I highly recommend dining at Ocean Prime in Washington, DC. The service is impressive. Stephen, our server, excels in customer service. He made dining and celebrating our Wedding Anniversary a wonderful experience. The food (recommend the Filet, Salmon, and Calamari) is attractively plated and flavorsome. The decor is attractive, and the lighting is perfect for a relaxing experience. Ocean Prime is everything you could want for enjoyable dining.

The charred broccolini is not to be missed. You will double think it because what’s so special about a vegetable at a sushi restaurant right? Wrong. Definitely get the broccolini.

I dined here as a solo diner and usually you wouldn’t get the best service because the servers want larger parties, but this was not the case here. Zach made sure I was taken care of. This is a rarity as someone who travels a lot alone and has experienced the bad end of dining alone. I’ve had a few friends and family dine here when they visited and loved it so I’m glad I was able to get the same experience they had as a solo diner.
