| - Prime Seafood and Steak? Oh yes land locked Arizonians, Ocean Prime's got both. This establishment brings the ocean to us desert dwellers with some tasty steak to boot.
Decor - Bright neon blue lighting and modern clean lined architecture make up the interior. Ocean Prime screams class and sophistication. It's a swanky spot. The illuminated bar and wine cellar are both gorgeous, I want them in my home! Matt and I sat out on the intimate and dimly lit patio since it wasn't too uncomfortably hot outside. I also noticed that they had an outdoor fireplace for those cooler winter days. The tables throughout the interior and exterior looked comfortably well spaced. In the bar they had a musician performing live acoustic music, and I thought it was cool that they set up their speaker system so that the live music played throughout the entire restaurant.
Service - Upon arrival we received a happy and welcome greeting from the hostess. We were extremely well taken care of by our waitress the entire time, and also liked that the restaurant didn't mind our double fisting drinking style (when we go out, we'll generally order cocktails and a bottle of wine - sometimes waiters snicker at our booze hounding ways).
Food - I'm a San Francisco Seafood Snob. So if a desert seafood restaurant WOWs me, I'm floored. From the Restaurant Week menu, I picked the salad and salmon, Matt picked the French onion soup and filet mignon with bacon, we both decided on the 10-layer carrot cake for dessert.
My salad included some tasty candied walnuts, and I appreciated the fact that it consisted of spinach instead of lame iceberg lettuce. That salmon I ordered must have swum right on to my place it was so fresh, flaky and meaty in taste. Topped with bread crumbs and surrounded by crisp snap peas in a soy butter sauce, this fish was top notch.
Matt raved about his French onion soup, saying that the broth with onions at the bottom tasted flavorful and rich, the middle layer's crusty bread soaked up that tasty broth and the top layer of cheese was thick and perfectly browned to perfection. The fact that he downed an entire bowl of hot soup while sitting on a patio in warm Arizona weather speaks for itself!
Then there was that filet mignon that Matt ordered. Oh my goooodness! I am not a meat person by any means, but I tasted his filet and wow. I mean WOW! It melted in my mouth. That was one prime piece of meat.
The towering carrot cake was outstanding. Layer upon layer of the richest carrot cake I've ever tasted. It didn't have that yucky overwhelming carrot taste through, more like a subtle hit of it. However, it was the cream cheese frosting that made this cake so special - a creamy, buttery and sugary delight!
Another prime favorite of mine was the mojito they shook up. It met all of my mojito drinking requirements - muddled perfectly, bubbly, not too sweet, refreshing and very minty.
This is a prime spot for all you fellow land locked seafood and steak lovers out there. Ocean prime goes above and beyond to provide a well rounded 5 star dining experience. Once my bank account recovers from the pricey bill, I can't wait to go back.
