Ocean Prime

I had the pleasure of dining at Ocean Prime last night and was very pleased with the overall experience. I ordered the special halibut main course, which was expertly cooked flaky, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The cocktail I chose was both well crafted and beautifully presented, a great complement prior the meal. A nice surprise was the bread served alongside the main course, which added a thoughtful touch. The ambiance of the restaurant was spot on elegant yet comfortable and the staff was attentive and professional throughout the evening. The dessert menu looked tempting, though I did feel the pricing was a bit on the high side. At $17, it seemed slightly steep, and something in the $12–15 range might have felt more appropriate. That said, the wine list was strong, with a solid selection to choose from, and I was able to find something that paired nicely with the meal. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I’d definitely return! On the side note, there is a lot of homeless on the streets i would recommend driving or walking as a group.

We just got back from our anniversary dinner there and absolutely loved it. Beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and such attentive staff. I will forever be thinking about the bacon creamed spinach! They made our little celebration out a memorable one, and we will definitely be back :)

I was brought here for my birthday dinner a few weeks ago and was more than satisfied. It’s clean and beautiful. The menu has great selections and everything we had was delicious. Filet, garlic scampi shrimp, salmon, asparagus and roasted Brussels sprouts. No complaints at all everything was fresh and flavorful. Everyone from the host to the waitress to the food runner was friendly and had a smile on their face. The butter cake was to die for!!!

Fantastic anniversary dinner! Marcus was incredibly outgoing and generous with his time. The service was attentive, but not at all rushed. We loved our appetizers most - the Wagyu filet was tender but far too salty. I’d consider asking them to limit the salt and add more yourself if you need to.

Beautiful date night spot. We went twice during Restaurant Week and definitely got a great deal with excellent service! Amazing salmon and rice dish!!!!! I would definitely come back!

John was an astute gentleman. It was my Fiancée’s birthday and both of our first times. They even created a Happy Birthday Menu! All of the food was top notch and delicious. We will absolutely be back.

I wish I could give 10 STARS !! ⭐️ This was an amazing experience. Brice, our waiter was immaculate. He recommended my amazing drink as well as my birthday dessert cake. He went above and beyond to make my night special. He even asked if it was a special occasion and sprung in to action to make a great night, with ease. He had us laughing, and very informative when it comes to the menu. He was also training, and his trainee did a great job checking in and serving as well. Everyone worked as a team, other waiters would also refill our glasses, grab plates. Everyone worked as one a beautiful sight. Thanks so much for everything! We’ll be back!

Best. Steak. Ever. 5 stars across the board. This place is definitely on the upscale side, so be prepared to drop a bit of cash—but trust me, it is 1000% worth it for a special occasion. For two people, we spent around $150 total and got a 16oz ribeye, Cobb salad, garlic mashed potatoes, and two cocktails. The service? Phenomenal. Like, walked-us-to-our-table, napkin-in-your-lap, menu-read-to-you level of service. They went so above and beyond—it really made the night feel special. We also got free bread and pretzels to start, and they were SO warm, fresh, and delicious. Just the kind of thing that sets the tone for an amazing meal. It’s not a fast dining experience by any means—but it’s not supposed to be. This is the kind of place where you settle in, enjoy the ambiance, sip your cocktail, and savor every bite. Totally worth the time. And let me be clear: this is the kind of upscale spot where you actually get what you pay for. The food was incredible, the portions were generous, the ambiance was amazing, and the service was flawless. I’ve been to fancy restaurants where you pay $$$ for tiny portions and “ok” food—this is not that. We literally devoured everything on our plates in under 10 minutes. It was that good. I came here for my birthday, and they made it feel like a true celebration—custom menu, free dessert, the whole thing. I felt so special, and I already want to come back.

Arrived at 4:30 for an anniversary dinner. The valet quickly took our car with professionalism and efficiency. Walking into the restaurant, we were immediately struck by the intimate ambiance, and the waitstaff made us feel special. Our server was Casey, who helped us make some decisions about our meal, which improved the overall experience. We loved her bacon cream spinach recommendation. Both of our steaks--a filet mignon and New York strip--were excellent. We ate every bite. The dessert--a combination of chocolate and peanut butter-was tasty and capped off a wonderful evening. Although I didn't see coffee on the menu, they had it, and it was piping hot and freshly brewed. What a way to celebrate 13 years! Thanks, Ocean Prime!

