- DDestinyOrlando / Central Florida East •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOur waiter Juan was above and Beyond! We came in to celebrate two Sweet 16 Bdays at 9:30 pm, and had 1 late arrival to our party after closing time (10pm) and the staff and Juan were More than accommodating, which we were truly grateful for considering the special occasion and that we aren't locals to Tampa. The service was wonderfully attentive and warm and personal, and Juan was so knowledgeable and descriptive that ordering was fun and easy. (Our 1st time eating here). Best service we've experienced in quite awhile. The food was very flavorful, and had great options for those in our family who dont prefer seafood. The coffee and desserts were delectable as well. We ordered the Dynamite Sushi, Truffle Mac, Twice Baked Potato, Chicken, Ten Layer Carrot Cake , Creme Brulee, etc. Everything was fresh, and delightful! We will be back and have found a new gem to add to our family favorites.More infoOcean Prime - TampaPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Tampa•4.8
