"Food and service were great. I think they have live music some nights, which seems strange for a place that otherwise has the ambience of an upscale steakhouse. I went on a Monday night, and there was no music, so it was fairly quiet. The regular menu has many appealing choices, but I went for the fixed price menu, which, unlike many fixed price menus, included several options for appetizers, salads, entrees, and sides. For my salad option, I selected a salad with mixed greens, pears, apples, and honey vinagrette dressing. The rest of the food was good, but this was the most memorable part of the meal for me - one of the best salads I've ever had!"

"we wanted to celebrate Our mothers 92nd birthday with an evening she would cherish She was always a big Sinatra fan,we decided we would surprise her. We had never been there before so we didn't Know what to expect. -she loved Sinatra and liked pasta so we Made a reservation. From the minute we walked in we were Impressed. We felt we were transformed to another place and time, a time where service was of the upmost importance- the martinis were pricy but Perfect , the service was excellent the -The pasta was delicious and the dessert was sinfully good- the Sinatra live music was magc. I have not seen my mother so happy in a long time- We definitely will return for many more special occasions- mom told us her experience at prime was "magic""

"Since Restaurant Brooks has shuttered, we have been searching for a replacement. Alas, this is not to be found at Prime. There is always something a little "off" about the place and the food is merely mediocre. The restaurant soundtrack on the night we were there was extremely inappropriate for this type of dining establishment and so loud we could not comfortably carry on a conversation."

"The website stated that the night was for couples on Valentine's night. The amount of 49-69 was not specified that it was per person. Regular dinners are $35, $25 with a coupon. If the price had been clearer we would have chosen not to go. I did not eat a "first course" as I do not like seafood. Our choice of salad was not was not very good. The "third course" was in my case prime rib. My prime rib was large, it however had no flavor and was was a tad bit dry. My husband had the rack of lamb and loved it. Neither meat entree was cooked the way we asked for it. The creamed spinach was very good. Sad that that was the best part of the meal for me. I called to complain and the manager/owner argued with me about my evaluation."
