| - So my mom had been raving to me for weeks about Ocean Prime's happy hour and when my mom says a restaurant is good, it's really saying something because she can be quite picky. (I love you mom!)
My mom decided for my family to go here for her birthday dinner, perfect excuse to finally try it out! To my surprise (note the sarcasm), she was 100% right. Their happy hour is AWESOME. Not only do they have happy hour from 5-7 (a little later for those that work late!) but they have great prices for being such a nice steakhouse kind of restaurant.
First of all, they give you complimentary popcorn. If you know me, you know I freakin' love popcorn so this was an instant bonus. It's not just any popcorn, its popcorn with truffle oil, butter, and salt on it, making it incredibly addicting. The best part is, you can just keep asking for more popcorn....for FREE.
Beers are $3, glasses of wine $5, and some specialty cocktails for $6 like sangria or their Moscow mule. I ordered the sangria, which is a red wine sangria, and it was very tasty. If I wasn't driving, I would have ordered a 2nd or 3rd glass.
As a table we decided to split their Kobe beef sliders (2 for $5), the parmesan truffle fries, and the bruschetta. Let's just say there was nothing left on our plates. Everything was delicious and well prepared. My dad and I ended up splitting one more order of the sliders, because...they are $5! Why not?!
My sister let our amazing server, Barbara, know it was our mom's bday at the beginning of the meal and at the end she brought out a complimentary birthday dessert! My mom chose the carrot cake and that thing was impressively layered and tall! Also incredible, I might add.
The food, service, and atmosphere was wonderful. Barbara rocked, and so did the live music which happens every Friday night! Can't wait to take my boyfriend for a romantic night out!
