    Primavista has always had outstanding service and food. The ambience is always wonderful and laid back. They pulled out all the stops for my birthday dinner party. Our server, Anthony, was excellent and on point in every way. I felt very important and attended to.

    Service and food were excellent. Took my family here for Christmas since my wife and i had a great experience our previous visit. I left my wallet there a couple of months ago and they kindly called me right away. So, we came back for the repeat visit. I had the cioppino. Fabulous!

    Was a great environment and view. The food was good, but not as good as the price or the view. It is very close to being great. 4 different entrees, all were lacking the wow factor
