    Food was great, however, we waited a very long time just to get our drinks & then our food. Got there around 8:30p & ended up leaving around 11p due to service. I had to find a server to take the bill so we could leave. Also mentioned it was my boyfriend’s birthday & nothing was done. Disappointing experience but food was great.

    Been here once before and had a good experience. Ate tonight and the tables were so close together that all my boyfriend and I could hear was the conversation of the two influencers next to us as they also took photos of themselves with flash. We literally sat there almost mute the whole time bc we couldn’t hear anything over our neighbors. Waited over an hour for entrees once we had placed our order. Someone did come over and apologize but when the food arrived it was warm at best. The food was good but when it’s not hot, it takes away from the whole experience and taste. It was a disappointing experience for the cost of the food and what we were hoping would be an enjoyable night.

    It is the next morning after my visit to Prima and I am already wondering when I can get another visit on my calendar. Everything was phenomenal! Emily M was our server and she was the best! My roommate is gluten free and she shared all of the gluten free options and her personal favorites since she herself was gluten free! It was awesome- she was attentive and always checked in at exactly the right moment. I enjoyed a glass of Savvy B, a Cosmo, and one of the tiramisu espresso martinis and all of them were to die for (don't even get me started on the marscapone cream!!) We both got the Penne Alla Vodka and it was so good I dreamed about it. The chili crunch added the nicest bit of spice to the dish. I am legitimately itching to go back.

    Very limited menu. We had a very nice server, but unfortunately waited close to an hour for our food. The manager brought us over a complimentary salad to make up for the ridiculous wait. We were told they had two large parties to deal with, evidently not enough help. This was our second time there, waited last time too, will not be going back,

    Had a wonderful dinner here last week. Nice ambience and vibe. Noise level is a little high so conversation can be difficult e at times. Special shout out to Geronimo the sommelier- he was excellent.
