Ocean Prime takes the special-occasion route: seafood, steaks and a substantial wine list, served in an upscale setting in Indianapolis’s Keystone Crossing corridor. This is a splurge-priced dinner destination, and diners repeatedly point to attentive service and celebratory meals as reasons to return.
Chilean sea bass anchors the seafood offerings alongside the restaurant’s signature steaks. Diners also praise lobster, while one particularly detailed recommendation pairs a Piedmontese filet with a blue cheese crust and jalapeño au gratin. Cocktails and dessert make room for a longer evening rather than a quick main course.
The Northside location offers several ways to settle in: a main dining room, a lounge, two private dining rooms and a seasonal, partially enclosed terrace. That range suits both a business dinner and a larger celebration; the terrace offers an outdoor alternative to the more formal interior.
Ocean Prime is at 8555 River Road, Suite 100, just east of the Fashion Mall at Keystone. Dinner runs daily from 4 p.m., closing at 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Reservations, takeout and delivery are available.
