That's the Ocean Prime store visit in Michigan

Tucked right across from Somerset (2915 Coolidge Hwy, Troy, MI 48084) with a phone number for reservations (248-458-0500—book ahead!), Ocean Prime is a seafood lover’s dream. I went in hearing mixed opinions, but left totally impressed—from the service to the food quality, it’s a standout. And at $170 total for our meal? Way cheaper than Morton’s, and way more delicious 😋! 📍 First Impressions: Easy to Find, Warm Ambiance Location: Right across from Somerset Mall—super convenient if you’re shopping or exploring Troy. No getting lost here! Vibe: Upscale but not stuffy—perfect for a nice dinner out, whether with friends or a date. The lighting is warm, and the staff is attentive without being overbearing. ⭐️ 5-Star Must-Orders: These Dishes Are Non-Negotiable Ocean Prime’s seafood is next-level—here’s what you have to try: Seared Scallops: 🐚 The best I’ve had in ages! They’re so tender, juicy, and perfectly seared—even Season 52 (a tough seafood benchmark) can’t compare. Every bite is buttery and flavorful, with no rubbery texture at all. This alone is reason enough to come back. Twin Lobster Tails: 🦞 Such a nice touch—they peel the lobster meat for you but place the shells on top for decor (no struggling with cracking shells!). The lobster is sweet, fresh, and cooked just right—no overdone, dry meat here. It’s indulgent but totally worth it. Tuna Tartare: 🐟 A pleasant surprise! The tuna is fresh and creamy, with a bright, zesty flavor—though the soy sauce is a little salty (just use less, and it’s perfect). It’s a light, tasty starter that sets the tone for a great meal. 🌟 Why It Beats Morton’s & 220 Birmingham Vs. Morton’s: Ocean Prime is cheaper and more flavorful. Morton’s feels overly heavy at times, but Ocean Prime’s dishes are balanced—rich without being greasy. Vs. 220 Birmingham: 220 has good food, but Ocean Prime’s service is far better. Case in point: I can’t drink alcohol right now, so I asked for strawberry lemonade. They didn’t have it on the menu, but the server went out of their way to make it with strawberry sauce—such a thoughtful touch! ✨ Final Verdict: Come for the Scallops, Stay for the Service Ocean Prime won me over—even with the mixed reviews I’d heard. The scallops are a must-try, the lobster is easy to enjoy (thanks to pre-peeling!), and the service is top-tier. I’ll absolutely be back—if only for that first bite of those tender, buttery scallops. Don’t sleep on this spot! #UniversityOfMichiganAnnArbor #MichiganFood #MichiganEats #TroyMichiganDining #SeafoodLovers #MichiganWeekend #MichiganFoodReview #OceanPrimeTroy
