What the Critics Say
"Millennial supper club with dazzling bling in décor and drinks. More glitz in ginger salmon, Kobe burgers and truffle deviled eggs."
-Golden Brand, Florida Trend's Golden Spoon Awards, 2012
"With six locations in five states, the upscale chain Ocean Prime deserves at least a sliver of the credit for the mainstreaming of the Prohibition-era cocktail, with its Cucumber Gimlets, Whiskey Clovers and Strawberry Smashes. But its signature show-stopper is still one of its silliest drinks: The Berries & Bubbles. Chunks of dry ice are added to a rich purple mix of citrus vodka, Champagne, marinated berries and house-made sour mix, and the end result is a raucously bubbling brew that's guaranteed to turn heads around the bar. The fruit flavor is intense, the bubbles add texture and the dry ice gives it a strangely intoxicating aroma (and creates ice on the stem). It's pulpy, it's preposterous ... and somehow, it makes perfect sense."

"Ocean Prime gives us the best of both land and sea. But in addition to stellar seafood the space itself is STUNNING. Soaring ceilings, soft curves, tactile textures and artistic lighting make this a feast for the eyes as much as the stomach; but don't be jealous, stomach – crab-crusted blue tilapia and Chilean sea bass in a champagne truffle sauce are just a taste of what's in store for you."

"Ocean Prime hits its stride as a top-tier seafood spot."
-Detroit Jewish News
"It’s a gorgeous restaurant, worth a visit for the ambience alone. It has a bar that’s one of the most stunning around: beautiful, elegant and hip."

Elegant Surf and Turf Restaurant a Throwback to Supper Clubs
Our meal was nothing less than outstanding. Every single morsel of food that we bit into was perfection. Everything is served hot and nothing was over-seasoned or too fussy.
As for the staff, service was impeccable and personable. As we sat on the patio, we watched as curious passersby turned their heads, curiously watching the lively patio scene. Ocean Prime is a throwback to a time of sophisticated supper clubs, where the vibe is hip and the food and cocktails are amazing. **4 STARS**
-The Oakland Press
It's Ocean Prime time in Oakland Co.
Crowds are elegant and waits can be long at new steak-and-seafood spot. Everywhere you look, there's another beautiful design feature, from towering panels of sheer white fabric washed in blue light, to rich woods covering the floors and walls, to a glass-enclosed wine vault stretching to the ceiling of the 30-foot-high foyer.
You have to hand it to Ohio restaurateur Cameron Mitchell, who wanted to create a "modern American supper club" with retro touches and contemporary attitude. Ocean Prime is exactly what the company said it would be: "sexy, sophisticated" and a "place to see and be seen."

"The modern American supper club" with a luxurious menu focused on fresh seafood and fine steaks. For style and scene, this is one of metro Detroit's hottest restaurants.
