8oz filet mignon was so burnt well done and smoked sweet potatoes smelled and tasted like gasoline or liter fluid had to send it back. Absolutely disgusting! But desert was unbelievably delicious!

We had the pleasure of dining at Prime 102 (our first time there), for my 70th birthday, and it was truly a remarkable experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance exuded sophistication and warmth. Robin, our server was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations, and lively conversation throughout the evening. The menu showcased a delightful array of culinary masterpieces. Each dish was not only a feast for the taste buds but also a work of art in presentation. The attention to detail in both flavor and aesthetics was evident, making every bite a memorable experience. The service was impeccable; Robin, our server was not only friendly but also genuinely passionate about the menu. He guided us through the selections with enthusiasm, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the evening. The pacing of the courses was perfect, allowing us to savor each moment without feeling rushed. The birthday surprise was unexpected and a delicious treat to complete a fabulous evening of fine dining. Overall, Prime 102 offers more than just a meal; it provides a culinary journey that leaves a lasting impression. If you're seeking a combination of top-notch service, an elegant atmosphere, and exceptional cuisine, Prime 102, located in the Peoples Petroleum Building on the Square in downtown Tyler, TX is a definite must-visit. A fabulous evening that exceeded expectations in every way.

We love the ambiance-- strikes the perfect accomodations for a nice evening for two or even large groups. The service was attentive and fast. Perfect presentation for all courses.The entrees were cooked to perfection-- beautifully marbled ribeye and blackened salmon. The side of asparagus Florentine was left behind. Try the butter cake with Henry's ice cream -- life changing!

Without looking at the menu, if you do not know what you are getting by the time you walk up the stairs, you are probably in the wrong place. Let your nose guide you. The smell of high quality steaks gets me every time. I am sure the other choices are fantastic. Get the steak anyway. I opted for the 45 day aged sirloin. It was good. The wife got the 8 oz filet...it was better. If you never had an aged steak get it...but the filet will not let you down. The service was the best I have had! It was my first anniversary dinner and they made it special. Prime 102 is out new favorite restaurant...cannot recommend it enough.

The staff are all friendly, polite, attentive and knowledgeable. They all seemed to have pride in the restaurant and the historic building it resides in. We started at the Corner Bar for old fashions made in a beautiful crystal pitcher in front of us, including lighting the orange oil from the rind for extra flair. The bartender, Tanner, took the time to tell us all about his favorite foods and specials that night. Our waitress, Gabby, gave wonderful recommendations. We split a wedge salad and a ribeye, and both were stellar. The bread (popover?) was to die for. The dessert was the butter cake which was delicious, but a little drier than expected. This was a special occasion, and we were not disappointed!

My wife and I had a date night planned, and after reviewing the OpenTable app, I reserved a table at prime 102. After reading several reviews, I felt comfortable that we would have a good night and enjoy an amazing dinner. Prime 102 did not disappoint. Service was exceptional. The food was over the top and the ambience is exactly what my wife and I needed. We met the owners wife, a wonderful woman who you could tell, was very passionate with her business, her employees and the customer. I highly recommend prime102 to my friends, and anyone who is looking for a positive dinner experience.

The service was great and the atmosphere was nice, My wife ordered the Scallops and they literally had no flavor & had a mushy texture, I ate one. My 8 oz Filet was cooked as I requested, medium rare, but was very salty on the top side. I like salt & pepper but these were way too salty,

I've been to many steakhouses and this one did not disappoint. Had the dry-aged Ribeye cooked medium and was one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Wife had the filet medallions and she was very impressed. Everything was great but I would suggest skipping the carrots as a side (should've gone with the lobster macaroni 😂😉)

This is a top tier experience! The atmosphere allows you to forget you are in East Texas and takes you to an upscale vibe you would find in LA or New York. When it comes to food, every item is crafted and executed with true talent. Anyone who finds themself here and doesn’t end the meal with Brown Butter Cake will regret it.

Last night was our first experience at Prime 102. We were speechless throughout our entire time. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary and I had the specialty drink of the night, Azalea. The best drinks we have ever had! Our steaks were cooked to literally perfection, medium rare just as we like. The potato casserole and beets were delicious. For our anniversary we were served a complimentary dessert, a snickerdoodle butter cake topped with Henry’s Mexican vanilla ice cream. Let me tell you, nothing will ever top the meal we had. The entire service was flawless, our server, Scott was wonderful. Thank you Prime 102 for making our 5th anniversary memorable.

Was first time at this downtown Tyler restaurant. Parking was free and available in front of the entrance. My wife and I were greeted by two attractive ladies who ushered us to our table. Our waiter, Coleton, was very professional and not pushy or hovering. The food was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. The ambiance was classy but not stuffy. As a bonus, my wife and I were treated to a birthday cake dessert free of charge. We will be back!

I rarely complain about restaurants but for a meal we paid over $300 for, we expected better. The service was great but the food was subpar. We liked the sides the best if that tells you anything. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese and truffle fries. My fiancé ordered the tomahawk which that on its own was $130. Not complaining about the price, but for that price, it should have been cooked correctly and well seasoned. There was not seasoning that we could taste and it was very bland. When we got it, my fiancé had to send it back as he ordered medium rare and it was cold on the inside. (We rarely send things back to the kitchen but thought it was fair considering the fine dining experience.) They did fix it, no questions asked which was nice but then the taste was bland which was sad. I had the crab cakes which I did like! Service was awesome and they even dished out the first serving of sides for us as the sides are table sized servings instead of individual. Just wish that steak was better for the price. I almost asked for A1 lol.
