   Going out for a steak is not something I do, I can make better at home. But Prime Rib requires a big investment. :-) The Prime Ribeye was a steak, not roasted. The crabcakes were very good. The old fashioned was middling My wife liked her chicken parm. Over all, meh.

   The food was amazing, we requested a simple pasta dish that was not on the menu, the chef came to to our table to confirm our order, and he prepared it to perfection!

   My only complaint was the lighting. MIT was too dark in our booth to read the menu….needed to use my phone. You need more lighting.

   This was my first time at Prego. The first thing I noticed upon entering the restaurant was the ambience. The lighting and decor were great. Very upscale. We waited just a couple minutes for our table and then we're sat. Our server came to our table right away. Kylie answered our questions in detail regarding some of the menu options and provided some recommendations upon our request. She was great. Very informative. We started with an appetizer and the food was brought out in just the right amount of time. We did not feel rushed. Kylie provided great service and a great experience. Our food was delicious. Definitely plan on coming back again.

   Waitress and food was great. However the manager, Tyler was very rude and lacked of social awareness. It is sad to have a place with great service and food with such an unprofessional manager with lack of social awareness. To work in the food service industry some tact and communication is vital to hold a position such as manager.

   Disappointed. I went to celebrate Mother's Day with my family. It looked nice in the pictures and menu looked good. When I made the reservation online, it was not clear that one could not order from the menu, but had to do thier buffet, which was overpriced for the quality of food they served. We got put in a back room and the wait staff did not come to check much. I had to request a refill for my iced tea (from a different server) a few times before I got. They ran out of food as well. They did suggest 18%, 20%, or 22% tip though. All in all, walked out feeling ripped off.

   We reserved outdoor dining and were seated at a booth in the rear of the bar near the exit door. When I brought up my outdoor reaeervation, I was simply told, “We’re expecting a larger party.” I guess that means they were no longer expecting my party of 4. It was Mother’s Day and I did not know it was brunch style. Service was well below avg. Waiter brought 4 glasses for water and we saw very little of him until I placed used plates and silverware on the bar. Lots of choices on the menu, but mass produced food on display for long periods of time is not as appetizing as food which comes from the kitchen to the table. Our daughter just returned from college and our family of four was looking forward to a good meal and a fun time. We had a fun time, but for $60/person and a “suggestion of a 20% - 25% tip was not only disappointing, but also insulting.

    At times, we came upon food that was not warm, but overall it was all very delicious and a great choice for Mother's Day. A little pricey, but my fault for not asking that it was a brunch. We will return for date nights!

    Went here for Mother's day. The food was delicious and our waiter was very helpful. The place was clean and perfect for family gatherings. The cost was worth it for the buffet brunch $60 for adults and $25 for kids

    We were a party of 8 to celebrate Mother's Day for my wife and mom. We arrived a few mins early and the hostess was super nice and sat us immediately. Service was amazing! We have 3 small children and our server was so attentive. She only filled their water glasses halfway and with straws making spills less likely. She arranged to have their meal arrive with our apps to get them settled in quicker. BTW, I recommend 100% the fried calamari and meatballs! Delish! All but my entrees were amazing. I had the short rib pasta and the pasta had several pieces with the pasta stuck to itself resulting in undercooked bites. The short rib itself was great. We kept sharing all of our dishes and beaming over the flavors. The lamb chops and salmon entrees shined! Will definitely come again, as I'm hoping the pasta cook was a fluke.

    I have always enjoyed Prego but miss the old location and extensive menu. Food is good but very few choices. Service tonight excellent. Too bad they had to leave Newport Beach and the Covid killed it further.

    Pasta was undercooked, the beet salad was very sour and too much balsamic vinegarette. There was a nat in our water and in the cocktail. Service was good though but the waiter did not know the menu well. Unfortunately will not be back.

    I wish I have tried Prego sooner! From the moment we sat down and being offered bread and marinara sauce from the getgo, I knew the food and service was going to be great! We had the pig pizza which was great! Followed by a beet salad and pasta! The tres leches dessert with cappuccinos was delightful! We definitely indulged! Highly recommend it and we will be back!

    We had an absolute lovely dinner. Three of us had the lamb chops which were outstanding and lot of meat on them. I loved the glaze that had just a touch of mint. My mom had the lamb shank and loved it and then one of our party had a fish dish which I can't remember right now. The wait staff was impeccable. Our place to go for family meals.

    So appreciated this upscale restaurant for a reunion of old friends. The food and drinks were excellent, with great presentation and flavors. Service was particularly exemplary, as our server quickly recognized that our conversation was going to be a key part of our meal. She gave us space to take our time and still made us feel completely taken care of. Highly recommended!

    Ugo is an amazing chef! Everyone’s plates looked beautiful and tasted amazing! Reggie, our server, kept us very happy with suggested drinks to suit our tastebuds and was attentive to our table. Jacqueline, the hostess, greeted us with a big smile and asked us if we preferred sitting inside or out, and then told us about the specials for the evening.

    Service was impeccable! Timing was perfect on cadence of meal. Appetizers w s Salads were great. Main entree was lacking creativity and flavor. Probably should have had pasta but was looking for an entree with sides. Value was good.
