    We dined here on Thanksgiving Day. We made our reservation somewhat blindly, having researched restaurants that would be open than day but we didn’t know anything about it. The front desk staff was exemplary and it was nice to be able to check our coats. A special Thanksgiving menu as well as the regular menu were available. In general the service was excellent. We waited longer than we would have preferred for our credit card to be picked up at the end of the meal, but that is a minor quibble. We would return here for a special occasion.

    Primrose is a regular favorite and rarely does it disappoint. We were able to enjoy apps and drinks off of the Social menu. Staff is always professional and attentive. Short Ribs entree was wonderfully done. The lamb entree was flavorful but the majority of the cut was a large bone and a lot fat. Will not be ordering it again.

    Amazing locally owned restaurant here in Steamboat. The owner greets you when you walk in, the service is outstanding and their menu is a real value in this mountain town without compromising quality. An absolutely wonderful place to dine and there are always new surprises with their happy hour menu. And the pork beef cheeks - one of the best entrees ever!
