Excellent experience at Ocean Prime. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly prepared -- especially the oysters, hamachi crudo, and nigiri flight. Service by Hector was professional, attentive, and smooth without being intrusive. Great atmosphere, top-quality seafood, and overall a true high-end dining experience in Boston. read more

In my 10 years of living in the United States, this is, without a doubt, the finest service I have ever experienced--truly in a league of its own! What moved me most was not just the food, but the heart behind the service. The moment the server noticed that one of our dishes remained untouched, he gently approached us with genuine concern, asking if everything was to our liking. I explained that after 10 days of traveling, we had simply reached our limit with seafood. Even so, he didn't hesitate. With grace and sincerity, he insisted on removing the dish from our bill, not because we asked, but because he cared! On another occasion, I visited for a business lunch and ordered the sea bass. The server was aware that I only had 30 minutes to dine, and the entire experience was executed with remarkable efficiency--seamless, precise, and without a single unnecessary moment. Every detail was handled with an acute awareness of time, as if each second truly mattered. That level of attentiveness was something I deeply admired! read more

the food was great. succulent and very tender rib-eye steak. Service could not be better, very professional and still personable, making you feel very welcome and relaxed! Ambiance is very dynamic on Friday and Saturday Nights, despite the busyness still calm servers no rushing, and quick food service at the same time! Next time i'm in Boston Seaport i will go back to Ocean Prime for sure. love my medium rare Rib-eye steak with bacon cream spinach on the side! read more

Our waiter & service was fantastic. Food was presented beautifully. Everything was delicious. We started with Tuna Tartare and a selection of warm breads. Our entrees were fabulous. Sea scallops with sweet pea risotto, and rib steak for my husband. It was a wonderful meal! read more

Everything was incredible except my steak, and since that was the main dish, I gave it 3 stars. I would like to shout out our server Frank out, he was so attentive, helpful, and overall made our experience better. What we ordered: -The cocktails: 10/10, expensive but beautiful presentations and tasty, my favorite was berries and bubbles. -Goat cheese ravioli: 10/10, 6 total, very delicious in a lemon cream with peppers and mushrooms -Bread basket: 8/10, pretzels were a little firm but everything tasted great and we loved the butter -Dynamite Roll, 9/10: good size for sharing, felt very fresh -14oz NY Strip *Oscar Style*(boyfriends): 10/10, cooked perfectly, Oscar style comes with Bernadine sauce, asparagus, topped with crab and Hollandaise sauce -16 oz ribeye (mine): 1/10, chewy, overcooked, couldn't appreciate any flavor because it was so painful to chew. -Sides: whipped garlic mash 10/10, Gouda tater tots 6/10 (could have bought these as frozen cheese curds at the grocery store) -Butter cake: 10/10, beautiful presentation, absolutely delicious. read more

We went as a party and had a great experience. The wait staff were friendly and attentive but not overcrowding. Just there at the right moment type of service. I enjoyed the atmosphere there, the private room we were in was cozy with lots of privacy. But even the dinning room during peak time did not feel rushed or loud. The food and drinks were all good. My old fashion was made just right. We had a bunch of apps like the calamari, crab cake, ocean roll, etc. they were all tasty. Their lobster bisque and Snapper were all well made but I probably should have gone with the chowder and the sea bass. Next time. The dessert looked great but not my thing. Overall would highly recommend, will be back for sure. read more

Overall an up scale restaurant that had its good and bad dishes. King crab dish: market price was about $150. For such an expensive dish, it severely disappointed. The crab was dry and overcooked. Flavor was lackluster at best. Came with a few sticks of asparagus and potatoes Lobster bisque: creamy and smooth. However the broth and lobster ratio was not proportionate. At the end I was left with too much broth that tasted a bit too salty without anything to balance it out Crème brûlée: the only dish I'd go back for. Supreme texture and perfect level of sweetness and flavor read more

We were here for a work dinner and the place is beautiful, and the staff was attentive with drink refills and interaction with our fun AF group. The whole restaurant was loud, so it made us have to talk loud at are large table. Lots of echos. The Halibut Special was way overcooked, but the Lobster Gnocchi underneath was sooooo good. Kind of the yin/yang of a seafood dish. I guess for a seafood restaurant, I'd expect the fish to be cooked properly, but the rest of the experience brought this up a star. read more

