    Toasting with amazing crafted cocktails.
    Penny M.

    We had a Great dinner and cocktails on the patio with a beautiful sunset. It's a little bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, it's well worth it. They also have a great happy hour and a three course dinner special before 6 PM.

    Had a wonderful anniversary dinner! Christine was a great server. The atmosphere was LOUD. It was hard to hear each other. But that could be because we were unfortunately sat at the very first table next to the hostess stand with lots of foot traffic and people waiting.

    My husband took me here for Mother's Day. The food was delicious. The private label Oysters were served perfectly chilled. My husband had the Strip Steak and I had the King Crab Legs. My only complaint is my entree came with asparagus and baby new potatoes. My potatoes three of them, were raw. The crab was the star by far but I really enjoy a fluffy baby new potato. I also had to ask for butter for my crab. My husband really loved his wagu beef, no complaints there. All in all a boushy place with nice cocktails and upscale dining. Our wait staff worked well. The team was a little slow but they were extremely busy. Lot of families celebrating Mom. We're going to save Ocean Prime for special occasions.

    Sushi...delicious

    Beautiful ambiance, great service, and good food. I really enjoyed our early anniversary dinner in those beautiful location close by the beach in Sarasota.

    This was our first time going. We went to celebrate our anniversary (which we mentioned in our reservation). The hostess greeted us with champagne. We happened to have the entire terrace to ourselves at sunset. Rose petals were at our table. There were mosquitos at night but not their fault obviously. Our server Austin was extremely attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. All of the food was perfect and exceeded expectations. We started with the calamari. Crunchy, well dressed, flavorful. I got the scallops with Parmesan risotto. Incredible, melt in your mouth scallops. Creamy risotto. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his filet mignon with lobster Mac n cheese and broccoli. There was a lot of lobster in it. We opted for the butter cake dessert to-go and were surprised to see they put a special anniversary chocolate on top. The ice cream even had dry ice to keep it cold. They really think of everything. Valet was professional and attentive. 10/10 memorable experience. Thank you for a beautiful evening.

    Had a wonderful birthday celebration here yesterday. Great Piedmontese steak, drinks and service. Always a great experience here!

    Celebrated our anniversary on 2/6 and sat upstairs. Amanda was a great server with excellent recommendations. The jumbo lump crab cake and the surf and turf appetizers were excellent. Our 8oz filets melted in our mouths and were not over salted. The loaded baked potato and the bacon creamed spinach were excellent. Huge food portions with plenty to bring home. The view was great. They treated us with sparkling wine and a desert. We will be coming back soon.

    Our first time at this location to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary and it was perfect. Service, ambiance, drinks and food were perfect. The lobster pasta is our favorite so so good. The carrot cake was the perfect sweet bite to end a lovely evening. Highly recommend you consider a visit. 5 stars!!

    Lobster linguini
    Denise W.

    Awesome service from Amanda D. She made my birthday feel really special. Everyone was very nice and kept my water glass full since that's all I drink. The tuna tartar and the lobster linguini were so yummy. There was so much pasta I had it again the next day. I enjoyed the warm butter cake but I thought the ten layer carrot cake was too sweet. We will definitely be back.

Service was excellent--the pacing of the food was especially well done, with dishes coming out at just the right intervals so we could actually enjoy everything as it arrived. Cocktails were well made, and our friends were very happy with the wine selection. We ordered a large portion of the menu, and most dishes were really flavorful and well executed, very true to what tapas dining should feel like. The only two things that didn't quite work for me were the vegetable paella and the mushroom toast, but everything else was solid to excellent. They also did a great job accommodating us with kids. We had a nice semi-private table upstairs, which made the whole dinner feel comfortable and easy for a group. Overall, it's a great place for both groups and date nights, and I'd happily return.

