Getting there

A word from The Prime Rib

Gargantuan cuts of prime beef, extra thick chops, and simply prepared fresh seafood are the straightforward offerings of this steakhouse that evokes the supper clubs of Manhattan in the 1940's. Leopard print carpeting, black lacquered walls trimmed in brass and tuxedoed waiters complete the elegant… atmosphere, featuring live piano and bass nightly. Dress code is business casual.Continued

"We introduced our neighbors to the Prime Rib and they were most impressed. The prime rib and lamb chops were outstanding. As a special they were serving dover sole which one of us had. It was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out."

"i try soft shell crab (special of the day) appertizer ,it was ok , previous time i try crab cake and it much better, the butter to go along with bread was deliciousssss just wonder why the waiter did not bring out more bread. we did not bother to ask because we want to finish the prime rib steak........when you go to this restaurant you have to try prime rib once for your life time cause it is good. the steak was juicy , tender , the chef cook exactly the way you ask for. a little pricey but over all i think it worth it. This is my 3rd time at this restaurant and enjoy it every time.............."
