    Why go

    Ocean Prime is worth booking for a polished Midtown business dinner, celebration, or pre-theater meal where steak, seafood, sushi, a serious wine program help satisfy a mixed group. It is less compelling for diners seeking a quiet, chef-driven room, but strong for occasions that need range, private dining, a dressed-up setting.

    About Ocean Prime

    Book Ocean Prime in New York City when the decision calls for fine-dining steak and seafood with sushi. The basics are direct: the restaurant is listed at about $90 per person, the dress code is business casual, the cuisine spans steak, seafood, sushi.

    The value proposition is range. The menu anchors include the Smoking Shellfish Tower, Chilean Sea Bass, White Truffle Caviar Deviled Eggs, Sea Scallops with Parmesan Risotto, Ten Layer Carrot Cake. That makes Ocean Prime a practical choice for diners who want a polished steak-and-seafood meal without limiting the table to steak alone.

    A New York City room for steak, seafood, sushi

    Ocean Prime is best understood as a fine-dining steak-and-seafood restaurant with sushi rather than as a narrowly traditional steakhouse. The cuisine gives the table several directions to take the meal, from shellfish and seafood to steak and sushi.

    Dress business casual and plan around the published hours: Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 10 PM, Saturday from 4 PM to 10 PM, Sunday from 4 PM to 9 PM. The weekday schedule supports daytime and evening meals, while the weekend schedule begins in the late afternoon.

    One confirmed recognition is the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2026. That is a relevant signal for a fine-dining steak-and-seafood restaurant, though the core reason to book remains the combination of steak, seafood, sushi, business-casual dress, New York City convenience.

    Order across steak, seafood, sushi rather than treating it like a classic steakhouse

    First-timers should use the range of the cuisine. The named dishes give a useful path through the meal: White Truffle Caviar Deviled Eggs or the Smoking Shellfish Tower to start, Chilean Sea Bass or Sea Scallops with Parmesan Risotto for seafood, Ten Layer Carrot Cake for dessert.

    The strongest ordering strategy is to avoid making the meal one-note. If the table includes different appetites, build around the steak-and-seafood identity and add sushi where it fits. The price point is about $90 per person, so plan the meal as a fine-dining booking rather than a casual stop.

    The practical call: choose the time based on the occasion

    Use the hours to guide the reservation. Monday through Friday, Ocean Prime is open from 11:30 AM to 10 PM, which gives diners more flexibility for daytime or evening plans. On Saturday, it is open from 4 PM to 10 PM, on Sunday from 4 PM to 9 PM.
