Prefacing this by saying this was a presentation dinner so not sure how the usual business is. The ambience was nice, dark with yellow lighting so very chill vibe. Service was great, waiter courteous and wine glass was quickly refilled each time. The food however was kind of average, maybe I just had too high expectations? The lobster bisque was actually pretty good, very creamy and decent chunks of lobster meat. The main entree was so so. The steak was cooked to medium rare as requested but the steak sauce that came with it was kind of all over the place flavor wise, like it was trying too hard to achieve many different flavors but kind of fell flat. The potatoes were meh, nothing special, low key kinda tasted like boxed mash potatoes. The green beans were kind of bland too read more

This would probably be my favorite destination for drinks, but I've never had the opportunity to sit down, relax and enjoy myself whilst here. I'm very disappointed with the inconsistencies of this place. I have gone on three separate occasions and have been three different "rules" that made me feel as if my business wasn't wanted. Occasion 1: Two weeks ago, me and my boyfriend arrived to Prime and were seated almost immediately inside. It took around 5 minutes to be greeted by our server, who first welcomed us and asked us if we needed a few minutes deciding. When he came back, we were told that there was a dress code and I, dressed in shorts, was not up to par. We left immediately. --Now let me elaborate, I am a heavily tattooed person. My artwork was not done by my " friends-cousins-boyfriend " if you catch my drift. I'm not a roll-out-of-bed-and-leave-the-house person either. I also very rarely wear shorts and short sleeves but hey, NE is humid and hot and often calls for it, so I'm not sure what they would say to any other person wearing shorts and a blouse on a hot day. Occasion 2: We stopped by one week ago to see if our experience would be any different from the last time and to grab a drink in a place that wasn't so crowded. The exterior seating area was open and had few open tables. We were told by the hostess that it would be an hour to two hour wait, the place didn't seem to be bustling but who am I to say if I don't work there. We left immediately without being seated. Occasion 3: *And last occasion I might add* We showed up yesterday afternoon, around 3pm, after walking off our Chinatown dinner. It was an 85 degree day, very humid and the wind was warm. With all other restaurants forming a line, we made the choice to go to Ocean Prime again, because hey let bygones be bygones, right? Now yesterday was peculiar for us. We were seated immediately outside and our server asked us if we were visiting from anywhere. I recently moved to Boston and let her know I was from Texas but that my bf has lived here his whole life. She took our drink order and all seemed well. We were happy to be sitting down and finally getting our drinks. Ten minutes goes by and our server comes back, sans drinks, to tell us that we are not allowed to order drinks on the patio without also ordering food. I was immediately disappointed. Needless to say we left. I get "tourist traps" and how businesses tell people these "minimum tab" rules and other weird "house rules" to them, but we're not tourists nor do we appreciate how tourists are treated by greedy owners. I expect a business this upscale to be consistent - If tattoos aren't allowed, tell me. If we need to show up in dresses and a blazer, tell me. - I'll handle the truth so much better than feeling unwelcome and confused with the odd "rules" I've been told thus far. read more

My friend and I came in after our massage to grab lunch and it was the best decision we made! To start, our server Levi extremely informative, friendly and professional! He went through the whole menu and told us what was most popular. We started off with some wine (prosecco and Pinot noir) and chose the prime lunch which was a coursed meal for only 25$ per person!! For our appetizer we had the calamari and salad. Both extremely fresh with a burst of flavor. I was so surprised at the portion because I expected it to be smaller! By the time we got our entree we were already stuffed! We had the 6oz filet and teriyaki salmon as our entree. Even though I was about to explode from so much food, I tried to eat as much of it as possible because it was so delicious! The filet was cooked to perfection and came over the creamiest and tastiest mashed potatoes! By the time desserts came out I was finished. I had one bite and gave out. For $25 to get all this food?! I highly recommend it! And the service was impeccable! Everyone needs to come here now and ask for Levi! I'll definitely be back! read more

