    Went here for Valentine’s Day and had the 5 course tasting menu, no wine pairing. Sea Bass and Steak were both excellent. The meringue desert ice cream / sorbet with sponge cake was also fantastic. Overall, left satisfied with the food and service, but the restaurant is very overpriced.

    Our dinner here was outstanding. We went on Valentine’s Day, which is a crazy day for any restaurant, but they did a wonderful job. Our table was ready at the reservation time, service was prompt and friendly, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed every dish we had, from appetizer to dessert. And the fresh bread with dips…wow. I could eat that all day!

    What do lead with?? Server Freddy (from NW Mexico) made us feel like we were in his kitchen with his mom cooking. Owner Eric picked up on my SLIGHT eye cue and came right over to make sure we were really enjoying ourselves in his restaurant. And the food: Best nachos we have ever eaten. And tacos. We've got to go back to comment on more food items. THANK YOU for making us so happy and providing a level of hospitality that many places in Boston do not understand.

    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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
