Ocean Prime

Visited tonight and boy, they didn’t disappoint. It’s still Restaurant Week here in Chicago, so I ordered off that menu. My beverage of choice was the Berries and Bubbles, an excellent cocktail with a perfect balance of alcohol and fruity taste. I ordered two. For starters, I had the Caesar Salad, which was good. My entree of choice was the Teriyaki Salmon, cooked medium well just how I liked it. The teriyaki sauce was excellent. To top it off for dessert, I had the five-layer carrot cake. The only thing I didn’t like was the truffle popcorn, which was complimentary. Everything else was 🔥🔥🔥. I hate that I waited so long to come here. The servers were on point as well. I think my server’s name was Adam.

I love my experience at Ocean Prime! The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly. The interior is much larger than I anticipated. They offer complimentary truffle popcorn once seated. I started with the surf n’ turf and hamachi crudo. Both were stellar, but the crudo stood out for me as my favorite dish of the meal. 10/10. I also tried the Take Two, a strawberry cocktail, whic h was crisp and refreshing. After that I enjoyed the Sakura Wagyu cheeseburger and the tempura lobster sticks. Both were much heavier than the first round and I did not finish either, but still pretty good. Dessert was a decadent raspberry sorbet with an almond cookie. Divine. Overall the happy hour was filling and flavorful. I’ll be back. Mary and Mario were friendly and attentive to my allergies

Ocean Prime is an exceptional restaurant with a warm and inviting ambiance. The food was outstanding, and the service truly elevated the experience. Our waiter was attentive, professional, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Beautiful restaurant inside at a great location. Valet was very friendly though it was crowded coming in on arrival. Great wine selection and professional wait staff. Some parts were not as refined as other restaurants that I have been too for 5 star restaurant. Food quality was great but not the best for the price. But the restaurant interior is one of the best I ever saw. Perfect spot to impress a date. The high rating of this place is well deserved.

We have dined at several Ocean Prime locations and I’m happy to report that the Chicago location was just as delicious. We dined for an early happy hour (4pm on a Monday) and were delighted with the specific happy hour menu. They had a large selection of some of our favorite dishes to choose from. For Happy hour, signature cocktails are also $5 off and they also offer select white and red wine for $8 per glass. I highly recommend the sushi - our favorite is the Ocean Prime roll. I also really enjoy the braised short rib as well. We walked right in without a reservation, but by the time we left it was quite busy.
