Nicolette was an angel when we first walked in and took us to a table but my lil sis wanted to sit next to the window. Nicolette was very kind and understanding and gave us a high top in the bar to wait and have a cocktail. 20 minutes later she sat us at the window!! We had Sam for a waiter who was excellent!! He showed up when we needed him, checked on us after the food was served and described and delivered all of food hot and tasty. We had the east coast oysters to start, chop chop salad for the ladies and lobster bisque for the men. Lamb chops, the seafood special a Chilean sea bass with all kind of things with it, scallops and the grouper. Everyone loved their meal, apps and the in between. We love Ocean Prime and my lil sis from California does too.

First time at this restaurant on Christmas Day. What a great dinner, my kids loved it and asked if we can make it a tradition. Seth, our waiter, was fantastic and helped make the evening a wonderful experience. We will definitely be making this restaurant a "go-to" whenever we are in the downtown area.

Thor is our go to place to celebrate a holiday. Happy is the best but still a great value if you can’t get in before 6. Note: they can make off menu rolls so if you don’t see it on the menu, ask your server.
