    I dined here on a Thursday at 4:30 pm for a work event with my team. The Prima team did not miss a beat. We had a fantastic experience. The space is stunning with a gorgeous peak-a-book kitchen and beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was flavorful and perfectly plated. The bread plated was the best fresh ricotta with a hit of sesame I've had in the city! A must-try. We tried many cocktails with the favorite being the Prima martini. The manager Andrew and his team were attentive, knowledgable, and incredibly hospitable. If you haven't tried this spot it's a must!

    Had a great dinner at Red Fox! The pasta was delicious and couldn’t go wrong with the vodka or pesto option. We sat at the bar and the bartender Brent was friendly, kind, and made our experience better.

    Lovely Mother’s Day brunch with my boys. Was it worth $50 per person. I’m not 100% sure. I understand with inflation etc. Maybe I would have expected at least one adult beverage included. For example one mimosa included with the price. We all enjoyed the food. I understand we paid for the experience. We like the trap and have enjoyed dinner and drinks there before. And will continue to do so. But I’m just not sure the brunch was worth the cost. I’m honestly not complaining. My husband and I went back that very night for a few drinks and appetizers.
