    Elegant interior, cozy booths, attentive service and top notch seafood - perfect for a special occasion. Extremely high quality and fresh seafood. The oysters were divine. I also loved the lobster bisque. Scallops and crab cakes were perfectly cooked, very tender and juicy. The cocktails were delicious and addictive. The presentation and quality is worth the price tag.

    Very good food and a buzzing, hip atmosphere. The place was full on a Tuesday night. I had a blackened snapper- delicious. Cocktails are good as well. My friend recommended buttercream cake for dessert and it was huge, good for sharing. Our server (don’t know his name) was great.

    I had an amazing meal here last week. Service and food was outstanding. We ordered oysters, sushi, lobster tail, salmon, steaks, and carrot cake. If you like bourbon, the Manhattan was one of the best I’ve ever had. If I was to ask for anything, I would have liked to see little more selection of sushi options, they seemed bit too western style. But otherwise wonderful menu options.

    I loved it. It’s easy to get to, amazing food and a fun atmosphere. This would be the perfect first date choice. It’s quiet enough for conversation but active enough to keep it light. Fun well crafted cocktails start it off and it just gets better. Having eaten at almost every restaurant in the Seaport I would say Ocean Prime is my number one choice. Everything just hit perfectly. From the service to the food it’s on par with any other high end chain anywhere. I’d had a few experiences here and I keep going back. If I’m doubt choose Ocean Prime you’ll be glad you did

    Last night my husband and I made reservations at Ocean Prime Boston to welcome his friends from Shanghai to Boston. The restaurant is located in the modern Boston Seaport and there is valet parking for a fee given parking in the Boston Seaport is challenging. We were greeted upon entering and offered early seating. I had the Black Orchid for a cocktail and it was an impressive presentation! The oysters were nice, but they were not as fresh or tasty as expected. The Chilean Bass was absolutely fabulous with a nice truffle sauce. The desserts we chose were the Butter Cake and Chocolate cake both were a perfect ending to our meal. Our server was very nice and had a great personality. He was very busy, but he did his best to offer suggestions and to assist us. Highly recommend for a special evening out!

    A fancy place with multiple waiters or waitresses to serve. I ordered Poke bowl, did not know that it is a kind of Hawaii dish so it is cold. It is good though. But I will try something hot next time. My friend ordered prime burger and he said it is pretty good. The service is good, again. They have some table feels in a half private room.

    Would you like to have breakfast at 2pm? All day breakfast! Foods were good, but not great. Everyone seemed to be drinking, but I just had water. There were two bars. I would sit in the inner bar area on a sofa if I came with a large group or family. The outer bar area was great to look outside and had nice breezes. I found parking on the street but it could be hard for dinner. Residential parking permit only area from 6pm onward on weekdays.

    They offer many good plates to choose from and the staff is very friendly. I enjoyed eating here and visiting this place. They are handicapped accessible and eager to help. The plates we had were very tasty and nice portions offered. Give it it try and tell them you saw my review!

    I have come to really love this place. At first, I was worried that the menu was so limited but the food is always excellent, the atmosphere beautiful, and the service friendly. The group Moscow mule was amazing and the paella was delicious!! Also started with a couple pizzettas which are never a bad choice!! Definitely check it out!!

    A+ to the service, food and atmosphere. It was our first time here so we weren’t sure what to expect but we had a great time. We went on a weekday but it was still pretty busy so I would definitely still put in a reservation if you plan on dining here. For dessert we ordered the 10-Layer carrot cake and it was perfect. P.S The cake was on the house because it was my wife’s birthday :) Thank you Ocean Prime!

    The experience here raised the bar for what I considered to be a nice night out. Service and food were unmatched. I ordered a prime rib Oscar style while the missus opted for crab stuffed lobster tails. The pictures don’t begin to convey how satisfying each bite was. Our server recommended the warm butter cake for dessert and trusting her on that was as good a decision as deciding to go out for dinner at all. Even if you don’t come back often, you’ll remember the experience fondly.

    This place was absolutely incredible! I can't tell you which dish I enjoyed the most since everything we ordered was so good. The Berry and Bubbles is a must! The staff were very nice and helpful since we ran into a small issue with our reservation thankfully everything worked out.

