Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food that we had on Valentine's Day was five-star. The beet and spinach salad was presented in an artistic way that I would say is picture worthy. The scallop entrees were very good and were followed by an outstanding raspberry lemon tart.. Overall, we were pleased by the food. The service was a little slow but we understand that the holiday created a very busy restaurant.

Amazing. We were late to our reservation due to a car accident in the highway and they were very understanding. The service was amazing it was extremely beautiful in the restaurant. The food was 10/10.

My girlfriend and I both work in hospitality and came for an early Valentine's dinner since we have to work for it. Our waiter, Jimmy, was amazing, we ordered all of our food at once and asked Jimmy to pace it out using his judgement. We also asked for recommendations on a fruity/dry Wine pairing, which he did wonderfully and paired with multiple items we ordered. Everything was delicious and the oyster mushrooms were spectacular. To end our meal they brought us over a delicious digestivo and even got us a reservation downstairs at Hecate following our dinner. Amazing experiences thank you!
