    Excellently prepared food with a Maryland flavor, plenty of choice from both sea and land. Wine list is comprehensive and reasonably priced. Dessert is always a highlight, the house made Candy Bar is a favorite.

    We went for my birthday last night and it was fabulous. My daughters, ages 4 and 8, love the charcuterie, and did great splitting a Caesar salad and a pasta dish. My husband and I split a steak, and with dessert, it was the perfect meal.

    We had dinner last night at The Prime Rib. Simply fabulous...The food was delicious, prepared exactly as we requested. The atmosphere was filled with light jazz. All that being said, the service was second to none! Nathan waited on us and he could not have been more professional and kind. He treated us like family. We could not recommend The Prime Rib more highly and be sure to ask for Nathan!!
