    We chose Prime to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful choice. From the moment we stepped in the front door until we left, it was a great experience. We had the rolls as our appetizer, I had French onion soup, and then we shared the 16 ounce ribeye with truffle, mac & cheese, grilled asparagus, and the wild mushrooms. We finished off the evening with the vanilla crème brûlée, and it was all wonderful. Our server, Shawn, took really good care of us and made our evening special. We would definitely come back.

    A wonderful and unique dining experience. The ambience, food, and service keep Prime Bistro the number one restaurant in the Crystal Coast. You will not be disappointed.

    The food and staff were outstanding! However, the 3 oz pour of a mediocre Cabernet, La Crema, for $18 did not fit in with the food and ambience!!! I expected to be able to get a 6 Oz or 9 oz glass of a high end wine.

    Prime Bistro doesn’t disappoint. We had the seafood tower as an appetizer and everyone enjoyed it. The seafood was fresh and the sauces were delicious. I had the filet flight with a choice of 3 sauces, that pair perfectly with the yummy filet, cooked to perfection. Prime Bistro service is top notch. We only go for special occasions because it’s price, but worth it. Their food is unique in Carteret County, the ambience is very nice. Prime Bistro doesn’t have competition. If you’re up to an exclusive experience, with great service and delicious food, Prime Bistro is the place to go.

    We had an amazing birthday celebration for my husband. The service was impeccable and it was so nice that they greeted him with a small gift of gourmet oil and vinegar and a card. The food was absolutely delicious. The filet was perfectly cooked and I highly recommend the truffle butter. The lobster bisque and the crab and lobster dip so good! I highly recommend the mushroom risotto. My husband had the grouper, which he loved and my son had crab cakes which also had rave reviews. I was really impressed that such a fine dining experience also had a nice children's menu, and my 11 year old enjoyed a petite filet and also tried everyone else's meal! I would go back any time!

    Went here for an anniversary dinner, and I loved it! We got the bacon-wrapped scallops, fillet flyer, and the Cowboy pork chop as well as a few sides, and everything was delicious! The service was great as well. My only criticisms are that the food was a little overpriced compared to similar restaurants in the area, and the Tequila Orange Crush was sweeter and less tart than I was expecting. Despite those two things, we still absolutely loved the restaurant and the dining experience as a whole!
