Description

Ocean Prime is another notch on the upscale chain restaurant concept, with locations in various Southern cities and part of a larger portfolio of similar restaurants all over the country owned by the same group. As such, you'll be handing over several Andrew Jacksons to dine inside a mall on very safe cuisine that utilizes fresh and premium ingredients, but that would never be mistaken for chef-driven fare from a cutting-edge eatery. The menu goes as basic as a turkey club sandwich ($11) and Caesar salad ($9) and tops at fanciness with truffled deviled eggs ($11). In between, there are classic steakhouse and seafood dishes such as a seven-ounce petite filet mignon ($33) and blackened snapper served with wilted spinach and jalapeño-corn tartar sauce ($35). Sides include very unexciting wild rice pilaf with dried cranberries and almonds ($9) and candied yams -- actually served with marshmallows the way your aunt might do it for thanksgiving ($9). Décor likewise seeks to embody classy-upscale without treading into trendiness. The oversized, circular, orange cloth chandeliers; white tablecloths; and ambient blue lighting offer an elegant anomaly in a busy mall, but you never quite forget where you are.
