   One of the best experience I’ve had. My Server is one very amazing. He was very accommodating with our peanut allergy and the whole day. He make sure that we were doing well. It was my boyfriend‘s birthday as well and the dessert they provided was amazing and the food overall I will definitely recommend and will definitely be back

   Every time we are in Chicago my wife and I usually have dinner there. We have never been disappointed. This time we went to celebrate her birthday and again had a wonderful experience. The food and drinks where outstanding and our waiters where awesome. Bringing a cake with a candle was a very special touch and is was greatly appreciated !!

   Ocean Prime always offers amazing service, and we really enjoyed the champagne toast at the end of the night!

    We had a reservation for 10 PM on December 31 for 6 people. When I booked, the restaurant staff called to confirm the reservation. They emphasized their grace period is 15 minutes and that our entire party needed to be present to be seated. We agreed and confirmed. We arrived at 9:55 PM, but upon arrival, we were informed that there were several parties ahead of us and that we would be called shortly. We were escorted to the hotel lobby, where many others were also waiting for their reservations. Despite arriving on time, we waited for over an hour and were repeatedly told that our table was not ready. Frustrated, I finally approached one of the staff members to ask if we were going to spend New Year’s Eve in the hotel lobby or if we’d actually be seated at our table. About 5–7 minutes later, we were finally called and seated—over an hour past our reserved time. That said, we ended up enjoying our evening. Our table had a great view, allowing us to see and enjoy the fireworks. We also received complimentary glasses of champagne for the midnight countdown, which was a nice touch. Despite the chaos, our waiter did a good job. We appreciated that he made it clear multiple times that a 20% gratuity was already included, so there was no confusion about tipping. As for the food: •The lobster pasta was amazing. •The lobster bisque was too “lobstery” and somewhat greasy. •The French onion soup was good but overly salty. •The steak, which cost over $60, was bland and didn’t come with any sides or sauce, which was disappointing. •The cocktails were pretty decent. • Oyster were amazing. Tasted fresh. • Ocean roll also very good. In the end, while the initial experience was frustrating, we were happy with the service and the overall celebration.
