During our recent visit to Las Vegas, we were thrilled to see that one of our favorite restaurants in Beverly Hills, Ocean Prime, had just opened in the heart of the Las Vegas strip. It was a nice surprise to see a giant marquee announcing the arrival of Ocean Prime in fabulous Las Vegas. Vegas just got better!
My friends always ask me for recommendations on where they should eat when in Las Vegas, and I’ve always have to contemplate that one. But no longer! Situated four stories overlooking the iconic Las Vegas Strip is Ocean Prime. Ocean Prime delivers everything you want in restaurant when you come to Vegas. You’ll have an enchanting experience with grand settings, a mouth-watering chef-curated menu, Vegas-style signature handcrafted cocktails, and a Wine Spectator-honored wine list.
The menu is both classic, with dishes you’ve always loved, but elevated, and modern chef-driven cuisine. Order an array of hand-rolled sushi and nigiri along with Hamachi Crudo and Tuna Tartar, indulgent seafood presentations like the wildly popular “smoking shellfish tower,” fresh seafood flown in daily, juicy, mouthwatering steaks, decadent side dishes and even made-from-scratch desserts.
