I walk into this place and WOW, I'm impressed with the styling. It's swank, sleek and modern. I was there for a corporate meal in one of their private rooms. That room was also very sexy with really cool lighting and a wavy wall design that I liked.
The food was good. Some appetizer munchies like calamari that was done right, a crab stuffed thingy which was really good, and an icebery wedge with delicious bacon bits and bleu cheese crumbles. I had a steak for an entree. It was perfectly cooked and had very good flavor. My bernaise sauce on the side was also very good.
Why not 5 stars? The price. Much like Ocean Club and Mastros, this place charges huge prices for what you get. I have no problem plunking down $100/person (not including wine) if I feel that I am getting something truly memorable. (see my review of Posh).
But the $20/per person premium over what I pay at Eddie V's for the exact same quality food isn't justified.
Ocean Prime's food and ambiance are superb. So are many other places in this economy competing for my dollars and they cost less. Sorry, but I will stick with Eddie V's, Flemings, Roy's, etc.