I guess I'm open to giving them another try but I found this Ocean Prime to be extremely expensive for experience. I sat at the bar and I had a chop chop salad, a 10 oz filet and whipped potatoes with one craft beer and one 6 oz pour of Justin Isosceles red blend. This individual meal was almost $190 including tip. The food was good but not outstanding. The service was friendly but not efficient. All in all, a "good" experience at prices that should reflect an Amazing one. I'm only a bit disappointed but that shouldn't happen at this price point.

In the heart of Philly on a bustling convention filled Friday night we were able to get a last minute reservations for 4 at 6:45pm! We were greeted promptly upon entering and directed to the bar as our complete party had not arrived! The bartenders were attentive and nice! I ordered the hot and dirty martini! Well, well....perfection! Adult chic vibe and a diverse crowd. We were seated and the our server was exceptional! Hear me! Guy was on point and his haircut was fresh and lined to the max. Appearance and hygiene matter! He loved his job! I ordered a blackberry concoction, not too sweet and surpassed my every expectation! Next, Spicy tuna roll and calamari! What can I say....the best we've had this summer! That's how the meal started! The ribeye was cooked to perfect medium Temperature and my wife's scallops were so good I wanted to eat her plate as well because the risotto was literally one of the best risottos I've ever had! Creamed spinach, gratin potatoes and corn were worth the price and the order! Impressed that they carry Raymond wines and our guest was blown away by the merlot! The desserts...well...sinful! That chocolate peanut butter and warm butter cake! Slap yo momma and stand there! Capped with a latte and coffee! Perfection! A wonderful evening and well pleased. Why this gets a 5! Remember the server....I had ordered a small wedge and it never came. So when he noticed and I bought it to his attention. He apologized and insisted that he bring it out as it wouldn't be a charge. He cared! And that matters! Check them out! Again a very diverse and eclectic gathering of people at this location! Love Philly! We will be back!

So far so good! This place is bomb! First off, I am a huge fan of low lighting at a restaurant. Although it can feel intimate, it's so sexy to me. Even if you are dining with friends or with a date, the tone of the lighting sets the vibe. Even if you are here with family, the lighting should ignite something in you to sit up straight, be chill, be cute... it's just a vibe. Now, I wouldn't suggest dining here with family, but hopefully you get the picture. It's ideal for a fun group - corporate group - or alone. I dined here with my husband and a friend, so it's the three of us and we had a ball. We dined at a round booth and had a small night cap at the bar just before closing. Everything was pretty much on point. My only hiccup was the complimentary truffle popcorn at the bar. Gross! I would have loved just plain popcorn or even buttered. But trying to eat the truffle popcorn and enjoy a cocktail was not right for me. I doubled my cocktail and asked the young lady to trash the popcorn. Nevertheless, the service from the moment we walked in until shutting the bar down, was priceless! When we are in town again, I am definitely requesting we dine here. Not sure how the parking works, we visited from out of town and caught a 15 minute Uber ride from our hotel. I highly recommend you try this spot, and be ready to pay a hefty price or visit for drinks and/or dessert to get a feel before you go all out for dinner. Have fun and enjoy life :)

We gathered here for a celebratory meal in observance of the Christmas Holiday. The doormen welcomed us inside and the ambiance was inviting as well. Dimly lit, twinkling lights, well appointed, two of us took a seat at the bar while we waited for our others to arrive. The bartender was nice and friendly, presenting us with a bowl of seasoned popcorn as we perused the cocktail menu. Drinks are super pricey and the popcorn super salty. We were seated at a booth opposite the end of the bar near the servers station. I personally hate that proximity but I did not make a fuss. We were well taken care of by our server, Casey, the obligatory Bubbles and Berries was poured and captured on video for posterity. It was a great time and environment to have a festive meal. Everyone enjoyed their chosen dishes which included the Crab Cake, Sushi, Sautéed Shrimp, Shrimp Cocktail and Calamari appetizers. I had the latter and loved the spicy slaw that was in top. Would definitely have that again. Entrees were the Sea Bass, the Salmon and for me the Lobster Linguine. My sister raved about the salmon. My pasta was tasty but at 60.00 felt way overpriced. One other item I would recommend were the tater tots. Delicious!!!!

