   Our 2nd visit to Ocean Prime and the entire experience was phenomenal. By far one of the best restaurants in SRQ!

   From the welcoming to the dessert, we had a wonderful evening. I decided to dine inside instead of the patio and they accommodated us and seated us in just a few minutes. Our server, Maria is excellent!! She anticipated everything we needed and made our experience very special. The food was outstanding! Cannot wait to return!

   We celebrated our anniversary at Ocean Prime, and it was exquisite! The host team gave us a champagne toast which was a nice touch. The food and service were phenomenal! The Ocean Roll was the best sushi roll we have ever had. We will definitely return!

   Beautiful space. Very loud. Couldn’t hear waiter. A little pricey but I guess that’s the price you pay for the beautiful space. I had the Piedmontese steak which was the special and it was good, not great. It was presented as the best filet available. Mushroom sauce was a heavy and hid the true flavor of the $90 filet. $28 for 4 shrimp in shrimp cocktail was silly but again, beautiful space. Worth the visit but bring earplugs and a thick wallet.

   Beautiful restaurant!! Food is really, really good! Service is excellent!!! It’s very loud and difficult to have a conversation. A bit annoyed that I have to pay for parking. Also very overpriced. Would love to frequent this restaurant more often but prices r astronomical and makes this experience less enjoyable. Would recommend for a special occasion

   We had a great experience overall—excellent food as always, and the staff were kind and professional. However, I do have a question about the dress code. My date wore a very fashionable, well-tailored suit vest with no shirt sleeves underneath—completely on-trend and elegant. We were aware of the dress code, and while staff politely asked him to wear a jacket, we couldn't help but notice that several women were dining in halter tops, spaghetti straps, and completely bare shoulders and backs. It left us wondering: is the dress code stricter for men than for women when it comes to bare arms? It seems inconsistent, especially considering there were men in the same room wearing workout tees and printed, casual beach shirts. My date’s outfit was far more stylish, polished, and put-together than many others. Shouldn't the dress code apply equally to everyone, regardless of gender? Just a thought—we truly enjoyed the night, but this stood out.

    It was our 49th anniversary and they greeted us with Champaign and live rose petals on our table. Everyone wished us a happy anniversary. They went out of their way to make our evening special. Thanks Ocean Prime!
