    Our dinner at Prime & Provisions was outstanding. We started with handcrafted cocktails, each made with a special twist. Our server Drew was exceptional. He was attentive and engaging, explaining the menu and making sure our glasses were never empty (including our teen who was enjoying Shirley Temples). Our food was superb. My husband and one of our daughters enjoyed steaks, another daughter and I went with the Dover sole with the most delicious beurre blanc sauce, and our youngest enjoyed an off menu hamburger that Drew told her about. The sides were a hit as well - the mashed potatoes should not be missed! We ended the evening with the sundae cart and the banana cream pie. My only complaint of the evening was that we waited 25 minutes after our reservation time to be seated. We had cocktails while we waited, but 25 minutes seemed a bit long to have to wait. After 15 minutes I expect a restaurant to offer a small apology - comp an app, offer an amuse bouche, just something to acknowledge the inconvenience. Once we were seated the wait time was quickly forgotten and we had a wonderful night.

    Stunning ambience, energetic vibe, creative cocktails (cheers to you, Rowan!), and very friendly service (thank you, Connor!). Most importantly, the food was beyond fantastic! The 4 of us loved loved loved the beautiful sashimi platter assortment, sushi hand rolls, hamachi styled tuna garnished with green peppers, and steamed pork buns for appetizers. Our entrees were unanimous hits, with melt-in-your-mouth pork belly with a yummy coconut sauce, perfectly prepared grilled veggies in a nice lightly spicy sauce, and a couple of stand-out sushi rolls (rainbow roll and tuna & mango roll). Each plate was perfect for sharing so everyone could savor the wide variety in Sunda’s amazing menu! We topped off our dinner with a heavenly bowl of halo-halo. A perfect dining experience from beginning to end! A huge Thank You to the entire cooking staff of Sunda - Fulton Market for their incredible culinary skills. We will be back!

    Had dinner last night at Gino & Marty’s. Our first waiter was Julio and he was amazing. He took his time to explain the specials, drinks and dishes on the menu. He was funny yet very personable and professional. The food was amazing! EVERYTHING!! The bread, grilled oysters, pasta, steak and broccolini were all amazing. I will definitely be back!
