Oceans Prime, American restaurant at International Plaza, Tampa, US
Oceans Prime is an upscale American restaurant located inside International Plaza in Tampa, Florida, focused on prime steaks and fresh seafood. The dining room has a modern look with private areas that can accommodate groups or special occasions.
Oceans Prime grew out of a national chain expansion that brought upscale dining concepts to several American cities starting in the 2000s. The Tampa location was one of the later stops in that rollout, placing it inside one of the city's main shopping destinations.
Oceans Prime brings together two dining traditions that rarely share a menu: the American steakhouse and the raw seafood bar. Guests can order a dry-aged steak and a plate of fresh oysters at the same table, which is not something most Tampa restaurants offer.
A reservation is strongly advised, as the dining room fills up quickly on weekends and around holidays. The restaurant sits inside a large shopping center, so parking is generally easy to find nearby.
Oceans Prime is part of a small group of American restaurants that serve a full sushi menu alongside a classic steakhouse menu every night. The bar area draws a crowd of its own, separate from the dining room, and is a common stop for people who are not there for a full meal.
