Amazing food and service! Great date night experience with wonderful food and wine. The service was terrific. Our waiter had great recommendations. Everything was so good. Make reservations a week in advance for a weekend, especially if you want to eat inside. It is a small and intimate place but worth the planning!

I would consider my husband and I foodies for sure. We love trying new things and we love GOOD food. We did a random date night and I highly recommend this place, especially if you’re one that loves trying different things. Every dish we had was delightful. We had a hard time picking our favorite of them all. We had a filet dish, shrimp dish, truffle mushroom dish, and a pesto pasta dish. We also had a cocktail each. I got my norm (a dirty martini) and it was made perfectly which I usually have issues with. My husband had a drink that is similar to an old fashion. It was also delightful. Super smooth. Of the food, my husbands fav dish was the pasta, and mine was a close call between the pasta or shrimp dish. Our waitress was super helpful and patient with our decision-making haha. She helped recommend things and talked through each dish. I loved that the dishes were almost like appetizers so you can try a bunch of dishes and not get stuffed off of one. Each dish is around $16 unless you get the more expensive selections. The vibe was great. My only complaint was it was noisier than I was expecting. But, I had someone tell me it was a quiet place so that’s what I was expecting. Had I not been expecting a quiet sit-down, it wouldn’t have bothered me. It wasn’t loud, just not a quiet place. You can make a reservation online. While I was at work I put in for us to get a table and we got one for 8:00 pm. This was on a Monday, though. So weekends, I’m sure, are pretty busy. We will 100% be back to this place!

Primrose Path Wine Bar was such a huge surprise. The tapas were excellent & so was the service, wine list & decor. It was first class. Our server, Emma, did an incredible job of steering us through the best items on the menu. The crab cakes, Filet Mignonette empanadas & pasta dishes were fantastic. Just passing through College Station & so happy we found Primrose Path and we will definitely come back as we’d also like to try the Republic Steak house next door. Highly recommend!!

I had read mixed reviews on the Filet Mignon Empanadas, but decided to try them anyway. They looked like they had been baked but server said fried. I doubt this, but either way, the dough was hard and dry, and the filet small and flavorless.
