  Great food, but what truly set this experience apart was the outstanding service. This is our second time dining here, and both times we’ve had Ivan as our server—and he has been exceptional every single visit. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented, but Ivan truly elevated the experience. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm and professional. His attention to detail and timing made the entire evening seamless. True five-star service. We’ll absolutely be back—and will definitely be asking for Ivan again.

  I had an interesting experience here. Im giving 5 stars because the staff deserve it. The issue lies with how things are run I captain and brought my guests 92' yacht to the restaurant, no issues. The marina is separate from the restaurant , but when we want to leave no one could allow us back through the gate. I asked staff for the a card / code , took about 15 mins before they said they couldnt find anyone with that information The front hostess then told me to be patient. I normally am up to about 10-12 mins I ended up having to hop the fence to then let my 80 year old boss back into the gate so we could leave. Bad review for the sake of them not being able to figure it out. Slight attitude.

  The worst experience I've had at a restaurant so far. We spent over 4k at the company dinner party WITH a reservation. At the moment we sat (14 people total), half people at the table were right below the air conditioner. And they were getting WET. We are not talking about 2 drops on the entire night, no, we are talking about water drops every minute. The seats were completely wet at the moment they stand. We asked for our table to be moved a little, the server refused, we asked for a manager, the manager never came to our table, we don't even know how he looks like. If this was a family dinner rest assured we would have left at that exact moment. Sadly we stayed because it was a company dinner reservation already paid for and we hoped the water drops will stop after a couple minutes (we were wrong). The server Justin is THE WORST unorganized server, chaotic, rude, you'll ever encounter. The same one that didn't care half the guest were getting wet, he just said "oh yeah is the air conditioner". The steaks arrived COLD and a few of the stakes were completely burned, and no one asked for well done term. The person in front of me had a burnt stake, she tried to scrap the exterior and eat the inside but the inside was also with a burnt taste. She asked the server for a stake to be replaced since she asked for medium term, and the response from the server was "can you try to scrap the exterior and it will be ok?" Completly unprofessional. The replacement stake was rare instead of medium, but at least was not burnt. Other people ordered medium and it was not burnt, but all stakes were cold. I do not recommend this place and our annual company dinners will never be here again.

  For as nice of a restaurant this is suppose to be I was unfortunately severely disappointed both times I’ve been here. First time steak was over cooked I ordered medium rare and came out medium well. $70 steak mind you it would apparently kill them to stick a thermometer in and verify. I send it back and it comes out cold. I wish I was being dramatic. I just took it home and cooked it myself. Give this place a couple months to hopefully iron out kinks. I go back to give a second chance and it got so much worse. Service was absolutely horrible this time an older man with a thick accent took care of us. We ordered waters to start took 20 minutes, ordered bread asked for it twice, never got it. We ordered cocktails that got delivered after the French onion soup appetizer. Server cold over and didn’t even realize we don’t have our drinks or bread but soup is out. Mortified they think this level of service is acceptable. Anyways I ordered a steak and it was overcooked yet again. I don’t send it back because I already knew how this was gonna go. To finish it off they ran out of carrot cake. Overall just terrible all around. Go somewhere else.

  Ocean Prime Fort Lauderdale delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale elegance and relaxed coastal sophistication. It’s refined without feeling stiff—ideal for a special occasion, a business dinner, or a memorable night out. The service is truly top-tier. Attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced, the staff makes you feel welcomed and well cared for without ever being intrusive. Every recommendation—from cocktails to entrées—was spot on. The food is where Ocean Prime really shines. The seafood is incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, the steaks are perfectly cooked and richly flavored, and every dish is beautifully presented. The sushi and appetizers are standout choices, and the sides are elevated enough to be stars on their own. Pair that with their outstanding cocktail program and impressive wine list, and you have a world-class culinary experience. The waterfront Fort Lauderdale location adds an extra layer of magic, making the evening feel special the moment you arrive. Ocean Prime isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. If you’re looking for impeccable service, unforgettable food, and a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere, Ocean Prime Fort Lauderdale is a must-visit. Highly recommended.