Philadelphia's Ocean Prime location is one of a kind! From its beautiful structure, indoor seating options and overall venue (lighting, service, soft diverse music and staff). It's located in the vibrant and energetic Center City. It's within walking distance of other main attractions of downtown Philly and City Hall (train). My dining preference is the bar, each visit. But last week I had the opportunity to dine in for dinner in the dining room (main floor) and the service was top tier. The server was incredible and the food was well. This was my friend's first time visiting Ocean Prime and they were impressed with the food, visit and location. My go-to is the Expresso Martini as it's made just right (for me). And the Staff's Pick of the sushi roll. The Carrot Cake (pictured) is my favorite dessert, the size (shareable) and its taste is great! The bar staff is professional, kind and very attentive to guest needs! I encourage you to visit Ocean Prime when in Philly!

Whenever I travel to Philadelphia for our annual hiring conference, we always make it a point to visit Ocean Prime. What can I say? I LOVE THE FOOD! It never disappoints. Unfortunately, since it was restaurant week, we had an 8:15 pm reservation but weren't seated until closer to 8:45 pm, which was frustrating because we were starving. For the most part, the service was great, but one of our friends had severe allergies to nuts and certain fruits, so she had to be very careful with her choices. When we reached the dessert menu, sadly, none of the options (restaurant week menu) were suitable for her unless she wanted to risk a trip to the hospital. I was hoping the waitress would offer to help, but instead, we had to ask. She seemed surprised by our request as if we were asking for something extravagant. Thankfully, after we inquired, she did ask the manager to substitute a chocolate cake for her. Other than that, everything else was wonderful. Of course, we will be coming back--the food is always consistent!

My girlfriend and I parked here because valet is very reasonable as opposed to the nearby parking garage right across the street. Keep in mind if you do use the valet to go somewhere close by I believe you have to be back by a certain time so I would ask the valet person. They take cash & card. Atmosphere: low lighting and a little noisy Service: we came here two days in a row, and the following staff was amazing Jeremy, Angus. Q and the star bartender Alexis. If you wanna have some good drinks, Alexis is at The Bar on Tuesday Friday and Saturdays. She's very engaging very knowledgeable, clean and accommodating! I believe during happy hour drinks are five dollars off of the menu drinks and 50% off the food. The calamari is great. The Wagyu burger was OK and the fries were great. They also have on the happy hour menu lamb sliders, and a few other things that are tasty. For dinner or lunch. I would suggest that you make reservations. They also have a Mother's Day brunch that you can book early in the year because it fills up. I hope you enjoy Ocean prime as much as I do if you get to go there. Every time I come to Ocean prime I always get the berries and bubbles because I really enjoy it and they put ice that fizz is up and creates little smoke so it's really great and cool. Not to mention very delicious. This time around I had the lemon pate I believe or something like that. It's a version of a lemon drop; a pineapple pate I think it was called . They have it spicy. It's a little spice to it, but Alexis was so nice to not include the spice for me, but when I did taste it with the spice, it was actually good. Alexis also made me a custom drink and she did a great job ! She checked to see if liked it and even tasted it herself and felt she could do better. she kept at it until she perfected it and that was great customer service . I love great service and Alexis definitely provided that! Overall I enjoy coming to Ocean prime. I have dined here as well and both are great. P.S. I love the popcorn that is served at the bar! It's the truffle oil!

I went here after the theater. Service was fantastic and the ambience was good. I started off with lobster bisque that had chunks of lobster. The entree was an 8 oz filet with blue cheese crusted med rare. It was so dry and I could not taste any blue cheese. All I tasted was salt. The same with the brussels sprouts. Very good but too salty. The bread was ok. I paired it with an OR pinot noir that was great. My dessert was an espresso which they charged me $19 when the menu said $17. I would give back to give it another try and to get something else.

