I just had the pleasure of dining at Ocean Prime, and I must say that our experience was elevated by our wonderful waitress, Casey. From the moment we were seated, Casey greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm for the menu. Her knowledge of the dishes was impressive; she provided insightful recommendations that perfectly matched our tastes. We were particularly impressed with her attention to detail, as she made sure our drinks were never empty and checked in at just the right moments without being intrusive. Casey's friendly demeanor and professionalism made our dining experience truly memorable. She was attentive and ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect. It's clear that she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about her guests. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Ocean Prime and requesting Casey as your waitress. Her exceptional service truly enhances the dining experience, and I look forward to returning soon!

We all ordered egg dishes and they tasted very good. 1 of the 4 orders came out incorrectly. The coffee was served lukewarm. It's a very nice place. Service is slow even when it is not crowded at all. We did not complain. I would return
