This wasn’t our first rodeo here, but it was the final act for Prima Donna, so a return visit only made sense. We kicked things off with the octopus, lamb chops, and spicy vodka pasta—each dish was superb, with flavors hitting all the right notes. The drinks were, as always, on point. Our server, Kory, was an absolute delight, full of energy. The DJ kept the vibe going all night with great throwback jams. It was perfect!

It was amazing, lovely quiet space, amazing view of the kitchen, however the service felt rushed and it seemed like they were more on top of clearing the table of empty dishes than the actual server checking in on you

It was our first time to “Prima Donna” restaurant. My husband and I live in Palm Springs; we were in the area for a friend’s art showing and chose your restaurant because of its nearby, convenient location ( the art gallery is right down the street). Everything about your restaurant was top-notch. The service, the ambience ( we were seated outside on your patio). I ordered a kale salad that we shared which was delicious! I had the Margarita pizza ( one of the best I’ve tasted in a long time!), my husband had the meatballs with bread which he devoured. Our server was extremely personable, and attentive. We would definitely return to your restaurant! I give our experience at your restaurant a five out of five stars!

They do not validate and parking is far too expensive at the Ivy Station. Great food!

Was here for Dine LA Tuesday July 16th and for a bday party - The tasting menu was a good way to give the restaurant a test with 4 people ordering off of it- The octopus was my favorite - the two pasta dishes were both on point and the hanger steak pretty good - My meat could have been a bit more tender but all and all it was just fine. The deserts of a pistachio cake and the sorbet were both very nice as well. For me the octopus was the standout but everything else was in the B+ range with the hanger steak falling to a B-. The only weak part of the entire evening was the parking situation - we parked in public parking and it was $16 for TWO HOURS> WHAT A RIPOFF and left us wondering why and how - deftly not how you want to leave the experience. Not sure if valet was less money but it could not have been more!

This place is so beautiful! We sat outside and all the green surrounding us was lovely. There was a DJ but it still wasn’t too loud. The food was delicious! We had the yellowtail curdo with Sicilian olivada, the kale Cesar, Tara Donna pasta, the spaghetti lobster pasta and finished with the lemon pistachios cake! Favorites: The curdo was perfectly balanced with the Freshness of the yellowtail and the light saltiness of olivada. Lobster spaghetti was flavorful and the lobster cooked perfectly! That Lemon pistachios cake !!! AMAZING! I’m not into dessert because they can be too sweet for my liking but this cake was perfect! Definitely going back !
