    We had a wonderful time and so enjoyed our shared plates! The Focaccia, pickled corn pancakes, patatas bravas & grilled NY Strip were our choices. They all were amazing and true perfection! We shared the key lime mousse & smoked chocolate bread pudding for dessert which were equally outstanding! Can’t wait to return to our new favorite spot! Thanks for a perfect night!

    Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Everything was fantastic. Came during Valentine's week and it was packed! Glad we made a reservation a few weeks prior. Even with the crowd, the service and food was top notch. We had been once before and thought it was a solid choice for date night. This time, they knocked it out of the park. We will be back to try our the chef's counter experience!!

    Unusual organization of the menu, but it works great - just ask the server for help. You compose your dinner from a large menu, with almost everything available as full or half portions. You can experience a lot of tastes without overeating.
