There are some restaurants that are as memorable as they are beautiful, and Ocean Prime Fort Lauderdale represents this and so much more, as you can take in the breeze and a waterfront view.
My recent visit on a Monday night to Ocean Prime Fort Lauderdale, which is located along the iconic Las Olas Marina, turned out to be one of those nights, one where those types of memories were made accompanied by a classy, delicious and perfectly prepared dinner.
With my close friend Melissa by my side, we took in the breeze dancing across the waterfront and the glow of the marina lights flickering against the restaurant’s sleek, modern façade.
It’s the kind of dinner that feels both indulgent and comforting, like treating yourself without needing a special occasion, and one that invites you to come visit on any night of your choice.
Ocean Prime, one of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants’ signature concepts, is known for its polished, upscale energy, and Fort Lauderdale’s location leans fully into the luxury of its waterfront setting.
Whether you’re dropping in for drinks at the bar, arriving by boat, or settling into one of the plush dining room tables overlooking the marina, the restaurant gives you that unmistakable “night out” feeling from the moment you step inside.
Melissa and I kicked off our dinner the best way possible. And that was with a toast with the Bubbles & Berries cocktail, a bright, effervescent sip that balances sweetness with a little grown-up glamour. It set the tone immediately. As we chatted and unwound, the staff brought out a gorgeous lobster appetizer, rich and decadent without being heavy, the kind of dish that reminds you why seafood tastes better near the water.
Of course, Ocean Prime’s calling card is its steaks, and they did not disappoint. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully cooked, and accompanied by the restaurant’s signature elevated service, the steaks made our Monday night feel like a celebration.
Beyond the memorable bites, Ocean Prime Fort Lauderdale shines in atmosphere and execution. The restaurant offers a stunning indoor-outdoor design, refined coastal textures, and an elevated menu that blends seafood favorites with prime steakhouse classics.
Add in a lively bar scene, sophisticated cocktails, and an unbeatable location at the Las Olas Marina, and you’ve got one of Fort Lauderdale’s true destination dining spots.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic date night, a luxurious waterfront dinner with friends, or a celebratory evening after a long week, Ocean Prime delivers an experience that lingers long after the last sip of bubbles.
Ocean Prime is the perfect place to treat yourself, especially when you’re craving a sparkling cocktail, waterfront views, and an unforgettable night accompanied with a great steak dinner and beyond.
For Melissa and me, it was exactly what a breezy Florida Monday night should be, especially an impromptu one to catch up. Relaxing, delicious, and full of little moments that felt special.
