- VVirajSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOcean Prime delivered an exceptional dining experience for Valentine’s Day. The food was nothing short of outstanding, with every dish crafted to perfection. Our server was not only attentive but also had impeccable recommendations, ensuring we got the best of both the menu and the night’s drink specials. While the restaurant was busier than expected, and the noise level was a bit higher than ideal, it didn’t overshadow the quality of the meal or the overall experience. If I had to rate it, I’d confidently give Ocean Prime a 4.7 out of 5—an excellent choice for a special occasion or an upscale night out.More infoOcean Prime - Denver - Larimer SquarePrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Downtown / LoDo•4.8

- HHeatherDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoGreat experience. We had a baby so we were a bit nervous about her possibly crying and disrupting the other people at our table. The older couple next to us adored her and were lovely. The chef was good but could have been a bit more interactive, we have had some very fun chefs in the past. The service was great, server kept our drinks full and kept asking if everything was good. We got seated on time with our reservation. The manager even gave us a $10 gift card at the end and we thought that was great. We used it to go towards a bottle of plum wine to go on our way out. Altogether lovey experience! We will be back as always.More infoBenihana - Broomfield, COPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Broomfield•3.7
- PPhyllisDenver / Colorado •16 reviews4.0Dined on 8 Feb 2025I had the grilled salmon teriyaki. My husband had sushi. Everything was very good. I didn't realize that the salmon came with rice, vegetables and salad, so it was pretty filling. The wine and cocktails were very good. The server was very attentive...just the right amount. The only negative was that it was cold outside and whenever the door opened, it brought in a draft. Our table was closest to the door. Next time, I'll ask for a different spot.More infoSushi ZanmaiPrice: Moderate• Sushi• Boulder•4.6
