Place is absolutely amazing. Well worth the money which is expensive. You can easily spend well over 500 dollars on just two people. We had a dinner for two and it was maybe one of if not the best meals I've ever had if you like steak and lobster and wine that sort of thing and the bill was after tip around 700 just be prepared for that. I do think it was worth it actually. One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. Absolutely excellent service and amazing food. But just be prepared to spend easily 100+ per person. A single steak costs around 100+ on its own but again it is well worth it. This is a great place to take your wife or long time girlfriend for an anniversary if they like steak and lobster that is.

I really enjoyed dinner at this very beautiful and exclusive restaurant. I ordered filet mignon, French onion soup, and Brussel sprouts. The food was good, but the server, Mercedes was STELLAR! I arrived late due to the crazy, holiday traffic in downtown Chicago, so when I entered into the private dining room, I was a tad bit tired, embarrassed because of my late arrival, and overwhelmed. However, she welcomed me and took my drink order immediately... Her friendly demeanor put me at ease right away. She also gave me great food and drink recommendations, and the drink was very delicious! She then took my food order and checked on me throughout the night! The dessert, sweet potatoe cheesecake was DEVINE! Although I had a rough time arriving due to crazy traffic, the beautiful atmosphere, good food and the server, Mercedes made the hassle worth it because of her warm, bright, professional and inviting personality!

Wonderful food, service and a nice table. Even though there was a large party the atmosphere was pleasant and undisturbed. Only comment, hollandaise sauce was not to par but rest of meal was outstanding. Also very thoughtful care for allergies as I am gluten free. Will definitely return.

The happy hour was great and James did a fantastic job. His client centric attitude made our night.

Darron (sorry if i butchered) was an amazing server. The food phenomenal. Everything was just beyond expectation per usual.

Great atmosphere and views of the city. Steak was average and undercooked. Baked potato was weak with few toppings. Asked for and got additional sour cream but few to no bacon bits or chives. Chicago has a very high bar for steak restaurants and this one didn't hit it.

This was not my 1st time visiting Ocean Prime as I travel a lot and Ocean Prime restaurant is always on the lookout for me. Me and my family came for dinner here this summer and my lobster linguini was impossible to eat because of the amount of salt it had. I thought my experience at the OP in Chicago was an accident and decided to give it another shot and brought the family that was visiting from oversees. I went with the steak this time and after the 1st bite I thought "God, NOT again!" I kept it to myself as half way through our dinner my guest said "This fricking food is SO SALTY I can't take it anymore!" So it wasn't just my meal that was very salty, it turned out to be everyone else's. I don't eat salt-free food. Quite the opposite, I like salty and spicy meals, but when the salt BURNS your mouth to the intensity you don't even know to grab a glass of water or wine, it's bad. I mean it's PRETTY BAD! After I made the comments to the server back in July, I thought the message was passed, but was I wrong..... Never visiting Ocean Prime in Chicago. The amount of money we spent was outrageous for the meal none of us could enjoy!

We had a really great experience for my bday!! Customer service was top tier! The steak was cooked to perfection, the black truffle mac and cheese was really good and the carrot cake was good as well!

Absolutely amazing meal! My husband and I split two meals and a soup and they portioned it out separately before serving so we didn't have to do it! Our server was very knowledgeable.
Dinner was excellent. Our server, Marin, was a ray of sunshine and wonderful with her dinner recommendations. I wish you could bottle her energy and share it. We had a great “surf and turf” appetizer - the scallops were phenomenal. We shared a traditional wedge. And had a great au poive ribeye. Carrot cake to go, which my wife thoroughly enjoyed this morning. And oh BTW, one of the best Negronis that I have ever had. We will be back. Hopefully with Marin as our server again

Came here for a birthday dinner and I was beyond impressed at how flexible the staff. They readjusted for my party size (twice) and the whole staff was so nice it was beyond amazing.

Not worth the price - server was very pleasant. Food was average at best - not a lot of flavor.
Alexander

Ocean Prime is directly across the street from Trump tower and near Michigan Ave. I ate at the bar, which seats around two dozen people. Restaurant itself has a main dining area as well as a private area for smaller groups. Very nice and the food and service were terrific...
