Service is pretty good. The restaurant was VERY hot and stuffy. I was sweating halfway through our meal. Our server forgot half our order. Then, people kept stopping by every 10-15 minutes asking how it was. We ordered the 16 Oz. ribeye (dry aged for 45 days). My wife's was okay. Mine was tough. Neither had much marbling. Both were kind of dry with little seasoning. We had to add A1 or their 'house' steak sauce (which tasted more like BBQ sauce) to impart any flavor to the meat. My lobster (after it was finally brought to the table, late) was steamed, not broiled, and tasteless. My side was their specialty potato, which is baked, scooped out, whipped with a little cheese (and heavy cream, I think) then put back in the skin with a little bacon on top. I missed the standard 'loaded' potato at other steak houses. Wifey had the Brussels, probably the best dish on the table, with a nice glaze, some type of meat shavings in lieu of bacon and just the right amount of char to add some character to the palate. We both enjoyed our beverages. Her Mango Tango was spicy, sweet and delicious with a Tajin rim and perfect presentation. My smoked Old Fashioned was smoked tableside (as is customary) and was very nice. Funny thing, we did exactly the same thing last year, same place, same dishes. And, the food was exactly the same as last year. Honestly, we've had better steak at places that aren't near as expensive. Plus, I've honed my culinary skills to the degree that, I grill a better steak at home. (There's a lot of technique and prep that takes place days before the meat goes over the fire.) Overall, I'd say that this was the last time dining there. Just not worth the price tag.
Our first visit was absolutely 5 stars. Our second was about 3 stars because the food was luke warm when served. Otherwise, the happy hour in the bar area is so underrated! Their cocktails are fantastic. They have a sliced filet mignon, prime sliders, tacos, etc all for $12 from 4-7. They also have $10 cocktails such as an espresso martini or the sangria. I ordered a couple cocktails from the regular menu and each one was better than the last and worth the price. The chocolate cake, split between the four of us, and still not finish - was soooo good! Rich and decadent. We'll be back!
I visited J-Prime Steakhouse in Austin last night with my daughter. Our meal was covered by a credit she received in exchange for creating a social media post for the restaurant. I paid the tip and received no compensation for this review. I'm focusing only on the dishes I personally ate. We had a 6 PM Sunday reservation, and the restaurant was quiet and calm. We were seated near the front, but I saw several dining areas -- all classic, clean-lined, and intimate. Our server, Adam, was exceptional from start to finish. His timing, attention to detail, and genuine care elevated the entire evening. He made thoughtful recommendations for cocktails and dessert, and every suggestion was spot on. Cocktails I asked for something light, and Adam suggested a summery twist on their cucumber martini. He added elderflower, and it was refreshing and delicious. We also tried the Divorce Papers (light, slightly sweet, with an earthy undertone) and the Dreamsicle, which is sweet, fun, and honestly as much an experience as it is a drink. While we waited, we were served a small blintz bite with caviar -- a lovely bite to start the meal. Starters We ordered the crabcake and the Caprese salad, both easily shareable. * The crabcake is one of the best I've had in Austin -- large, packed with jumbo and shredded crab, and seasoned perfectly. The aioli and fresh lemon made every bite better. * The Caprese truly surprised me. I expected heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, but the Sicilian pesto with Marcona almonds elevated it in an unexpected way. The pesto was thick, chunky, and incredibly flavorful -- it tied everything together beautifully. Balsamic and olive oil are added tableside, and the dish is as delicious as it is pretty. We were also served Brazilian cheese bread, which had a sharp cheese flavor and a great chew. Mains & Sides I ordered the 8 oz filet mignon, cooked rare. It had a perfect peppery crust and a tender center -- exactly what you want from a fine steakhouse. For sides, we shared: * Crispy Brussels sprouts -- roasted through, very crispy, and served with walnuts, feta, shaved prosciutto, and balsamic. Best when you get a little of everything in one bite. * Truffle sweet potatoes -- the first serving had undercooked layers, but the staff handled my feedback professionally and quickly brought a new dish. The remade version was delicious, with a great balance of flavors. Dessert Adam recommended the Carajillo, an after-dinner cocktail made tableside. If you enjoy espresso, get this -- the presentation alone is worth it. We tried two desserts: * Crème brûlée -- large enough to share, topped with berries, with a perfectly thin sugar top. * Flambéed strawberry shortcake -- made tableside by Enrique, who explained each step as he prepared it. The house poundcake is buttery but balanced by the ice cream and strawberries. Not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Also very shareable. Overall A great steakhouse should deliver on food, ambience, service, and drinks -- and J-Prime Steakhouse absolutely does. I had multiple moments where I paused just to appreciate the flavors. Adam made the evening fun, and the entire team ensured the experience felt special. I left wanting to come back and try more of their popular dishes.
