    The taste was fresh however. If the portions could match the prices it would be complete. We came as a group so our server “David” seem not to care as much since he was getting mandatory gratuity. I felt we got the minimum service required and that made eating a 8 once steak for $60 not taste so good then a mandatory $20 tip (per ticket). I would not recommend it unless you want to feel big throwing away money. I was very very unimpressed. $180 per couple on average so you can enjoy better NOT as a group. Truth is I was hungry for more food but $17 for 3 small shrimp. lol get realistic people!!

    From our welcome at the door upon entry to the thank you on our way out the door, plus everything in between was way wonderful! Service was on spot. Food was beautiful and delicious. The Berries and Bubbles cocktail was one of the best balanced cocktails I believe I have had as far as restaurant specialty drinks. It was not too dry, not too sweet, not too strong and not too weak. Perfection! The Surf and Turf appetizer, Braised Short Ribs and scallops were delightfully flavorful and I highly recommend. My husband got the sea bass and I got lobster tails, plus we both shared the jalapeno augratin potatoes. The potatoes do have a little zing but not overbearing. Both were decent portions and simply delicious. We opted out of desserts; not because they didn't look and sound decedent, but just because we try to skip the extra sugar. I am sure we will return soon as we really enjoyed everything about our evening out at Ocean Prime!

    It was a great meal! Everything was fantastic! My tuna was delicious! Our server was on top of our party of 9 and everything was correct and came out in a timely manner. Desserts were so good, but I was extremely full and could only eat half of my peanut butter pie!

    Festive food. Classy and romantic atmosphere. I had the crab cakes meal. Super delicious and good sized portion. Expensive of course but it's fine dining not an average, casual restaurant. You gotta experience it once in a while.

    Went to dinner for a retirement celebration and had a wonderful time. I can't speak highly enough about our server Maddie. She was wonderful and took care of us all night! The food was all very good. I did feel like the risotto that was served with the scallops was slightly undercooked but that was just a minor complaint. This isn't our everyday weekend style resataraunt but it's a great atmosphere for special occasions and we will return.

    Best restaurant in Indiana I have ever been to! Yes the food is amazing, appetizers, sushi, steak and dessert were all perfect and to die for. However it was the service and staff that made this SO amazing! We celebrated our 5 year anniversary and 5 different staff members said happy anniversary to us that were not even our waiters. They are super attentive and on top of everything! Tammi is amazing and the entire staff was just exceptional! Perfect perfect perfect!

    Went here with my husband for our anniversary and everything about it was perfect. The food was outstanding, the service was great, and atmosphere was cozy and romantic. You pay a pretty penny for everything but it's absolutely worth it! The drinks were yummy too! We will be going back!

    Revised great as always. Drove done a hour for dinner and it did not disappoint. Everything was excellent and CJ was awesome. Revised Very Good. We love trying new places. We drove little over hour to try here. Well worth the drive and we will be back. Anna F was amazing. If you come ask for her she will take great care of you.

    The food was alright. The lobster linguini came out overcooked, so we sent it back. They gave us a free shrimp cocktail, and the second iteration of linguini was good. Filet mignon was slightly overcooked for medium rare, but great otherwise. Our server Sarah was incredible. She had great insight into the food. The atmosphere was great as well.

    Came here for our anniversary date and we were not let down! Very good service, food, and drinks. They even made the night special with rose pedals on the table. I highly recommend the sushi

    Came here with my grandparents for my 16th birthday. First time, they had been before. I think it was awesome the staff were extremely nice and made really good sweet tea just for me! I’d recommend this place to seafood lovers looking for a more fancy option of dining. Sushi is also amazing.

    Myself and the wife were there a few days ago celebrating her birthday. The front end host were really nice, the atmosphere was also really nice. Our waiter was nice, he told her happy birthday when he first came over, but over the course of the evening seemed more interested in his other tables. For whatever reason the kitchen made mistakes on most of our food. The lamb was under cooked the steak over cooked and the Brussels tasted burnt. The wife's birthday dessert wasn't on the house, though we heard the table ahead of us say theirs was. Wasn't our best experience overall.

  • 5/5 Ilana P. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience. We were celebrating our anniversary and daughter's 18th birthday. We were greeted by the hostess, and sat at a beautiful table decorated with rose petals and a long stemmed rose. Our waiter was very attentive. The oysters were very good, we tried both east and west coast. The calamari was the only dish I wasn't crazy about. The flavor was good, but it was a bit mushy and not crisp. Probably from the veggie topping. The desserts were also very good. We did not feel rushed. Manager checked in to make sure everything was good. It was everything I hoped it would be. We will be back again.

