    Disappointed in their new menu. They significantly raised their prices. The Oscar style Ribeye with Crab was terrible, they don’t serve it with Jumbo Lump crab like they use to, it’s canned backfin crab meat. Terrible. Won’t be returning back here again.

    Celebrated New Year’s Eve here. This was our first time dining at Elk Ave Prime and it did not disappoint. Everything was fantastic! Excellent drinks and wine selection. Our waiter, Kevin was amazing. Service was superb. Filet mignon was awesome. It practically melts in your mouth. The lobster ravioli was great. Be sure to add lobster to the Mac and cheese. This is absolutely one of the best meals I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to go back. It’s pricey but worth it. Be sure to get reservations well in advance if you’re going during the holidays.

    Made reservations for this place and only the bar was available. They sat us next to the kitchen at the very end of the bar. It wouldn’t have been as big of an issue if they would have moved us to other seating along the bar that had empty seats. They finally moved us after we told them it was our anniversary. Also ordered my steak MR and couldn’t tell if it was cooked properly due to the low lighting. The steaks were subpar at best with hardly any real flavor. My brother could have made a better steak. For the price overall, the place was not worth it.

    Great experience! I thought the final cost for everything was overvalued, however, worth paying. Food was great and service was great.