Prime Roll ($26) - Tempura Shrimp, Cream Cheese, Scallion, Beef Carpaccio Boyfriend: 10/10 * Me: 7.5/10 -- Rich, indulgent, and beautifully balanced. Creamy Clam Chowder ($12 cup) - Littleneck Clams, Smoked Bacon, Oyster Crackers 8/10 -- Needed more bacon flavor and seasoning; wished for more clams, but still better than Legal Seafood. Blackened Snapper ($57) - Corn Spoon Bread, Swiss Chard, Corn Emulsion 8/10 -- First fish was overcooked (they insisted on remaking it), and I'm so glad they did. The second was incredibly moist. The corn spoon bread pairing is unreal, and I usually don't even like snapper. Ahi Tuna ($54) - Mango, Avocado, Cashews, Spicy Sesame Soy Glaze 9/10 -- Fresh and flavorful, but could've used a bit more citrus to brighten it up. Bacon Creamed Spinach ($16) 8/10 -- Very bacon-forward, slightly salty, but delicious. Warm Butter Cake ($20) - Fresh Berries, Vanilla Ice Cream, Raspberry Sauce 7/10 -- Good, but not mind-blowing. Overall: Definitely expensive and a lot overpriced, but the atmosphere is upscale, business-chic, and perfect for a special date night especially if you get a back room. The waitstaff is truly next level: incredibly personable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the guest experience not robotic at all. One of the best service experiences I've had in a long time. read more

One of the best restaurants in seaport. The service and food is always great. I would advise to always make a reservation as they can get very busy. Even if you have a reservation there is always usually a bit of a wait time. For an app I got a Caesar salad and point Judith calamari. Both were amazing! I got the filet and it was cooked perfectly and tender. I got a side of béarnaise sauce and it was good but overpriced for what it was. The warm butter cake was so delicious, melts in your mouth. The restaurant itself is clean and classy. You can't ever go wrong ! read more

Had dinner at Ocean Prime last night with colleagues. Ordered the au Poivre Filet Mignon medium rare with the loaded baked potato. The steak arrived medium well and the potato ice cold. They promptly took back the dishes to address. Everyone finished their meals as mine returned. Temperature this time around was perfect, the sauce not so much. I'm no expert, but the au Poivre didn't seem prepared right. Service was great, meal was disappointing especially at that price point. They did comp my meal though. read more

Ocean Prime absolutely delivered a birthday dinner to remember. From the moment I walked in, the dim elegant lighting and soft music created an inviting, luxurious ambiance. The restrooms were spotless before the meal, and that little detail made me feel like every part of the experience was thoughtfully considered. To start, we dived into the bread basket, warm Parker House loaf, crackers, pretzel bread, all served with whipped butter. The mix of textures and comforting warmth was the perfect opening to the meal. I also indulged in their Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, served with sweet and sour slaw and horseradish mustard aioli, which was a lovely balance of richness and tang. Then came the mains: My Blackened Snapper came plated beautifully with corn spoon bread, Swiss chard, and corn emulsion. My husband's Teriyaki Salmon was superbly paired with shiitake sticky rice and soy butter sauce. On the side, we had the Mac and Cheese, made with whole Maine lobster and Tillamook cheddar, creamy, indulgent, and decadently rich. We also enjoyed a side of Roasted Brussels Sprouts that were crisp, flavorful, and perfectly done. For drinks, I chose the mocktail version of Berries and Bubbles. It was gorgeous, refreshing, and full of flavor, a perfect surprise for someone who does not drink. Usually I feel like I am missing out when skipping alcohol, but not this time. The service was the crown jewel of the evening: attentive, warm, not annoying, and truly aimed at making the night flawless. Every moment felt intentional and elegant. All in all, the evening was a feast for the senses, with beautiful ambiance, thoughtful touches, and exquisite food. It was one of the best birthday dinners I could have asked for. If you want a spot that makes you feel treated, seen, and celebrated, Ocean Prime is it. read more

Came for Dine Out Boston, a good deal. Cushy place with good service. I enjoyed the French onion soup, pairing well with the complimentary bread basket.

