    This is my second time at this location and it never disappoints. The appetizers and entrees were amazing. & the drinks were delicious especially the guava margarita. Sophia our server was nice, friendly and managed our large party great. She recommended a lot of good choices on the menu for us. We were able to bring our own cake for one of the birthday guest at the table which was great because most restaurants say no or charge a cutting fee but not Earls. We will definitely be back.

    10/10 experience at Ocean Prime! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Ruben was an incredible server—attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire meal. Mark G., one of the managers, went above and beyond to make our experience truly special. His attention to detail and hospitality really stood out and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The food, service, atmosphere, and overall experience were all exceptional. It’s not often you leave a restaurant feeling like every single detail was done right, but Ocean Prime absolutely delivered. We will definitely be coming back! Huge thank you to Ruben and Mark G. for making our night so memorable. 10/10 all around
