    We took our neighbors. They had a wonderful time I tried the Wednesday fish special with Brussels sprouts. My chemist husband could not fix the sprouts or the fish that incredibly well. We had a grand time.

    Primavista never disappoints, and, the special 3-course menu on Wed. and Thurs. is always a good value. We went early and it was VERY quiet in the restaurant. Service is always attentive but not stuffy. We both thought the salad greens were rather tough and large pieces of dark green lettuce, but other than that -- everything was excellent and presented nicely. Their bread with roasted garlic puree is included and is a great start to the meal.
