I have several food restrictions which has destroyed my interest in eating. Ocean Prime has “gluten modified” items that worked for me. I had forgotten how wonderful fine dining can be. The spare ribs with scallops appetizer was delicious. My husband had the Teriyaki Salmon which was cooked to perfection. He had the Butter cake for dessert and the waiter got me some mixed berries. All and all it was an excellent choice.

Noise level was a little high for the atmosphere. It certainly would not be appropriate for a romantic dinner, and my wife and I have had a much more normal noise level at the Del Frisco's in NY. Other than the over the top noise level, it was a great night. Food and service were excellent, as usual.

The raw oysters, fried oysters, Addie’s mussels, Jambalaya, and Lo Que Los Gatos Sueñan were delicious. The Caesar Salad had no flavor…none. No anchovy flavor…
