Service was nothing special, waited 10 minutes for our reservation that it took the waiter another 10 minutes to get to our table once we were seated. Leaving was a NIGHTMARE!! Traffic jam at the valet, we waited another 10 minutes in the cold for our uber who got stuck in the congestion. The vallets seemed to get into to a fight, which made things worse. Eventually our uber was able to back out…. We had to walk through the snow, and across Cicero to meet him on the street…terrible ! We use to come here all the time this place is NOT what it used to be. We had not been back in a year, cause this place has fallen off. After this experience we will NOT Be back! Wasted $350 to be inconvenienced

Had an amazing valentines day at stefani’s prime. Food is amazing, drinks are a bit in the expensive side but its an upper class restaurant so you kinda know that going in. Valet workers were so kind and helpful. Service is top tier.

The service was excellent. The food was very good. We had the meatball appetizer and 2 pasta dishes. I had a glass of pino noir and my friend had the pomegranate drink. I can’t remember the name. Both were very good. The valet service was also excellent. My only complaint is when I booked the reservations there was only a 2:30 and a 2:45 seating. When we came in there were a lot of open tables. We left at 4 and only a quarter of the restaurant was full.
