Really beautiful interior and spacious seating area. We ordered the calamari, crab cake, hamburger, and fish burger and everything tasted great. Our waiter was very friendly and professional. We were a group of 6 so we made a reservation, but it looked like there were plenty of tables for walk ins.

This upscale eatery is the great place to have an intimate birthday. The food is delicious. The maître D will come out and speak to you and ask you if everything is OK and the food, the atmosphere, was so delightful. You can find parking easily on the street or in the parking garage nearby. This is definitely the place you want to come to after a Broadway show.!

Very nice steak at Ocean Prime. Service was excellent. My water glass was never more than half empty!
Steak was cooked perfectly and the bacon creamed spinach was outstanding. I was able to get all of my potato toppings on the side so could dress it the way I wanted (probably too much butter!).b The shrimp cocktail portion was on the small side, but the taste was very good.
A nice place in Midtown for a work dinner or just a casual date. Can definitely recommend the Ocean 55 cocktail as well.

A superior experience! Food was excellent! Service was exceptional and Alyssa was the most outgoing attentive server! Her suggestions were spot on! The blackened salmon salad was AMAZING, the steak was cooked to perfection, the drink that she suggested was not only soooo good but it was served over dry ice making it a show! The fresh popped truffle oil popcorn instead of bread was just so different yet so good! The desserts were delicious!! Portions and presentation were perfect! Alyssa made the experience complete by providing exceptional service and had such a nice conversation with us! I highly recommend & wish I lived closer!

I’ll admit I went on Valentine’s Day weekend so the place was packed but the food was delicious worth every penny and the drinks were so well-made. The only thing I did didn’t care for was the bread basket lol

Do NOT recommend - try a different steakhouse. We ordered:
- 10oz filet mignon medium. Arrived medium well (almost no red) and very dry. While advertized as Prime, it likely was USDA choice given how dry it was.
- NY Strip with blue cheese crust. Arrived with mushy substance on top of the steak (like mashed potatoes) - definitely not a crust. Who delivers a mashed potato-like substance on top of a steak?
- Jalapeno au gratin. Arrived with zero traces of any jalapeno.
- Truffle parmesan fries. Arrived with zero traces of any truffle taste or aroma.
Essentially a good decor with poor kitchen quality - just oriented for a stream of first time customers that are sold on the decor, but will get disappointed on the food and unlikely to return.

We had 2–3 waiters who were so friendly and attentive. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our food, and the service was truly 10/10! The drinks were made to a T — absolutely perfect. This will definitely be one of our new date night spots.

We went here to celebrate our 25th anniversary. So when i made the reservation i placed anniversary the special occasion. When we arrived we were greeted with people opening doors for us, happy anniversary from the hostesses and smiles all around.
We were seated and they placed a small vase with 2 roses on our table to signify our special day.
Our waitress Kerry was probably the best waitress we have ever had anywhere! (Owners should make sure this one is WELL taken care of!) She was bright, happy and friendly. She explained the menu with ease,
and knowledge. We were immediately comfortable, knowing we had to catch a show so on a shorter time frame. Our food was 2nd to none! I had the sea bass, which they accommodated me with a change in the veg. The food literally melted in my mouth. The mash was super creamy with a light sauce poured over the plate by our server. Absolutely stunning. My husband had the ny strip. Cooked mid rare to perfection. His giant baked potato came with all the fixing.
I don't want to leave the bar out.. they make this tequila cocktail with an apple cinnamon sugar on the rim.. to die for!
When we had to go, we did not have time for dessert. Kerry offered us free dessert if we wanted to come back later. Which we did.
And holy moly! The butter cake.. oh my goodness! Husband had the raspberry sorbet which was so good too! Our waitress Mia, was so friendly and kind, we could have talked with her for hours! Very attentive to us, super knowledgeable on the foods and drinks.
All in all. This place (Although pricey) is worth every dang penny you spend here! And when you tip your staff, no matter what you give you are going to feel like it wasn't enough!
Well done. Thanks for a memorable evening.

Came for the theatre menu before seeing Book of Mormon and Milena treated us so nicely. She was very attentive to my wife’s food intolerances and even changed items on the menu to accommodate her. The food came out quick and was very good. Plus we got a free glass of champagne! Such an intimate restaurant and the service was perfect.

I’m disappointed to share that my experience at this restaurant fell far short of expectations, primarily due to how I was treated upon arrival.
When I arrived for my reservation, I was informed by the hostess that there would be a 30-minute wait. I had actually modified my reservation on OpenTable 30 minutes later than my original time because I was worried about running late—though I ultimately arrived at my original reservation time. When I asked about adjusting my reservation to 15 minutes earlier to account for the wait, a male host who appeared to be the manager approached me and raised his voice, insisting that I would have to wait the full 30 minutes because “he’s watching all the tables and knows his shit.” His aggressive tone was completely uncalled for. I nearly left, but my girlfriend really wanted to try the restaurant, so we stayed.
There’s simply no excuse for speaking to guests this way. I came to spend my money and enjoy an evening out, not to be berated. A courteous explanation would have sufficed, especially since I could see several open tables at the time. At the very least, he could have offered alternative seating options or explained the situation with basic respect.
Unfortunately, this hostile beginning set the tone for the entire evening. While the seafood was fresh—which I appreciated as someone who grew up on the coast—and our server was pleasant enough, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being rushed through our meal. We received our check before we even asked for it, while tables seated before us were still dining leisurely.
I’ve dined at countless restaurants, and this ranks among my worst service experiences. I won’t be returning.

Very accommodating especially when identifying food allergies and precautions. Blackened snapper and ocean roll were great!

We were hungry, were passing by and stepped in. No reservations, nice hostess, we decided to sit at the bar. Our bartender was great - friendly, warm, knowledgeable. Helped us with our orders. We saw they offered a RW dinner menu. Limited choices, but it had what we wanted. House salad and French onion soup, both good. Salmon and steak ($15 upcharge) cooked as requested, very good. Housemade carrot cake, a nice finish. It's a beautiful, spacious restaurant. All the staff, professional and courteous. Made for a very lovely meal on a frigid evening. Will put on my radar again, and come back to try more items on the menu.

Excellent food and service. A nice wine list featuring a global set of options although perhaps a little light on US wines
