My birthday dinner at Ocean Prime was just okay, which is disappointing considering how beautiful the restaurant is and how much potential the evening had. What really upset me was finding out they accept 9 p.m. reservations even though they close at 9. I assumed, like most fine dining places, that the kitchen would stay open for guests seated at that time so we could actually enjoy the meal. Instead, we arrived to find the restaurant nearly empty, with staff already cleaning. From the start, it felt rushed.
The best part was our waitress, who was incredibly sweet, friendly, and thoughtful. She even gave me a hug when we were leaving, which meant a lot. Her service alone deserves five stars. The restaurant itself is stunning with a great atmosphere, but the food didnāt live up to the setting.
We ordered the steak and lobster prix fixe meal. The lobster was served plain with no garlic butter, lemon, or seasoning, which made it underwhelming. The steak was the biggest disappointment. It came pre-cut, which left it dry and lukewarm by the time it reached us. There was a dark glaze served as a dipping sauce, but it didnāt pair well with either dish. A simple garlic butter would have complemented both much better.
What shocked me most was being charged for my own birthday dessert. Iāve celebrated birthdays at restaurants every year for 33 years and have never once had to pay for a dessert, not even at casual places. To experience that at one of the most expensive restaurants Iāve ever been to felt especially off. The dessert was well over twenty dollars, which felt unnecessary after spending more than two hundred on dinner.
We were the last table left, but we werenāt dawdling. I even asked for my dessert to be packed to go so we could leave quickly. Our waitress kindly insisted on bringing it with a candle so I could at least have that moment, and I appreciated her effort. Still, with staff cleaning all around us and a manager standing nearby, it was hard to feel comfortable. Even though we finished within an hour, it felt like we were keeping everyone from closing up.
The space is undeniably beautiful, and the service from our waitress was exceptional, but everything else felt rushed, overly corporate, and surprisingly unwelcoming for such a high end restaurant. It didnāt feel like a birthday celebration, just a dinner that ended too quickly. I left feeling deflated and decided to plan another dinner later in the week to try to salvage the feeling of a birthday that never really happened

Food is good, very attentive staff, was jam packed
We visited today to celebrate birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere and food were impeccableāevery single dish was flawlessāand the service was equally outstanding. Every staff member we encountered was kind, professional, and attentive, creating a welcoming environment from start to finish.
In all my time in Los Angeles, this is the first place where taste, ambiance, and service came together in absolute perfection. No cap.
I would also like to express special appreciation to the distinguished gentleman who served our table today. His professionalism, grace, and attentiveness reminded us why having a server is such a valuable part of dining. He provided us with a genuinely meaningful and memorable experience.
This review is not written for any rewards or benefitsāit is purely out of sincere gratitude for an evening that exceeded all expectations.
