    Our experience at Prime was WONDERFUL! We took our 10-year old family member for her birthday! They made a custom menu, which she loved! She also loved our waitress, Grace! Grace absolutely knocked it out of the park and made our visit memorable! The steak was cooked perfectly and delicious! The French onion soup is a must!

    I previously went here during burger week and loved the ambience during the late summer/early fall. Me and a few girlfriends wanted a calm night out and I suggested Overlook. They were blown away by how sophisticated things felt while still being comfortable. The food was great, wine was delicious, and we stayed until close. We were greeted warmly when we left, told about the upcoming events and they thanked us kindly for being there. It made us feel very valued and appreciated. We will definitely be back!
