Our server had a poor, disinterested attitude. After dropping our cocktails, she seemed annoyed that we were not immediately ready to order. Once we received our food no one came back to check on us for a long time. My husband's cocktail was made incorrectly. Also, I ordered a glass of the Trefethen Chardonnay which is listed for $16 on the menu but then we were charged much more for the wine. When we asked about it, the server said that she assumed we wanted the 9 oz pour which was extremely deceptive as she did not ask which size pour I preferred. When we got our bill, she hovered over us with a credit card machine that only offered gratuity starting at 20%. There was no opportunity to rev...
We had a fantastic meal overall, but the prices were unreasonably high considering the service and ambiance. Dining out in DC is becoming increasingly expensive thanks to Prop 82. As the implementation continues, we can expect prices to rise even further. For example, at Ocean Prime, they are now charging a ridiculous $9 for a side of Bernaise sauce. Maybe it's time for a change in the tipping culture, but not like this. Our server was well-trained and knowledgeable, and the food was expertly prepared. If the prices were a bit more reasonable, we would happily come back.
Everything was good until I received my food. I ordered the lamb chops I could only eat 2 out of the 4 I was give because the lamb chops had so much fat on them. I made my concern known to the waiter and she informed me the chef would make me 2 more. We received the bill and our to go bag to get home with no lamb chops for $61 I was livid. I won’t be back because of this issue.
We were in DC the weekend of our anniversary and decided to celebrate with a dinner at Ocean Prime. We had an outstanding experience food was excellent and perfectly prepared, our server was warm and professional and the cocktails were expertly made. Really, a great experience will recommend to others and will be back on future trips!

Overall the food and service were great. The restaurant had several dusty ledges in need of attention, which was disappointing. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience.
Chris and Jessica provided excellent recommendations and amazing service. My wife and I enjoyed our dining experience. Ocean Prime is our favorite restaurant.
Experience was excellent. Celebrating son graduating from high school. Only disappointment was the food came to the table lukewarm not hot.
The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are great, but the prices are too high. There are more affordable choices available.
