    We had a reservation at 5:00 pm on a Saturday and when we arrived the place was at about 25% full, still would recommend reservation(never know). Be aware it's a good size room could be noisy when busy. The food was very good and so was the service and prices are reasonable. Would return when in the area.

    It was okay, it was nice to sit outside and eat. Decor was nice but the food was alright. It wasn't bad food, just didn't "wow" me. If I had relatives visiting and everywhere was booked I wouldn't mind eating there again.

    Ordered scallop tacos. Substituted asparagus for the beans. When asked about how many scallops were in the tacos, was told two sea scallops. There was one sea scallop cut in half in each with minimal taco filling. Not very flavorful. I only ate one taco. Asparagus and rice were great. So good that I ordered a side of rice to go. Was disappointed when I got home to learn that I paid $5 for a side of rice that was only a scoop full...didn’t even halfway fill the container. I will go there again because the rice was that good, but will never order the tacos again. Our server was sweet and polite.

    We hadn’t been since they were shut down last fall but decided to give it another shot. I waited at the hostess station for over 5 minutes before I was greeted and once seated it took almost another 10 minutes before we were greeted by our waitress and this was only after a waitress passing by noticed we’d been waiting for a while. After another 10-15 minutes we finally got our drinks. I had the garlic Parmesan wings which tasted completely plain. My daughter had the ahi tuna which also lacked flavor and the rice was undercooked. My husband had the wedge salad which was underwhelming. The deviled eggs were quite tasty, though, so I kept my rating a 3. We may go again for drinks but will more than likely pass on the food.

    The food was amazing . I don’t eat red meat but was just craving a burger and it did. It disappoint . It was huge with two patties. I took one off and the bun too and had another whole meal to bring home . For $13.99 it was s steal . My husband just ate it as a leftover and said it is literally the best burger he had had in years . Marissa our server was great, fast, kind and nice . It had patio dining and easy parking . Drinks were reasonably priced .

    The wife and I went out for a Valentines dinner. We were promptly seated outside as requested and greeted by waiter within a few minutes. We arrived just before the end of happy and waiter made sure to point out the specials. The food was good, nothing overly special. A solo guitarist was playing for the evening and weather was warm and outside seating was nice. Service was great and waiter could not have been nicer. Overall a very nice evening out.

    Waste of time and money unless you love simple, fried food that tastes about as good as what you get in the freezer section at Publix. I'd rather eat at McDonald's than ever go back to Prime Bar. Now, if you want a spacious place to watch a game and drink beer, its great. But if you want a bite to eat that is good, don't even bother. The prices are insane for what you get here, unless its happy hour. Some items on the happy hour menu are only $5 but they aren't even worth that.

    Service was great! Our server recommended a very good beer which I thoroughly enjoyed. The chairs and furniture need some repair but it didn’t really affect our positive experience. Live music was a nice background and not too loud to have a conversation.

    Overall great experience. Happy hour is awesome. Hubby had steak, it was fantastic. He also had the sweet potato fries and slaw- both were wonderful. I had the duck, which was cooked perfectly. My only complaint is that the sauce sort of carmelized and became very sticky very quickly- however the flavor was still wonderful. Also- the happy hour menu is great!!

    Overpriced TERRIBLE food!! New chef LOVES salt. Mediocre service, limp fries, wedge salad was $13 and was the size of a side salad at other restaurants. The burger tasted like bad meat. That was our 2nd and LAST time going.😔

    We went for the brunch, it was excellent. Great price and our server Anna was wonderful. The only thing I would suggest is to have more than one person behind the buffet making the waffles and carving the meats. He had his hands full. Overall a great day. Will certainly be going back!

    We had dinner at the restaurant on Mother's Day. It was not very crowded and I soon learned why. The server was quite courteous and friendly. However, she was somewhat slow to take orders or clear the dirty dishes. The appetizers were good - buffalo wings, hummus, and calamari. The entrees arrived with the wrong ingredients on top of two salads (salmon and chicken were switched). The mistake was quickly fixed. The desserts arrived missing the caramel topping that was described by the waitress. When it was brought to her attention, she went to the kitchen and returned to inform us that they had "run out" of caramel sauce earlier in the day. So, the kitchen staff was knowingly sending out plates with missing ingredients. However, "the manager" was going to make some now (at her insistence) and it was delivered to the table 5-10 minutes later. Of course, by now the dessert was already eaten by 5 of us sharing the dessert. These were relatively minor issues. And I would have been happy to disregard all of these problems had there been some acknowledgement by the managerial staff. The most disappointing part of the experience was the lack of managerial involvement. Considering the problems that we had with the dinner, I expected a manager to present him/herself to the table, apologize and offer some sort of compensation. All of these issues made the evening less than stellar. For the price ($50/person), I expect better service and more consistent meal preparation. I won't be back to this restaurant any time soon. There are much better options within walking distance.
