Because I wasn't too hungry the food filled me up pretty quickly but it was a bit unfortunate that the short rib taco comes with just one single taco and not two, even though the one taco was pretty hefty! One of my friends got a tortilla soup kind of stew dish -- forgot the name-- and that definitely would be something I would recommend instead and goes well with the tortilla chips. The restaurant definitely had some Mexican influence in its interior design but I'm not sure why they put us in a corner especially since it felt hotter there especially since it seemed their A/C broke down! I think it's a worthwhile place to come back again but maybe in a larger group setting.

Sat at a high top, was busy but our waitress was an epic failure. Ordered two margaritas as it was on special. Got sweet corn and two happy hour tacos. The corn came fast enough was great as always. Tacos came almost 45' later, had to wave the waitress down for more beans and it took two times before it came. The food was so long in coming we thought hard about just leaving... just a few more minutes - 45' for two tacos ? Manager did come by to ask how things were and felt bad for our more than 45' wait said he'd take 25 off the bill, he came around again said he'd take 50 off, that was a surprise and we declined till we saw the bill. Look at the bill!!!No discount for happy hour, two new items we never ordered, yeah a discount but ended up paying for what we ordered for happy hour and margarita day discount. What a failure of service and cluster from this waitress. Can't figure if she just added more items and charges us full price or the manager thought we were that stupid.. thinking the waitress was that stupid and she thought we wouldn't notice ?

Pretty awful restaurant with little positive to say about my experience…read more Here for a work dinner - began with a terrible server who spilled water on the table and had an overly aggressive response to her own accident ! Service was awful throughout with us having to ask where several drinks were and finally request that our orders were taken! Food was not great - we tried the 'truffle l' quesadillas only none of us could detect any truffle taste! Chips and guac / salsas were good , queso was mediocre and I tried the watermelon and tomato gazpacho which was served far too warm. It should be cold but this was luke warm and lacking any substance! Pretty mediocre restaurant that o would not bother returning too

Last time I had the coconut, but this one included a traditional citrus margarita and a watermelon one as well. I still think that the coconut one is the best. The chips and queso were phenomenal again. The service was great and I love sitting outside. There was a Persian wedding on the lawn and although I couldn't see it, I could hear the music and the beautiful formal dresses and suits of the attendees. The next morning, I got the strawberry pancake pancakes and they were absolutely delicious. Maybe the best pancakes I've ever eaten in my life! I also got a green juice which was delicious and I was ready to have a great day.

We've always enjoyed North Italia, so we decided to go back to the Kierland location.While the food…read morewas mostly just as good, the overall atmosphere didn't quite match the Gilbert restaurant. The biggest difference was the ambiance. The music was so loud that it made conversation at our table difficult, and the tables were placed very close together, making the dining room feel a bit cramped. It lacked the relaxed, inviting vibe we've come to expect from the Gilbert location. We started with the Cacio e Pepe Arancini, and it was every bit as delicious as we remembered. Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and full of flavor, it's still one of our favorite appetizers. We also shared the Little Gem Caesar Salad, which had just the right amount of dressing and was fresh, crisp, and satisfying. For my entrée, I ordered the Shrimp Scampi, which was delicious with perfectly cooked shrimp and great flavor. Around the table we also tried the Agnolotti Pomodori, which was very enjoyable, and the Spicy Rigatoni, another solid choice with just the right amount of heat. Dessert was the only real disappointment. We finished with the Banana Caramel Butter Cake, but unfortunately it was quite dry and didn't live up to the rest of the meal. Although this location didn't have the same atmosphere as Gilbert, the kitchen still delivered several excellent dishes. I'd happily return for the arancini and pasta, but I hope they turn the music down a bit and give diners a little more breathing room between tables so the overall experience is as enjoyable as the food.

Try the sandwich!!!!! I know it's a sandwich right? Lunch time thing.....no. these sandwiches aren't out of this world. We had the Morty and meatball sub (secret off menu, you're welcome). I don't even know how to begin other than it's wonderful ingredients, damaged between bread that can only be described as something between fry bread and focaccia. And the sauces....pistachio butter!?!? Get outta here. The cocktail program is just as wonderful. They have some great savory drinks and some really cool remixes of old fashioned (literally they're take on our own. Fashion is something I've never had before). They even let us try and off the menu drink which was like a liquid summer caprese. Amazing. The service was incredible. So nice, so helpful. So happy that we enjoyed our meals. Even the music is on point like literally the ambience is fabulous. This place is a diamond in the rough. Don't sleep on this one though. I think they're going to get really busy really quickly. Worth the drive 100 out of 10.

We decided to split the Meatball (a new addition on the menu just this week) and the Italian Grinder (one of our fave's) and it was worth it. We knew we would take the other halves home for a dinner snack, so we had a less overloaded lunch today. Casey again was our server, and he saw use getting seated and brought over a bottle of their sparkling wine (they do a deal for $20 or $25) which we enjoy, as we got it last time also. The bottle overflowed significantly on opening so there was a bit of loss unfortunately - however, Casey came back later during our lunch when we had finally finished the bottle and topped us off from the lost portion of the previous bottle - a very kind gesture and certainly was not expected. But he said he wanted to do right. A good man right there. The food as usual, was fantastic - service is exceptional and the ambiance very good - def not a loud place, but certainly has the potential, as there are glass windows behind the bar area so if you have loud talkers at the bar, it bounces back at you - most noticeable if you're sitting at the community table in the middle - the booths are much more protected further back. We have sat at the same seats at the community bar each time we have been there, but it's pretty good and the noise isn't generally a concern - might be later in the evening/night when there is a fuller bar area - we usually are there for a mid-afternoon lunch so it's not so bad. Do yourself a favour and also try the Desert Bloom cocktail - its very good! So, until next time!