Ocean Prime - Wine and complimentary drinks, yum! - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I was originally going to rate this place a 2 star because there was a waiter who was extremely rude to us. Thankfully he ended up not being our waiter and we got a phenomenal guy who apologized for the inconvenience. I do want to note that if you call in they will possibly "lie" about the wait time because they told me it was an over an hour wait but when we walked in it took less than 5 minutes with no reservation for a table. We ordered the Miso Black Cod and the Lobster Tail and it was somewhat underwhelming. The lobster tail they wanted to add a twist to it by adding a sauce to supplement it but there was way too much corn in the sauce and took away from that original lobster tail taste. The miso black cod was just average and nothing to the point where I was amazed at it. I did hear that the Chilean sea bass was good so maybe I have to come in again and try but but overall it was just an ok experience. read more

We went to Ocean Prime to celebrate my husband's birthday! His words "best birthday dinner EVER"! The food was delicious and our server Yvonne - I can't even begin to tell you how WONDERFUL she was, we keep coming back just to have her serve us! Thank you for a great meal and a perfect evening! read more

Great service and they crush it with their seafood. Steak is always perfect. I could eat here everynight.

Best filet I ever had! The truffle Mac and cheese was fantastic. The truffle was an accent to the dish and didn't overpower the taste of the cheese. read more

Overpriced for average food. Staff rushed our dining experience by removing my plate while I was still having a bite. I ordered scallops and pasta. My plate literally had 4 scallops for 60$. Massive ball of ice took up most of alcoholic beverage. read more

I have been to this location several times and have had a pretty good experience every time. I dined there on 06/07/2023 and my experience was the exact opposite. This was very disappointing because it was supposed to be a celebration. We had a reservation and were sat next to the patio door which was open pretty much every 10 seconds. The walkway was allowed to be blocked which resulted in constant bumping into my seats . Bread was asked for multiple times but it was never received. Our server was not very attentive to OUR table . After almost a hour and 15 minutes our food came out . Warm and one plate was cold and had to be sent back . This experience continued the entire time and it may have been rectified had a manager been in the area . I won't condemn them because of this one experience but with the cost of the meal it should always be a good experience. EVERY TIME! read more

Phenomenal food + exceptional service +black napkins = 5 stars! It was a dinner with friends from work (10 people). We ordered a lot of different appetizers and dishes. All food arrived in the timely manner and perfect temperature. All my friends enjoy their meal and all stated the same "The best meal ever". The total bill was at $900 which is reasonable considering we had all had drinks and steak with lobster. If I go back to Boston I will definitely return to Ocean Prime. read more

I used to be completely obsessed with this restaurant, but my recent experience has left me in a state of disdain. I've been celebrating my birthday here for the past 4 years because I truly loved everything about this restaurant. The ambience is remarkable to me and something to admire, but this year, I left a little broken hearted. I reserved my table per usual online and called to ensure that I'd be seated in a specific section as I do yearly while booking and was assured that everything would remain the same and not to worry. I arrived to the restaurant mortified to find out that my guests weren't seated and were dispersed around the restaurant/ parking lot due to the fact that I've yet arrived. Once I did arrive, I was told that I couldn't be seated until everyone in my party was present. This was news to me being that I've been dining here for the past four years and this has never happened as I'm always the first to arrive and seated immediately with no issues. I was visibly upset. Not only should that not matter being that regardless, the table is reserved for me at a specific time and so my guests should've been seated, technically it's my table. After 20 minutes, I was seated after downsizing my party to this ridiculous new rule that was only applied to me. I noticed while being seated that there were several people joining a table that was already seated and had time to order drinks but were at a table. I then asked the waitress why I had to wait but that party didn't and was told they had a reservation, guess there's was held at a higher value. I immediately felt the level of discrimination that was not obvious to me before. I was so embarrassed to have to have subjected my family to this kind of treatment. After literally holding back tears of shame, I was seated in the middle of the restaurant which removed the level of intimacy I requested and was promised. A couple of minutes passed and a manager approached me to inform me that I would've never been guaranteed a specific section of the restaurant being that there was a convention who reserved their placement months in advance, however while booking, this wasn't disclosed to me. The manager I confirmed my reservation was so adamant about my seating that he joked that "it's a Monday, you'll practically have the entire restaurant to yourself". To say that I'll never dine here again is an understatement. The food is great, but the level of service I received was horrific, especially on my birthday. My waiter, per usual was phenomenal, but the feeling of not being welcomed was definitely present and I'm okay with celebrating at a restaurant who welcomes my business read more

