We’re beefing up our menu—naturally.

Ocean Prime’s newest feature is a delicious Black Falls Natural Angus® strip steak. I recently had the opportunity to travel directly to the source and visit one of the Black Falls Ranches in La Salle, Colorado—right in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

I’m very proud to announce that two of Ocean Prime’s bar chefs have been named their regions’ ‘Most Imaginative Bartender 2012’ in a competition sponsored by Bombay Sapphire, GQ and the United States Bartenders’ Guild.Read More >

I love oysters. They’re an awesome bar snack, they go great with beer, wine and cocktails and they’re good for you. I personally enjoy them with good Champagne or an ice cold microbrew. It’s great to try eating and serving oysters in various preparations like Oysters Rockefeller or fried and topped with tangy remoulade on a po’ boy, but the popularity of enjoying raw oysters on the half shell is at an all-time high.

It’s easier than you think to choose a beverage that will pair perfectly with the briny richness of most any oyster. There are numerous types of oysters with varying flavors and finishes, so you have a wide-ranging selection of choices to pair with those tasty little mollusks.Read More >

One of the best summer recipes at Ocean Prime is the Halibut with Summer Vegetable Sauté. People are always asking me for the recipe, so I thought I’d share it with you. This is the recipe for one serving, so you can easily adjust it to serve your guests.Read More >

Ocean Prime is growing again!

I am very proud to announce that we are opening a brand new Ocean Prime at Keystone Crossing in Indianapolis on June 7, 2012. This is our ninth location and our first foray into Indy. We are so excited to be part of such an energized part of town.

In addition to General Manager Greg Sage and Executive Chef Shawn O’Brien, we’ve added some outstanding Indy Associates to the Ocean Prime team.  If you’ve not dined with us at Ocean Prime, I know you’ll become raving fans of our extraordinary people – they are a huge reason we’re able to grow and execute at the highest level.

I look forward to meeting many of you soon – thank you for welcoming us to Indy!Read More >

There's nothing quite as relaxing in the springtime as sipping on an ice-cold cocktail outdoors. One of my favorites is the La Poire Elderflower Martini. This cocktail is refreshing and delicious with a perfect balance of sweet and tart.
