    Never fails - outstanding dinner. We were excited about the midweek special as both menu offerings were our favorite. The host did an excellent job making sure we got a great window seat to enjoy the beautiful snowy night. We even popped in the bar for a drink before being seated just to extend our night out. Bartender was delightful and the cocktails great. Alex our server did a great job explaining the menu - although we knew what we were ordering. Everything came out perfectly. The tenderloin special was a generous portion and very good. The Cioppino- my favorite- was full of fish (2) mussels, shrimp, clams and a mildly spicy broth. Absolutely delicious! And with salad included with our dinner. A great value 👍🏻👍🏻 Oh and then the dessert 🍮 Perfect way to spend a snowy Thursday night.

    Out of town guests, first time at Prima Vista. Everything was great. We had excellent service and the food was outstanding. I frequently prefer the cioppino and Sunday's was better than usual. The veal special was excellent as the veal always is. What really makes a special dinner even more special id the view. Sunday was an interesting perspective as snow flurries first obscured the view of downtown and then cleared. Outstanding.