    Came here for my birthday dinner with a group of 7. Service, food, drinks all outstanding and made for a really great night! Valet for $22 was clutch! Had sushi and the scallops dish with risotto. Amazing. Had the berry martini that bubbles with dry ice just to be extra fancy. Delicious! Birthday desert plate incredible too. That carrot cake 🙌 Failed to take photos of the food, but trust me it’s worth it! Our server was excellent. Will be back!

    The food here was incredible! The deviled eggs were the best I've ever had! Crab cake was delicious & abundant amount of crab. The cod was delicious as well, a little extra gnocchi would have made it even better. The wagyu steak was nicely prepared (4oz in pic), side of asparagus. The drinks & dessert were tasty as well. It's a great atmosphere & staff was attentive!

    The food and drinks were great!!! Even more so the service, both Eugene and Abby were excelent at taking care of us, these 2 should be giving a masterclass in how to take of customers, as a lot places miss handling their talent well. with both style and charm both delivered a great night of going out!!

    Oysters didn’t come with any mignonette, most of the Oyster liquid had been lost during shucking! #sadface they did taste good (but that was the work of the Oysters!) Ordered the Sushi which was on the small side (size of roll), flavors were good. Ginger used is cheap and so came in super large pieces and it was very thick (had to cut it with a knife and fork!) Finally, the AC is cranked up a bit much inside, I sat at the bar and had goose bumps! This experience was So So. There are MANY better places for sea food in the area.

    I returned to Ocean Prime after a previous visit where I enjoyed their scallop with rice, and it was exceptional. This time, I made a reservation to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. The taste was consistently delicious. The server wished him a happy birthday and surprised us with a birthday dessert. When my boyfriend spilled his cocktail, the server offered a quick refill. A fantastic experience overall, and we'll definitely be back.

    We were there for a Birthday celebration. The service was outstanding and the food is just delectable. The Crab Cake appetizer and the Goat Cheese ravioli, paired with the Lobster Bisque was just phenomenal. And for the main course the Striped Bass (special), along with the Branzino was just sensational. Both fish were succulent and every bite was a flaky delight. The accompanying sauces and the presentation was nothing short of superb, and the wrap up course with the amazing Birthday dessert made for a very memorable evening. The ambiance and the vibe is for something special, and you might very well feel it when there.

    We were here for an anniversary dinner, we put that as a note on our last minute reservation. The food was amazing! It was rich, luscious and decadent. I ordered the Sonoma goat cheese ravioli and my husband ordered the crab cakes for our apps. For our mains I ordered the snapper which was dry and was oddly paired with a sweet corn sauce underneath. I wasn't a fan. However, we received complimentary desserts for our celebration. The only other downside was where we were seated we were so close to other diners we were basically IN their conversations...totally distracting.

  • 4/5 Silas C. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic food. Would not expect a steak to be that good at a seafood restaurant. The lobster linguine was flavorful, with very good pasta. Although, it did not seem like a twin lobster, more so just a single lobster. Service was good, a little slow, but good. Cocktails were great as well, but not a lot of options. Definitely a great place to go to.

    Met a friend for a drink at Ocean Prime. I've been to the NYC location many times. This was my first visit to the Boston location. The great menu is pretty much the same at both locations, and like New York, this restaurant is beautiful inside. While I only had drinks, the service was fantastic. You can't go wrong with an Ocean Prime!

    I was very pleasantly surprised at this place. The seafood is very good. I know a lot of the reviews talk about how good the seafood is so I was trying to compensate for the over expectation but the seafood is really good. We didn’t book in advance and were just looking for a good seafood restaurant. They do state they have an attire policy which doesn’t really allow for casual clothing so we were worried they would turn us away. They still seated us and the service was very good. It has a great atmosphere as well.

    Great place all around. The short rib appetizer is amazing!!!!!! It is melt in your mouth full of juicy goodness. It was seasoned well and just delicious. I was however disappointed with the scallops because they werent seasoned. The service was good. We didn't have dessert.

