Located
in
Downtown
Denver
on
the
corner

I
valeted
my
car
right
by
Ocean
Prime
on
Larimer
Square
for
$10
with
validation
from
the
restaurant.
We
arrived
at
Ocean
Prime
and
were
seated
at
a
high-top
table
in
the
Lounge.
The
aesthetic
was
high-end
and
sophisticated
with
chestnut
woods
and
dark
blue
uplighting.
Our
server
Elliot
had
great
flair
and
happy
hour
recommendations.
Managers
Chris
and
Nick
ensured
customers
had
everything
they
needed
and
were
well
taken
care
of.
For
cocktails
I
had
the
Black
Orchid
-
only
$8
during
happy
hour
-
made
with
Belvedere
Organic
Blackberry
&
Lemongrass
Infusion,
St.
Germain,
Fresh
Lemon
&
White
Cranberry
Juice.
This
cocktail
is
my
favorite
at
Ocean
Prime.
The
Black
Orchid
came
in
a
martini
glass
with
an
ice
orb
that
held
an
orchid
flower
inside.
The
cocktail
had
aromas
and
flavor
notes
of
blackberry
&
lemon
that
burst
onto
the
palate
with
a
lovely
juicy
sweetness
that
refreshed.
Jaclyn
had
the
Reposado
Paper
Plane
made
with
Casamigos
Reposado,
Aperol,
St.
Germain,
&
Fresh
Lemon
Juice.
The
Reposado
Paper
Plane
was
the
National
Cocktail
Competition
Winner
of
People's
Choice
Awards.
The
Ahi
Tuna
Tartare
was
made
with
Avocado,
Pickled
Ginger,
Sour
Cream,
&
Citrus
Ponzu.
The
Tuna
Tartare
was
an
elegant
raw
appetizer
filled
with
fresh,
light
ingredients.
The
sushi-grade
ahi
tuna
pieces
were
generous
in
size
and
had
a
soft
texture
against
the
satisfying
crunch
of
the
wonton
crisps.
The
Prime
Roll
was
made
with
Tempura
Shrimp,
Cream
Cheese,
Scallion,
&
Beef
Carpaccio.
The
thinly
sliced
beef
carpaccio
sat
atop
the
sushi
roll
and
gave
it
a
savory
flavor.
The
tempura
shrimp
in
the
roll
had
a
delicate
crunch
that
folded
into
the
smooth
cream
cheese.
The
Ocean
Roll
was
made
with
#1
Tuna,
Salmon,
Hamachi,
Avocado,
&
Chili
Garlic
Oil.
The
Ocean
Roll
was
fresh
and
vibrant.
The
hamachi
was
smoothly
luscious.
The
chili
garlic
oil
added
subtle
spice
that
enhanced
the
richness
of
the
tuna,
salmon,
and
hamachi.
The
Sonoma
Goat
Cheese
Ravioli
were
made
with
Golden
Oak
Mushrooms.
The
ravioli
was
wonderful
-
a
richly
flavored
pasta
filled
with
smooth
goat
cheese.
For
our
seafood
main
we
split
the
Teriyaki
Salmon
made
with
Shiitake
Sticky
Rice,
Soy
Butter
Sauce.
This
is
one
of
the
best
salmon
entrees
you
can
find
in
Denver.
The
salmon
was
juicy
and
flakey
and
coated
in
the
bold
&
thick
teriyaki
glaze.
The
sticky
glaze
combined
with
the
soy
butter
sauce
gave
the
salmon
a
perfect
combo
of
sweet
tang.
For
dessert
we
had
the
Warm
Butter
Cake
made
with
Fresh
Berries,
Vanilla
Ice
Cream,
Raspberry
Sauce.
The
cake
was
piping
hot
with
vanilla
ice
cream
melting
atop.
The
crisp
sugar
exterior
gave
way
to
a
densely
buttery
interior
making
for
decadent
gooey
bites
of
the
cake.
