Ocean Prime is always a good choice for dinner. Wednesday night reservations at 6PM for 4 people. I pulled up to Valet and a little wait for attendant. The attendant was apologizing for the wait and was very professional. We were promptly seated in the dining room because the skies were becoming very dark and a storm was approaching. This location has plenty of windows overlooking the patio area which is decorated with beautiful plants and flowers.
We began with cocktails and if you have not tried the Black Orchid ... you are missing out. This is definitely one my favorites. Belvedere Organic Blackberry & Lemongrass Infusion, St. Germain, Fresh Lemon & White Cranberry. This cocktail
Is shaken and pour over a cube of ice with an edible orchid. Light and refreshing a perfect summer drink.
Popcorn is always placed on the tables and a great snack to enjoy while sipping on drinks and chatting. The bread basket arrived with fresh breads and whipped butter. I do recommend asking server for some melted cheese to compliment the pretzel rolls,
Appetizers were ordered followed by soup and salads.
AHI TUNA TARTARE* Avocado, Ginger Ponzu, Sesame Seeds. Absolutely delicious, the tuna was so fresh you would have thought the caught it that day.
POINT JUDITH CALAMARI with Sweet Chili Sauce. The chili sauce had just the right amount of sweetness and heat.
The CHOP CHOP SALAD is very popular, Hard Cooked Egg, Salami, Fresh Mozzarella, Smoked Bacon, Club Dressing. I would suggest to order the dressing on the side as it was a little to much for my liking. Let's not forget the CRISP ICEBERG "WEDGE" Candied Bacon, Marinated Tomatoes, Pickled Onions, Bleu Cheese, Cabernet Buttermilk Dressing
The LOBSTER BISQUE Butter Poached Lobster was rich and creamy.
Entrees arrived with a nice presentation and I can appreciate that each course is timed perfectly. You never feel rushed and the time in between allows you to digest the food ;)
CHILEAN SEA BASS Whipped Potatoes, Champagne Truffle Sauce
Fresh fresh and perfectly cooked, the potatoes were fluffy which melted in your mouth.
TERIYAKI SALMON* Shiitake Sticky Rice, Soy Butter Sauce beautiful presentation however, disappointed the salmon was rare and not cooked at all. The server took one look after I cut into it and immediately apologize and removed the plate.
10 OZ FILET MIGNON with BÉARNAISE SAUCE
OP is know for steaks and seafood and this cut of meat was great. They broil at 1200° with their blessed seasoning. One bite which melts away on your tongue.
CRAB CAKES Brussels Sprouts, Corn, Tomatoes, Fingerlings, Mustard Cream
Ordering crab cakes in this day and age.. you hold your breath hoping you do not end up with 2 small cakes mostly filled with everything BUT the crab! Not here ... these were nice portions with large pieces of crab
Shareable a for the table
SMOKED GOUDA TATER TOTS - yum yum everyone loves tater tots
ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS - hard pass these were lightly roasted and very bitter. I love Brussels sprouts ask anyone but these were gross they should have added something (hey how about a little butter)
BACON CREAMED SPINACH - a nice amount of bacon which did not over power.
