    Somewhat pricey but the food was very good. Service was pleasant and efficient. Wines were expensive. Lowest price was $50. My husband says he wouldn’t choose to go back. I would, but only for a special occasion, as we don’t tend to spend $300 (including an appetizer $22, two mains $74, a bottle of $75 wine (retails at $25), two desserts $30, an espresso $5, one liqueur $9 and tip. Some may feel this is good value. For us, it was a bit high. Overall it was a positive experience.

    Only thing that could make my experience better was if the noise level was a little lower. I love Primal and the food never disappoints. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone!

    Each one of our meals was unique and delicious (table of six). We left feeling happy, the food was sooo good. The hit was the spaghetti limone.

    We love it here! This was our second time, a year later and the menu has been taken to the next level! The bison carpaccio was unreal! From the drinks, to the oysters and meals, oh and the tirrimisu was to die for!... everything was spot on perfect. We can't wait to be back again!

    The tasting menu food and our server was outstanding as always! The food is pricey and it's fairly loud in there but it's worth it. Highly recommend!
