Definitely keep this place on your place to visit on your special occasion. They don't cheap out on you like some other high class restaurants. The place is a perfect 10 - We had "Dupree" as our waiter and what a top notch gentleman and server! He made our special night out perfect. We didn't hold back and we hit all winners off the menu- there wasn't anything that wasn't spectacular. Our visit here won't be the last. Perfect Lobster, Salads, dessert and drinks. We will definitely put this restaurant on our places to recommend to our friends, family and followers. Another top 10 restaurants in Indy - however this experience would increase that to the top 5!!! Awesome 250$+ for 2

My wife and I came here for a date night and we were not disappointed! It was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent! I thought that I knew what a great steak was until I had it from here! I’ve never had a steak that amazing! Everything was excellent and worth the price!

Hubby brought me here for our 1 yr wedding anniversary dinner. He ordered the cowboy steak and butter...very good. I had the red snapper(layers of flavor on my plate) while I enjoyed my dinner, his steak was cooked to perfection and the taste was on point. The corn was very fresh and so was the shrimp cocktail! The best part of the cheesy jalapeno potatoes was the melted cheese on top. Now when it comes to dessert, no complaints about buttered cake!!! I reheated at home and had some ice cream on the side. I did not want to share lol Also our waiter Gerald (hope I have that correct) was VERY knowledgeable and personable.. We will be back! They also provided rose petals on our table for our Annual! Thank you!

Service was outstanding and everyone very friendly. Restaurant was quite busy and crowded. The calamari appetizer was absolutely phenomenal, highly recommend! The Ocean sushi roll was also very delicious. The entrees were just okay to be honest. Would return to try a different entree dish.

Fantastic all around! Jude was wonderful and Gerald was the best; his suggestion of the blackened snapper was spot on! Will definitely return.

First time, and it won't be my last. I have been wanting to try this place for years and finally was able to celebrate my birthday there. It was a great experience. I recommend coming during happy hours best deal ever. I love that they offer optional water choices, toiletry items in restroom. Ladies get the black orchid drink 5 stars. Ask for Evelyn in the lounge...she was amazing. It's been a long time since I had A1 services from the booking the reservation to checking out!!! Food we uniquely prepared, this is definitely an adulting restaurant Kisses to the Chef. Oh that butter cake my lord........... Thank you for making experience a memorable and special one!

Me and my boyfriend went out for my birthday dinner on new year's eve, and the staff was phenomenal! We were seated quickly after arriving, and we weren't waiting too long for our food to come out. And when I accidentally got some sauce on my dress, our waiter was so lovely to bring over a club soda and cloth for me upon my request! Everyone was pleasant and the food was delicious, will absolutely visit again!

We recently visited Ocean Prime in Indianapolis to celebrate our anniversary, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant came highly recommended, so we called ahead, and they mentioned we didn’t need a reservation since we were nearby. Upon arrival, we were seated at a beautifully decorated table with rose petals and a candle, which set the perfect romantic mood. The ambiance was quiet and elegant, creating a lovely atmosphere for our celebration. The food was absolutely amazing! My husband ordered the lobster with a baked potato, and I had the chicken, which was served with spinach and roasted tomatoes—both were delicious. We also shared the Chop Chop Salad, which the staff kindly split for us, and the mushroom ravioli stuffed with cheese was simply divine. To top it off, I had a non-alcoholic bubbly drink that not only tasted incredible but was also beautifully presented. We also appreciated the Fiji water after requesting no tap or filtered water. To our surprise, our server returned and let us know that the restaurant was offering us a complimentary dessert in honor of our anniversary. We were so touched by the gesture! We couldn’t decide on which dessert to get, and our server even mentioned that since my husband’s birthday was the next day, we could get another complimentary dessert. Though we didn’t take them up on the second offer, we were incredibly thankful for the thoughtful gesture. It made the evening even more special. Our server Heather was excellent, providing attentive and thoughtful service throughout the evening. We were so impressed with the overall experience, and the last-minute recommendation we received while shopping at Castleton Square was spot on. We dressed up for the occasion, and it felt like the perfect place to celebrate. We give Ocean Prime a 10 out of 10 and would gladly return. Highly recommended for a special night out!
