I had a lovely lunch here with friends and yet another wonderful introduction to my new city.

Even on a warm Fort Lauderdale afternoon, we were able to comfortably enjoy lunch outside overlooking the Intracoastal. A crisp glass of Chardonnay, palm trees, boats passing by — I’m still getting used to the fact that this is now just minutes from home.

We started with the shrimp cocktail, with large, plump shrimp dramatically presented over dry ice, creating a smoky effect at the table. Beautiful presentation and a fun way to start lunch.

Our server was incredibly friendly and gave us several helpful recommendations. I chose the Blackened Salmon Salad, which was fresh and beautifully prepared. The salmon was tender and perfectly cooked, with just enough blackened seasoning to give it plenty of flavor without overpowering the fish. The fresh greens, strawberries, walnuts and cheese made it a perfect choice for a warm afternoon.

One practical bonus: parking was incredibly easy. Valet is available, but there’s also a garage directly across from the restaurant, which made arriving and leaving effortless.

Great food, a crisp glass of wine, good company, and this view just minutes from home — another lovely introduction to my new city. I could definitely get used to Fort Lauderdale lunches like this. 🌴🥂

This restaurant is a beautiful place off the water, decor is very nice. My wife and I came here to take part in restaurant month in Fort Lauderdale. Their menu for the event was a surf and turf with 2 sides and dessert. I ordered the lobster bisque and she ordered the crab cake, both were very nice portions and delicious. The surf and turf was amazing, steak was cooked perfectly and lobster was as well. Great service and beautiful views, definitely will be coming back.

This is one of my favorite new places! What a spectacular room! The views and the decor are incredible. However the food and service was impeccable as well! We went twice while in Fort Lauderdale ~ once for dinner at the downstairs bar, and once for lunch at a table. Both were divine! The goat cheese ravioli appetizer is just beyond 😍! Everything was actually incredible. The bartender ~Frazier was fantastic and attentive. and our lunchtime server was excellent, as we were in a hurry and she really did her best to get us out on time. We didn’t feel rushed and the food came very quickly and everything was perfect so we made our appointment. And don’t miss the upstairs bar etc….it’s literally gorgeous as well and very lively! This will definitely be one of our go to places when we are in Fort Lauderdale 🎉💖

Ocean Prime exceeded every expectation! The food was absolutely spectacular. Every dish was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented.

A huge thank you to our server, Diana, who made our evening so enjoyable. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and provided exceptional service from start to finish. You can tell she truly cares about her guests.

To make the experience even more special, Chef Jason came out and surprised us with a complimentary tasting of their Carrot Cake. (Only one of us likes carrot cake while we ordered the delicious Butter Cake) That personal touch really stood out and showed the level of hospitality this restaurant provides.

Between the outstanding food, impeccable service, and thoughtful attention to detail, this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Fort Lauderdale. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Ocean Prime!

We went for our Anniversary dinner last Friday.. Checked in and went to the bar upstairs to get a drink while we waited for our table. It was supper packed by the bar. We barley had any room to order a drink. We waited maybe 15mins before we were seated. Not to bad. We were seated outside upstairs. We arrived in perfect timing to see the sunset. It was beautiful. You have the boat marina all around so the views are pretty.

I ordered a martini and it was not that good b/c they didn't have the fruit so that made a hug difference. For food we ordered the Twin Lobster Tail and the Lobster Linguini. They were delicious. The pretzel bread was also very yummy.

Overall the experience was good. It is a high end restaurant so be prepared to pay high prices. Need to make reservations.
