   **Review of Ocean Prime Steakhouse** Nestled in the heart of the Cranford, Ocean Prime Steakhouse is nothing short of a culinary gem that redefines the steakhouse experience. From the moment you step through its inviting doors, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegance and warmth, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. **Ambiance:** The interior boasts rich, dark wood accents, and soft lighting, that envelops you in comfort. The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, making it ideal for both romantic dinners and celebratory gatherings. The subtle background music adds to the overall charm without overpowering conversation. **Service:** The service is impeccable. From the host who greets you with a genuine smile to the knowledgeable servers who guide you through the extensive menu, every staff member embodies professionalism and attentiveness. They are eager to recommend wine pairings and are well-versed in the nuances of each cut of meat, ensuring you feel valued and well taken care of. **The Steak:** Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the steak. Ocean Prime offers a selection of premium cuts, including ribeye, filet mignon, and New York strip, all sourced from the finest farms. Each steak is aged to perfection and cooked to your desired doneness with a masterful touch. The ribeye, with its marbling and rich flavor, practically melts in your mouth. The filet mignon is so tender it doesn’t require a knife. Each bite is a celebration of flavor, enhanced by their signature seasoning that strikes the perfect balance without overpowering the meat's natural taste. **Sides and Accompaniments:** Complementing the steaks are an array of delectable sides. The mashed potatoes are creamy and indulgent, while the roasted Brussels sprouts add a delightful crunch. The house-made sauces, especially the chimichurri, elevate the steak experience to new heights. **Dessert:** Don’t skip dessert! The chocolate lava cake is a must-

   Ocean Prime provided an outstanding dining experience last night. The steaks were perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor, while the sides were just as impressive, showcasing thoughtful preparation and creativity. The service was impeccable—attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The ambiance was sophisticated yet comfortable, setting the tone for a wonderful evening. A top-notch choice for a special meal!

   Food was very good . I was underwhelmed with staff . No coat check so coats hanging over chairs . Not a good look . Staff looked bored, bartender didn’t know how to make a paper plane ( just google it ) , asked for help with wine and not helpful at all . Came around with complimentary shot ( think it was limoncello) tasted horrible ! Planning to go back in 6 months to see any changes . Cranford needs an upscale restaurant like this one hopefully it’ll sort itself out .