The manager was even helpful to inquire of what I was thinking of ordering then took my order once I was ready. While waiting I munched on the chips and salsa. The salsa was amazing. Flavors were on point. I never ordered biscuits with sausage gravy, but reading the ingredients on the menu sounded so good. I ordered the spicy chicken biscuits with sausage gravy and I was not disappointed. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a light batter and not too spicy. The sausage gravy was so savory and full of flavor. The biscuits were light and fluffy. Everything tasted so good together. Brunch Entrees come with a drink for $17. Either a mimosa, house margarita, or beer. I opted for the house margarita which was your basic house margarita. This was a really good deal. The portion of food was just right. The inside is beautifully decorated and same with the outside patio. There is plenty of seating outside with some picnic games too. I'll be back for Taco Tuesday!

I really want to see this neighborhood restaurant do well. The interior and décor are beautiful,…read moreand the service was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. I was dining alone, so I ordered the Adobada from the specials section. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the lovely atmosphere. The tortillas and beans were good, and the pork had nice flavor, but some of the meat was a little gamey and dry. The rice was the biggest challenge--it was somehow crunchy and mushy at the same time! The texture was very inconsistent. I'm sharing this with kindness because I genuinely want this local restaurant to succeed. Good food speaks louder than anything, and I think the restaurant has a lot of potential. I'll definitely come back and try something simpler next time. I'm rooting for you!

My wife and I celebrated my birthday with dinner here and we had an absolute wonderful experience…read more It was our first time dining here but it definitely will not be our last. The service was top tier. I wish customer service like this existed everywhere. Hannah was outstanding. She was welcoming, attentive, and helped make our night even more enjoyable. She didn't linger but somehow always knew when to check back on us as soon as we needed something. We're always weary of trying out a new restaurant for the first time but dinner was spectacular. Everything we ordered was so delicious and cooked to delectable perfection. High compliments to the chef! Appetizer: Warm Bread Basket - A must have! The bread was so scrumptious that it doesn't even need the delicious whipped butter. But the butter was so amazing it was hard not to smother every morsel of bread with it. Fantastic appetizer option. Entrees: 1/2lb Dutch Harbor King Crab Legs - Served with perfectly cooked asparagus, potatoes, and the usual side of melted butter. My wife said the butter that the crab is cooked in/served with was so phenomenal that she didn't have the need to dip into the side butter. I chose this restaurant because my wife loves crab legs and these absolutely delivered. The meat was sweet and succulent, and most importantly, they tasted fresh! Filet Mignon (8oz) - Delicious and perfectly seasoned! Exactly cooked how my wife ordered it and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Willow Bend Lamb - I can't rave enough about how exquisite this was. I was worried the chops were going to be too large but the portion size was spot on to my liking. The roasted garlic thyme jus it's served with is rich, savory, and a great compliment to the tender and juicy chop. I would order this again and again. Sides: Parmesan Truffle Fries and Smoked Gouda Tater Tots - It's hard to mess up a potato but somehow Ocean Prime was able to make it even more delicious. The fries had a perfect balance of crisp and tender, and the parmesan truffle flavor was the cherry on top. Wonderful aftertaste and surprisingly pairs well with crab legs. The tots had a perfect crisp exterior and a fluffy inside. The offerings are generous so 1 side would suffice for 2 people. Every bite was scrumptious and a definite recommend for the table. Cocktails: My wife also had the Berries & Bubbles cocktail. Well, it was so yummy that she had 2 of them. I had a sip and although I'm not a vodka fan, I can attest that it was indeed yummy. The dry ice is a nice touch and adds to the beauty and appeal of this drink. The drink is poured at the table (Hannah is clearly a pro at it). It was like a dinner and a show! Dessert: We were offered to choose a dessert on-the-house to celebrate my birthday. We ordered the Warm Butter Cake for the table and a Chocolate Torte to go. Hannah was kind enough to comp both of them for us! The Warm Butter Cake was AMAZING! From the delicious ice cream served on top to the gooey buttery velvety center of the cake with a perfectly crisped edge, it was everything you'd want in a dessert and more. I'm sure it's the star of the dessert menu. I've yet to make it to the torte but I've no doubt I'll be swimming in chocolatey goodness when I do. Lastly, I had flowers delivered to the restaurant to surprise my wife, and I asked if they would please have them set at the table prior to our arrival. They were able to receive the delivery before opening time and were placed perfectly in the middle of our table (booth seating). I'm so grateful for how they accommodated my request and helped me execute a wonderful surprise that gained a beautiful smile from my wife. 10/10 experience. Five stars all across the board. Worth every dollar spent. I highly recommend Ocean Prime for any and all events, or if you're simply just looking for a delicious meal.

We chose Ocean Prime for our Father's Day dinner and left with mixed feelings…read more The food was hit or miss. The Caesar salad was very good, and the crab cake was excellent--easily the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the scallops were disappointing, arriving cold and noticeably tough. On the positive side, the carrot cake was outstanding and a great way to end the evening. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet during our early dinner reservation, so we expected attentive service. Instead, the service was slow and inattentive throughout the meal, which was disappointing given the restaurant's reputation and pricing. Overall, there were some bright spots, but the inconsistent food quality and poor service made for an underwhelming Father's Day experience.