  • 5/5 Kenya B. 3 years ago on Google
    Honestly, I was skeptical about the place because I thought it was going to be just another one of those places that attracted people because of the name and it's location. I'm glad I was totally wrong. The ambience was very good. Whether it's a romantic date night or out with friends it can cater to any crowd. The staff are genuinely friendly, professional and helpful. The food? Unbelievable! I'm serious. I've eaten at a couple places similar to this and you're paying for either the name, location or food presentation. With Ocean Prime, you're paying for all of that plus the food is excellent. I won't bother boring you with my selection because everyone's tastes are different but you definitely won't be disappointed if you venture out and decide to dine at Ocean Prime. Hope this helps.

  • 5/5 Baaba M. 3 years ago on Google
    We were late for our reservation, but we called in and they were able to easily switch the time for us. We were welcomed nicely and our waiter was great! We loved the service and menu options. Initially we wanted lamb, but they didn’t have any, so we chose something else, and it wasn’t disappointing. The food was sooo good. Even my 2 year old toddler was able to enjoy his meal, which barely happens. We’ll definitely go back soon!

  • 5/5 Anne N. 3 years ago on Google
    As soon as we arrived the staff was very welcoming. The ambiance was great; our reservation was on the early side (5:30pm) but regardless, it was pretty busy. There was a live band at the front of the restaurant where the bar is located. Over all it's a 5 star restaurant. The staff, the food and ambiance; top notch.

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is an excellent dining experience. Food, service, selection, ambiance, and atmosphere. Have dined here on multiple occasions for personal and business affairs. Have never been disappointed. It's not for budget consumers, but if you want an upscale dining experience, look no further.

    This is an extremely romantic place. We went when the sun was setting. They have an amazing view of the sun setting on the water. My date loved her food, and my pasta was cooked perfectly. I will say that the chicken was a little dry, but beyond that the food and service was amazing!

  • 5/5 Krista L. 3 years ago on Google
    All I can say is Wow! Dined here a few weekends ago with some friends and everything from the service to food was impeccable. We were celebrating an engagement and our server made sure we felt special. The steaks were delicious (the best I've had in Boston) along with all the sides. Can't wait to return.

  • 4/5 Ryan L. 3 years ago on Google
    Ocean prime is always great, the food is awesome and the service usually is. Our waitress assumed I wanted a $32 glass of wine where I would’ve just bought a bottle for that price. I wanted a $16 glass of wine, but she assumed the double pour. Covid has brought tough times, and I tip well, but she also decided to stand over me as I tipped. I felt very uncomfortable and I didn’t like her service you don’t assume what I want you ask, “would you like the half pour or full pour”. That’s what a good waitress does, not what our waitress did, and I was extremely disappointed. Usually the staff is excellent and professional, but tonight it was below the standard of Ocean Prime and unfortunately she knows what she did because I asked when the bill came and neglected to tell me until then. The managerial staff can look up my reservation and see who I have, but it was the worst experience I’ve had at ocean prime and I choose to dine here over other steakhouses in the area. Hopefully for the next patron something like this is clarified when ordering, rather than assumed.

    Food is great, atmosphere is fantastic. Service is on point. The only thing I didnt like was the way you're treated up front. We had reservations. They made us wait 20 mins . Told us to stand there like cattle until we are called upon. And the ladies didn't have the best manners . Unfortunate for that to be the first thing you experience when you walk in. For sure they need new hostesses.

  • 4/5 Logos777productions 3 years ago on Google
    Ocean Prime has the best and perhaps the priceist French Onion Soup. It is delicious! The appetizers are exciting and worth every penny. However, their steaks were not that great, and the prices are too expensive for a tasteless steak. I also didn't like the $8 upcharge for having a baked potato or fries as a side. The atmosphere is great but it is overpriced.

