    This was our favorite spot during our 5 day trip, our first to NYC. Our 3 kids (12, 8, 7) loved every bit of this experience - from the food to the vibe. Don’t miss this great spot, 12/10 and they’ve already asked to go back tomorrow!

    Our experience was excellent. We arrived early but were seated right away. Service was excellent. I had the Rib Eye and my wife had the Fillet. They were cooked to perfection and excellent cuts of meat. We had asparagus and mushrooms as sides. Both portions were large and nicely prepared. We skipped desert and opted just for coffee. It was our first time at Ocean Prime and we were very happy.

    So happy with this new addition to the neighborhood! Came for lunch for the first time and everything was excellent!! The food was delicious! We shared the zucchini chips and they were crispy, not soggy or oily which you sometimes get at other restaurants. The grilled octopus was so tasty my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I had the salad which was very tasty with the grilled onion. My friend had the grilled vegetable panini and she said it was delicious! I'll be a repeat customer for sure!!
