Modern seafood and steak concept forms a partnership between Block Real Estate Services and Cameron Mitchell Restaurants

Kansas City, Mo. January 6, 2021 – 46 Penn Centre, the new 14-story, high image corporate office building on the Country Club Plaza, announced today that it has reeled in acclaimed restaurant Ocean Prime.

Named Ocean Prime Restaurant + Prime Social Rooftop, the new concept includes not only the restaurant, but a new extension to the brand with a rooftop lounge, the first in the Ocean Prime family. The restaurant will feature artfully designed interiors with a la carte seating, private dining and bar, while Prime Social will welcome guests to the building’s enclosed rooftop, which also has outdoor seating and a fire pit.

Kansas City is the newest location for Ocean Prime, from award-winning Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR). It will also become the first location in Missouri, in a management-investment partnership between the restaurant group and investors associated with Block Real Estate Services principals.

Construction will begin in the next 60 days and Ocean Prime Restaurant + Prime Social Rooftop are slated to open in fall 2021. This will be the 17th Ocean Prime restaurant since the 2008 launch of the concept in Columbus, Ohio. There are currently 16 locations coast-to-coast, across 12 states and the District of Columbia. 

“At the outset of our plans for the building, we set our sights on landing a world class restaurant for 46 Penn Centre,” said Ken Block, managing principal of Block Real Estate Services. “Ocean Prime is one of the finest restaurants in the U.S. and is the perfect partner to provide that elevated guest experience. It gives our tenants even more amenities at their fingertips, as they will soon have an in-house restaurant and rooftop lounge to entertain their clients and employees.”

Cameron Mitchell, founder and CEO of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, said, “we look forward to partnering with Block Real Estate Services, the premier Kansas City real estate developer. Our companies share similar values, including developing projects with the highest quality and design in mind.”

Mitchell continued, “this location at 46 Penn Centre allowed us, for the first time, to expand Ocean Prime with a lounge concept that was inspired by a popular CMR rooftop lounge in Columbus, OH. Prime Social will be the only rooftop venue with expansive views of the Plaza and surrounding area.”

Ocean Prime will consist of 8,500 square feet of space, including three private dining rooms and a peninsula bar. Prime Social will be a 5,500 sq. ft rooftop lounge, creating a space that is unlike any other in the Kansas City market.

“We are excited to expand the Ocean Prime concept, bringing both classic and modern fare,” said Mitch Miller, vice president of Ocean Prime. “Our restaurant is known for its vibrant energy, made-from-scratch menu offerings, seasonal ingredients and an extensive menu to suit every palate, including prime steaks, chops, chicken and seafood.  Our signature cocktails, from classics to original creations, and extensive wine list are a highlight of our guests’ experience. Prime Social will be a cool rooftop oasis and an ideal spot for guests to sip, savor and surround themselves within the cityscape.”

Ocean Prime restaurant locations are selected for their proximity to businesses and residents in desirable markets around the country. 46 Penn Centre is ideal since it is a brand-new building located on the world-renowned Country Club Plaza, surrounded by 12 hotels with a total of 2,305 rooms within a half mile of the 46 Penn Centre site. 

The entire 15-block district, with more than 150 shops and dozens of fine restaurants, makes the Country Club Plaza Kansas City’s premier retail, dining and entertainment destination.

The Iconic Restaurant Is Set To Make Waves as Kansas City’s Newest Dining Hotspot

KANSAS CITY, Mo (February 8, 2022) – Ocean Prime, an award-winning modern American restaurant and lounge, located on the third floor of the Plaza’s 46 Penn Centre, will open to guests today. Ocean Prime is the second of two concepts from the renowned Cameron Mitchell Restaurants to launch in Kansas City.  It is the 17th Ocean Prime location.  

The nationally acclaimed Ocean Prime delivers an extraordinary dining experience with stunning settings, an impressive menu of seafood and prime cuts of steak, signature cocktails, a Wine Spectator-honored wine list and truly genuine hospitality.

With an expansive 8,500 square feet of space, including three private dining rooms and a peninsula bar, Kansas City’s Ocean Prime offers an extensive menu, including seafood, prime steaks, chops, chicken, and sushi. 

Members of Ocean Prime management team commissioned local Kansas City artists to create one-of-a-kind works of art to complement the warm and modern décor.  The centerpiece sculpture, called ‘KC Realized’, is by Kansas City native, Jake Proffit. It offers a visual depiction of Kansas City’s geological evolution.

“We have felt the energy from the neighborhood with the opening of Prime Social and we are thrilled to give Kansas Citians another Cameron Mitchell dining experience with Ocean Prime Kansas City,” said Cameron Mitchell, Founder and CEO of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants. “Ocean Prime Kansas City will be an extraordinary dining experience while being unique to Kansas City.”  

