I got the prime rib which was cooked perfectly. My girlfriend got the fillet with béarnaise and loved it. The sides were great. I didn’t care for the house salad that we split, but I loved the clams casino. And our server was old-school wonderful.

We're from out of town so it had been 20 years since we last went to this classic old fashioned steak house. Essentially not much has changed (the prices), but it remains a wonderful place for a special night out. Personable staff (our waiter Nathan was terrific), efficient but unobtrusive service, classy atmosphere, lovely background music by the duo on piano and bass.

Service was quite a bit slower than normal. Not as attentive. Missed the old cocktail napkins which were always a cute touch. Food was great and contrails were really good. Prices seem to be up which I guess is a result of inflation.

As always our family thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Prime Rib in Baltimore. Our waiter was perfect, live jazz trio was excellent, and the food was delicious! Can’t get enough of those Greenberg potato skins! We were celebrating a birthday so the waiter brought out a delicious slice of chocolate mousse cake with vanilla sauce and whipped cream, sliced strawberries and chocolate graham cracker crust. The four of us shared it and loved every bite. The Prime Rib is one of our absolute favorite restaurants. It’s pricey so we don’t go often but it’s worth every penny when we do!

We decided to have Easter Dinner at The Prime Rib. The food and service will not disappoint! The fresh rockfish topped with crab imperial was delicious, as was the filet of beef. Sides are large enough to share. Our favorites are creamed spinach and the potato skins with two toppings, horseradish cream and sour cream and chive. On Sunday nights they offer some 1/2 price wines by the bottle. They make a respectable Manhattan and the house made cheesecake with strawberries kept the ladies happy. Love, love, love this fine Baltimore establishment! My favorite restaurant in Baltimore! The staff took excellent care of us! Thank you!!!!

The Prime Rib never disappoints. Classic restaurant, excellent service, great food, and wonderful atmosphere. Free valet parking. A nice place for that special occasion or for a night of escape. Bar is an alternative for less expensive selections than the main dining room. We have been going there since the 1970's it is always a great experience!

I have been patronizing this fine dining establishment since its inception in 1965, which was furing my tour of duty with the U. S. Navy in Washington D.C. I return here two to three times annually, for the last 55 years. I/we have a preferred waiter, Bobby.

While our server was great, overall service was slow. Food was well-prepared, but not overly exciting. The potato skins were the highlight of the meal. Entire experience, however, was negatively impacted by the live music. It was distractingly loud in such a small venue.

We dined at The Prime Rib for the very first time in celebration of my husband’s birthday. It was truly a luxurious dining experience. The food, ambiance and live piano aided to the experience. Service was impeccable. The only caveat is that gratuity was added to the check and we only had a party of 4. Not sure if this is the new trend or not, but it can end up not being so great for the server. A higher tip could be missed when this happens.

This was our first time at the Prime Rib, after hearing wonderful things. We basically got the entire menu. Seafood and steaks, you can't go wrong. Ribeye is about about 28 ounces but still nicely marbled and juicy. Prime rib was tender as well. Lots of options to add things onto your dish or get a variety of sides. The potato skin basket was worth it as well, even though its much less sophisticated than the rest of the menu. The staff and ambiance are wonderful. A great first experience and a wonderful option for a celebration.

Steak sourcing could be a lot better. The Prime Rib Steak (bone-in ribeye) was tough and full of unchewable sinew. It was ordered medium-rare and it was cooked blue rare in many spots, basically inedible. The service was great. The ambiance was great. The food was not.
