    Monday dinner so the crowd was light. the restaurant was beautiful inside and well maintained. The servers were outstanding. We ordered crab dip and shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, they were both very good, the three of us each got steaks they were outstanding, cook to order. I got a wedge salad that was a bit small but good. the star of the show was the old fashions, outstanding!!

    I brought my boyfriend here to celebrate his birthday. The restaurant had a very elegant yet intimate ambiance. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious as well. We shared the spicy crab dip for an appetizer. My boyfriend got the steakhouse strawberry salad and I got the filet mignon trio. They even brought out a warm cookie with ice cream to celebrate his birthday. The only thing we were disappointed with is that they didn’t have the lamb chops. The main reason I chose to have this celebratory dinner at Prime was because they had lamb chops on their menu which is my boyfriend’s favorite so I was a little saddened to find out they actually didn’t have them when we ordered our entrees.

    Thank you so much for celebrating your boyfriend’s birthday with us and for sharing such kind words about our ambiance, service, and food. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the spicy crab dip, the steakhouse strawberry salad, and the filet trio, and we’re so glad the warm cookie with ice cream added to the celebration! We do sincerely apologize for the disappointment with the lamb chops not being available that evening—we understand how important that was for your plans. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have another chance to serve you both soon.

    Foos and service was very good. Only miss was the Bolognese- it was basically a meat sausage with little flavor. Everything else was great.

    The service and staff overall were wonderful. The quality of the beef was pretty decent but pwrhaps a little below our expectations. Both steaks were not quite properly cooked to temperature. The seasoning was very good and overall we really enjoyed ourselves. Every kitchen has an off night and that was probably the case. We would still recommend this place.

    We were visiting the city and celebrating our anniversary. We found Prime and tried it out based on reviews. Parking was valet but I think it should be free. The staff were kind and nice. We had two greeters and both were attentive, engaging and consistent. The restaurants printed our names on the menu! The food came out very quick and it was delicious. The portions are rather small for the price. We would have thought they would give us a dessert for our special occasion! They gave us excellent recommendations for desserts and they were great! Try the brownie and salted caramel ice cream! Overall, it was a good experience and we would return, if and when we’re in the area!
    Prime CincinnatiResponded on June 30, 2025

    Consensus of our table was that the meal and service was mediocre at best. Waiter seemed distracted and not attentive. Definitely would not choose to visit again.

    Hi Lindsay, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience with both the service and the meal fell short of expectations. We hold ourselves to high standards, and it's clear we missed the mark during your visit. Your comments about the attentiveness of your server and the overall experience have been shared with our team so we can address them internally. We never want a guest to leave feeling disappointed, we truly do appreciate your honest feedback.
