Two of us had the shellfish salad. It had lobster, shrimp, eggs, blue cheese, bacon, tomatoes and avocado. If we'd known it was so big we'd have ordered one and shared it. The salad was great!! Lots of lobster and shrimp. A dressing that wasn't too heavy. Plenty of everything. I'd return just for that salad. Two friends ordered the Poke Bowl. One really enjoyed it and the other said it was ok. Both loved the seaweed salad. They said it was excellent. Two friends had the scallops on a bed of risotto. The portions were really skimpy! One said her scallops were cooked perfectly. The other said some of her's were rubbery. Both agreed that the risotto was perfect. The last woman in our group ordered the crab cake with a side of creamed spinach. She didn't rave about either. The spinach looked really soupy. Here's the rub...the restaurant wasn't very crowded. It was 12:30 in the afternoon on a Monday. The servers assigned to our table were terribly slow and they made a mistake on one of our orders. They brought her the wrong meal. While they did apologize, it took a long time to bring her the meal. We waited so we could eat together. However two of us had hot meals which were getting cold. I forgot about the sweet endings... All of the desserts were fantastic...freaking fantastic! We loved the warm butter cake with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was so moist and not overly sweet. The plate was garnished with a tart raspberry sauce...perfection. The carrot cake was super moist and dense. There was just enough icing so we really got to enjoy the cake. The pineapple sauce garnish was a nice touch. The slice was huge! The flourless chocolate torte was very, very chocolatey. I mean rich, dark chocolate. It wasn't sweet but it was delicious. Two of my friends said it was a chocolate overload. Back to the annoyances... We had to ask for water refills twice. They never brought bread to the table. They didn't check in to be sure the meal was going well. There were two people assigned to our table but they were pretty much ghosts. When they would show up they were pleasant enough...just not very attentive. Short summary: excellent food, mediocre service.

Had a fabulous time at Ocean Prime. We had a beautiful lounge seat and amazing service. They were very busy but the staff made to sure to keep us informed and not ignore us as we waited. Can't believe we were able to get in same day Saturday at 8:30! Ended up having a delicious dinner.. the tuna tartare and ocean roll were melt in your melt, the salad and soup was spot on too. Loved the steak and lobster linguine. Overall, we were very impressed with this restaurant and found it to be top quality. Will be back!!

My husband had brought my daughter and I here to celebrate our 11 years anniversary. As soon as we walked through the doors, we were instantly welcomed by their friendly staff. The ambiance gives us a relaxed and very "chilled" mood. For appetizers; we started off with their Jumbo Lump Crab Cake and that was fresh and delicious. It didn't give you the sea after taste. We also ordered Point Judith Calamari, but it was too sweet for our preference. The East Coast oysters were ok as well. For dinner; my husband had ordered the 10oz Filet Mignon with the truffle fries for his side and the mignon was cooked to its perfection. Truffle fries were absolutely delicious. I had ordered Sea Scallops with Parmesan Risotto. I thought it was divine. However, I had ordered asparagus as my side and it was over price just for plain asparagus. My daughter had their Mac and Cheese from the kids menu and surprisingly, she wasn't a big fan of it. Apparently, the shells were a little undercooked. Overall, the atmosphere was really nice and clean. The staff were amazing, but the food was over priced to us.

The vibe is beyond cool, diverse menu, great drinks. Great service & helpful staff. Can't wait to go back.

Ocean Prime is expensive but worth it. We were able to make a reservation and sit outside, which made the experience that much more enjoyable. I dream of their ahi tuna tartare. It's perfect in every way. They also have top notch sushi - highly recommend. The scallops were absolutely perfect with risotto and I wouldn't change anything about my meal.

Yummmmm some of the best food I have had! You can never go wrong with ocean prime. I ordered a burger and dessert and the jalapeño au gratin potatoes... *chefs kiss* the burger was cooked to perfection... the true star though... the jalapeño ai gratin! Amazing. My waiter was very nice! Ocean Prime is a beautiful restaurant!

I always have a good time when I come here. The service is always good The food is great The lobster bisque is pretty good

The ambiance was nice and staff was pleasant although our actual waitress for the most part was MIA. Was it worth the price your in Boston it will always be more expensive but will I say that the food was out of this world no. The only thing I can say that was very delicious and best that I have eaten to date was their crab cake it wasn't thick with breading on inside or out.

Our waiter Francisco was fantastic. Great service. Great ambiance. However, I got the rack of lamb (second time) and ordered them medium rare how I always do. They came out severely undercooked. The center was COLD and purple. I swear I remember last year when I got them that they came out as a full rack of lamb and cut table side. This time they came out already pre cut and on a cold plate. We asked for them to be slightly cooked more and they came back half over cooked and the other half still raw. They made an entire new rack of lamb and still came out extremely undercooked, still on a cold plate. I definitely recommend not pre cutting this and placing on a hot plate. Like I said, I very much remember this is how it was done last year when I ordered them the same way and didn't have an issue. I'm writing a review mainly because I got EXTREME food poisoning the next day from the undercooked lamb. Absolutely miserable for 10 hours... please fix this issue.