    Best lobster bisque I’ve ever had, and the miso-roasted broccoli was a great side. Attentive staff, good atmosphere. 4/5 stars only because I felt the menu was a little small. The truffle deviled eggs were a unique and tasty experience.

    First Ocean Prime experience. Dinner with friends to celebrate a birthday. Food was excellent! I enjoyed the French onion soup and the Branzino. The celery root puree was the perfect pairing with the fish. Dessert was the warm butter cake, it was warm and gooey deliciousness! The staff was fabulous! Our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the evening fun. ( I feel terrible that I don't recall her name, but she has beautiful curly hair! two dogs, one named Gravy;) Fun night! Highly recommend!

    Welcoming, warm, friendly, and make you feel at home. I cannot say enough good things about the staff here. It's always a great experience when you have one great encounter, but when you have three or four it is memorable. Cannot be more appreciative of Dakota and Evelyn behind the bar, and Blake our server. Great suggestions, friendly conversation, and top notch service. Favorite thing was by far the Spicy Tuna roll, recommended by Blake. I apologize for not getting a picture, but this is a must try dish. I also had the Florida Grouper. Fish was fresh, no fishy taste at all (hard to do in Indiana), and was cooked perfectly. Light and flaky. The unsung hero though was the gnocchi. Subtle, pillowy, and soaks up all the flavor into a tiny little flavor bomb. I didn't care for the addition of the peas, and wasn't all that excited about the lobster. I think the peas took away from the flavor and the lobster was just there. I also felt like it was missing something. For my flavors, I think I would have preferred it over some light greens instead of the soupy broth. The broth was fantastic though, full of flavor. My wife got a 10 oz filet, and the temp was spot on. Maybe a tad more seasoning and would have been perfect. We also shared sides of mashed potatoes and upon Blake's recommendations the corn. Corn was my second favorite dish of the night. Perfect crisp bite of the kernel, and the seasoning and flavor were perfect. Mashed potatoes were silky and smooth, with deliciously crisp roasted garlic chips. My wife wasn't a huge fan of them like I was, and that was largely due to their bitterness which I loved. Overall, we had a great experience. Great recommendations, really good food, and a friendly staff starting in the front, all the way to the bar, and at the table. Lastly, just a beautiful restaurant as well.

    My daughter had her birthday dinner at Ocean Prime, the staff was truly amazing and patient dealing with teens who needed extra attention. The food was amazing as well. Best kids menu I’ve ever seen

    I came here for my birthday and everything was GREAT! Christian was kind and attentive, the customer service was excellent. The food was AMAZING, so was the atmosphere. I was a little sad my takeout was accidentally thrown out, otherwise an overall great experience.

  • 4/5 Bridge The G. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my 2nd time eating here. Understand the food is quality and has amazing presentation but those prices are a bit high. I've had better for lesser but the atmosphere is astounding too. The truffle popcorn at the bar is addictive. The Ahi Tuna Tartare is delicious and fresh. The accompaniment to the chicken is superb. The chicken itself was juicy but lacked flavor. The creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were ok. The pork chop was juicy but again had little to no flavor. Overall, I would eat there again but it will definitely be a special occasion.

  • 5/5 Sifei H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great night with family to have a dinner here. All food are great and fresh. Waiter is professional and the manager constantly checking us if we satisfied their food and answered questions.

  • 5/5 Mercedes 1 year ago on Google
    This place is exceptional every time I have been. The service is always fabulous and the food is wonderful. This particular trip we had the calamari appetizer, goat cheese ravioli, Wagyu filet, smoking seafood tower, and warm butter cake for dessert. Also, the Moscow mule and berries and bubbly drinks are amazing.

  • 5/5 J C. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything from the greeting at the door to food being served was top notch. Definitely worth the money. When the occasion calls for such a fine dining experience this is where i am coming.

  • 5/5 Erin Nysewander T. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was great. The scallops were perfect and the carrot cake was just the right combination of icing and sponge. I would highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Nicole T. 2 years ago on Google
    Celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary!! Dinner and service was great!!! We received free champagne and dessert for our celebration!! Nice portions. Stomach was definitely hurting because we ate too much!!

  • 5/5 Demetrius R. 2 years ago on Google
    First time dining here was a beautiful experience and service, only beaten by the quality and freshness of our meal. I had a really fun cocktail called Berries and Bubbles, definitely recommend it. We had the Prime Sushi Roll, Lobster bisque, and the Chilean Sea Bass, and each dish was pretty to look at and even better to eat.
