   Food was not good and drinks were mediocre. Made reservation and did not get seated until 45 minutes after scheduled time and they were not busy.

   The manager got our drink order wrong 3 times and proceeded to tell us that we were wrong even though 4 people in our party heard the correct order. He opted to no longer engage with our table. The bartender was in knowledgeable of the drink request and our waitress was very slow. The restaurant was not crowded and the food took some time to receive.

   It was our first time to Norfolk and our first time to Prime 255 on Granby. We loved that the owner stopped by to chat with us....he is delightful! The food was above par. We did not know that there would be live music and that was a fabulous surprise.

   We arrived early and the A/C had not kicked in yet (100 degrees outside), so the door was propped open. Not a bad idea, but it allowed flies in and disturb an otherwise FANTASTIC meal. Zöe was our server and she was TERRIFIC, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and PERSONABLE. She was not overbearing and checked on us at decent intervals. All of her recommendations were spot on (next paragraph). There was also a gentleman who's name I don't remember. He said he "helps out" around the place. My Spidey sense says he's the owner. He too was very PERSONABLE, ACCOMMODATING, and PERCEPTIVE. From across the room, he could read my wife's eyes when she had a question or concern (Thanks for closing the aforementioned door). The Chef (yes capitalized, because I failed to get his name) came to our table to get our take on the meal. Here goes (again)... Blackened salmon on sweet potato mash and asparagus...DELICIOUS. It touched 4 of the 5 senses...it didn't crackle or pop so we couldn't hear it. Dessert: Lemoncello cake...simply aaahhhhh! Recommended drink: Cocohito...hit the spot perfectly! Please don't pay attention so much to the category where I listed 4 stars. It is a me thing. I really hate flies. GREAT JOB FOLKS! I will be back.

   We wanted a nice dinner for a birthday date and this restaurant did not disappoint. The service and food were great. The shrimp and crab pasta and crab stuffed salmon are good options. Whiskey bbq wings are a good choice for the appetizer. The chef made us a special crab cake because they forgot the crab meat for the salmon entree.

   I loved the service our waitress was great. The food was very good, I had the crab cake dinner (all crab meat very little filler) that was a plus. My friend had the crab & shrimp Cajun pasta, the was very good as well. I could see myself coming back again in the near future.

   They didn't have many of the items on the menu. Advertising "Homemade Cheese Sticks" clearly came from a box, and no Marinara Sauce, my Oscar steak missing crab meat.

    This place is marketed very well. It’s completely upsold. The first thing that turned me off was our waiter. I didn’t mention anything initially but then my partner asked me about it. And I knew it wasn’t just me. She flirted with him the entire time. The food was not the best and they were out of two different apps we ordered which was discouraging. The crab balls/cake app was filler. We then both had the Oscar and it would have been better at TGIF. I’m not sure I’d come here again. Mainly because of the experience we had with the food.

    I am loathe to write negative reviews about restaurants because it is a brutal business with low margins but this is an exception. Check out Prime 255’s web site. It clearly represesents an upscale restaurant like Ruth’s Chris; but, it is not. It is a bare-brick wall dive with blaring, pumping music. Scanning the menu bar code on the table went nowhere. We asked for a print menu. The waitress said the manager would bring one over. We are still waiting. The Manhatten my wife ordered tasted more like The Bronx. The waitress was very sweet; but, we had enough, paid for the drink and left. In all fairness we didn’t try the food but I couldn’t skip that category to post a review. Tell me how it is. BLUF: There should be truth in advertising.

    The place over all was good and above average. It’s a elevated urban dining experience. The drinks are clever. The meals are delicious. Upscale soul food. Is that a genre? The chef sent out a most of the things missing something from the menu description but at my prompting was responded to well. I think they would benefit from a floor manager to bring some leadership. I came for a 7 pm meal and it seemed they were working out the kinks from a busy early dining and the start of service was very slow. Service picked up and things were fine. The entrees were the stars. Don’t spend money on the desert they just miss the mark at every level. It’s worth a try.

    The food was great. Lamb chops cooked to perfection and the drinks were good.
