I celebrated my birthday at Ocean Prime recently and this restaurant did not disappoint. I was accommodated to a private dinning room which was stunning and intimate perfect for a night out. The staff were very welcoming, attentive, and the waitress Bridgette was amazing at giving recommendations. I’d like to say these are some must the Ahi Tuna Tartare, the blackened snapper, and the sea scallops. For dessert the butter cake is a must, it’s so rich and moist and pairs well with the ice cream and berries. Overall it was a birthday dinner well spent.
