Ocean Prime

To preface my review, I had just flown into Denver and the meals I had for the next multiple days were similarly underwhelming for me, so there is a chance my taste buds had not acclimated to the altitude. However, I do feel like enough was off on this pricey meal to think that altitude adjustment was not the only issue. Service was good, my flight was delayed so we did have to rush a bit, but the waiter was on top of it and got us out just fine. The bread was good, and my drink was fun. Honestly, it was a bit hard to drink, as the fizz lasted for like 30 minutes, and I had no desire to get berry stains everywhere, but it was tasty. The flavor of the appetizer of scallops and braised beef was pretty good, though the scallop was a little overcooked (slightly too chewy). My dad didn’t love that the same red wine sauce came on the scallop as the beef, but that’s his preference, I didn’t mind too much. It was also very small, so having the scallop less than perfect was a bit of a bummer. The steak was the most disappointing part, for me, because it came out overcooked. I didn’t have time to send it back, though, so I ate it and didn’t make a big deal out of it. The Brussels sprouts were also very plain. I love Brussels, but I wouldn’t order those again. The butter cake was fine, not *quite* as good as I remember, but still enjoyable, so I’m willing to blame that on altitude adjustment. One of our favorite meals of all time was at Ocean Prime in Boston, to the point where we changed our trip to go back a second time within the week. So this was quite disappointing.

The hostess was very friendly and made me feel at home. My waitress was also very friendly and attentive. I ordered the 16oz Ribeye and added a lobster tail and mushrooms. The steak was cooked to perfection, had great flavor, and just the right blend of fat and meat. The lobster was also cooked perfectly and tasted so good. The mushrooms were delicious. It was all delicious. The atmosphere was romantic but alive with conversation. My only complaint would be that the lobster tail could have been a little bigger for the price. Other than that, I really enjoyed my dinner.

April was amazing. She was hilarious and was comfortable sharing in our table jokes. The service was awesome. The food was incredible. The drinks are worth every penny. The outdoor seating includes a vibrant view of the square. As with other restaurants on the boardwalk, there is a cockroach issue on the patio, but it is an inherent problem that is unavoidable but completely manageable; it did not diminish the dining experience.

The ribeye steak might be the best I’ve ever had, melted in your mouth. The french onion soup and iceberg wedge are good starters. Service was excellent, it’s always been a standard high end restaurant in Denver.

I ordered scallops and lobster bisque. Both were very good. I would say skip the scallops as they weren’t anything special. Cooked perfectly but lacking in flavor. However their steak was to die for. Maybe one of the best and most unique flavored steaks ever. Choose french onion soup over the lobster bisque. Really enjoyed the king crab legs and the mocktail was also fabulous. We had a private room. I will say the service was European timed…so took forever and almost painful to get each next course ordered.

THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME! I think this is the best service I have ever had! The wait staff was phenomenal! The food was great also. Everything was so delicious. I highly recommend the calamari. The steak was melt in your mouth tender.

Had an awesome time Saturday night having dinner with my wife. The service was impeccable. They known for steaks, but this night we focused on seafood and Ocean Prime did not disappoint. The food we ordered was delicious (lobster linguine, scallops, oysters, and lobster bisque) and it arrive without any delays. Overall it was a fabulous dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place!

The oysters and bass was amazing! The way the whiskey was elegantly presented. The amazing staff. The low lighting and the views over looking Larimer. Our visit was decadent!