Went with a big group. Deff get the calamari. Wait staff was awesome. Very accommodating. Lobster tail on point. Steak good too. Jalapeño Augratin was great. Will be back. Nick read more

We came here based on a friend's recommendation to celebrate my father's birthday. The ambiance was nice, however the place is over crowded and very noisy. You can't have a conversation with the person next to you unless you yell. The food was ok, but nothing special. One of the items that we ordered was a Rib eye steak, it was terrible, way over salted and it couldn't be eaten. Overall, the experience was ok, but not enough to come back. read more

Good food, ambiance and even music. Service started off shaky but the manager made for some corrections to get things in order. All of the flavors accented each dish. Pleasant surprise of how well everything was, especially since it was a special occasion. read more

I'm SOO glad my friends invited me out here on Friday night. I absolutely loved this place, even though it was raining dead cats and bleeding dogs (cold fall rain always dampens my mood). Ambiance was comfortable, fun Friday cheese, meaning that every guy with a line and brag topic of the week was there chatting up the hen clusters of ladies with engagement ring rocks the size of morning hard snot in the desert. It's always fun to see how guys try to charm an obviously taken lady into having a "last chance at fun" before they are permanently spoken for. I love the live music, but the place could really learn a few lessons in sound design. Every time the small group played, no matter where you stood in the restaurant, and no matter how gently seductive the song, you seriously had to start screaming just to be heard. Not fun when you're trying to talk up the adorable waitress, and trying to impress her with a yacht you borrowed from a friend, yet are trying to claim is your own, and offering her a tour of the kitchen, and... oh look, see how SOFT the bed is, which just happens to be on the way to said kitchen.... My food review is limited, as I only had the small filet mignon au poivre, and the red snapper. Both were spectacular.... eSPECIALly the red snapper (like.... omg I have to get it at least 3 more times next week). I can't wait to sample other menu items as I slowly adopt Ocean Prime as my new office. The espresso martinis were excellent (not uber fancy or over-decorated). I should know, I had 5, and never got tired of them. Plus, the ladies seemed to improve with each sip, and I was more tolerant of the regular guy in our group that spit talks so much you need windshield wipers. Love this place and look forward to more visits! read more

