Two-Story Ocean Prime Set to Open at The Quay, Sarasota’s Waterfront District
Ocean Prime Sarasota is scheduled to open in late 2024, boasting more than 9,500 square feet of space spread across two stories, with inviting outdoor terraces on each floor. The restaurant will include over 350 seats, two bars, and two private dining rooms.

Every Ocean Prime restaurant is uniquely designed to capture the energy and elegance of each city – making it an unmatched destination to socialize, talk business, celebrate, and indulge. Dramatically designed and inspired by where the land meets the sea, the restaurant interiors balance raw materials with polished details to create a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. Ocean Prime delivers genuine hospitality where “yes is the answer.”

With our exceptional menu, vibrant atmosphere, and dedication to genuine hospitality, this location promises to be a premier dining destination for both residents and visitors of Sarasota.”
