I was hoping to try their deviled eggs, but they are only served in the restaurant after 4:00 pm. We both had the lobster rolls. Ample amount of lobster. Crispy buttery "toast". In my personal opinion, I wish there was a little more mayo. I like mine to be a little more "wet" and it really pulls all the flavors. We also had dinner. I was able to try the deviled eggs. They are gooood. Perfectly boiled and the filling was piped very nicely. Firm and good flavors. We did add the caviar. Caviar was good, nice amount of salty kick. My husband was not as impressed with the caviar. Said it was better without. He ordered the Roasted Halibut (asparagus, roasted fingerlings, cherry tomato, lemon caper beerre blanc.) He said it was cook perfectly great blending flavors. Only compliant, it was a small piece of fish. I orders the Fra Diavolo (maine lobster, linguine, calabrian chile) Wow. This was soo delicious. Lobster in anything is a must. The linguine was perfect. The sauce. Of the sauce was light and flavorful. I loved that it had a nice heat and spice but it was not overwhelming. I think this would also be nice for someone that is not a fan of spicy. Our waitress Emma was wonderful!

We didn't eat but we drank out of glasses. I had no ice. Just beer in a glass. There is a dishwasher up stairs that must not be functioning correctly. Or one can safely assume.

Fifth or sixth time here, mostly because I forgot it was only ok. Food is ok. After you're seated,…read moreservice is ok. BUT they let you stand in the hot sun in front of what seems like the door, they clearly see you standing there, but they don't tell you to enter from the side until 10 minutes have gone by. Takeaway: enter from the side. And then, if you're one of the MILLIONS of people who can't eat mayonnaise based sauces, then you're out of luck, especially if you want one of the specials, because they will not leave the aioli off the special. Even though it's a sauce at the bottom of the plate. No, sorry. I mean, Le Bernardin doesn't do that unnecessarily pretentious stuff. Only average. Except the stuffy attitude. Will pass next time.

It's got so much character, and the people running it are some of the nicest humans ever. I don't think I've ever left without a smile on my face, or without a bottle (or two) of something new and interesting. Their selection is incredible; not just wine, but also vermouths, Campari, and even pasta and bread?! Like, what don't they do? And the vibes??! Perfection. In the winter, it gives a mix of Scandinavia and Spain, and I'm so here for it. Oh, and they have a full wine bar with pours and bites. Just go... you'll thank me later.

Best service in town, good food, and amazing view…read more We came into town this week for a vacation. For whatever reason this restaurant didn't pop up in my suggested restaurants. We discovered this place because we stayed at the hotel the restaurant is located in. We ended up eating here once for dinner and once for breakfast. We had the halibut at the oyster bar next door and the halibut at the oak room... Oak Room was much better. But the biggest differentiator was the service. Everyone at the Oak Room was so hospitable and seemed to genuinely enjoy the job (quite the opposite of next door). If you get a chance be sure to have a muffin at breakfast. They're delicious.

We always make a reservation but they do reserve some seats at the bar for walk-ins. On our last visit, I started with the stuffed zucchini blossoms. Not to brag, but I once won a cooking contest in NYC for "best appetizer" with my own stuffed zucchini blossoms, so I order them whenever I see them on a menu. These were better than mine. The secret was the breading: chick pea flour instead of the cornmeal I always use. Then I enjoyed the fresh, local, rare tuna--perfect! My husband had an elaborate beet salad, then steak. He was very happy. Service is friendly and professional, with thoughtful recommendations for wine pairings. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have been celebrating as many anniversaries as we can at Primo. With the exception of…read more2020 and 2025 we haven't missed a year. However. This year made us realize that this is our last year. It was our 25th and we were looking forward to it. It started with the hostess who was annoyed that we showed up 7 minutes early for our reservation and told us they were running on time and to take a walk in the garden and come back at the exact time of our reservation. Which we did. We were seated by the manager who seemed impatient. He handed us the menus and walked off. A detail I didn't consider until I noticed that the other manger handed the menus and went over some drink specials and menu specials. Our server was nice in the beginning although seemingly distracted. We found out a little later they had a wedding party upstairs and the kitchen was behind. We didn't mind because we were there for the experience as much as the food. However as the night rolled on and things took longer and longer, the staff seemed more and more annoyed with us for ordering our meal. By the end of the meal, our server asked if we wanted a cheese or dessert service and seemed very annoyed when we said yes. At this point we were 2 1/2 hours in and they wanted us out. However, we were still there because it had taken so long for our service and food. In the end we split a strawberry shortcake, which was very good, I had a coffee, and we got out of there. They wanted us out and we didn't want to stay any more. What is sad is we have been celebrating our anniversary for 20 years there as often as we can and this, our 25th was the worse experience we have ever had and we won't return. It broke our hearts.
