Best steaks in town. My husband and I shared a plate, and we still had leftovers! I loved how they served the salad, lazy Susan style. The service was great. Low-key atmosphere.

My wife and I chose this place for our 31st Anniversary. We really enjoyed ourselves. Food was good, wine was amazing, desert was delicious. The owners were so nice and accommodating. They really made the experience. We will be back to try other items on the menu.

We had reservations for valentines dinner at 6:45 and arrived at 6:30 and got sitted immediately. The atmosphere was very nice and what I expected for a valentines dinner. But I should have known that dinner wasn’t going to be great because right of the I had to ask a few times for some sweetener for my tea. Then found out that our portobello mushrooms were not available after we placed the order. Then after we placed our salad the waiter had to come back because they didn’t have any balsamic dressing. But after all that we had to ask how much longer we had to wait to get our prime rib 1 1/2 hours after we sat down. We got our food about 10 minutes later and our prime rib was way over done that I couldn’t eat it all because my jaw started to hurt. My bake potato was cold that the butter wasn’t melting and the skin was burnt. Overall our experience was not what I expected it to be and very disappointed. I love to support my local community but I don’t know if I will ever come back.

We came for the first time the week after Christmas for my birthday celebration. My husband order the 15?oz rib eye and it was huge delicious! He was very happy😄 I order the carbonara and it was perfect , creamy sauce, great flavor! The salad wheel was fresh, crisp and perfect for us both in the center of our table & the sunrise Birthday cake was even better. Great old world atmosphere... we'll be back❣️ We highly recommend going here

I took the love of my life to Prime for a combination Birthday and Valentine's Day, and I could not have been more pleased! Service was excellent! The food was awesome! Atmosphere was fantastic!. Price more than reasonable! Go to this restaurant, you'll be happy!

I found the prices to be high for what I received. The prime rib was just ok. I wasn't a fan of the salad wheel. It felt a little silly and there wasn't much to it. I'd rather have a beautiful dressed salad that I don't have to make, or offer some salad choices that are above and beyond a normal steakhouse house salad.

Service was spectacular. Great vibe and good selection when it came to the menu. Crisp Corona and the primavera pasta was scrumptious 💘 The waiter gifted a carrot cake to my fiance since it was his birthday! Overall spectacular experience and highly recommend.

We decided to try someplace new last Saturday night (02/15/25). The reviews looked good, and we were hungry for a good Prime Rib Dinner. What an abysmal disappointment. We ordered a bottle of wine - a red blend from Modesto, CA and after it was uncorked and poured at the table, we discovered it was not the wine we ordered (a bit frustrating but not a deal breaker - it was ok, so we kept it). Started with a Wedge Salad that was basically just a large chunk of iceberg lettuce and a small amount of tomato and bacon bits that were scant and buried at the bottom - the blue cheese crumbles were virtually non-existent. But the real tragedy was the Prime Rib. We ordered 2x 16oz cuts, medium rare. Both steaks were over-cooked and extremely tough. The beef was of very poor quality and cut from an under-finished rib, definitely not appropriate for use as 'Prime Rib' steaks. The complimentary bread that they offer was not brought out until we asked for it when our steaks were served. The tiny plate held 2 small, torn, biscuit-like chunks of what tastes like a premade mix, just enough for a bite, or two. The $42 steaks did not even include any potato or side unless you paid for them separately, which we chose not to order assuming that the Wedge Salad and some good steaks would be a great meal. Boy, were we wrong. So, for $150 we got a chintzy wedge salad, 2 tough, over-cooked pieces of sub-quality beef, a bite of biscuit, and charged $42 for a bottle of wine that cost $8-$10 off the shelf. After 2 bites of the meat, we packaged it to go for our dogs. Our concerns were met only with, "Yeah, I get that." from the server - and that was it. No apologies, no offer to improve the experience. He was polite but not very attentive. (We did, however, still give him a decent tip as the food quality is not his responsibility) By far the worst quality / quantity of food we've had in a very long time. What a shame.
