    The staff is always very friendly and so kind. The sushi is always top notch and melts in your mouth. The only sad part is that most everything was sold out by Saturday night. Four to five of the items that we were trying to order were already sold out by the time with got to dinner at 7:00pm. I've had sushi in Seattle, Baltimore, San Fransico, and Seoul, South Korea, and Izakaya Den is easily my top choice in sushi.

    Celebrated my mother's birthday at Ocean Prime and it was absolutely stellar! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Our server was not just attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable, offering thoughtful suggestions for both food and drinks that enhanced our dining experience. The food was outstanding, with perfect timing between courses. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented, living up to the restaurant's high-end reputation. What really made the evening special was how the staff went above and beyond to celebrate my mother's birthday. They surprised her with a complimentary slice of chocolate cake, and our server even took extra care to capture perfect photos of our celebration. Little touches like these, combined with the exceptional service and superb food quality, made for an unforgettable birthday celebration. The server's genuine enthusiasm to ensure we had the best possible experience was evident throughout the evening. This is fine dining done right - where attention to detail meets warm, personalized service. Ocean Prime proved to be the perfect choice for a special occasion. They didn't just serve us dinner; they helped create lasting memories. Highly recommend for any celebration or special evening out!

    Our server was great but realized she forgot my miso soup. I am unsure if we were charged or not, but was busy catching up with friends and noticed after the fact. Everything else was great