Great service, better food! The whole experience was exactly what you want when you need a great meal with nice ambiance.

In my top 10 restaurants in Philly. Came here multiple times both for a sit down meal and at the bar and was equally impressed both times. Love the dark/intimate ambiance --perfect for a date or special occasion. Service was on point and very attentive. I unknowingly ordered a dessert with nuts in it and when I brought it to the attention of the waiter, he promptly brought a new dessert. Coming from someone who mainly eats seafood If you had to get only one thing here, get the snapper! It is flavorful and tender! I always recommend it anytime I suggest Ocean Prime. The salmon was great too and although not a sushi spot, I was pleasantly surprised by the dynamite roll. The chocolate torte was phenomenal--rich, creamy, and not too sweet (I definitely think about it from time to time). If you want to have a fun, upscale night out, this should definitely be on your list

Can't go wrong with a night out at one of Philly's iconic steakhouses! As a pescatarian with steak-loving friends, this place was perfect to satisfy both of our cravings. I ordered the scallop risotto and we order a few sharable sides. I highly recommend the gouda bites! I will say it's definitely pricey but you only live once so treat yourself and enjoy the classy vibes.

A great place for steak & seafood. They have a good selection of wines and bartenders who can make any drink not on the menu. Good for groups or a romantic get away. Staff is very helpful.

Ocean prime is actually one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Tonight I decided to stop by while I wait for my reservations that I had at another location across the street so I sat at the bar. I ordered a drink and and appetizer. The restaurant was crowded. The noise level wasn't too bad for the amount of people that was inside the restaurant. I was comfortable with the noise level. It's always good service there. I've never had an issue. It's always clean, this place is great date night or celebrations.

Went to this location to have dinner with my three nephews (one flew in from Detroit, one drove in from Connecticut, and the other drove in from Bristol, PA), my brother-in-law from Georgia and my husband. We initially went to Del Frisco's but could not be seated because my nephew who flew in from Detroit had on a hoodie so they refused to seat us because they said the hoodie did not comply with their dress code so we went across the street to Ocean Prime. It was a great choice because the truth of the matter is I had dined at Del Frisco's before and did not enjoy it. All the guys ordered steak or fish but I ordered a Caesar salad with a bubbles and bauble drink. I was in seventh heaven. Everyone enjoyed their food and we went to our hotel and slept like babies.

Beautiful restaurant, the staff was accommodating when we had to add an additional person to the reservation. The filet was delicious and the sides, the potatoes and the Brussels both fantastic. Now the dessert, the warm vanilla cake with ice cream..that is what dreams are made of!

My partner and I visited this location for my birthday and had an amazing experience. It was our first time eating at this establishment. Juan was our server and was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. His recommendations were also spot on. He made us feel very welcomed. Again it was my birthday and Juan made sure to wish me a Happy birthday. The lighting in the restaurant was perfect. At first you are expecting it to be darker but once you are seated the lighting makes sense. We will definitely be visiting again and asking for Juan if possible!

Wonderful ambiance and super staff; the individuals working with us were very responsive, friendly and knowledgable. We each had 3 courses starting with 1/2 salads for the chop chop and Ocean Prime House; the salads were extremely good. For appetizers, one of us tried the daily special sushi roll (salmon, mango, tobiko with a spicy mango sauce) and the 'surf and turf'. The sushi roll was very good although the mango was not as 'soft' as it should be while the surf and turf's short rib was a little boring and the scallops pretty good. For mains one of us had the ora king salmon and the other had the daily special Chilean sea bass. The ora king salmon was very good but had a different taste than the Alaskan salmon we are used to (is that good or bad?). The Chilean sea bass special was pretty delicious; although we were surprised when we got the bill and it was so much pricier than the menu Chilean sea bass. We also had a side of brussels sprouts that were delicious. We also tried a glass of pinot noir and a glass of shiraz - both were delicious. Also tried a resposado paper plane - wow that was delicious! I know it's Ocean Prime but I opine the mark-ups on alcohol are too high (I would have loved a glass of Prisoner red blend - but at $35 for 6 ounces while a whole bottle costs $50 seems like a hefty mark up I at least wouldn't go for). Total including tip for the 2 of us with all this food was $400 - which I would be happier with if the meal was outstanding.

