We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!

I have been a patron of Ocean Prime for years in the Columbus Ohio location, but I moved to the DMV and my experiences at the DC location have been subpar. Steven single handedly turned that around last night. It was my brother’s birthday, and he has special needs (Downs Syndrome). Our waiter, Steven went above and beyond in making sure he was catered to, and the rest of the table too. He checked in regularly and we didn’t want for anything. 10/10 across the board.

Upon entering the restaurant, it took a while for someone to greet and acknowledge my family, which was a bit disappointing. However, once we were seated, everything was amazing. The food was excellent, and the ambience was quite pleasant. Overall, a wonderful dining experience despite the initial wait.

Our server Eleanor was excellent. Wagyu fried rice was disappointing and not value for money, but sushi and sashimi were very good.