Decided to visit Ocean Prime on 08JAN2017 and was not disappointed. Was looking for a nice play to take my s/o after I got her from the airport, and we both loved it. Parking: Though you could probably find street parking around the area, it was freezing that night (~10 degrees Fahrenheit) and so we opted for the valet parking. Valets were very friendly, and the system is setup in such a way that you receive a text message with a link and can pay the $18 fee online or in cash when you retrieve your car. To retrieve your car, you just present the valet with the code from the link and wait inside. Service: The service was excellent. We came in knowing that we wanted a bottle of Rose we saw on the online menu, but there were some not listed online and our server took the time to go through each one, describing the different flavor profiles of each and what they would pair well with. He of course offered his recommendation as well, and we were not disappointed in selecting it. Though a little socially awkward at times, our server was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Beginning: You can expect a basket of fresh baked bread and soft pretzels that are lightly sea-salted. Alongside these, you will receive a small condiment cup of whipped butter. The bread was AMAZING. Entree: Awesome. The Surf and Turf special ($55 / person) gave each of us an 8oz cut of filet mignon, and a selection from different "surfs" and sides. I had my filet cooked medium-rare, and it was so soft, juicy, and flavorful that I was left wanting more. The seasoning on the filet quieted my normal desire to request a side sauce to go along with my steak. It was perfect the way it came out. For my surf, I got the crab cake, my s/o got the sea scallops. The crab cake was flaky and flavorful, and not laced with large amounts of breading like some places do. Id say it was no less than 90% crab. The scallops were quite large and very juicy, and the added seasonings complemented the scallops natural flavor perfectly. For my side, I got steamed broccoli (I'm boring), while my s/o got creamed spinach. The spinach had a nice buttery flavor and was quite soft. Dessert: We opted to get the creme brûlée along with glasses of the 30 year and 40 year old Taylor Tawny Ports. Trust me when I say they don't skimp you with the creme brûlée. I have been to places where $10 gets you a pathetic little dish of it, whereas Ocean Prime gives you a generous portion. The caramelized sugar crust cracked nice and evenly with a spoon and the custard inside was smooth and creamy. Up there with some of the best I have had. The port wines were great as well. I am an avid port wine drinker. I have had Taylor's 30 year Tawny before but never the 40 year. For $18 and $22 respectively, I figured why not. The 30 year is right around the sweet spot for port wines. If you like your ports sweet, this is probably around the oldest you can get before it starts to take on the more woody characteristics of the 40 year old. My s/o ended up drinking this one because the 40 year was just not for her. The 40 year stole my heart. I am a scotch drinker, and the deep woody characteristics present in the 40 year, along with the raisiny sweetness characteristic of Tawny Ports blew me away completely. If you like scotch and other woody drinks, this will definitely impress. Overall great experience. Would come back. Minus 1 star merely for the fact that there was a straight 15 minutes where we had no idea where our server was and we were ready to order. read more

Went here with colleagues and ate in the lounge area. First, the restaurant was very accommodating. We were going to miss our initial reservation time so I called and they graciously extended our reservation to a later time. Food and service were excellent. Truffled popcorn on the table was a nice touch to snack on which we ordered drinks. Colleagues enjoyed steak and fish and I ordered the ahi tuna entree which was excellent- perfectly cooked rare with a spicy Asian sauce. Central location and packed on a Tuesday night. read more

I think this place deserves a good rating because personally I think not only was the food good but the service was very nice. I also think that the steak I ordered was excellently cooked and had very little fat. In my opinion I thought the chocolate cake was very sweet and it wasn't my favorite but still not bad. I would really recommend Ocean Prime to everyone. read more

Really nice food. I came here while on a work trip and had an assortment of shareable items with my coworkers. This included the cocktail shrimp, and a variety of sushi including the prime roll, dynamite roll, and tuna roll. I also had the clam chowder. Everything tasted pretty great, though nothing truly jumped out too much. The interior was really nice and standard for an upscale established. I would like to go back and try a lot more items on the menu and perhaps trying some of those would boost this into a 5-star review. read more

Pricey for subpar service. I do like their seafood ethics of providing consumers with proper fished or farmed seafood, in ways that sustain & support a healthy ocean. A bustling, loud, dimly lit atmosphere. Large wine list. Tasty cocktails. Seafood Tower was not so much a tower... Food possessed pretty basic flavors. Valet parking was probably the best "service" eating at this restaurant... Check out the experience on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/p1_bsVvoTDI read more

I come to OP often as I live in the neighborhood. I typically sit at the bar or in the bar area. Great lively bar scene. Great Bartenders! Some of my favorites are the Chop Chop Salad, Tater Tots, Tuna Tartar, Goat Cheese Ravioli and the Spicy Tuna roll. If I am getting an entrée I usually go with the Chicken or a filet. Highly recommend stop if you are in the area! I do miss the live music and wish they would bring it back! read more