Our first time here as we just moved from California ! Go Birds We sat at the bar and Michael was very good to us! We enjoyed prime rib with all the delicious sides like a twice baked potatoe and creamed corn! The food and service top notch . I appreciated the server boxing our food up so nicely , remind me to ask for extra butter for our steak ! We can't to come back for the tomahawk!

A super place for a awesome meal. Rally a comfortable dinning experience with fantastic servers eagerly offering their help when needed. Food was 5* all the way. Tasty, beautifully presented and leaving us with nothing to desire more. A great place overall and well worth it.

Ocean Prime was our second happy hour stop on a rainy evening in Philly. We were lucky to get the last high top table in the bar area. Ryan was our server and he was absolutely amazing. They give you the most amazing complimentary truffle popcorn. It was the yummiest popcorn ever, we couldn't get enough. We started with drinks, while we perused the menu. Their happy hour special is $5 off the items on the lounge menu. So, we had a little of everything to start. The Parmesan Truffle Fries were thick cut and pretty good. The Tuna Tartare was very flavorful and the presentation was lovely. The Lamb Lollipops were flavorful as well. Later we ordered dinner to share since we had been eating appetizers for the last 3 hours. We ordered the Rib Eye medium, the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Spinach which had bacon in it, and one of the sushi rolls. The Rib Eye was delicious, especially with the black truffle butter. The Creamed Spinach and the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes were delicious. The sushi was ok, the rice was over cooked and kinda mushy. For dessert we had the butter cake, it was good. We loved our time at Ocean Prime and would highly recommend it.

If I could give 6 stars i would because. Best wagu steak ever best ribeye steak too. Its the best experience ever and they make a damn good carrot cake I recommend alot

My daughter took me to Ocean Prime for Father's Day. It enabled her to celebrate me while dining at a restaurant on her list. The design of the restaurant is esthetically pleasing and it appears that they are welcoming to all. The bar section seems to be more casual and several diners had small children. Service was amazing as multiple staff help to ensure your food arrives quickly and finished items are removed promptly. Unfortunately the quality of the food was disappointing. The lobster in the lobster bisque and lobster linguine was chewy and overcooked. The blackened snapper was also overcooked and the roasted brussel sprouts were salty. Overall it was an average dining experience.

Ocean Prime @ Philidelphia - Mothers Day This will be remembered as the worst dining experience we've had on a holiday. Casey was our table host. She introduced herself and then asked for our drink order. We quickly requested our go to sparkling water. I asked what kind they have, and she told us that they only serve one type. When I told her I didn't recognize the brand she quickly defined it to be "Exactly like San Pelligrino". SP is what we drink at home, so we concluded that part of the conversation with acceptance. After dinking the water we were served, I went to refill our glasses with the bottle left on the table. I found the bottle to be very odd for a recyclable. When I ask Casey about the bottle, she told me that in fact the bottle was reused in house over and over again because the water is TAP WATER funneled through a "Reverse osmosis, filtration system". STRIKE ONE It is our opinion, when Casey was recognized as a fabulist storyteller, she tried to overcompensate by coming to our table every 5 minutes to ask if we needed anything, interrupting our family conversations. After the third time, I ignored her and she loudly humph'd and walked away. STRIKE TWO When she returned with our second course meal utensils, she purposely dropped them on the stainless serving table next to our table loudly. So much so, everyone sitting at tables around us looked to see what caused the noise. This was extra disturbing because we still hadn't received our cinnamon bread, ordered to go with the appetizer that Casey suggested. She had walked away too quickly we couldn't ask for the missing part of our meal. As she walked by our table again, the celebrant of the day asked if she had forgotten our bread. Casey said, "No you gave me the impression you wanted it served with your main course." (UNEQUIVICALLY NOT TRUE) She also alluded to having some made immediately to bring to the table. STRIKE THREE - FIVE She then sent someone over with our bread. They placed the plate on the table picked up the little cream container, holding the warm icing, and poured it... wait, no pour. The waiter tried turning the container over and no pour, drip, not even a ripple. It HAD been sitting for so long that the icing had hardened again. Wait Casey, if we gave you the impression, we wanted it served with our main course, and we still hadn't received our main course, why did it become hard again after cooling? Asking for a review friend. STRIKE SIX This was all too much for Casey to manipulate herself through and no longer would make eye contact or address our table. Even when it was time to give us the check, she couldn't look at us as she murmured something under her breath that sounded like, we hope you enjoyed you time here at Ocean Prime. If I could have left zero tip and felt good about it, thats what this person deserved for the service she gave. It was truly the worst family meal experience we ever had. I left the typical 15% because the rest of the staff were kind, thorough and accommodating. In particular, the waitress assistant Makayla, was not only super kind but I give her five stars for being able to share her light when surrounded by darkness. I now see that the more recent 1-star reviews are heavy in the favor of the Philidelphia location. I want to presume that this is a waitress issue (Casey) and not that of Ocean Prime. I dont imagine that I would ever go back to Ocean Prime, when Del Frisco's is a block away and we never had a bad experience there... but if I do it will be a different shift, not a holiday and after making sure Casey is not working. Really, tap water filtered is the same as San Pellegrino?

