    The best steak and sides we’ve ever had at a resteraunt in our area. The steak is on a hot cast iron plate and stays warm throughout. The mashed potatoes taste like a twice baked without the skin. Serving size is plentiful. The waiter, busman, Chef, lady tending bar were so nice and always smiling. The design of dining room felt elegant. Their menu has various cuisines to choose from. We’ve been wanting to try Primo since they opened but never got around to it. Always navigating to places we’ve been. Well today is our anniversary and wanted to go somewhere special so we decided to eat at Primo. We are very happy that we made reservations. Primo is now our number one steakhouse!!!

    We dined in the bar area at one of the high top tables next to the outdoor enclosed heated patio. Enjoyed the fireplaces and heaters with the open air. Decided to try their early dinner Pork chop special and you couldn’t go wrong! It was such a large portion and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the early dining option and will definitely be back!
