This is my third visit to Ocean Prime. The service is very consistent of the customer service, very impressive. The server was excellent, when I requested more ginger for my sushi. The waiters can be uplifting with more cheering "glad to have you"opening. Only one out of three of my prior waiters was cheerful with a smile and made some recommendations. By the way the African American lady a waitress with such great character, she was awsome.