Under the direction of Executive Chef Leo Harvey, Jr., Ocean Prime’s from-scratch kitchen will provide both Kansas City locals and visitors alike with a premium dining experience that includes the highest quality ingredients, as well as simple, pure, local and regional flavors.  Previously, he was the Executive Chef at Ocean Prime Washington D.C. and. has been a part of the Cameron Mitchell Restaurants’ family since 2016.

Renowned Restaurant Company Makes Changes to Executive Team in the New Year

COLUMBUS, Ohio (January 13, 2020) – Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) is kicking off the new year with some fresh faces on the leadership team. The Columbus-based restaurant company is pleased to announce that Melissa Johnson, Katie Laudick, Mitch Miller and Jim Sauter have been promoted to executive positions, effective January 1, 2020.

“Cameron and I are extremely proud to have these talented individuals join the executive team as they are shining examples of our company’s genuine hospitality and associate-first culture,” said David Miller, president and chief operating officer for CMR. “I look forward to their contributions as we continue to grow and push the envelope of restaurant innovation.”

Melissa Johnson
Melissa Johnson is now vice president of Cameron Mitchell Premier Events and Community Relations for CMR. She oversees the company’s catering division and consistently looks for growth opportunities. She also represents the company in the community by discovering ways to get involved and give back. Johnson, a 22-year CMR veteran who helped launch the catering company in 2001, has helped shape it into the foremost catering and special events business in central Ohio. 

Katie Laudick
Katie Laudick has been named vice president of human resources at CMR, focusing on adding new talent to the company’s associate-first culture as well as lifting up current associates to succeed. After joining the CMR family as a server, Laudick accepted a human resources internship at the home office in 2001. She has since held various roles in human resources including, most recently, senior director, and has helped shape the team into what it is today through her dedication and focus on self-development.  Laudick will oversee all human resources practices for the nearly 5,000 associates of CMR and its sister company, Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern. 

Mitch Miller
As the vice president of Ocean Prime, Mitch Miller oversees 16 locations across the country. Miller provides strategic direction for the brand and leads a team of managers, directors and corporate and regional chefs who handle the daily restaurant operations. Miller has held numerous managerial positions within CMR including serving as the dining room manager at Martini Modern Italian, and general manager of Cap City in Gahanna, Mitchell’s Ocean Club and Molly Woo’s. Miller was then promoted to regional director and later, director of operations for Ocean Prime before moving into his current role. Miller is praised by his fellow associates for his strong leadership, especially during restaurant openings.

Jim Sauter
Jim Sauter has been named vice president of the Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern. Working closely with President and Founder Gary Callicoat, Sauter provides strategic direction for the brand and leads a team of managers and directors who oversee all restaurant operations. Sauter first joined the CMR team in 2004 and held numerous positions including a pantry and grill cook at Cap City in Grandview, general manager at Cap City in Gahanna and assistant general manager for Mitchell’s Ocean Club. He transitioned to working for Rusty Bucket in 2007 and has been an integral part of the growth of Rusty Bucket into a nationally-recognized brand.

As part of the executive changes, Diane Smullen (Finance) and Chuck Davis (Human Resources) will transition off of the leadership team and assume new advisory roles within the company. Smullen will provide strategic guidance on corporate affairs and investor relations for the company, while Davis will assist with advising human resources. Gary Callicoat (President and Founder of Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern) will transition off of the leadership team and into a Founder’s role.

WHO
Ocean Prime, a nationally-acclaimed modern American restaurant and lounge from the award-winning Cameron Mitchell Restaurants.

WHAT
Earlier this year, associates at 15 Ocean Prime locations participated in bourbon blending workshops with a representative from Woodford Reserve, creating one-of-a-kind selections to be served in-house. Woodford Reserve sent each participating Ocean Prime restaurant three single barrel samples of Woodford Reserve, which were then blended at the associates’ discretion into three two-barrel batch blends (the smallest small-batch of bourbon possible). From those blends, they then selected their favorite batch blend of Woodford Reserve, which is now only available at that particular Ocean Prime.

Woodford Reserve filled 15 barrels with their custom creations and aged them over several months. All of the barrels will share the same complex, well-rounded flavor associated with Woodford Reserve but each will be slightly distinct.

“We offer a unique experience at every Ocean Prime and our beverage program is no exception,” says Andrea Hoover, Beverage Director. “Each blend represents an expression of the local taste and is not available anywhere else.”

Ocean Prime is the first restaurant to participate in an offsite bourbon blending program with Woodford Reserve, and the associates are excited to showcase their custom creations to guests.  Pours can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a signature OP Manhattan. Creating the perfect chill and melted water ratio in the OP Manhattan is a large format ice cube branded with the Ocean Prime logo.

Prices will vary by location.
