    The cook was wonderful. The ladies sitting with us were fun. The server was a little slow, but she did accommodate us. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and visit.

    I have been a patron of Ocean Prime for years in the Columbus Ohio location, but I moved to the DMV and my experiences at the DC location have been subpar. Steven single handedly turned that around last night. It was my brother’s birthday, and he has special needs (Downs Syndrome). Our waiter, Steven went above and beyond in making sure he was catered to, and the rest of the table too. He checked in regularly and we didn’t want for anything. 10/10 across the board.

    I dined here as a solo diner and usually you wouldn’t get the best service because the servers want larger parties, but this was not the case here. Zach made sure I was taken care of. This is a rarity as someone who travels a lot alone and has experienced the bad end of dining alone. I’ve had a few friends and family dine here when they visited and loved it so I’m glad I was able to get the same experience they had as a solo diner.

    Great friendly service but oftentimes slow due to lack of staffing on a Tuesday night. Good location for family and kids. Our chef was very interactive with the children at our table. The portion size of food was very generous. Everyone at the table had to box up the leftovers. We knew dessert came with our meal but our server just brought our check instead of asking us what we wanted to eat. So I asked her, "doesn't our meal come with a dessert?" She responded that yes but they don't ask the customers. The customers have to ask for the dessert. She said it is because the restaurant serves such a large portion of food that people do not finish their meal and the dessert. They didn't want to waste the dessert. I was really looking forward to the green tea ice cream but they were out of it. I had the vanilla ice cream which was probably some generic version that they got in bulk because it was pretty tasteless. Other notes: * Noise level was pretty loud. * Temperature in the restaurant was extremely warm. * Validated parking was convenient in private lot. * 18% gratuity is automatically added.
