    Good food and service but felt a little rushed, wasn’t that crowded at first, and we’re not drinkers

    First time in and will certainly be back. Not sure there’s a better view of the city anywhere and both the food and service were exceptional.

    We had not been to Primavista since November 29, 2024, and I was having massive withdrawal symptoms I had been stuck on my property since January 6, 2025, and I felt so good when the meal was over -- and, of course -- we sliced up most of my filet m. with a salad the next night!!!!

    Excellent service with a waiter who was perfectly attentive. We both ordered grouper with lump crab/add linguini and it was delicious. Nice Sauvignon Blanc recommended by our waiter. We also ordered one veal meatball as an appetizer and it was so good as well. Gorgeous view and intimate setting.

    Never fails - outstanding dinner. We were excited about the midweek special as both menu offerings were our favorite. The host did an excellent job making sure we got a great window seat to enjoy the beautiful snowy night. We even popped in the bar for a drink before being seated just to extend our night out. Bartender was delightful and the cocktails great. Alex our server did a great job explaining the menu - although we knew what we were ordering. Everything came out perfectly. The tenderloin special was a generous portion and very good. The Cioppino- my favorite- was full of fish (2) mussels, shrimp, clams and a mildly spicy broth. Absolutely delicious! And with salad included with our dinner. A great value 👍🏻👍🏻 Oh and then the dessert 🍮 Perfect way to spend a snowy Thursday night.