We went here for a friend's 40th. Such a cool place. We went in the basement lounge for drinks, and and they had live piano player and singer. Very enjoyable. I got an espresso and a coffee. Both are very good. Will be careful. It's an extra dollar for whole milk. Overall prices on drinks were not bad at all. They'll deliver your whiskey to your table with a bunch of smoke. The decor is beautiful, stained carved wood Make sure you look up at the ceiling when going to use the bathroom. I was using the women's room because I didn't see the signs.

I guess I'm suppose to rate this highly because it's a nice place with an expensive menu. The fact is it's fairly average, most of us had steaks which were good, I would say no better than other chain places but good. The ambience is elegant, so it has the fancy feel to it. I guess what made this experience a little less than I hoped was the service, it was cold and very business like, no effort to get to know the party. When we left no greeting or goodbye, just move on to the next party. There some nice local places I'm sorry I missed to go here.

Hands down best steak experience that I've ever eaten- and it was really shocking. We are on the top floor, great ambiance and amazing service- quite attentive, great Negroni and wine selection. It was a great evening and all of us had an excellent dining experience. Looking forward to going to another Ocean Prime experience (but will need to travel)...

Bryce was knowledgeable, attentive, and wonderful! The food was absolutely delicious as always! Calm atmosphere and clean, upscale but not cold. Always love Ocean Prime!

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday. Service was on point. Food and cocktails were so good. We will be back

We went there to celebrate my son's birthday. Great service, food was amazing! We went early evening so it was a little quiet which was perfect !! I highly recommend eating at Ocean Prime! 10/10 in every way!

I have experience dining at a few Cameron Mitchell locations. Always great. It's a never fail.

Amazing food and serive inside. They door guy however, was not doing his job and was smoking. I asked him his name he said Floyd P. I asked if he worked here, he said, "What I'm on break." I just wanted to know if this was the entrance.

Gorgeous interior and fantastic meal. We were originally sat directly in front of the glass wall that shows the kitchen/drop area. It's nice to view but I don't want to sit there, especially not for my birthday. We spoke with the server and we were moved to a booth. Much better. The bread was slapping. I almost ignored the pretzels but glad I tried it because when that salt mixed with the whipped butter oooo weee. We got 2 baskets because we fasted for 20 hours and also because we're greedy. We started with crème brûlée (hey, I said it's my birthday), drinks, Parmesan fries and the shrimp sauté. I got Bubbling Berries as my drink and my partner got the pineapple something or another. It had St Germain in it and it was definitely not his style. My drink was amazing so I had two. The Parmesan fries were delicious. Nice and thick cut. If you're gonna pay for gourmet fries these are it. Simple and delicious. That shrimp sautée was tasty as well. Large shrimp and the toast points that come with it are top notch. Premium, flaky sliced bread with melted cheese on top. The sauce at the bottom of the dish is heavenly. We slid our bread all through there and were not disappointed. For dinner we got twin lobster tails, blacked snapper, jalapeño au gratin, and truffle Mac and cheese. I'm so glad the lobster came with a few asparagus pieces since we didn't bother ordering any veggies today. I mean, we didn't eat them, but they definitely made us look more mature than our order let on. Lobster was delicious, the butter warmer was a nice touch. The Blacked catfish honestly looks more delicious than it really is. We should've gotten four lobster tails. Both side dishes were amazing. We finished off our meal with more creme brûlée cause I told y'all it's my birthday. Honestly there's is the best I've had. It's smooth, creamy, and they have the thickest brûlée layer I've had anyplace else. I'll be going back for more. $300 (before tip)for this yummy dinner; vibes=priceless.