Absolutely Amazing! We came in for dinner on our last night in Boston. Completely blown away! Service was impeccable! Social distancing in effect and we're appreciative! We included that we would be celebrating our three year anniversary in our reservation. Acknowledged from the minute we walked in the door. I had the 12 oz bone in and lobster tail. My boyfriend ordered the blackened snapper. My steak was so amazing that he wished he got a steak also. Not to take anything away from the snapper because it was delicious. We also ordered the black truffle Mac & cheese, broccoli & cauliflower, and the garlic mash. So tasty! Drinks were equally amazing! We'll definitely be heading back to Ocean Prime in our hometown (NY) when the world opens. We also got a free dessert (Peanut butter pie) of our choosing to help us celebrate. Couldn't have made our night more special! read more

We stopped in after a long delayed flight and sat at the bar for a drink and something to eat. The place has a great laid back ambiance. Kudos to Daniel Nye at the bar he made us feel welcome and made some great drink recommendations. As to the food we had the crab cake which was really tasty and well prepared. we also had the wedge salad which was pretty good. We also learned that we have an Ocean Prime in DC and we'll have to try that location as well. read more

The restaurant rushes you out so fast you can't even digest your meal or finish your drink. The manager came over to listen and apologized but it didn't change my terrible experience nor did he offer to replace my drink that was removed before I finished it. Not good customer service in my opinion. The place must choose between the customer experience and flipping tables quickly. You can't have both. It's a very expensive restaurant so I expected more. read more

Absolutely delicious definitely has not as many options for steaks primary seafood menu but everything was soo good. Great service well worth it. read more

We had a good meal and a fun time here, but there are a few things that could be improved to make this place 5 star worthy. The service was a bit slow and unfriendly. Our glasses stood empty for at least 15 minutes until we flagged down our server. It was crowded so maybe that was the issue, but it was a bit frustrating. We all ordered filet mignon and it was good but not cooked how we requested it. The au gratin potatoes and truffle mac were delicious. For the cost of the meal, there are probably better options in the area. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. All over it was good. Service was great and that's all I can remember. Food was ok, nothing wow about it I can remember. We had few orders of lamb that had to be sent back because it was over cooked. How can you screw up medium rare? My ribeye was ok. The expensive sides are nothing fancy I cant cook. Not sure why my friend ordered can corn, seems that way since its cream corn, not a fine dining dish for the restaurant. Restaurant itself seems tight in a long narrow room. read more

Ocean Prime, I am really impressed. Ambiance is on point and the menu is pretty awesome, whether you're looking for a sea or land dish. Also, something really cool about their menu (and I don't think I've seen this offered before, especially in such an upscale restaurant), they allow you to order half orders of the appetizers. They also offer to split entrees, so if someone orders fish and someone orders steak, they'll split each entree and plate both - that way you can share without having to eat off each others plates. Pretty awesome! Items I tried... -Sonoma goat cheese ravioli: my waiter described this as "little bites of heaven" and he was so right. AMAZING. Order it, you will be so happy you did. -Point judith calamari: I think this is the best calamari I've ever had? I can't believe I am saying that because I know it is a bold statement but it was so darn good. Prepared in a sweet chili sauce and the calamari itself was soooo tender. Delicious. FYI - we ordered a half size of this and it was the perfect amount for 2 people, along with another appetizer. -Blackened Snapper entree: delicious, the fish was cooked perfectly and seasoning was yummy. The corn spoon bread was a nice added touch too. -Sea Scallops: I thought these were just ok but I am weird with scallops. They weren't cooked enough for my liking but my fiance thought they were good. They come with a Parmesan rissoto which was rich and tasteful. -Bacon creamed spinach: OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. Do not pass this up. -Roasted Brussels Sprouts: ehhhh, wasn't a fan. They were kind of soggy and I've just had way better at other places. Don't waste your appetite on these. I also want to shout out our awesome waiter, Dereck. He was was so friendly and informative and gave great suggestions. He was a pleasure throughout the entire dining experience. Ocean Prime is also located in NYC - we're going there for sure soon. read more

