    First visit to Sarasota- we frequent the Fort Myers location more often. Pleasantly surprised by the elevated experience. Haley- our waitress was polite, prompt, friendly - flawless. The food was perfect - an issue we seem to have in FM with undercooked filet was not an issue here. We ordered medium and got medium. Wine selection was good; margaritas were awesome. Would like to see an expended red wine list with Paso Robles wines someday but still good choices imo. Overall a wonderful night and a great experience. Would go back if in this area again.

    Ocean Prime has wonderful food and service. Rebecca was awesome! It was our anniversary and we were greeted with a glass of complimentary champagne when we entered. We sat in the outside section that is covered and has screens, ceiling fans and heaters for all types of weather. I’m not sure how warm it would be on a warm summer evening, but it was perfect last night. The noise level where we were seated was fine, but as we left we noticed the noise inside was quite loud. There were alot of people at the bar which probably contributed to that. As a senior, I’m not sure sitting inside would be pleasant for those that may have difficulty hearing. Our view was good but they are beginning to construct a large condo building right next door to the restaurant. So I have concerns about the view while they continue to build and am unsure what it will look like when the construction is complete. And while everything was almost perfect, the price is also out of this world. For 2 people to have a couple of drinks, one appetizer, 2 mains with sides and 2 desserts, and parking, the price was almost $500 before tip. All that said, it was a wonderful anniversary dinner. Thank you Ocean Prime!

    Have eaten here several times and it is always outstanding. Glad they reopened after the damage from the hurricane. Menu is always interesting, food excellent, service excellent (Chris was our latest waiter), table by the water gives excellent view even of the Osprey nest not far away. Though "pricey", it is always an exceptional experience and one we always remember and look forward to.

    The food was delicious & portions were generous. Service was perfect & friendly! Food prices were reasonable (for the great quality) but drink prices were pretty high. We sat out on the patio (on the parking lot side). The music was a bit loud, which made it difficult to hear conversations with our guests. We probably should have just asked our server if she could turn it down a bit, but didn’t think to do that. Overall, it was a great dining experience with an easy solution…talk louder & drink less ;)
