Ocean Prime Nashville Yards will feature two private dining spaces designed to accommodate a variety of groups and events, from intimate gatherings of 8-12 to larger celebrations with 35-45 guests.

“As a destination restaurant celebrated for its exceptional atmosphere, outstanding food, and genuine hospitality, Ocean Prime is the ultimate gathering place and a natural fit for the uniquely special experience we are building at Nashville Yards,” said Southwest Value Partners Managing Partner Cary Mack. “We are thrilled to welcome Cameron Mitchell and his team to Nashville.”

Ocean Prime delivers an elevated experience with exceptional ambiance, a chef-curated menu, signature handcrafted cocktails, and a Wine Spectator-honored wine list. 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’s menu is elaborate and modern, featuring indulgent seafood presentations, prime steaks, hand-rolled sushi, decadent side dishes, and house-made desserts. Each dish is carefully made from scratch by the chef team, emphasizing quality ingredients. Ocean Prime cocktails are inspired by classics and delivered with creativity.

“We are extremely excited to bring Cameron Mitchell and his upscale, highly successful fine dining concept to Nashville Yards,” said Ted Tanner, Executive Vice President Real Estate Development, AEG. “Ocean Prime is the perfect anchor to our collection of highly curated culinary offerings which feature a unique blend of local, regional and national brands and varied genres. It’s the perfect complement to the variety of entertainment and hospitality options and activities Nashville Yards will offer guests.”
