    This was by far the best dining experience I’ve had in Denver. The food was absolutely amazing and the ambiance was so curated. We sat at the sushi counter and celebrated my best friends birthday and our chef was the best! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great sushi dinner with a great vibe.

    Celebrated my mother's birthday at Ocean Prime and it was absolutely stellar! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Our server was not just attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable, offering thoughtful suggestions for both food and drinks that enhanced our dining experience. The food was outstanding, with perfect timing between courses. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented, living up to the restaurant's high-end reputation. What really made the evening special was how the staff went above and beyond to celebrate my mother's birthday. They surprised her with a complimentary slice of chocolate cake, and our server even took extra care to capture perfect photos of our celebration. Little touches like these, combined with the exceptional service and superb food quality, made for an unforgettable birthday celebration. The server's genuine enthusiasm to ensure we had the best possible experience was evident throughout the evening. This is fine dining done right - where attention to detail meets warm, personalized service. Ocean Prime proved to be the perfect choice for a special occasion. They didn't just serve us dinner; they helped create lasting memories. Highly recommend for any celebration or special evening out!
