We had an excellent experience. The food was delicious our waiter Danny was very attentive, and kind. We have visited a few times and sat by the bar area in the past on this visit we sat in the dining room area. I must say the service and the presentation of the food was amazing much better than in the bar area. I can’t understand why this happened but overall the experience has been great. Our favorites the Calamari for appetizers, steaks and lobster mac and cheese- delicious!

One of my absolute favorite seafood places! Top notch service and quality. Things taste fresh and well prepared. The waiters are very knowledgable about the dishes and offer some great recommendations as well. I have been here multiple times and especially for my birthday. the drinks are unique and taste amazing. Even if you aren't a seafood lover, there are many things to try on the menu that will be just as good. I like that the menu does rotate out to keep things fresh and exciting. 10/10.

Dined at this location during a business trip. Rather expansive restaurant with private rooms as well as different sections so the noise level of a packed house does not interfere with the dining experience. Three bar options if you’re waiting for friends to join you or waiting on your table. I must say that the staff are very good! From the Valet who greets, to the multiple host/hostesses at the front desk, they treat you welcomingly and respectfully. Good job in setting the tone! The servers and assistant servers are professional and you notice that they are well-trained on high caliber customer service. Brian, our server, was a consummate professional. Thank you. Let’s not forget the “important” people, the Chefs and those preparing the food “in the back.” The food was delectable. Our party of 5 enjoyed the Chilean Sea Bass, the Sea Scallops and two of the specialty Steaks for dinner. All were mouth-watering. If you’re in the area, I recommend you visit this restaurant. Conducive to either a business dinner or a special date night out.

This was likely the best seafood dinner I have ever eaten! The presentation, to the flavor to the service, lights out fantastic! It's pricey, but OMG it's great! If you have the opportunity to get served by Danny, he was fantastic as well.

We went for a date night on Saturday and had a lovely time. The drinks and food were delicious and well portioned. I ordered the Chilean sea bass which melted in my mouth with each bite. I highly recommend it.

We made reservations for a birthday dinner and were thrilled we did. The food and the service were spectacular. Justin took such good care of us at a high-top in the lounge. We started with a goat cheese ravioli which was delicious and beautifully presented. We had lobster, Florida grouper, and Chilean Sea Bass for our entrees and they did not disappoint. We were celebrating two birthdays and they kindly offered us two free desserts. Carrot cake and Creme Brulee are both a must try. They were simply decadent! I can't go without mentioning the bread; pretzel rolls and a nice crusty, crunchy loaf of sourdough. Yum!!! Pre-dinner cocktails were Berries and Bubbles, Black Orchid and a lovely, refreshing cucumber gimlet were all amazing and fun. I also enjoyed one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had with my dessert. The birthday confetti on the table was a nice touch too. Thank you Ocean Prime and Justin for making our celebration sublime. We'll be back!!
