I ate at Ocean Prime on a weeknight at a table of 3. After ordering drinks we started off with an off the menu appetizer: cold steamed snow crab legs. Something was just not right with those things. All three of us were not impressed, and we did not eat more than one each. The drink I ordered was the... More

I have eaten here before but this time was just drinks in the lounge, this is by far the best people watching in tampa, from the 20 somethings women walking in with their 50 somethings men, and the young girls at the bar waiting for those old business men to buy them drinks. Its quite amusing, drink your drinks slowly... More

The ambience was nice. The service was average attentive but not very informed. While nothing was glaringly wrong each of the dishes was off and not consistent with the high price. For our meal we ordered the scallops with parmesan risotto. The scallops while done appropriately were cold and two in number. The risotto was somewhat gluey and was very... More

Had dinner here with a party of 7 to celebrate a special occasion, and can't say enough good things about our waiter Adam, and the other staff as well. Our requested champagne was chilling, the teens in the group were offered virgin bubbles & berries drinks (yes, they played with the dry ice), and my young son was brought colored... More

Went to Ocean Prime for a birthday dinner. Walked in with out reservations and was told inside was full but out side over looking the water has open tables. It was a nice day out so after asking what every one else wanted to do a member of our party said " it's your birthday you choose". So we went... More

We go to fine dining restaurants often, but I believe this restaurant was a bit higher priced for what you received. The strip steak was not as large as Sand Pearl, Ruth Chris or Capital Grill's Steak and my husband had the two lobster tails and they were very small for $48. And that did not include any veggies. Side... More

I have only been to this location 3 times, so we are still developing our opinion. So far, it has been great! One visit, was for our anniversary and we have a awesome time. Food was great and service was excellent! Good wine list and a nice menu with great steaks and some fine seafood. Located just outside I-mall, this... More

Yes, you will love this place. The only reason I don't rank it higher is because I know of 5 restaurants in the country that are better, but this does make my TOP 10 in the USA at #10. Fantastic selections, and actually #2 in the country for best cocktails. Only Chelsea's Kitchen in Phoenix beats them there. Be ready... More

We've been to Ocean Prime many times for special dinners with the family. It remains at the top of the list! My Mom and Dad took us out to celebrate something special and we all had an exquisite meal. The crab cocktail is always a favorite with the dry ice presentation but my Mom really enjoyed the shrimp cocktail as... More

We only have one complaint here. There are so many great choices on their menu it makes it almost impossible to choose! The Ahi Tuna Tartar w/avocado and ginger ponzu is something I crave, it's so good. So many great choices. The colossal shrimp sauté in Tabasco cream too. All the steaks are perfection too. Delicious. Beautiful presentation. Immaculate service.... More
