    We walked in after an unpleasant dinner at another local restaurant and went to the bar. Right as we turned the corner and made our way to the bar we were warmly welcomed by one of their wonderful bartenders, Owen. We ordered drinks and were just in time to order something from the kitchen before they closed. The staff throughout the night, even while closing up the bar, were probably some of the friendliest, nicest bartenders I’ve met recently. They made our evenings & honestly I couldn’t speak more highly of the staff: Owen, JP & McKenly. I definitely will be coming back for a full dinner!

    We were served by Raphael, who was well-acknowledged. We had a shrimp Sauté, Teriyaki Salmon, and Lobster Linguine. The last dish was my favorite, and then we topped it off with warm butter cake. The best restaurant in town in my pov :)

    DC has a lot of wonderful restaurants so it’s quite competitive. However, we have always enjoyed our time at Ocean Prime. We’ve been a few times now and almost leave happy! The service is top notch and the waiters and waitresses are always friendly and on top of everything. They have a great attitude. The food is amazing, from the steak to the seafood to the sushi, everything always comes out perfectly. They take hospitality and food seriously and always aim to delight. The carrot cake is amazing and one of the best desserts I’ve had in my life. Definitely stop by and you will not leave disappointed.

    Service was outstanding. Went by myself and was still provided a 2 seater booth without being forced to the bar. Everything was delivered quickly with regular checkins. Would highly recommend.

    We celebrated my brother’s birthday here, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. I ordered the Ocean Roll and the Chilean sea bass—both were absolutely outstanding and exceeded expectations. Our server, Will, made the evening even better. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant. The cocktails were also top notch—extremely well crafted. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and the perfect spot for a special occasion. Highly recommend.
