Ocean Prime - Denver

As the name suggests, Ocean Prime, on Larimer Square, specializes in seafood and steaks and does both very well. Although it's a chain, it delivers an experience that doesn't feel like a chain. The restaurant offers multiple rooms and spaces for groups, primarily on the second floor, seating 8 to 64. Combining spaces or a full buy-out is possible for larger groups as well. Although the list of steaks and their accompanying sides and sauces impress, if trying to wow your dinner date is a goal, the custom-built smoking shellfish tower on the raw menu should suffice. There's a creative cocktail list and comprehensive list of wines, including an entire page of wines by the glass. One perfect way to finish your meal here is with a glass of tawny port, found on the dessert menu.
