Sophisticated steak & seafood with lobster mac, carrot cake & cocktails
"With a seductive dining room, lavish grand seating, modern deco walls, bubbly cocktails, and, frequently, dimmed lights, Ocean Prime is a Center City steakhouse for grown adults. Designed to evoke an intimate, yet elegant, lounge — this Rittenhouse spot is known for its surf & turf options and memorable 12-ounce bone-in filet." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
"The New York location of the same steakhouse chain prices the shrimp cocktail around $31, signaling that premium steakhouses in major cities are positioning the dish as a near-$30 splurge." - ByRyan Sutton
"The steakhouse chain with a loyal following for power lunches knows how to kick off a hearty meal with a cocktail. Opt into a cucumber gimlet, made with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE gin, muddled fresh cucumber, simple syrup and hand squeezed lime. It’s not quite a salad, but it’s veggie-forward enough to segue straight to heftier appetizers like lobster bisque and white truffle caviar deviled eggs." - Vox Creative
"I felt Ocean Prime doesn’t do much to separate itself from the pack, though its 8-ounce filet showed depth, a butter-knife texture and a surprising amount of juice." - Jeffy Mai
"Ocean Prime is a strong new contender in Chicago’s steakhouse scene. Graham Meyer says the 14-ounce New York strip is a “beautiful piece of meat” that boasts a “superb crust, show[ing] almost no gristle.” White truffle caviar deviled eggs combine “two hackneyed luxury ingredients into a not-cliche appetizer,” and the flavors of both delicacies are able to come through. Other menu “novelties” include a spicy tuna roll that lets the fish’s “freshness glimmer through the sauce, dulling the sting of the high price tag;” and a Maryland crab melt featuring a large crab cake on a bun with arugula, tomato, and “pleasantly zippy” tartar sauce." - Jeffy Mai
