Ocean Prime, Denver Tech Center
Ocean Prime has debuted three new luxury cocktails & we couldn’t wait to try them out.
Ocean Prime, Denver Tech Center
We arrived at Ocean Prime in the Denver Tech Center and we were seated in the Lounge. The Lounge was classy and airy with windows that opened directly onto the patio. Our server Jackson was awesome. He was poised, warm, & gave us all the details we needed to know on the premier cocktails. PR Manager Alex was as sweet as can be and checked in on us while we dined.
The Lounge
The three new cocktails included the Crystal Margarita, Smoked Old Fashioned, and Hot & Dirty Martini.
The Crystal Margarita was made with Komos Cristalino Tequila, Grand Marnier Cuvée de Louis Alexandre, Italicus, Fresh Lime Juice, Agave, Ginger-Sesame, & Oak Brulée.
Crystal Margarita
The margarita was shaken vigorously until chilled and then poured into a cardinal coupe glass. The atomizer was sprayed at the lighter to flame the House Spritz Mix into the cocktail. The margarita was a gorgeous yellow with edible gold glitter in it. The cocktail had aromas of pineapple and bright agave. The taste profile was of candied citrus with a zing of lime.
The Smoked Old Fashioned was made with Angel’s Envy Rye Whiskey, House Demerara Syrup, Angostura & Orange Bitters, & Charred Cherry Wood Smoke.
The old fashioned was served from a decanter and poured into an etched highball glass. In that glass was a pristine 2x2 Ocean Prime ice cube. The cherry wood smoke dreamily combined with the whiskey when poured. The cocktail was smooth with tasting notes of dark caramel, maple syrup and fading smokiness.
The Hot & Dirty Martini was made with Olive Oil Infused Belvedere Vodka, & Calabrian Chili Blue Cheese Stuffed Castelvetrano Olives. This was my favorite cocktail of the night!
The martini was shaken vigorously with ice, strained into a prism coup and garnished with the stuffed olives on a metal pick. The martini had a wonderful salty & spicy kick to it and was thick on the palate. The Calabrian chili stuffed olives added an additional layer of heat.
From Ocean Prime’s lounge menu we ordered the Blackened Fish Tacos, Ocean Roll, Smoked Gouda Tater Tots, Chef's Feature Roll, and Prime Cheeseburger Sliders.
The Blackened Fish Tacos were made with Sea Bass, Brussels Sprout Slaw, Jalapeńo Tartar Sauce, & Lime.
Blackened Fish Tacos
The sea bass was buttery in taste and texture while the slaw, tartar sauce, and lime added acidity and brightness to every bite.
The Ocean Roll was made with #1 Tuna, Salmon, Hamachi, Avocado, & Chili Garlic Oil.
Ocean Roll
Yum - the Ocean Roll was fresh and vibrant. The hamachi was luscious in texture. The chili garlic oil added subtle spice that enhanced the richness of the tuna and salmon.
The Smoked Gouda Tater Tots were made with Cheddar & Garlic Aioli. I'm not a big tater tot girl but I always go for Ocean Prime's tots - they're that good.
Smoked Gouda Tater Tots
The tots were crisp potato pillows of cheesy goodness. The interior was hot & fluffy with potato and creamy cheese.
The Chef's Feature Roll was the DTC Roll.
Chef's Feature Roll
A great roll with crunch from the jalapeno, smoothness from the cream cheese, and nice chew from the tempura and rice.
The Prime Cheeseburger Sliders were made with OP Sauce, Caramelized Onions, Tillamook Cheddar, Lettuce, & Tomato.
Prime Cheeseburger Sliders
For our main we had the Teriyaki Salmon served atop Shiitake Sticky Rice & coated in Soy Butter Sauce. This is one of the best salmon entrees you can find in Denver.
Teriyaki Salmon
The salmon was juicy and flakey. The teriyaki glaze was bold and thick. The glaze combined with the soy butter sauce & gave the salmon the perfect combination of sweet tang. The veggies added nice color and snap to each bite.
For dessert we had the Warm Butter Cake made with Fresh Berries, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Raspberry Sauce. You guys, I dream about this dessert (just thinking about it makes my mouth-water). It’s easily one of my top 3 favorite desserts in Denver.
Warm Butter Cake
The cake was piping hot with vanilla ice cream melting atop. The sugar exterior was lightly crisped with a densely moist interior making for gooey & buttery bites. The bright fresh fruit complimented the rich cake perfectly. A must order!
Big thanks to Ocean Prime, Jackson, Alex, Karen Gee-McAuley, Dana Parks, & DPP Communications for hosting us!