The food was absolutely amazing! The seafood special was so delicious, the braised sea bass with king crab pieces and asparagus was so flavorful and tender, the calamari with the sweet and spicy sauce was something else too!! My favorite has to be the surf and turf appetizers, the short rib was so juicy and tender and didn't even require a knife, and the scallops were super buttery! The staff is absolutely amazing, very kind and very attentive, and the overall experience is amazing, the interior is so beautiful and it's overall fine dining.

READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING: Visited: 2/13/25 If you are reading this; I do not know what happened to Ocean Prime during my experience but these 5 star reviews are either paid, lying, or both. After seeing nothing but five stars, I decided to book a reservation for my wife and I. I kid you not as we walk in there is a CROWD out angry people waiting for valet, and I quote "Order your valet before you sit so it can get here by the time youre done eating" was yelled at us as a friendly warning, but we did not take heed to their irritation of the service because we did not drive. Our reservation that I booked through open table's recommendation was at 9PM, and we were not seated until 10 maybe. We were sat at the bar while our table was "being prepared" for an hour. I am Autistic and am terribly uncomfortable sitting on high top tables which is why specifically chose against sitting when booking my reservation. Moreover, we ordered margaritas, and our bar tab was $75 for two margaritas that we only ordered because we were waiting for our table; Nonsense, but at this point at about 10:20PM while waiting for a 9PM table in a TWO FLOOR restaurant, we were so hungry. We get seated, and continue to wait while we watch servers put on their coats to leave, as they are clearly outnumbered. While waiting to even meet our server, we look around and see nothing but unhappy faces and empty tables. Murmurs about the quality, but nothing being done by Ocean Prime. I was sat by the kitchen and watched the food be made just to sit under the lamps as the servers just left. Pitifully, gave us a bread basket with one piece of bread ripped in half for us to have one slither each after being forcefed popcorn at the bar. That was our last straw, we saw people who were waiting when we ARRIVED still have no food. Kid you not we ordered UberEats to beat us home, and we left without tasting a bite of food other than snacks really. We decided to cut our losses with the margs, and honestly, once again, if you are reading this; I do not know what happened to Ocean Prime during my experience but these 5 star reviews are either paid, lying, or both. I HIGHLY recommend Buddakan for higher class dining in Philadelphia, or Del Frisco's if you want similar menu items but much better ingredients. 0/10 Ocean Prime. Go birds! Pictured is the peasant popcorn that accompanied $35 margaritas ????

I have to point out a unique experience with what has become a ubiquitous dish, sea bass. The sea bass filet over risotto is the best I recall. Crisped on the outside while soft and pertly cooked beneath the slightly hardened edge, a touch of sea salt left me hoping for more. Service was incredible. Dishes served to the table all at once.

Super late in sharing but we took our daughter here for her 20th birthday in November before we saw Wicked and the Service was amazing and truly made great menu suggestions and were highly attentive. Heading back for another show and came back to see a comment about their service and was shocked so needed to share my experience. This restaurant is definitely In our top 5 favorites of all time. Beautiful ambience and every order from drinks appetizers and meals were impeccably presented and delicious. Highly recommend.

