    We had the NY Strip + King Crab special and it was delicious! Love that they offer premium Cabernets by the glass; I'm partial to Silver Oak and usually order a glass with dinner here. We loved it, as always!

    From the minute we walked in the door we were treated like VIPs, and this continued throughout our visit. The service was impeccable - always at hand and resistive, but not invasive or encroaching on our evening. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary, and we were gifted with a small present. The entire evening was an absolute pleasure, and we will most definitely be back and recommend to everyone.

    This was not just a meal, but an experience. Do not come here if you are in a hurry to eat. Plan on spending several hours being wined-and-dined. Chris was our server and he was excellent. The French onion soup, wedge salad, and oysters Rockefeller were delicious and the grouper was beyond excellent. The seafood tower had so many delicious items. And the desserts were divine. It is expensive but worth it for special occasions!

    The service was excellent! The waitress was knowledgeable of every aspect of the menu, and explained all that they offered at the restaurant in depth. We ordered drinks from the bar that were crafted with care, and the bacon-wrapped scallops appetizer was indulgent in flavor without being overpowering in portions. The steaks were cooked to the correct temp, and I would highly recommend the cognac sauce for dipping. Also, it was our anniversary and they made it special for us by presenting us with a card that all of the staff had signed and a gift to celebrate the big day! I would highly recommend giving this restaurant a try for your special occasion.

    Highly recommend Prime Bistro as the place in the Emerald Isle area for a very nice dinner! The bistro rolls were the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant! I got the ribeye, my wife got the filet flight, and we shared the truffle Mac and Cheese. All delicious and perfectly prepared!

    I have been coming to Atlantic Beach for over 45 years and this was the best meal i have ever had here. the atmosphere was great. the bar had a wide variety of bourbons and specialty cocktails. i would put the fillet up against any restaurant i have ever eaten at. The Wife had the oyster rockefeller and loved them. the bread DON’T forget the bread it was delicious. We had Summer as our waitress and she was fantastic very knowledgeable of the menu, answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. Everything was so good we made reservations then for the next night.

    Truly an outstanding evening from start to finish. We were greeted as we got out of our car and my elderly mom was guided kindly to a comfortable table. Every detail of our meal was explained beautifully. I was particularly impressed with the wine selection. The entrees arrived hit and perfectly prepared. Our wait staff was attentive and not overbearing.

    Obsessed from the moment we walked in. It’s an upscale but extremely comfortable environment. The food was beyond amazing and everything the waiter suggested was delicious. Best scallops I’ve ever had, seared perfectly but smooth as butter inside. We went all out with appetizers, drinks, meals, sides, and desserts. I can’t wait to go back and try literally everything else!!

    Clarke and Liza have out done themselves this time. Prime is truly the best restaurant in our area. And the fact that you can order Caymus wine by the glass was the cherry on top for me. Our server Sean was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu . He help point out thing we may have otherwise overlooked. My husband and I were totally impressed from the moment we walked in.

    There aren't enough stars I can give this place! This was simply the best meal I have ever had. The service is on point. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. The food is out of this world. I may have to drive 9 hours from Jersey just to come eat here again. The 7oz filet was perfect. My fiancée had the filet medley.
