    We had an amazing experience at Ocean Prime - Chicago! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was just as exceptional. A special shoutout to Darren, our waiter, who truly made the experience worthwhile. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, and his attentiveness and hospitality made the evening even more memorable. It was more than just a great meal; the service made the entire experience special. We will definitely be coming back!

    Great experience at Ocean Prime. Our waiter, Darren, provided one of the best if not the best restaurant service of my life. His recommendations were perfect and he really added to the celebration of the night. Highly recommend Ocean Prime and Darren!

    Always excellent - silly that dinner for two is $550.00 but that is what it is! Our server Nichol was excellent and very interactive and fun. The New York Strip was perfect. Sealed the deal with my client so worth every penny.

    Cocktail, appetizer, and dessert all wonderful. The miso black cod didn’t’ seem like the black cod I’m used to. It was think but good, just not what I was expecting as it’s usually a thick, white, flaky fish.

    Enjoyed a surprise Sunday special during our visit to Ocean Prime, one of our favorites. Ocean Prime did not disappoint, drinks, service and food--all excellent and with a special pre-fixe price to top the experience. Of course, the 10-layer carrot cake was the icing on the meal. All of us left well satisfied!

    Our server, Rafael, took exceptional care of us. He anticipated every one of our needs without us having to ask for anything. Along with the manager Andrew, the two of them gave us one of the greatest dining experiences we’ve had. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

    We liked everything except the house music played at a volume acceptable for a bar but not for a restaurant.
