About this restaurant

Prime CafŽ, located at a Holiday Inn in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, serves classic American eats with some globally-inspired specialties to boot. The original beef and cheese-stuffed empanada with salsa and the coconut butterfly shrimp with honey mustard dipping sauce make for excellent appetizers. Some of Prime CafŽÕs specialty entrŽes include the herb marinated half roasted chicken, the seasoned prime aged New York strip steak and the pan-seared shrimp and scallops in white wine sauce, served over linguine. Prime CafŽ also serves a delectable array of deli-style sandwiches, such as the hot open roast beef with luscious brown gravy, the pizza burger topped with marinara and mozzarella cheese and the vegetable wrap with mushrooms, broccoli, cucumber, tomato and mozzarella cheese. Prime CafŽ also has an outdoor patio, so you can enjoy your hearty New York City-style eats while watching the city unfold before you.

    The food was adequate, but a little overpriced. When the waitperson learned we were using a discount, the service became poor and almost hostile. We ordered coffee at the end of the meal and one cup was not brewed but rather water was run through the beans; the other cup tasted as if it was standing in the pot for days. It is unfortunate this happened as the maitre'd or manager was pleasant and greeted everyone. This restaurant is located within a hotel and gets a large tourist attendance.

    Food and service was very good. I had the steak which was great quality and not too expensive. I heard the homemade pasta was very good. I would have to go back and try that. The owner actually greated us at our table and gave me dessert and coffee on the house. I thought that was very nice.

    Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. The food was average. Basically this is a hotel restaurant and if you are staying at the hotel it is convenient

    It may not look very attractive but the food was pretty decent. However, food was a little on the pricey side being that the decor was not that great. The owner was very nice and came by every so often to check on us. For me, if I was going to pay that price, I would probably pay for a place with better ambiance.

    While food was good, the atmosphere was not. It was very noisy, we were seated in the "annex" where it was cold, and the buzzing of the dessert fridge was ear splitting. Service was professional.

    Ordered the grilled pork chop, awesome! Ordered the half roast chicken, very good. The Chef came out and visited and was very friendly which was nice. The service was also very good. Good music selection playing in the bar area. Would definitely go back and recommend to a friend.
