The place

Ocean Prime is an upscale steak and seafood restaurant in the Westshore district of Tampa, located at 2205 N Westshore Blvd. The restaurant is part of the Cameron Mitchell fine-dining group and features a sophisticated dining room, a separate lounge with live music most nights, and an extensive wine list. The menu blends prime steaks, fresh seafood, and a full sushi program. Signature dishes include the Surf & Turf, Sea Scallops, and the Berries & Bubbles cocktail. Ocean Prime accepts reservations and offers private dining rooms for groups. Valet parking is available, and the dress code is business casual. The restaurant is open for dinner nightly and lunch on weekdays.

Ocean Prime brings polished, modern American fine dining to Tampa's Westshore business district, just minutes from the airport and International Plaza. The dining room is dim, supper-club style — leather banquettes, low pendant lighting, and a buzzing lounge where a pianist or jazz trio plays most evenings. It's a special-occasion spot that consistently lands on Tampa's best-of lists for steakhouses, business dinners, and date nights.

The menu leans on USDA Prime steaks, sushi from a dedicated bar, and East Coast seafood. Don't miss the Sea Scallops in champagne-truffle sauce, the 16 oz Filet, the Surf & Turf, or the warm Lobster Bisque finished tableside. The Berries & Bubbles cocktail — served with dry ice — is the most-photographed drink in the room. Sides like Truffle Mac & Cheese and Wild Mushrooms are built to share.

Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends and during convention season. Complimentary valet parking is offered at the front entrance, and private dining rooms accommodate parties from 10 to 80. The lounge is walk-in friendly with its own bar menu, and Ocean Prime offers takeout through its website. Dress code is business casual.

One of the best dining experiences we've had in Tampa. The scallops were perfect, the filet was cooked exactly to temp, and our server was attentive without hovering. The live music in the lounge made the whole evening feel special.

Came here for a business dinner and it absolutely delivered. The Surf & Turf was outstanding and the Berries & Bubbles cocktail is a must — it shows up at every nearby table. Valet was quick and the private dining setup was perfect for our group of 12.

Celebrated our anniversary here and the staff went above and beyond. They surprised us with a complimentary dessert plate and a handwritten note. The sea bass was incredible and the wine list is huge. Will be back for sure.
