Went to Primi for the first time. We were seated immediately but near the bar. The noise level was intense. We’re older people so could barely hear each other. I have to say the food was delish. We shared a wedge salad; he got the filet and I got the Wellington. Next time I would say sauce on the side. Way too much and it made a mess of the delicious mashed potatoes that came with it. The crème brûlée and cappucino were outstanding. I would go back but next time ask for a table in the other room when I make the reservation.