Lisssssssten here. We all love ocean prime, no question. However, as a girl who has tried every seafood dish on their menu - this blackened snapper reigns supreme! In fact, I went back 2 weekends in a row just to confirm. The corn emulsion is so savory. The fish? Cooked to perfection. Light, airy, seasoned.. I mean, come on. The spoon cornbread underneath is delightful when it comes to adding texture. (I did modify the veggies b/c I wanted Brussels) -- and it's a hit! Last time I went, I also got the teriyaki salmon and it was divine. I loveeeeeed the sticky rice, salmon was cooked so nicely, and the sauce was the star. You can't leave without the warm butter cake. It's melt in your mouth delicious... like something your grandma would make. (I'd get the core cream on the side) to ensure the cake stays warm! As for the service, wonderful. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. 12/10. read more

10/10 would recommend. This place is great for an elevated date night or celebration. We started off with the lobster bisque which was delicious and had nice chunks of lobster. For dinner I had the 10oz filet and added on shrimp scampi which were huge and cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious! I'm still thinking about this meal days later. read more

Read as 3.5 stars. This was my second visit to Ocean Prime, many years later. Great spot for accommodating large crowds and offers what you would expect of a steakhouse. Drinks were excellent and I can see myself stopping by for drinks next time (bar area was packed when we walked in and when we left). Ordered crab cake, dynamite roll, lobster linguine and chilean sea bass. Food was good, portions generous, but I was not wowed for the steeper price point, especially since seaport has so many great restaurants. The dynamite roll would be something I would skip next time around. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Unexpectedly LOVE this chain restaurant!! I've been here 3 times so far and every single time it's been impressive. It's located in Seaport and there are a lot of cute places to walk around after dinner. Their complimentary hot pretzel bread to start is my favorite. Next up, I have to get the lobster bisque every time. It really is a great deal since it comes with a few good chunks of lobster. I also love their crab cake as an appetizer. For the main course, you can't go wrong with the filet mignon or the twin tail lobsters. Portions are pretty big so I'd recommend sharing! Finally to finish off the meal, I like the creme brulee. Warm butter cake is also good for those with a sweet tooth. However, it was horrendous trying to find street parking. Valet is really expensive here as well so I would plan to uber next time. read more

Had a slightly disappointing experience here - the food didn't quite live up to expectations. The Wagyu steak (the manhattan) was expensive but cooked inconsistently, relatively small, and not particularly great texturally. The ahi tuna and crab cake were good, but the Hamachi crudo was overwhelmed by some chilli powder. Service was nice and had no issues, but the restaurant was fairly loud (due to being very busy with diners, groups having drinks, and what looked to be small events groups. read more

such an amazing meal!!! The calamari was a must!! It was so saucy, though I wish it was still a little crispier. The French onion soup was good but nothing amazing. Twice baked potato and jalapeño au gratin were great choices for the sides, I loved how cheesy everything was. Espresso martini was also divine. The New York strip was good, but a little bland I wish I got an additional size. Also they gave us a cute little pound cake for our anniversary which was super sweet and appreciated:) overall would definitely come back but we were bursting at the seams after read more

Ocean Prime Never Misses -- Best Drinks, Best Team Ocean Prime is one of my go-to spots, and it's always a 10/10. The drinks? Flawless. Whether I'm sipping on a signature cocktail or trying something new, the bar team never lets me down -- consistently well-balanced, creative, and just downright delicious. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. Leo, Jess, Billy, Enrique, Tori, Amanda, and Christina are the dream team. Their service is always above and beyond -- attentive and genuinely fun. They remember your name, your drink, your vibe -- and they bring their A game every time. If you're looking for the full package -- top-tier drinks and top-tier people -- Ocean Prime is it. Grateful to have a spot like this (and a team like them) to come back to again and again. read more

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not typically a fan of chain restaurants, but Ocean Prime's prime (pun intended) location in Boston makes it hard to resist stopping in from time to time. While the upscale, polished vibe feels a bit more corporate than personal, the draw for me is simple: the oysters. Their oysters are consistently fresh and expertly shucked. Very easy to get my quick seafood fix. read more

Ocean Prime is a (very) solid choice for steak and seafood in the Boston Seaport district. I was in the area recently for work and wanted something good but easy (convenient location, good reputation, a "nice place" (tastefully decorated but not over the top). I'm not a big fan of chains, but that said, Ocean Prime fit the bill the particular night. I dined at the bar and the bar tenders were attentive and friendly. I had an oyster appetizer and, strangely -- because I came for seafood -- a Petite Fillet Mignon (medium rare). As expected, everything was great and if I ever find myself in similar circumstances I'd be very happy to dine here again -- chain restaurant or not. read more

