    The food was really good from the complimentary cornbread to the Boston cream pie. We had the cold plate with clams, oysters, and shrimp and a cold lobster roll. It was a slow night off-season but still amazing. Our server was attentive and the overall ambiance was nice.

    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!

    Second time here, this time for my husband's birthday and everything was amazing. Food was amazing and the dessert martinis were quite literally liquid dessert. Martini with a little scoop of ice cream/gelato in there.

    We were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!
