Very good and inventive food. Unusual combinations. Noise level is very high. Hope they can find ways to improve it. Hard to have a conversation.

Wonderful to eat Italian where the chef realizes that Italian food is more than garlic. Loved the food and will be back soon.

Prime is one of my favorite restaurants in Stamford. My brother and I both had steak. The filet mignon and skirt steak were cooked perfectly. The sides were also excellent. I was disappointed with the martini. The glass wasn’t completely full after the pour and the waitress had to go back to the bartender to get more martini! It’s the food (and a good wine list) that keeps me coming back!
