    We sat at the Cooks Bar which is wonderful entertainment! I cook a lot and from scratch at home, so this is culinary theater for me. The food is always the best, perfect size, perfectly prepared, always fresh and locally sourced. The service is superb and friendly. I always wait for the day's specials. This visit I ordered a smoked onion and bacon pizza which was wonderful. The pizza dough was especially active so it was fun to watch it bake in the fired pizza oven. My husband ordered the hand-made ravioli. I got a bite, it too was sooo good!

    Bartender needs to compose himself. Hostess did not confirm our reservations but rather just walked away. Which means greeting was subpar.

    Fun place but noisy on a Friday night! Great bar. Dinner was good but a few misses. I had “rack of lamb” for $39. Four thin overcooked lamb chops. Wife had pasta. Good. Pizza looked good also. Great server (Ally). Host was also nice. Good desert (hand pie). Ice cream scoop ($4) a must. Too dry otherwise. Parking is challenging. Reservations a must on weekends. Would not order the lamb.

    A nice neighborhood restaurant. Menu is good and varied and offers a lot. Waitstaff efficient but indifferent. Food quality good but not always prepared well, one starter was burned. One out of three entrees delicious. Others marginal….not a lot of flavor nor pared with accompaniments that added much to the dish. Would recommend with several caveats.

    Their seasonal seafood (porcini crusted halibut) was delicious, as well as their house cocktails. We also ordered the burrata caprese as an appetizer and the coconut cake for dessert which were outstanding. Overall fantastic service, ambience, menu and food.

    Eaten here before, this time wasn’t good. Tagliatelle with Pork Ragu was over cooked with no sauce just anemic looking pork with no taste. Thought it was with red sauce, should’ve asked.

    We had a small business dinner - six guests - at Primo Grill and really enjoyed our evening. The cocktail menu was inventive, as were the appetizer and main course options. Great NW fish options on the menu, including the mussels, along with staples like salmon and halibut. I had a really tender and tasty pork chop - highly recommend! Great service - there when we needed it, not hovering over our conversations. I will go to Primo Grill again!

    Primo is our first choice for special occasions. While it isn't white table cloth fancy, the food and cocktails are top notch quality and the service is too. And even on Mondays when Charlie is not in the kitchen, they are consistent. Thanks for a great meal!

    First time here and our server was really nice and helpful with suggestions. Cocktails were so good we just kept ordering them instead of our usual bottle of wine with dinner. Dinner was amazing- we had the fungi pizza for an appetizer,-so yummy! Then the pork chop and the tagliatelle with ragu-both incredible. Can't wait to go back!

    As always , food was so good ! Had a pre birthday dinner there and as always the experience was great. They honored a special request for our 5 yr old that they did on the fly and it was truly one of the best dishes of the night. The hosts were gracious with our group even when we we overstayed a little . Thank you 🙂.

    The sea bass was perfectly cooked, and I (someone who doesn't usually like Brussel sprouts) really enjoyed the fried Brussel sprouts with bacon. They also pour great drinks and the service was great. I never felt ignored, nor did I feel micromanaged during my dining experience. Highly recommend this to any of my friends.

    First time there and was expecting to have a great choice of steaks but saw only one choice. But after choosing something else we were so happy!!! The pork chop was to die for and I now want to learn how to make pasta. The pork ragu was fabulous and can’t wait to come back!! P.S. the coconut cake was super yummy.
