About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
The Prime Grill was established in 2000 by owner and founder Joey Allaham and is the first restaurant from Prime Hospitality Group. Allaham, a fourth generation butcher from Syria brought his “meat” expertise to the United States in 1993 and began a journey to change the public perception of kosher dining. At The Prime Grill Allaham created an atmosphere suitable for business men, ladies who lunch and patrons looking for a relaxed, elegant atmosphere with delicious inventive comfort food for all types of occasions. As a trained butcher Allaham was able to provide the restaurant with the best quality and finest cuts of meat available and as a business man he was able to understand the needs of his patrons and offer only top quality service with the freshest ingredients possible.

    Despite the fact that the restaurant was not full it took a while before a waiter came over to take or order. Once he came he was very personable and friendly. The food was good- actually I think it was much better thank the last time we ate at the restaurant! I did not like the babka pudding dessert. I felt it needed to be crisped up on the outside. It tasted like it was made in a microwave...

    Service was poor and food was mediocre but if you need a kosher restaurant in the city it still is a good choice

    Lovely supper celebrating a family birthday. We asked to have the music turned down on the sound system--far too loud. Also, the restaurant might consider a "business casual or better" dress code. It advertises as fine dining, but the attire of the patrons didn't reflect that claim.

    I hadn't been to this restaurant since it was in its old location. The kosher menu was unusual with the sushi et al page and then the traditional fare. We had a sushi platter which was nothing remarkable. One of us had steak which was fine and I had a salad with steak. my steak was good but not prepared as I requested (not even close) and I didn't enjoy the salad. Pretty steep for so so.