Simply outstanding! What a wonderful dining experience. You're so professionally taken care of from the minute you walk in and the hostess welcomes you and takes you to your table. The wait staff was absolutely incredible so polished so professional. I really should add knowledgeable to that because they walked our table through the menu and the specials and made everything sound wonderful but guided you to what was the best choice for you personally. The wine list is a little bit pricey but it is a good list. At our table 2 people had the blackened snapper one person had the tuna and one person had the halibut over a layer of gnocchi. Sides were asparagus au gratin potatoes and brussels sprouts. All three were outstanding especially the brussels sprouts which were cooked to perfection coming with just a little bit of char on them. The mains were absolutely phenomenal the portions were big and we all four wished we had more room so that we could continue eating. It can be a little difficult to get into to make sure and make a reservation. It is also a bit expensive but it is worth every single penny! I highly recommend this restaurant!

The food and drinks are always on point. Service is great. It's always consistent and never disappoints. Decent bar for the Seaport area.

The food the service the ambiance are all ten out of ten. We had calamari, sushi, snapper and sea bass. They all tasted fresh and delicious. I highly recommend!

Hubby and I had a great time for Father's Day. He ordered the French onion soup and I ordered the Caesar salad. Then we shared/split the 16 ounce rib eye, and the twin Lobster tail with asparagus and an order of the smoked Gouda tater tots and we ate every last bite because it was scrumptious. The steak melted in your mouth. The horseradish dip and the dip for the tater tots were divine. The lobster tail was boosting with flavor. The French onion soup is not something I usually like but I tried a bite and it was to die for. We didn't have room for dessert but I did enjoy a cappuccino and that was also flavorful and smooth. Our server was attentive and a gentleman. We'll be back!

Delicious food and great service. The oysters were smooth and the scallops with risotto melted in your mouth, both naturally gluten free. Excellent dinner!

Just over 2 weeks ago, my best friend and I took my mother here for her birthday dinner - and she hasn't stopped talking about it since. I'd planned a long weekend trip to Boston for us because my best friend (who she's basically adopted as a bonus kid) is living in the city for a year. Dinner at Ocean Prime was *the* birthday dinner of the weekend celebration extravaganza. I'd made reservations (via OpenTable - no matter how you make them, I *definitely* recommend reservations. The place is CROWDED), and we got a great booth (just as requested). Our server was wonderful, and she really enhanced the celebratory nature of the night... she's was so good that she actually talked my mother into trying the fish for dinner (the Chilean Sea Bass - with Whipped Potatoes and Champagne Truffle Sauce), when my mother never really eats fish. And? My mother LOOOOVED it. My friend and I kinda went all out for this dinner. Besides the fish, our dinner that night consisted of oysters and shrimp cocktail for apps, 3 of the "Berries 'n Bubbles" cocktails, my friend and I both ordered filets with 3 scallops on the side (him with bernaise sauce, me with truffle butter sauce) for our dinners themselves, and then we ordered sides to share at the table, including the parmesan truffle fries and the broccoli & cauliflower. To end the night, we all ordered crème brûlée (which I'm shocked to say my mother had NEVER had before(!)... HOW?!), with my mother's being on the house, of course. We were all so full by the end of the night. All in all, a delightful night made all the more special by the excellent service and wonderful food. Thank you for making my mother's birthday dinner so special, Ocean Prime!

This location is terrible , service was so slow when all I wanted to do is order more drinks and food but our server never came around enough times and food was really basic.

Nice bar area but dated decor. Bartenders are super nice that give big pours but the food that I had was sadly underwhelming. Shrimp cocktail was pretty good with a nice show and a good portion although not sure it was worth its price. The sushi rolls are so sad and poor that I feel completely ripped off for ordering them. DO NOT ORER THE SUSHI ROLLS. Totally underwhelming and not worth it.

Wonderful upscale ambiance and delicious cocktail menu. I have been to the bar only, both eating and drinking, and the service was impeccable. I was even here one night alone after leaving a bad date (he was married....!) but ended up having a great time meeting others at the bar, even if they were my grandpa's age. Very attentive servers, highly recommend.

6/17/23 -- I went here with a few friends when I was back in town for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. The place was beautiful and had an elegant touch as soon as you walked in! Our waiter was everything we could have asked for. My friend has a gluten allergy and the server answered all of her questions thoughtfully and honestly. He also explained the ticketing process the restaurant provides for people with gluten allergies. At the end of the meal, he brought us out a piece of cake a cake (that had gluten free flour) to also accommodate my friend! We all ordered different assortments. I had the lobster linguine which had a generous amount of lobster and left me leaving full. My other friends had different types of sushi which they also thoroughly enjoyed. The only reason I'm giving four stars is because my friend who has the gluten allergy ended up feeling sick later about a hour later, which is usually the timeline when she has had something with gluten in it. She's didn't eat anything else so she's sure it was something she had at Ocean Prime. Overall, I would still recommend this restaurant to people who ask. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service.