Dropped in for Social Hour (nightly from 4-7pm), and apparently everything *is* bigger in Texas, because the two "small plates" I ordered were anything but! Sat at the bar and received prompt and efficient service. The dim lighting made it a bit difficult to read the menu, but provided a chill ambiance. The Grilled Pineapple J Kabob (three mini kabobs of filet mignon, bell peppers, and onions, served on a slice of grilled pineapple) was deliciously flavorful and practically a complete meal in and of itself. The Filet Mignon à la Parrilla (sliced tenderloin over creamy polenta, topped with grilled bell peppers and chimichurri) was equally bountiful but too salty for my taste due to the unexpected amount of bacon slotted in between slices of filet. Thankfully the complimentary basket of Cheese Bread wasn't salty at all, and neither was my Cucumber Martini ;P.
I came here to carb overload for the Austin 2026 Marathon. I was able to conquer all those pesky uphills, thanks to the scrumptious Seafood Pasta. It had all the imaginable umami from the seafood, sharpness from the cheese, and was perfectly married with the lemon beurre blanc sauce. Not really worth the price, but I would definitely still buy it again. I also got the loaded potato and celebration cake. It was difficult to enjoy the loaded potato because it was too stacked, and the potato itself was a little bland and dry to me. The celebration cake is a bit on the sweeter side, but was also absolutely monstrous. Regardless, I definitely have to come back to try a different main and explore the other starters.
Okay! So I travelled to Austin, Tx for work and for the last week, I've been talking about a good steak from Texas. I try and find locations nearby my hotel so I do not have to travel and lo and behold, J Prime was the next block over. The atmosphere was calm, a little dark to maybe set a more romantic or high class mood but my colleague and I were not in our best dress but the staff didn't make us feel like we were underdressed. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat at the bar. The two baristas greeted us and immediately brought water while asking if we wanted to drink. On Mondays, it seems like the restaurant has an all day happy hour so I ordered a lemon drop martini and opted for the $2 up charge because of my drink of choice. So a select few of drinks including some liquor was $10. I order two lemon drops for $12 each. They tasted amazing and shout out to the bar tenders. I ordered the 16oz ribeye ($70) with the garlic/herb butter. It may not look appealing in my photo, but let me tell you... it was delicious and exactly what I wanted. I ordered the crispy Brussels ($15) as my side minus the chopped walnuts and they were also delicious. In total I spent out $140 including tip. The sides are large enough to share and the happy hour specials are worth it. If you're in Downtown Austin, give JPrime a shot.
Booked this place the first Friday of SXSW for a private partner dinner. Just 10 of us -- super intimate setup -- and wow... they absolutely delivered. I'll start with this: one of the guests at the table said it was the best meal they've ever had in their life. And this isn't someone who just eats out occasionally. This is a speaker who travels the country every week trying new restaurants. That statement alone should tell you something. Let's start with the bread because wowwww. These rolls deserve their own category in the "great restaurant breads of the world" conversation. I can't even fully describe them. They're small enough to fit in the palm of your hand -- almost bite-sized but still substantial. Warm, soft, and there's this subtle cheesy flavor baked right into the dough. Then they bring out the chive butter on the side... forget about it. Unreal. Next up: the lobster bisque. Some of the best I've ever had. If you're there, just get it. Don't think twice. I didn't personally get the wedge salad, but a few people at the table did and it looked incredible. That's already locked in as the first thing I'm ordering the next time I'm back in Austin. For appetizers I went with the shrimp cocktail -- huge shrimp, super fresh, exactly what you want. The charcuterie board was also really well done, but the smoked meat tray was the one that really stole the show. And whatever they're doing with the cheese on that tray... wow. Just trust me and order it. For the main course I went with the filet and they nailed it. Cooked perfectly. No notes. Then the sides came out and things really took off. The crab fried rice was insane, the potatoes were great, and the Brussels sprouts absolutely held their own too. End of the day, this is the best steakhouse in Austin... until someone proves me wrong. 5
If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! I have eaten at most of the steakhouses in Austin, but for some reason, not J. Prime until this weekend, and I am so mad at myself for never trying it sooner! The steak was literally perfect! I have no other words! The sides were delicious, the drinks on point! Friendly service, and the ambiance was so nice and classy! I ordered the 16 oz ribeye medium, and I damn near was licking my fingers. I don't even like Brussels sprouts, but the way they cooked it gave me a change of heart! We finished with their creme brûlée, which is the best dessert after a big meal. This is in my top 2 ratings for best steakhouses in Austin
J Prime is one of the best dining experiences I've had in Austin. The interior feels luxurious, and the tables are large and well separated, so you never feel like you're sitting closer to another party than your own. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our table was attended to meticulously, but never in a way that felt intrusive. I also loved that they openly recommended sharing a steak because of the portion sizes, which is uncommon and very practical. I personally went with the A5 Wagyu, and it was absolutely amazing. The bartender was also top notch. My extra dirty martini was impeccable. Excellent place overall.