  • 5/5 Michael P. 3 years ago on Google
    Three of us came in for a celebration / business meeting. We had appetizers (oysters, tuna sushi and calamari). All aspects of the meal were fresh and prepared very well. Served by a team of highly skilled, personable and customer centric staff. Entres included Filet Mignon, Pork Chops and Lamb Chops with sides of Jalapeno Au Gratin and Grilled Brussel Sprouts. Desserts after Mocha Espresso Martinis were Peanut Butter Torte and Creme Brulee. The only feedback would be that the filet was a little past medium rare and the lamb was tougher than expected. The entire experience was excellent and we each hope to come back with our families. Thank you

    From start to finish our meal was amazing! Tina was a fantastic server and we waited and wanted for nothing. The Sous Chef James set us up beautifully with appetizers suggestions as well as entrées. The crab cake was to die for... and the 20oz bone in Rib Eye with truffle butter was the best I've ever had, and thats coming from a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Ocean Prime is a must when in Boston! 7 stars would be more fitting!

    Good tasty food and warm ambiance at Publico. From the staged fires to the inside outside feel and excentric decor to the side but still concise menu, Public will please.

    Enjoyed a great dinner here! The atmosphere was really fun. We had the empanadas and tuna crudo tacos for appetizers and both were great. For my entree, I had the pork loin. The pork had really great flavor. It came with a large portion of sweet potatoes- I wish it had been a more balanced plate (more brussel sprouts as mentioned on the menu), but it was still good.

  • 4/5 Jim M. 3 years ago on Google

    Went to Publico for New Years Eve. The bartender on the first floor tried to serve me a drink that I saw someone unknown to me drink out of. When the night ended I noticed that same bartender overcharged me by adding on several drinks to my tab. Needles to say that will be my last time at Publico.

    Food, service , cocktails were good. It's a bit loud so hard to have a conversation. Parking: Limited parking and primarily around permitted parking, but I lucked out since it was Sunday so free parking found 2 blocks away. Food that I would skip: I would skip the tacos as these were just ok. (We tried both fish) I would order again: Empenadas , Ceviche, octopus and paella were all solid.

    Celebrated two Sisters Birthday’s! We couldn’t decide what to order. So the server suggested surf&turf meals 4 entrees each halved. It was perfect. The atmosphere, food and service were all great. I love the views on Seaport Blvd.

    Excellent service and food. Pricey and smaller portions for a restaurant of this caliber. Food tasted amazing the cod, and scallops. The risotto tasted off to me. Lacked flavor although cooked well. The lobster mac n cheese was ok, very little lobster.

    Hands down the best Manhattan around! If you love oysters they have West coast oysters which are my absolute favorite and hard to find! The bar is super cozy and the employees are very attentive. A must visit in the seaport district!!

    Food was fresh and great! I ordered the cod and it was one of the best cod I've ever tasted. It's cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I couldn't care less for the gnocchi in there, it's a little heavy comparing to the light and hearty taste of the dish, wish they would replace it with something else. The lamb was bigger than I thought so we ended up taking 1 chop home. Definitely go with medium on the lamb, it was tender and cooked nicely.

    You can never go wrong with Ocean Prime and it's wonderful service. From the appetizers to its main course we enjoy every bit. Andrew made sure we had the best experience. Great work OP...

    Simply amazing, might be the best Filet I have ever had! Everything was hit, fresh and flavorful! The bread was fantastic, not sure if it is freshly made or not but it tasted like it was, mini pretzel rolls and crusty small bread loaf, hot and yummy. Tuna tartar was out-of this world good! My wife got the Chilean Sea Bass, very tasty, she finished it and she doesn't usually do that! I had the Filet, No Sauce!! If a steak is seasoned right and cooked correctly then you don't need any sauce, the steak provides it's own juices and let me tell you, this steak was On Point! Little bit of a crust on the outside, likely from the 1,200° cook they give it... then perfectly cooked interior that melted in your mouth after it kicked you in the taste buds with the flavor!!! The Whipped potatoes were airy and light and the Brussel sprouts were seasoned and cooked to perfection and had a little bit of cooked onion with them, delicious! Then we had the Butter cake for dessert, HELLO!!! This thing was magical and the vanilla ice cream on the top was the perfect accompaniment to this dessert! They have an extensive wine list that will please anyone and they have some higher end "wines by the glass" incase you have an advanced palate but don't want to drink a whole bottle. Service was awesome from the hostess to our waiter who had tried everything on the menu and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in describing the dishes. This is my new favorite place!! Can't wait to go back!
