A Berg Hospitality Group original concept, Prime 131 is a live-fire steakhouse and sushi bar within a revamped industrial space at The Docks at Timbergrove. Evoking the electric ambiance of New York’s chic yet edgy Meatpacking District in the early 90s, Prime 131 ignites a fresh dining experience in Houston where the artistry of grilling takes center stage.

A protein-forward concept with Korean and Japanese influence, Prime 131 creates a completely unique meat experience where diners watch their meal be prepared on four central wood fire grills and two Josper charcoal ovens. In addition, a full sushi bar and four Korean barbeque style tables offer curated experiences featuring some of the most exclusive cuts in the world.

Overall a very disappointing birthday dinner experience. Table not ready at the reserved time. Server did not know menu or wine well. No Somm. Wrong wine brought to table. Food brought out cold and poorly timed - my wife’s burger was 10 min after everyone else’s. Check was incorrect and had to be changed. Manager tried very hard to make things right but could only do so much. Do not recommend. Disappointing.

1/11/25 we had two trips. 1st Apps and Drinks were great and food and service was perfect. Appetizers were incredible and Bourbon selection was on point. After that trip we went to a Candlelight Show a few minutes a way and returned to Prime for a desert and drink. That was the worst service we had. No one at the bar wanted to provide service, they close at 11 and we got there at 10. My party was very disappointed in the service to so we just left to find another place. It is sad to see a nice place with poor service.

I wish I had better things to say about this restaurant, I was so excited to eat there. Hospitality and service were pretty good! Not exceptional but that’s okay. However the food was below subpar, everything tasted like fireworks. Just burnt, char flavor on everything. The vegetables had no flavor other than smoke. I didn’t see the bill but I know that we paid way too much for that food. At a table of 8, everyone had the same things to say about the food.

The food was outstanding. But The music was so loud we could not hear each other talk at the table. The waiter was great but talked to us a little too much and interrupted several of our conversations. We were there as a family to catch up and could barely finish a conversation with him hovering over us
