I have a food allergy, and the kitchen and server accommodated that well enough so I could dine without concern. The dishes were well prepared. First time there, and we would return. We like to dine later so our reservations were at 8:30, and even then it was a tad noisy, but we could still converse.

                                                              Primo Grill is consistently a great restaurant. With the retirement of Charlie and Jacqui, many of us were concerned that the quality would wane, but it doesn't appear so. Additionally, the new owner have added a few more wines on tap, which is great as I mostly drink white wine, and the Alexandria Nicole pinot gris is on the sweet side, which I don't like. The Sauv blanc is excellent, and the taste of rose I had also was good.

                                                              I stopped in for a solo dining experience early on a weeknight. The team made me feel very comfortable. The pork chop and sweet potato hash were great. I tried the olive oil cake. I was unsure what to expect, but it was pleasantly orange flavored and quite tasty. I would definitely go again. It is worth noting that the restaurant adds 20% to every check to go to the servers and benefit related expenses, so there is no tip line on the bill.

                                                              Tried the famous Primo Grill for the first time to celebrate daughter’s graduation. Ambience was welcoming and open. We had a reservation and were seated right away. It was a busy for a Thursday evening. After being seated it took about 10-15 minutes to be greeted by our server and given water. Then about 15 more minutes for our drink order and to ask about starters. Their old fashion was a light handed pour and the virgin margarita for $14 dollars was a disappointment. We ordered the fried Brussels sprouts, focaccia bread, and crostini. Apps were pretty mild in flavor and we were not impressed. For dinner we ordered ravioli, penne vodka, two pizzas, two Cesar salads, and the chicken dish. Pizza was delicious, pasta was house made and we ate them entirely. Chicken had good flavor. Cesar salads were a bit bland. Apps and salad I would rate a 4/10, dinner I would say 7/10. Service continued to be very slow and inattentive. We were not checked on once after getting our food. This was the most expensive dinner we’ve had for our family and unfortunately left a bit disappointed. Also, they automatically include 20% tip charge in your bill. Non-negotiable. While we support tipping service workers and also benefits for employees, service is not up to par to justify a $60 dollar tip!
