    We had an amazing night! The service is great, and the ambiance is cozy. It's a good mixture of high-end as well as a neutral environment. We went for my husband's birthday, I made a reservation and asked for a nice place to sit in the comments on the reservation. They sat us right next to the fire away from everyone. It was literally perfect. The drinks were good, the food was great, and the free desert was delicious! This was our 2nd time going, and we will absolutely be back.

    Overall it was a good experience. Great decor and setting. Feels unique for Scottsdale. Felt like a big city speakeasy. Cocktails were made very well. Only negative for me was the specialty cocktail menu was trying just a little too hard. Every drink had to have something totally unique as opposed to just having some classics with a little twist. Also disappointed that they didn't know how to or have the ingredients to make a Kir Royale. It's not an obscure drink.

    Our waiter Sean was great. We started with umami rockefeller oysters (best ever!) and the ahi tuna which was excellent. Then the bolognese pasta - 10 out of 10! We then shared sea bass, pureed potatoes and broccolini - so good! Went down to the speakeasy after dinner - very fun. This is a true fine dining experience and not a rushed pace. Plan to take your time and enjoy the evening. Highly recommend the Americano!!

    Wow! This was the best meal I had in Phoenix during my entire visit. Fresh, crisp and creative flavors in all of the dishes that we ordered. It was quite loud inside but it offered a beautiful outdoor experience if it hadn’t been so cold outside. I’m glad we decided to stay at the resort instead of venturing out for dinner. Great service and decor too.

    Michelin star restaurant. Our Servers. Outstanding. No hovering. Attentive. We had at least three and the lead gentleman provided the best guidance we’ve experienced for years. The chef deserves kudos for excellent food prep and quality, and unique ingredients (choice of fresh greens on risotto). We had the early menu of warm breads, scallops and risotto, sides of bacon creamed spinach and jalapeño au gratin. We finished with the warm butter cake. If you enjoy martini’s try the signature. Most delicious and beautiful I’ve ever encountered. Ocean Prime is a 10 star restaurant.
