It is the next morning after my visit to Prima and I am already wondering when I can get another visit on my calendar. Everything was phenomenal! Emily M was our server and she was the best! My roommate is gluten free and she shared all of the gluten free options and her personal favorites since she herself was gluten free! It was awesome- she was attentive and always checked in at exactly the right moment. I enjoyed a glass of Savvy B, a Cosmo, and one of the tiramisu espresso martinis and all of them were to die for (don't even get me started on the marscapone cream!!) We both got the Penne Alla Vodka and it was so good I dreamed about it. The chili crunch added the nicest bit of spice to the dish. I am legitimately itching to go back.

The restaurant is cozy (i.e. small), but they use the space well. Food, drinks, ambiance, and service are 10/10. My guests had dietary restrictions that the kitchen was able to accommodate easily (including veganism). Overall, a great birthday dinner experience! I'll be back.

We had the ten courses tasting menu. Everything was amazing; the creativity in preparation and the layers of flavor in each taste were incredible, and the service was top-notch. This is sushi above and beyond! It’s not inexpensive, but well worth it for a special night out.
