About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

Dedicated to the expression of modern American cuisine, Prime: An American Kitchen & Bar is more than just a culinary adventure, it is a true experience. Guests can choose from an array of raw bar favorites, like blue point oysters, little neck clams, and lobster cocktail, along with Mizu Sushi, and steaks and chops like filet mignon and parmesan-crusted veal chop. For those with a sweet tooth, there are several dessert options, like New York style cheesecake, crème brûlée, and the crowd-favorite espresso martini – all served with complimentary water views, as both Prime locations are directly on the water with boat accessibility.

Sunday Brunch is offered weekly, with catering options also available.

Please note that reservations are recommended but walk-ins are always welcome...allowing you the time to explore our entire property with spectacular waterfront views.

We enjoyed our food and the service was excellent. What made this experience not enjoyable was the terrible heat. it was truly unbearable. Finally one of the managers had to bring a portable air conditioning and that helped, but for most of the dinner everyone was uncomfortable and sweaty which made it very difficult to enjoy the meal. Maybe don't have part of the windows open in 90 degree weather

Service was outstanding, ambiance was upbeat but a bit trashy. The appetizers were very good but the steak was very veiny. It has potential if they tweak a few things, I will not be returning.

We visited Prime: An American Kitchen as a father s day treat for my son and husband on Father's Day. We found the hostess and all the servers extremely kind and friendly and efficient. The noise level was above average, but I'm sure that is because it was a holiday and crowded even at 6 pm. We were seated, as requested at a window with a water view. My son's steak was underdone but it was heated up and returned quickly. My husband's beef wellington was requested to be rare but it was done more than medium. He didn't want to wait for another wellington so the server brought him a rare filet magnon which was done just right. I requested horse radish sauce for my steak and my son and husband requested the same. The server brought a small pitcher of horse radish "cream" which didn't have the usual bite that horse radish sauce has. I was surprised when the bill listed that request at $6.00! But, overall the four of us enjoyed their meal and dessert of creme brulee. We will keep this restaurant in mind for special occasions.

It was a beautiful Father's Day experience! Very welcoming and the food/beverages were delicious. It was also the perfect environment for my 2-year old toddler who enjoyed the waterfront views and engaging staff.
