    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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    My partner and I ate at 730 for Valentine’s Day. We were sat in the back, which was a bit quieter than the main area, and we were served promptly with excellent customer service. We ordered calamari and the New York steak special, and everything was delicious. Our bill was just over $100 for the two steak meals (which each came with two sides), the calamari, three soft drinks, tax and tip. The ambience was cozy and intimate, with tables for two set with flowers and electric candles. I will be coming here again and I recommend it to anyone looking for a nice dinner out.

    The food is some of the best I’ve ever had. The BLT— you wouldn’t expect that mix of flavors— is unbelievable, 100/10. The tuna tostada is so delicious that we had to order more because we couldn’t get enough. The shrimp baos are amazing, and the drinks are great. Super fun vibe! Prices are excellent. Now I know why everybody is talking about Little Donkey.

    My girlfriend and I both work in hospitality and came for an early Valentine's dinner since we have to work for it. Our waiter, Jimmy, was amazing, we ordered all of our food at once and asked Jimmy to pace it out using his judgement. We also asked for recommendations on a fruity/dry Wine pairing, which he did wonderfully and paired with multiple items we ordered. Everything was delicious and the oyster mushrooms were spectacular. To end our meal they brought us over a delicious digestivo and even got us a reservation downstairs at Hecate following our dinner. Amazing experiences thank you!
