definitely expensive drinks are well made and food is good. service was great pricey but it is a steakhouse. I ordered the filet which although i said medium well seemed to be cooked well done. The food took a little long but my friends and i were so deep into convo that we hadnt realized until we finished our first drinks and the waitress asked if we wanted another drink. My friend just told her ummm how about the food. the sides were to share which were decent size and protion. i would suggest if you come here make sure you have patience. Also try to pay cash because i was double charged. Aside from that it was a good dinner i enjoyed myself
New addition to the NYC steak scene doesn't disappoint. Great renovation of the old school Ben Benson space. But the sleekness of the spot isn't all there is because they're turning out flavorful cuts of beef, lead off by great starters here.
This place has tough competition as Mastro's Steakhouse is on the other side of the street. I need to come back here for the steak but the seafood here was great!
Came here on a whim after being turned away at 2 club for 'athletic looking clothing' (leggings and boots with a jacket is athletic now?! whatever) anyway, walking away we were hungry, cold and looking for ANYTHING and literally walked across the street and into Ocean Prime. So glad we did!
We were seated right away and someone came and took drink orders. We were a group of three, and ended up with 2 soups and a salad as appetizer. The french onion soup was huge, enough to share, but a bit skimpy on the cheese for the $13 price tag. The house salad looked good, no complaints there.
The two men shared the 24oz porterhouse special and mashed potatoes and I got the grouper. It was a really generous serving of fish in a light lemon butter sauce with gnocchi (which was handmade) and pieces of lobster. I ate very small bites as I wanted to savor as long as possible! I got a bite of the porter and it was also very well cooked, tender and perfect temperature. The mashed potatoes were eh, nothing spectacular.
We only ordered vanilla ice cream for dessert, but it melted as we waited to be brought a spoon. It wasn't anything great, not Haagen Daz (which for the price, I expected) but tasted more like Breyers. I get it, it's vanilla ice cream what did we expect, but something creamier rather than icy. Oh well.
Overall, service was ok, our waitress didnt seem to listen to well (i asked to recommendations between the salmon and the grouper….she recommended the filet mignon. Someone else asked for recommendation between the french onion soup and the lobster bisque….she recommended the tuna tartar. that kinda thing.)
Overall it was a great meal. Worth the price tag? Probably not to be honest, I've had better for cheaper.
Amazing service. Amazing atmosphere. Amazing food. From start to finish, we enjoyed dinning here. Cannot go wrong if your in the mood for surf, turf, or both. Our server Ryan was very knowledgeable and friendly. The staff all worked as a team and where extremely hospitable.
Big fan of Ocean prime. Eat at them all across the country. Love the fish and the steaks. So far have never had a bad meal. Very good wine selection. Staff very good. made a few suggestions on specials and recommendations.
I am a total fan of this place ! I was here when Holly Holms was eating dinner here after her Rousey fight but that is not why I like it 🙂
I always have a nice time when I come here. The service and drinks are great, they have a great bourbon cocktail.
We ordered a dozen oysters, the truffle deviled eggs, the rib eye and creamed spinach. The deviled eggs were awesome, they were delicious. The oysters were delicious, really fresh and different variety.
For dessert we split the baked Alaska, it was the best thing I ate all week.
Sitting at the bar is pretty good too, you can enjoy your meal and watch the game on a Football night. Def check it out.
My fiance and I went here last night for restaurant week. Even though we had a reservation for 7:15, we weren't seated until 7:30, which surprised us considering the room we were seated in was only half full. So we sat at the bar and ordered a drink. My fiance had a glass of the Malbec, Terrazas de los Andes, Reserva, Mendoza, Argentina, 2012 and I had the Merlot, Sterling, "Vintner's Collection," Central Coast, California, 2013 – both were excellent.
Once we were seated, she had the lobster bisque and I had the french onion soup. Both were good, but we thought the french onion was better as the lobster bisque barely had any lobster in it. We each had the 6 oz filet mignon as our main course. It was amazing and I inhaled mine, however, I think they were very cheap with the portions, and I honestly think the filet was really 4-5 oz instead, which really annoyed us. This is why I cannot rate this place 5 stars.
For dessert, we each had the 5 layer carrot cake which was delicious and really hit the spot. It was very rich and had this amazing pineapple glaze. Also, I forgot to mention how once we were seated, I ordered a Kentucky Rose. This was definitely one of the best mixed drinks I've ever had. My fiance ordered whichever Cabernet was on the restaurant week menu for $12. This was quite possibly the worst glass of wine we each have ever had. It felt like crumbling up $12 and throwing it down the toilet.
Anyway, this place is definitely worth trying and will be satisfying. Just avoid whichever wine is on the restaurant week menu.
