THE BEST restaurant of ANY in the world!!!! Top shelf from the hostess to the waitress to the food to the staff personally directing me to the restroom… from start to finish is THE best restaurant I’ve EVER visited!!!! And I’ve been to over 93 countries and have lived in 6 other states and 4 other countries and I can truly state that this is THE best restaurant I’ve EVER visited ANYWHERE.

The service was good, cocktails were tasty and creative and the food was prepared well. There was a large party (~12) in the dining room and it was hard to speak or hear the person I was dining with, once they left it was fine.

Michael was our server and he was very personable, knowledgeable, funny and efficient. The food was some of the best we have ever had. Everything was perfect to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was entertaining to watch the servers hunt for the bottle I selected among their extensive selection. Can’t wait to go back.

WOW!!! What an awesome experience. My wife and I chose 401 Prime for our 15th anniversary dinner and we were blown away by the experience. We were greeted right away and wished a happy anniversary. Our server, Mark, was amazing. He explained the menu and offered suggestions to us which the Shrimp scampi was delicious. The lobster bisque was on point, and our entrees were amazing. We both got the filet and crab cake. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the crab cakes were the best I have ever had. Dessert was great too. Overall an absolute amazing evening. We will be back!!

Excellent first meal at 401 Prime. We ordered the wedge and loaded potato soup, shared the 9 ounce fillet and ordered the mac and cheese and vegetable risotto - all were delicious. Our server Tabitha was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back.

There were good things and not so good things Salads were all very good My friend and I ordered the sirloin tips to share, ordered med rare When it came to the table it was nicely split between the two of us and was cooked to med rare, but it was cold. It went back to the kitchen and came back warm but the meat was now med to well. At a restaurant of this quality I did not expect to have re-warmed food. The server told us that the manager would come by to speak to us, never did. The meatloaf ordered by another in our party was very well received! He loved it.

Steaks were delicious. Sauce served with the petite trio was cold. Cocktails were fun and interesting and our server was excellent and a true delight. Sides: broccoli was refrigerator cold served with was normally sauce. Mac and cheese and risotto were poorly finished, under seasoned and cheese was broken. Asparagus were overcooked and not properly presented or prepared. Appetizers: carpaccio was under seasoned and dry. Crab cake was room temperature. Desserts were good but not appropriate for a fine dining experience. Overall the food was average to good but for the price it should have been great to excellent.

This was a real splurge, but well worth it for a celebration. Although the wine list was one of the most extensive I've seen they did not have a Gruner Ventiliner :-( The Dover sole special was scrumptious, broccolini was cooked to perfection and the Creme Brulee was amazing. Special praise to Corey; he is one of the best servers I have ever experienced, thank you for your outstanding care and attention.

It was everything our sever made our experience 10 times better she gave us a run down of the menu and the house favorites . It was our first time there and we were celebrating our anniversary and the details on our menu saying happy anniversary made me feel really special. I’m definitely going back and as our server suggested we should try the lounge area . Love this place

The Entire experience was wonderful. Our server, Tabatha, was attentive, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was superb. The wagyu was melt in your mouth delicious. The crabcake was divine and desert was incredible as well. It's not a place that I could go to regularly, because it's one of the more expensive restaurants around, but I give it 5 stats, anyway. Definitely worth it.

Beautiful place with great staff! The wine was perfect and we loved the tuna tartar! Very good crab cake but way too expensive! The sides were just ok, I wouldn’t order them again. The salad was decent. The steak was prepared well, but once again for the price I expected to be blown away. It was a good experience and I’m glad we tried it. I wouldn’t rush back though

At long, long last a good steak house in Lancaster---and a classy one! You will not be disappointed with the elegantly prepared food, the quiet and friendly service, and the outstanding decor. The bar is stunning (so are even the bathrooms!) and has a great, simpler menu for happy hour every day. I hope it does not go down hill in quality---as most of Lancaster's restaurants do after opening a few months: what a mystery this is, given that this area is generally well-to-do and residents do eat out; but with a few glorious exceptions, this is not a good town for eating out, no matter what the "community-is-our-salvation" enthusiasts tell you in order to feel virtuous about where the live. 401 Prime is indeed such a glorious exception to that depressing general mediocrity. Go try it!

Went for my fiancé’s birthday and he expressed how it was the best meal he’s ever had. Food was phenomenal, service was fantastic! Corey (Cory) was so sweet and so attentive. They even had my fiancé’s name on the menu for his birthday. 11/10 would recommend to absolutely everyone.

From start to finish, we were made to feel special. The hostess that brought us to our table, the waiter that served us, and the bus staff were all on top of their game. The menu gave us wonderful decisions to make. The food was delicious and the pace of our meal was spot on. Not a regular spot for us to frequent, but certainly one to go to for special occasions. We'll be back and we suggest you try it as well. I do not think you will be disappointed.
