Ocean Prime

We had a very nice meal here in the bar area. The shrimp cocktail was excellent with an in-house cocktail sauce. The Chilean Sea Bass was cooked to perfection with a light, citrusy vinegarette over the top. The ravioli was dressed lightly and the goat cheese and mushrooms were very well seasoned. We finished with a butter cake and berries that was also good. It's a great special occasion place as well.

I must say, I absolutely adore this Ocean Prime establishment. The service here is truly exceptional, and the quality of the food and drinks is simply outstanding. Luke, our favorite bartender, consistently provides a level of service that goes above and beyond. His positive energy never fails to brighten our visits. We also had the pleasure of meeting Alice, and her warmth and friendliness were equally delightful. Every time I step foot in Ocean Prime, I’m welcomed like friend by them, and it’s a feeling that keeps me coming back. The combination of the remarkable service, delectable food, and delightful drinks ensures that this place will always have a special place in my heart. Recently, Luke recommended the tuna tartare, even though I’m not typically a fan of raw fish. To my surprise, I tried it, and I found myself scraping every last bit off my plate. It was an exceptional dish and a testament to the outstanding recommendations you can expect at Ocean Prime.

We enjoyed this restaurant for a Friday night dinner. The service was excellent. We were seated on time for our reservation, the drinks came out swiftly, and we had time between ordering our appetizers, receiving them, and ordering our entrées. We ordered the crab cake and the surf and turf appetizers, and they were excellent. In fact, the best items we ordered. For dinner, I ordered the jumbo shrimp cocktail, and my husband got the strip steam. And, we got the jalapeño au gratin and the mushrooms for sides. The shrimp and steak were just ok, the au gratin was excellent and the mushrooms were bland. I would definitely go back to try other menu items.

Food: I have been here multiple times and the food is always fantastic. The seafood is high quality and always fresh. I would highly recommend the jumbo crab cake. It is perfectly seared on the outside and delicious crab inside. It also comes served with a slaw. It actually is pretty big too. I would also recommend the surf and turf appetizer. You can’t go wrong with scallops seared to perfection and short ribs so tender you don’t need a knife. As far as dessert, you literally can’t go wrong! I love their 10 layer carrot cake. Service: Every time I have gone, the staff was always very attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. They were always respectful of the time because normally I would have a show to attend at the Denver Center of Performing Arts. Highly recommended eating here for any occasion!

My wife and I were visiting Denver and decided to stop in on a Saturday night. The restaurant was crowded but we were seated right away treated to some delicious popcorn. My wife ordered twin lobster tails and I got the grouper. The food was excellent. My meal came with some of the best gnocchi I have ever had. The atmosphere was great too given the location in Larimer Square. I would highly recommend Ocean Prime.

Located in Downtown Denver on the corner of historic Larimer Square, Ocean Prime is an ideal place to socialize and indulge in Happy Hour in the Lounge. Happy Hour is offered Monday through Friday from 4-6pm. All Lounge food offerings are $5 off and there are $8 Specialty Cocktails, $8 select red & white wines, & $5 local beers. I valeted my car right by Ocean Prime on Larimer Square for $10 with validation from the restaurant. We arrived at Ocean Prime and were seated at a high-top table in the Lounge. The aesthetic was high-end and sophisticated with chestnut woods and dark blue uplighting. Our server Elliot had great flair and happy hour recommendations. Managers Chris and Nick ensured customers had everything they needed and were well taken care of. For cocktails I had the Black Orchid - only $8 during happy hour - made with Belvedere Organic Blackberry & Lemongrass Infusion, St. Germain, Fresh Lemon & White Cranberry Juice. This cocktail is my favorite at Ocean Prime. The Black Orchid came in a martini glass with an ice orb that held an orchid flower inside. The cocktail had aromas and flavor notes of blackberry & lemon that burst onto the palate with a lovely juicy sweetness that refreshed. Jaclyn had the Reposado Paper Plane made with Casamigos Reposado, Aperol, St. Germain, & Fresh Lemon Juice. The Reposado Paper Plane was the National Cocktail Competition Winner of People's Choice Awards. The Ahi Tuna Tartare was made with Avocado, Pickled Ginger, Sour Cream, & Citrus Ponzu. The Tuna Tartare was an elegant raw appetizer filled with fresh, light ingredients. The sushi-grade ahi tuna pieces were generous in size and had a soft texture against the satisfying crunch of the wonton crisps. The Prime Roll was made with Tempura Shrimp, Cream Cheese, Scallion, & Beef Carpaccio. The thinly sliced beef carpaccio sat atop the sushi roll and gave it a savory flavor. The tempura shrimp in the roll had a delicate crunch that folded into the smooth cream cheese. The Ocean Roll was made with #1 Tuna, Salmon, Hamachi, Avocado, & Chili Garlic Oil. The Ocean Roll was fresh and vibrant. The hamachi was smoothly luscious. The chili garlic oil added subtle spice that enhanced the richness of the tuna, salmon, and hamachi. The Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli were made with Golden Oak Mushrooms. The ravioli was wonderful - a richly flavored pasta filled with smooth goat cheese. For our seafood main we split the Teriyaki Salmon made with Shiitake Sticky Rice, Soy Butter Sauce. This is one of the best salmon entrees you can find in Denver. The salmon was juicy and flakey and coated in the bold & thick teriyaki glaze. The sticky glaze combined with the soy butter sauce gave the salmon a perfect combo of sweet tang. For dessert we had the Warm Butter Cake made with Fresh Berries, Vanilla Ice Cream, Raspberry Sauce. The cake was piping hot with vanilla ice cream melting atop. The crisp sugar exterior gave way to a densely buttery interior making for decadent gooey bites of the cake.

The experience is great. The dry ice made the meal fun and exotic. Thr food was amazing. It is pricey but it is amazing quality. The fish is juicy and we'll seasoned. The oysters to lobster was very fresh and didn't have a overwhelming fishnets. You will need to find parking in advance or pay heavy on valet or close parking.

It’s a great place for having with one of the best calamari I ever had. It’s a little expensive but the food is really good. We tried some sushi, calamari lamb chops, ribeye etc. Everything tasted great! Do try the restaurant if you are in Denver downtown. Forgot to mention they have some good vegetarian options too.

The food is as outstanding! Danny our server did an amazing job as well, excellent service. We enjoyed the Chilean sea bass and branzino dish along with calamari for appetizers. Every single dish was amazing but the highlight would have to be the Chilean sea bass, absolutely superb! Nice ambiance and we had a nice city view upstairs, highly recommended.