I'm a huge fan of the Denver Ocean Prime so it was fun to see how things are done at other locations. We had a great time tasting an array of the favorite: Berries & Bubbles - staple item at all locations & such a delight to drink AND watch Manhattan - Oh my - so on point Clam Chowder - a must have, especially in Boston! Such good flavor & packed with clams, for realsies Shellfish Cobb Salad - OMG! SO good - seriously, one of the best seafood salads ever to grace my face. excellent light gourmet dressing & tons of lobster, shrimp etc. Creamed Corn - an amazing take on this dish! The corn was crisp & delicious with a light creamy sauce. Filet Mignon with bearnaise sauce - steak house quality & cooked perfectly Prime Cheeseburger - YES, I said cheeseburger - SO good. Topped with Tillamook Cheddar Cheese & cooked to perfection Roasted Brussel Sprouts - excellent crisp with a nice sweet taste Chilean Sea Bass with whipped potatoes and champagne truffle sauce. Sweet and succulent fish with a lovely sauce. TDF - to die for The staff is TOP NOTCH. We had a chance to chat with the Sous Chef (who was VERY knowledgeable in wines as well) and loved his enthusiasm. Levi is a staple item at the bar and around the restaurant. The restaurant is gorgeous and so is the bar. Great location in the Seaport. read more

I was in town this past weekend and went to a lot of restaurants in the area. My brother is a big steak guy, so he probably had 4 steaks during my visit. We came here Saturday at 4p and were able to sit outside with his new puppy. When we sat down they brought some sort of Parmesan Herb Popcorn for us to snack on while we ordered and waited for our food. I ordered the Halibut special (a Halibut over Lobster Risotto) - I thought it had amazing flavor but my fish was over cooked. My brother ordered the petite filet- his came out over cooked as well but he send his back (I was too hungry to say anything but still enjoyed it). His steak came back the second time and he could not have been happier and said it was the best steak he's had in his life. I know he'll be going back there for sure. Overall I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The service and atmosphere are similar to a high end steak house. Ambiance was nice. The New York strip steak looked beautiful but was served medium well when the order specified rare. As we were in a group of 10 people, and we were guests, it seemed inappropriate to complain. Comparing notes after the meal, I learned that both my wife and I were served medium well. Everything else about the place was top notch. Wine list was great, side dishes also met expectations. Many other places that have consistently high quality to choose from so we regret that this is off our list. read more

Love the decor of the restaurant. A little old school but also modern at the same time. Lighting was bright which is good. Ordered a few appetizer: 1. Deviled eggs - standard but a little salty 2. Crab cake - standard 3. Lobster bisque - good especially the addition of the fried dough Entree: 1. Ribeye - flavorful with truffle butter 2. Sea Bass - had cooked vegetables rather than mashed potato, which I think makes the fish less heavy. Will recommend this dish Entree came out room temperature which was disappointing. Side: 1. Creamed corn - ok.... 2. Parmesan truffled fries - was hoping it would be skinny fries but came out thick fries. Not enough truffle flavor and cheese. Probably because of the fact that it is thick fries and the potato just took over everything Dessert: 1. Chocolate layer cake - a huge piece of cake. Rich but standard Staffs were very attentative but restaurant was very standard. You get what you expect and nothing more. Overall didn't spark my taste buds. read more

Went here for my 25th birthday; it was spectacular and exceeded my expectations! My party and I were seated in a booth but this particular booth was entirely closed off so it felt more like a private dining experience. Our waitress was excellent, I forget what her name was but she did say she was an elementary school teacher (she was really so nice). Got the steak and potatoes for my entree and had their 10 layer carrot cake for dessert. Coming from someone who never really loved carrot cake, this cake made me love it and even return a few months later to get it to go! Highly recommend for special occasions or a date night! read more

