    Was a great environment and view. The food was good, but not as good as the price or the view. It is very close to being great. 4 different entrees, all were lacking the wow factor

    We had a lovely table for our group of 6 Service was quick and waitresses were very attentive. Portions were very generous. Marsala was delicious and the polenta cake with my entree was surprisingly delicious. Meat balls and spaghetti was a very generous serving. Enjoy the atmosphere and the beautiful view of the city. Always a special treat dining at Prima vista! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Celebrating my college graduation here was AMAZING! We had a larger group and they accommodated us very well. Our waitress was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the vibes were perfect. Most of my family came from out of town and they are still talking about how amazing it was. Would come back in a heartbeat!

    We took our Real Estate team here for dinner and it was fantastic! The view is gorgeous, especially at night. The waitress and other staff were very friendly and attentive. All of us agreed that our food was delicious. We had appetizers, main dishes, and dessert. Before tip for 6 of us with alcohol, our bill was under $600

    The atmosphere is old school fine dining with a great view. The service is great and the food is good. Not over the top but nice in general. I had the veal and it was somewhat bland and tough. My wife had a past dish that was excellent. We will go back.
