    My steak was too salty as well as fatty. Not worth the $$$.

    Visited for dinner on a Friday evening. Everything about the restaurant was excellent, from the ambience ( small dining g room, which made noise level less than in many steakhouses), to the service ( impeccable and attentive but not intrusive! Maria was our server and she was knowledgeable about the entire menu). Now the food… amazing! Everything about it was wonderful. We will definitely return. Be prepared to pay premium prices, but it is well worth it.

    Food is exceptional. The tuna crudo is phenomenal. And the mushroom appetizer was Lucious. I had the veal chop - need I say anything more?? My wife and daughter each had the filet mignon, cook exactly how ordered. Our other guests shared the skirt steak, I special that day. The 2 bottles of Barolo wine kept the conversation lively while we enjoyed our food. Geraldo, our server, was excellent. And of course, Zach made everything hum like a well oiled machine. What is amazing is that it was Easter Sunday yet everything was outstanding regardless of the "packed house" on a holiday. It is our go to place for entertaining and impressing our guests.

    This was our first time to Primi and we were very impressed. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Our table ordered the Jumbo Shrimp, Beef Wellington, Pork Chop, Filet Mignon, and the Lamb. All were satisfied. Our waitstaff were very attentive and friendly.

    Tried a new place for our anniversary dinner, and kids free night. Had a drink at the bar, didn’t catch his name, but he made great drinks. Sat for dinner, greeted with “happy anniversary!” From all the staff. (side note, the hostess was so super sweet and accommodating!) Our waitress Kaitlyn (sorry if I misspelled it) She was fantastic. She was working with another server. Busser was also great. Ambiance was perfect As for food: pasta was on point. Steak was.. okay? For a porterhouse it was good. Not my favorite, but I’m picky, didn’t care for the creamed spinach, which is my go to favorite side. We were calling it a “one and done”. But the pleasantry of the staff, and the personal touches for our anniversary (champagne and dessert) made us rethink taking another 45 min drive out there. Trying more of the Italian side of “Italian steak house” Honestly, it was just the great people working tonight that made me want to come back. Food is food. But I’ll go again for the service. Thank you.

    Great atmosphere and bar. Food was subpar - bland and tasteless.

    My dining experience was very well, except for the table being very small. It was very loud in there.Couldn't really have a conversation. The food was deliciousThe dessert was delicious. The wine prices were a little over the top.

    Food and service were great. I didn’t realize the restaurant was kid friendly. I thought the menu (and prices) implied a higher end restaurant. I was sat next to a family. The kids were standing and walking around the table. Then one threw a glass off the table and it shattered next to me. I left my kids at home for a romantic date night and was disappointed.