Staff is the best thing this restaurant has to offer. The food is alright but the service is better. We were walking but they accepted us right away. Gave us some nice seating in this booth area, where I said I was able to see the whole restaurant and that was pretty cool while eating. The food was really good I had brussels sprouts, the surf and turf filet mignon and lobster. I'm using not a fan of lobster tails but oh man that was really good. And the staff was amazing I wish I would have wrote this sooner so I didn't forget the gentleman's name. But amazing staff all the way around, I feel like they are the ones that are making that place. read more

The ambiance upon entering the restaurant is quite impressive. Upon arrival, you are guided to your seat through the bar area and the corridor. The restaurant boasts multiple dining rooms, including one for main dining, a spacious room for special events, and an area for smaller groups with a view of the main street. Our server, Amy, was excellent and very professional. Her knowledge of the menu was constructive, as we had several questions. To start, we ordered calamari and the dynamite roll for our appetizers, both of which were fantastic. I wouldn't mind having appetizers all day long. For the main course, I chose the 8oz filet mignon with a side of mushrooms and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. While the mushrooms were a bit salty for my taste, everything else was amazing! read more

Had a wonderful dinner the other night. Food was great, service was excellent. Unfortunately the valet parking attendant smoked in my brand new car, and it stinks. I left a message and was told a manager would call me back, but I didn't hear back. That detracted from my experience, but I'd still go back, I just won't use their parking service.

The service and the decor / ambiance was phenomenal. I loved the elegance of the place and the location. Our service was top notch always right there and available. The food was good. I would not say amazing but it was good. We had oysters from the raw bar. We had lobster mac and cheese and lobster bisque as well as the scallops. Everything is pretty pricey for what you get. The lobster mac and cheese was $45 for example. And it was good but it wasn't blow me away type of food. The scallops were not that great but some people may love them. Just not a fan of the texture of how they were cooked and i love scallops. The risotto was a mushroom risotto and it was delicious. (They were paired with it) Overall 4 out of 5. Because it is a great experience and the drinks are delicious too! read more

Salmon had no flavor. Brussels sprouts were over cooked. Cream corn was more like candy corn - too sweet. The only really good item was the barolo wine, but one doesn't need to come here to get that. Maybe the other signature mains are good. read more

Holiday lunch was very disappointing. Our waiter had way too many tables to service my party of 4 properly. Shrimp cocktail and tuna tartare were very good, but served simultaneously with our main courses. Also, we were not told that main menu was available for lunch, which would have opened up better options. I only realized that when I saw what other people were eating. Incorrect food came out for one in my party and another was given a substitute dish without first asking. It was comped, but very strange thing to do. Then the server got in the weeds and we never really saw him again and ran out of time for dessert and coffee. read more

Great mix of steak and sushi. I love both. Amazing bar ambience. The bartenders were top-tier. They knew exactly what they were doing and they never let anyone down. They made amazing drinks.

BAYBEEEEEEE! THAT CRAB CAKEEEE!! Wooooooo! 10000/10! Take all of my money! This was my first time here and I was not disappointed! We were celebrating my December sisterfriends birthdays at the end of December so you know the drinks and food were flowing! The restaurant decor was very upscale, including a beautiful wine cellar, where many patrons took pictures. The servers were very friendly, yet a bit slower than we preferred. We ordered the oysters, Sonoma goat cheese ravioli, ocean roll, crab cakes (which our server first forgot when the rest of the apps came out), broccoli, lobster linguine, filet mignon, and wagyu filet. THE CRAB CAKE WAS THE STAR FOR ME! It may have been the best I've had in MA. My friends said the oysters were fresh, the roll was a fav of theirs, and they loved the goat cheese ravioli! The lobster linguine was also delicious, so much so, I've thought about it at least 1-2 times a week since. My friends said the steaks couldn't been better because they were a little tough. The Black Orchid (cocktail) and Cucumber Gimlet were also very good and strong! Will definitely be back! read more

Made a reservation for restaurant week after checking out their menu. I was looking forward to a relaxing evening. The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding. I enjoyed the bread basket and a salad before my entree. Been awhile since I had a steak. It was cooked perfectly. The carrot cake dessert was very good if you like carrot cake like I do. I also enjoyed some wine. My waiter was friendly and professional. It felt like a special occasion but it wasn't. The only disappointment was the behavior of some of the other diners- overly loud and running around. Inappropriate behavior that interrupted my experience. Obviously not the restaurant's fault but dampened the mood. Hard to avoid unless you dine at home. read more
