Ocean Prime happy hour focuses on seafood, sushi, lounge dishes and drinks. The restaurant you choose matters: Chicago posts individual food prices, Phoenix offers half off its lounge menu, and New York has a Friday session that starts before noon.

Ocean Prime Happy Hour Menu: Chicago Prices
The following tables cover Chicago’s posted happy hour menu, rather than national prices. Prices and offers vary by location; tax and gratuity are additional. Chicago excludes holidays from this promotion.
Oysters, shrimp and starters
| Chicago Item | Happy Hour Price |
|---|---|
| Rose & Garnet Oysters* | 15 |
| West Coast Oysters* | 16 |
| Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail | 16 |
| Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli | 12 |
| Point Judith Calamari | 14 |
| Caviar Deviled Eggs* | 15 |
| Shrimp Sauté | 15 |
| Parmesan Baked Scallops | 24 |
| Beef Carpaccio* | 19 |
| Jumbo Lump Crab Cake | 16 |
| Ahi Tuna Tartare* | 16 |
Chicago’s oyster prices are menu-item prices; the happy hour listing does not identify them as per-oyster prices or specify the quantity. For an explicitly per-piece offer, see Kansas City or New York below.
Sushi and crudo
| Chicago Item | Happy Hour Price |
|---|---|
| Prime Roll* | 14 |
| Ocean Roll* | 16 |
| Vegetable Roll | 11 |
| Spicy Tuna* | 16 |
| Dynamite Roll | 16 |
| Hamachi Crudo* | 14 |
Lounge dishes
| Chicago Item | Happy Hour Price |
|---|---|
| Blackened Fish Tacos | 11 |
| Sakura Wagyu Cheeseburger* | 13 |
| Crab Cake Sliders | 15 |
| Lamb Lollipops* | 20 |
| Baked Oysters | 9 |
| Lobster Tempura Sticks | 20 |
An asterisk identifies items the menu flags for raw or undercooked ingredients. Confirm preparation with your server, especially for oysters, fish, beef and eggs.
Happy Hour Drinks: Cocktails, Beer and Wine
| Location | Verified Drink Offer |
|---|---|
| Chicago | $5 off specialty cocktails; $10 select wines |
| Phoenix | $10 select specialty cocktails; $5 beers; $10 select wines by the glass |
| Kansas City | Eight named cocktails at $15; $10 select red and white wines; $5 beers |
| New York — Friday menu | Three named cocktails at $15; three named wines at $10 |
| Las Vegas | Half off specialty cocktails and selected wines by the glass |
| Dallas | Specially priced cocktails, beer and wine; confirm the current eligible selections |
$5 off is a discount, not a $5 cocktail. Chicago’s menu does not give one final price for every specialty drink. Phoenix’s $10 offer is limited to select cocktails, while the New York menu names its eligible drinks individually.
Ask for the happy hour drinks list before ordering from a full wine or spirits menu. A bottle price, premium spirit upgrade or cocktail outside the offer should not be assumed to qualify.
Ocean Prime Happy Hour Hours by Location
| Restaurant | Days | Hours | Where to Sit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicago | Monday–Friday | 4–6 p.m. | Lounge |
| Phoenix | Monday–Friday | 4–6 p.m. | Lounge |

| New York City | Friday only | 11:30 a.m.–6 p.m. | Lounge |
| Dallas | Weekdays confirmed; check weekends | 4–6 p.m. | Lounge |
Dallas weekend note: its location page and menu advertise a daily 4–6 p.m. offer, but its FAQ says Monday–Friday. Weekdays are consistent across those pages. Call the Dallas restaurant at (214) 965-0440 to confirm Saturday or Sunday before making a special trip.
These windows do not describe full dinner service. Las Vegas can be open for weekend dinner while its current happy hour menu still specifies weekdays. New York’s Friday schedule should also not be applied to another city.

New York City Friday Half-Day Happy Hour
New York’s lounge menu runs Fridays only, 11:30 a.m.–6 p.m., excluding holidays. It has a different price structure from Chicago and Kansas City.

The cheeseburger with the listed fries add-on totals $17 before tax and gratuity. The Chef’s Feature Roll can change; ask what is being served that Friday.
Lounge Seating, Ordering and Dietary Details
The location offers covered here specify the lounge. If you reserve a dining-room table, ask whether the restaurant can seat you in the eligible area. Do not assume a patio, private dining room or takeout order receives lounge pricing.
For an arrival close to the cutoff, check when the restaurant needs to receive your order. Its advertised hours do not promise that later rounds keep the earlier price. Holiday exclusions are explicit on the Chicago, Kansas City and New York menus.
Ocean Prime marks some dishes as gluten-free friendly with modifications. That requires a request and does not mean the kitchen is completely gluten-free. Tell your server about allergies and ask about sauces, breading and shared preparation. The menus checked here do not provide verified calorie totals for these offers.
For a price comparison before booking, see Fleming’s happy hour menu. If seafood and drinks are your priority, compare Bonefish Grill’s happy hour offers or Pacific Catch’s Aloha Hour menu.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time is Ocean Prime happy hour?
Chicago and Phoenix list weekdays, 4–6 p.m.; Kansas City and Las Vegas list weekdays, 3–6 p.m. New York lists Fridays, 11:30 a.m.–6 p.m. Check your restaurant’s schedule before visiting.
Does Ocean Prime have happy hour on Saturday or Sunday?
The current Chicago, Phoenix, Kansas City and Las Vegas offers above specify weekdays, and New York specifies Friday. Dallas advertises daily hours in one place and weekdays in its FAQ, so confirm weekend participation directly.
Is Ocean Prime’s entire menu half price?
No. Phoenix and Las Vegas advertise discounts on their lounge menus, while Chicago and Kansas City post particular happy hour prices. That does not make dinner steaks, every seafood dish or every bottle of wine half price.
How much are happy hour oysters?
New York lists $2 each on its Friday menu. Kansas City lists Rose & Garnet oysters at $3 each and West Coast oysters at $4 each. Chicago lists $15 and $16 menu items without a per-piece quantity in its happy hour listing.
Are sushi rolls included?
Yes, but the selections and prices differ. Use the city-labeled tables above instead of treating one city’s roll price as a chain-wide deal.
Can I order happy hour without alcohol?
You can choose from the food offers without ordering the listed alcoholic drinks. Ask the restaurant for current nonalcoholic drink prices; the offers above do not establish a discounted mocktail menu.