My husband and I came here last night for dinner. Originally, our reservation was at 8:30. Unfortunately, due to traffic, I had to call the concierge to push it back to 9:15. She was understanding and allowed us to do this! When we got to the restaurant, she seated us immediately and asked about the traffic, showing that she genuinely cared. What a great first impression. Now for the meal: Berries and bubbles - do it! Very gastronomic drink. A mix of champagne and vodka, with berries and bubbles rising. Loved the smoke effect. Free bread - meh. I've had better Sonoma goat cheese ravioli (app) - money! Love the truffle and goat cheese taste Surf and turf (app) - scallops were nicely seasoned; braised short rib was not. Could do without next time Seafood tower - what we came here for! This is listed at market price. For us, this meant $80 for 6 oysters, 2 crab legs, lobster tail, 4 shrimp, and some more crab. There were lots of different dipping sauces ranging from heated butter, cocktail and mayonnaise and cashew aioli. Would get this again We also got soups - clam chowder had bacon in it and the lobster bisque had an unexpected spice to it. Next time, we'd skip the soups and get some steaks! read more

For $400 for 4 people you except to leave saying "WOW, AMAZING!! THAT WAS THE BEST MEAL EVER!." Instead you leave saying "Eh, it was ok, I wouldn't go back but it was a nice experience." I constantly had to ask for my water cup to be refilled. I don't recommend the chicken dish, definitely get a steak or fish dish. Macaroni and cheese is their best side. The dessert is OK but nothing out of this world read more

Boyfriend surprised me to Ocean Prime to celebrate our one year anniversary! We were promptly greeted upon our arrival with warm smiles. Before starting our dinner, our server welcomed us with two champagnes to celebrate our special day. I was super impressed by this nice gesture. Food: We ordered a half a dozen oysters to share. I must say the east coast oysters are by far the best compared to the west coast. Although they are a little bit smaller, they taste so fresh. For entrees we ordered a sea bass and 16oz rib eye. For their meats, you have to order your sides separately. The price only includes the protein itself. If you are looking for a lean fish, I recommend getting the sea bass.The fish was so moist, tender, and rich. The mashed potatoes were also very creamy and rich. We ended the night with a chef's choice sorbet. The almond cookie was okay, but I wouldn't recommend the sorbet if you don't like lime or lemon. The restaurant comped our dessert since it was our anniversary! I was shocked that provide both free drinks and desserts. Ocean Prime definitely knows how to keep their customers happy and full. If you're in the Boston area next time try this place. You won't regret it. read more

Great ambiance, great service and great food! I recently dined here with my boyfriend. We had the Tuna and Sea Bass. Both very tasty and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were a little cold, though. Great portion sizes - not too big and not too small. We passed on dessert and opted for a glass of dessert wine. They still brought us 10 Layer Carrot Cake at no charge and of course it was amazing (and i'm not a dessert person). We sat in the large half round banquette/booth and was nice and romantic. The lighting was a little too bright but other than that, great scene and service. read more

Ocean prime is a newly opened restaurant at 100 pier 4. The interiors were well decorated, bright, and very spacious. I had the prime ribeye steak, one of the best steaks I've had in Boston. Aged to perfection, evident in the tenderness of the meat, and expertly prepared. Cocktails were also amazing and we'll be back to try more! A great addition to seaport and we're definitely coming back for more read more

Went for dinner just before Christmas. We've had bar snacks and cocktails before but this was our first real dinner. We started with the the calamari which was really fresh and crunchy with an an asian flare, the sauce was great. We each did a soup, I got the French onion which was awesome. My friend got the lobster bisque which was poured at the table over chunks of lobster - great presentation! We shared a special 26oz bone in rib eye, twin tails and the jalapeño au gratin potatoes. The steak was tender and flavorful and the tails were quite large and yummy. We didn't save room for dessert because we also snacked on their truffle popcorn, which is only served in the bar section, it was like crack. Our server was a doll, and each course was perfectly timed. Highly recommend! read more
