Ocean Prime is Officially Open for Lunch, Dinner and Prime Hour

DALLAS, Texas – Ocean Prime, the Modern American Supper Club, has opened its doors in Rosewood Court on the corner of Cedar Springs Road and Pearl Street. The restaurant hosted practice dinners last week and has already become a prime attraction for those who attended. Ocean Prime also introduced “Prime Hour,” during which an assortment of appetizers and cocktails are offered at special prices every weekday from 4 to 6 p.m.

“Prime really says it all when it comes to our menu,” said Brandon Davis, general manager of Ocean Prime. “And our handcrafted cocktails are no exception. From the fresh-squeezed juice to our house-made sour mix, everything at Ocean Prime is expertly created with the highest quality ingredients.”

The “Prime Hour” menu features three premium handcrafted cocktails: the Cucumber Gimlet, the Tequila Gimlet and the Blood Orange Negroni.  To complement these cocktails, a special selection of appetizers including the Truffled Deviled Eggs and the Ahi Tuna Tartar are available in addition to four premium wine-by-the-glass selections.  All “Prime Hour” menu items are priced below nine dollars, and “Prime Hour” takes place in Ocean Prime’s lively cocktail lounge featuring piano music nightly.

In addition to four private dining rooms with seating for up to 36 guests, Ocean Prime features a covered patio terrace with outdoor dining and a private bar. The retro elements of a supper club, reflected in the warm finishes and rich wood – all combined with contemporary styled drapery, modern lighting and granite bar tops – were designed to add to the vibrant energy of the restaurant.

Ocean Prime also kicked off its Holiday Gift Card Promotion this week.  For every $100 worth of gift cards purchased through December 31, 2009, guests will receive a bonus $25 gift card reward, valid January 3 – February 28, 2010 on food purchases.

“We are thrilled to enter the Dallas market and know Ocean Prime will thrive in its Uptown location,” Ocean Prime general manager Brandon Davis said. “Back in the day, a supper club was the place to be. The vibe was hip, the food was amazing and everyone had the time of their lives. At Ocean Prime, we’ve revived and redefined this electric, sexy and sophisticated dining tradition.”
 “Prime” says it all. From the world class wine list to the extensive menu with a great selection of seafood and steaks, everything at Ocean Prime is of the highest quality.

Executive Chef Sonny Pache will showcase his culinary expertise with the finest fresh seafood, prime steaks and handcrafted cocktails.

On the dessert menu, the supper club staple Baked Alaska takes its place alongside a classic Crème Brulee and a rich Peanut Butter Pie dipped in a decadent bittersweet chocolate ganache.

“Ocean Prime’s menu offers a balance between traditional and inventive new classics from both a great seafood restaurant and a conventional steakhouse,” Davis said. “Our goal is to create a place where our guests will be welcomed into a classy and modern atmosphere and provided with an exceptionally valued dining experience.”

Ocean Prime will encompass the retro elements of a supper club, including warm finished and rich woods, combined with contemporary styled drapery, state-of-the-art lighting and granite bar tops.