Hello Fellow Yelpers! I had an awesome dinner at Ocean Prime on Friday. I made reservations in advance but the place was moderately crowded. Our waitress was KC; she was polite and attentive. The restaurant had a nice vibe and music in the background ground made it even better. We ordered cocktail shrimp, crab cake, Caesar salad, 22oz ribeye, Brussel sprouts, lobster mac and cheese, the grouper on a bed of lobster risotto, the lobster bisque, and for dessert butter cake with ice cream. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the Brussel sprouts, they were tasty and the right combination of crispy, and soft. The grouper on the bed of lobster risotto is also a strong recommendation, very tasty. If you want an amazing dessert order the butter cake it is worth every calorie. Here are some pictures showing for you to reference.

Very disappointing dinner we had here. It started good with French onion soup that was delicious. The bread basket isn't worth it... pretzel stick bread was just ok, not worth the calories! I had a filet with blue cheese crust. It was served on a plate that was filled with liquid from the steak, swimming in it! And the blue cheese crust was sweet tasting when it should have been tangy. Very little flavor in the actual steak. My husband thought the same with his. He also got a lobster tail that he said was mediocre at best. Not the quality we were expecting at all, especially for the high price point! The creamed spinach was really good, as well as dessert and coffee. Both delicious. But will not be coming back based on the flavorless filet and price point.

First time back here in seven years and once again they didn't disappoint. The one thing that I always say about going to a restaurant whether it be a dive or high end establishment is deliver the experience. Make everyone feel like a superstar and they will come back over and over again. Ocean Prime once again knew their assignment. The food was good and the atmosphere is nothing short of high end elegance. Glass was never empty and there was always someone walking by that if you even looked like you needed something, they were on the spot. Thanks for making our anniversary evening special!

Visited Ocean Prime to kick off center city district restaurant week. It was not busy at all ( could be due to the Eagles game). Service was great! No long waits! I usually get Steak but decided to try the Teriyaki Salmon and it was a great choice. My cocktail of choice was the berries and bubbles which is a whole moment with bubbles and smoke. Music played in the background and was not too loud. Great choice for a date night.

I cannot rave enough about this establishment. Ocean Prime everywhere has top notch food, but our server Jim, was OUT OF THIS WORLD. He made a girls dinner so much more fun. We had tons of food, cocktails and thanks to Jim lots of laughs.

Reservations are needed. Since they are busy don't expect to be seated early. Waiter was good. Drinks and apps good. Had the crab cakes, french onion soup and Caesar Salad (would recommend). Ordered 8 oz and 10 oz filet. 8 oz was over cooked. 10 oz was cooked perfectly. Also had a add on of lobster which was also over cooked. I would go back to try again but would ask them to watch how long the steak and lobster were cooked.

Ocean Prime was amazing! We decided to go for Valentine's Day, and it did not disappoint. We started off with calamari and French onion soup. For our main courses, we had lobster linguine, sushi, and black truffle mac & cheese. The soup was the most flavorful French onion soup I've ever had! The mac was amazing as well. I can't wait to go back; hopefully, it will be just as good!

The food, service and ambiance were amazing. Took a good friend here for birthday dinner. The server was fun and attentive. Was given complimentary carrot cake and it was delicious. Definitely a winner.

not a seafood fan, but the snow crab and lobster was fantastic so maybe i am a seafood fan now

Outstanding night. The food and services were outstanding. Thank you to Avery for his outstanding service. Also would like to thank Bob the Beverage Manager, for stopping by our table to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Love the ambiance on the second floor. Actually would love to give them six stars.

Everything was EVERYTHING! My waitress Liz was very sweet along with the rest of the staff. Everyone greeted us with a hospitable smile and had exceptional service. Let me get into the food- it happened to be Restaurant Week but it wasn't overcrowded and the menu was worth trying. I had the Lobster Bisque that was very rich in taste, they had warm pretzels and bread as well. But the BRANZINO was 11/10! Topped off with a very good Lemon Sorbet. How could I forget... all of the drinks on the cocktail menu could be turned into a mocktail. I haven't been here since my 19th Birthday but if I lived closer, I'd come here on the regular. The ambiance of the dimmed lighting and good music had me sold. Definitely enjoyed my night.