We ordered the watermelon salad and the Queso de Cabra. Both were very good. We then ordered the lamb skewers, the beef cheeks, shrimp and the potatoes. Everything was good except for the shrimp. We had the Flan for dessert which was great. The restaurant is very noisy so I would suggest getting an outdoor table. Our server was terrific with great service and suggestions. The restaurant has an upstairs, downstairs, bar and outdoor seating. We also enjoyed the Sangria. Our friend ordered a gin and tonic and a glass of white wine. He complained to the server how small the glasses were. Our bill for four of us was $260 which is way too high for the size of the portions.

Every one of the five different entrees merits the five-star rating. Service: exceptional. Our server, Mr. Lenza, was beyond what even the most demanding of customer could want.

Our server Kristy was so lovely and took care of us so much. I would definitely recommend checking this out for Brunch and it looks like they have some great Lunch and Dinner options. The little outdoor patio would be great for nice weather.

As we wandered about looking for someplace for dinner (the place we had intended for the evening was maxed out with one large party, so needed to look elsewhere) realized we just happened upon a place we had driven by a couple of times called "The Doctors Office". They had a beautiful garden area outside where people were dining, but it was a pretty warm night, so decided to check out the inside - where we found a really cool space and were greeted by the host asking: "Do you have an appointment?" (Get it? Doctors office...reservations...appointment!? Too cute a play on the doctor's office thing! : ) Well, we did NOT have said appointment (and the main dining area was quite full!) but thankfully there was one table remaining in the back lounge area, which was through a hidden door made to look like a bookshelf! This area also had its own cool vibe. Waiter (Matt) immediately placed two little medicine cups in front of us - to sample their cherry rum punch. Delish. I ordered a cocktail (cannot recall the name but along the lines of a manhattan) while my DH stayed with red wine (boooooo-ring! ; ) We shared the smoked salmon appetizer (super yummo!) Then on to dinner. OK, we're talking seafood country here! But, over the course of the several days we've been here, I ordered seafood every single time. I adore seafood but was ready for something else. So, was being realistic when I ordered something on the beef realm. Got the short rib dish and it did not disappoint. It was excellent. Maybe not the "easily shredded with a fork" ones I have had elsewhere, but certainly super tasty and not at all tough or fatty. DH got the shrimp-lobster tacos and said they were incredible! No leftovers coming home with this guy! Our waiter, Matt, was new to this establishment (but not waitering) and was attentive and personable - above and beyond. Would highly recommend. No, you're not going to get any water views (this place is sort of hidden away in an obscure spot behind a plaza) but well worth the visit!

I feel like the drinks used to be a lot more creative from what I saw on their socials and from what my friend said who went back in the day it used to be more of a speakeasy elevated cocktail vibe versus a tiki/dive bar vibe. We had to ask for the chips that are supposed to be given complimentary and then we ordered bread and soup which literally took an unnecessary like 30 mins or more to come out as we watched the people on both sides of us get their full meals before us when we got items that just had to be reheated. The tomato soup was very good once it finally came out, the rolls were good but nothing as great as the hype in my opinion for the menu. The drinks were good but honestly the starter shot given at the bar was my favorite which was a hibiscus Pom margarita which I ended up getting fully as my second drink. Service started out hot but then went downhill but that is unfortunately the standard of when gratuity is already included in a check. Then when it came time to pay it got weird when there was a simple mix up when my friend intentionally overpaid even with gratuity involved in her check and the bartender asked her if she wanted change and she said yes but never brought it back. My friend gave 3 - 20s on a $38 check (gratuity) already in but she wanted to tip a few more dollars because she is a very generous person and then when she asked about her change that's when it got weird and the bartender made it seem like she didn't understand why she wanted change instead of just apologizing for the mistake and they went back and forth for a few minutes with the bartender ending up just giving her the extra $20 back. Just left a weird taste in our mouths for the experience when I feel like any bartender would understand what she wanted to do with giving extra larger bills to split especially when she said she wanted change and it was a massive overpayment or if the thought there was a very generous tip like 30% would make sure with guest that's what they want and show appreciation if that were the case. It was just weird how it all was handled. The decor was on point for Christmas and the vibe was very casual but oldie vibes which makes sense for it being in Anna Maria island.
