    Wonderful experience at the newly opened Ocean Prime in Sarasota, FL. Service was exceptional by the team of Marissa and Ren, but there was a real sense of teamwork amongst the entire staff that attended to us. Steaks were outstanding and perfectly done. All of the food, as well as the beverages were simply top notch. My wife loves her lemondrops, and kudos to bartender, Kristie, for one of the best ever (as well as the espresso martini). Real nice vibe in the restaurant, only '4 star' for ambiance because the music, at least to us, didn't seem to match the nature of the experience. Coming from the service industry, it was obvious that one of the keys to this restaurant's success was attention to detail. From 3 point checks to assure gluten-free foods to the attention that the kids receive (no ours, just observed the magic at a nearby table) to an associate assuring a perfectly clear glass and then following-up by detailing a lamp, to a nice b'day celebration for my wife..BRAVO..WELL DONE..AND THANK YOU!!

    Super inviting space with great ambience and a very low noise level. Alex our server was fantastic and attentive without being overly present. The food was fantastic. Cowboy pork chop and steak were both excellent. Nice wine list that is reasonable.
