Ocean Prime

I was very excited to have the opportunity of dining here for a quick lunch. There are a few locations, and when I was last in Boston, I was unable to experience the Boston location, but I felt fortunate enough to experience the Chicago Ocean Prime Location. The location of the restaurant is in a prime spot within the Downtown Chicago area that affords them the opportunity to provide you with fantastic seating options that look out over the city. The menu is very elaborate with several options in spirits, proteins, dining options, and varying entrees. They do have the ability to accommodate a food allergy, including a gluten allergy, but with full disclosure, I did have a slight reaction to something I consumed while dining with Ocean Prime. The staff was made aware of my exposure and was sincerely apologetic for my discomfort.

Charlie was excellent. OP is very accommodating for Gluten Free. The short rib and scallop starter was delicious. Wish it was an entree. The scallop entree wasn't as good as we remembered from a couple years ago. Risotto was too al dente. The English peas tasted raw and the flavor wasn't balanced. The grouper entree was fabulous! Creme Brulee was the best we have ever had. Every cocktail was amazing. We definitely had a wonderful meal.

We had a wonderful birthday experience at Ocean Prime and can't wait to return! The highlights were the smoking shellfish tower, blue cheese crusted filet, the branzino (super yum!!!), White truffle caviar deviled eggs (definitely will repeat this one) and the fun cocktails! My favorite part of the meal was the Jalapeno au gratin potatoes! Service was wonderful thoughtful and great attention to detail 😊 gluten free items are clearly marked and many of the items on the menu were clearly marked for food allergies. The view from the main dining room was lovely and they also had outdoor patio seating.
