  Arrived for lunch at 1:15pm. Asked for table for 2 . Was told we had some wait but we coul seat at the bar. We said we preferred a table. After 10-15 minutes we were talking to our seat. Noted that there were plenty of tables available. It appeared that they were pushing us to seat at the bar!

  What a great evening! It makes me regret that we haven't visited in 20 years. Kyle was a great server, fun and attentive. Pre-dinner drinks were almost magical with my Prime Manhattan being the best I've had. The food was wonderful, photos and videos attached, with both steak and fish being perfect, a rarity. Presentation was also better than usual and very well done. Someone picked out their least expensive bottle of Spanish red for us which turned out to be very good. Service was attentive from Kyle and Jesus without being a bother. Overall, except for the astronomical pricing, I can't wait to return. The bill, with tip, for four of us was $800.

  Service was good. The food was simply awesome and couldn't have been better from bread to dessert. Best complete meal I have had in a long time. 3 concerns; 1. Valet was horrible. Pulled up and two guys just stood at the booth talking. They never came to the car. I got out and walked to them. No helping with the door for the lady. Same leaving. Such a classy place should have classy valet. 2. 1.5% surcharge added to bill. When asked for what, was told due to increasing prices so the don't have to change prices. Waitress stated it is industry standard. I call BS on that. 3. Lastly, when paying the bill at the table I noticed the recommended tip dollar amounts on the electronic credit card device were calculated on total price including tax. When I asked why, the waitress simply said it is industry practice and just walked away. She wanted to be tipped on $44 of tax. Ridiculous. She got her percent not including tax. Very expensive but worth it for me. I will be going back

  I will keep it short and simple. I have ate at many other restaurants that were much better in taste for significantly less money. This goes for the bisque, sushi, and lobster linguine, The deviled eggs were the only thing I can say was something that I have never ate the way they made them, very rich flavor and well worth it. The saddest experience was the oysters which was primarily what I went for, they were less than okay and highly overpriced. They did provide exceptional service.

  I’ve been to Ocean Prime in Tampa many times, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual dinner or a special night out. The food is consistently excellent, every steak is cooked to perfection, and the menu always has a great variety of options to choose from. The drinks are just as impressive, with plenty of creative cocktails and a well-rounded selection. What keeps me coming back, aside from the quality of the food, is the service. The staff is always attentive, professional, and friendly, which makes every visit an enjoyable experience. This place has become one of my go-to spots in Tampa, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch food, drinks, and atmosphere.
