An Ohio restaurant group is expanding its seafood and steak brand into Sarasota with an expected opening of late 2024.

The waterfront restaurant Ocean Prime will be located within The Quay Sarasota, a 14-acre waterfront development overlooking the Sarasota Bay that combines luxury residences with upscale shopping and dining, according to a statement. The location will be CMR’s 19th of the brand and its first Sarasota location.

“It was a natural choice to bring Ocean Prime’s award-winning elevated experience to Quay Sarasota’s scenic waterfront setting, and we know it will enhance the experiences of those who live, work and play here,” says Grady Miars, president of Jacksonville-based GreenPointe Developers LLC, which is the developer of The Quay Sarasota. “With a reputation for innovation and vision, it is our pleasure to create this remarkable waterfront destination and enrich the city’s vibrant arts and culture district.”