A night to remember! The ambience, vibes, and overall atmosphere were Grade A from the moment we walked in! The staff were absolutely amazing, knowledgeable about the menu from front to back, attentive, and made amazing recommendations. Now, let's get the food because it was exceptional I don't eat, so I can't speak on the steak, but my friend said, "It was terrific and flavorful, and on a scale from 1 to 10, it was a 7.75." The salmon was absolutely amazing, very juicy and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the seafood pasta; it was creamy with lots of seafood. J Prime was an all-around phenomenal dining experience. I'll definitely return once my pockets replenish.
Restaurant week reservation number 2. Early dinner and chose bar seating. Not very busy at all and they have a huge bar. Katie the bartender was very kind and I appreciated her providing comments in the items selected. For $75 you've got options, see menu photos. I went with the Lobster bisque, NY strip, added Brussel sprouts +$10 (they had several options for sides and the carrot cake. Lobster bisque was delicious, I enjoyed the flavor and only thing that would make it better is to have more lobster r pieces in it. Steak was seasoned well, no additional modifications needed. Brussel sprouts were amazing, I opted to finish the steak over Brussel sprouts. Carrot cake, also delicious. Only got a few bites in as I was stuffed from everything else. The espresso martinis are also delightful. Man, all around good times.
Today's my birthday and it started with breakfast in bed by Chef Hubs! The night ended with dinner at J Prime Steakhouse located in the heart of downtown Austin. J Prime epitomizes fine dining. We valet parked because it was cold and it's no fun walking in the cold. When we walked in the hostess welcomed us as if when were family members, she had not seen in quite some time. We were seated at booth with sprinkled pink rose petals, a Happy Birthday Card and lighted balloon (yes lighted...Christmas like lights yet smaller on the string of the balloon and inside the balloon...nice touch!). Based on the balloon count in the dining room, 6 people were celebrating birthdays. James, our server, introduced himself and offered us water while we decided on our meal. J Prime is a large space with 3-4 private dining spaces in the back that will seat 30-40 people depending on how the rooms are configured. Interesting fact learned it used to be a Mexican restaurant with a patio. My hubby ordered lobster bisque and Ora Atlantic Salmon cooked a cedar plank with an orange slice underneath. I ordered a beet salad (an aesthetically pleasing salad and equally delicious) and Chilean seabass, one of my favorite fish. Before any food was brought to the table, we were offered a complimentary palate cleanser - tiny pancake with caviar topping. It was quite tasty. My hubby really enjoyed his salmon...it was crispy on top and moist inside. He said his lobster bisque was smooth and flavorful. My Chilean seabass was seared on top as requested. It also had some associated greens and sundried tomatoes underneath. The combination of textures and flavors created a welcome mouth explosion. We shared au gratin potatoes, which were more like mash potatoes than scalloped potatoes but still quite delicious. In addition, the Italian prosecco was refreshing and light. Before we began our dessert, we were offered another palate cleanser - lime sorbet along with a small towel to cleanse our hands. We had complimentary dessert...usually confetti cake but they were out at dinner time. Our waiter offered us one dessert from the menu instead and we chose carrot cake...it was moist with a hint of cinnamon loaded with nuts and cream cheese frosting. So yummy!!! While the food was excellent, the real standout was service...excellent service! James, our server was frequently at our table along with a water person. We drank a few sips of water and our glasses were refilled. We also had Andres, the general manager, stop by our table to check on us a few times. Andres engaged us in meaningful conversation. Both James and Andres were super friendly and attentive. Service...chef's kiss!!! The small yet appealing touches...coat check, table stand for your purse and leftovers packaged before your very eyes at your table. My birthday dinner could not have been better!!! Look forward to returning...

Five star experience! Service was amazing, food was tasty, and possibly one of the best desserts I've ever had. We came at 5pm and the restaurant was pretty empty so staff was VERY attentive. Nice Happy Hour options but we weren't drinking. I went with the New York strip 10oz and my friends got the filet mignon 8oz. We all enjoyed our steaks! For sides we got the fries and broccolini. The broccolini was very tasty, though a little pricey. The fries were good but a lil soggy, not crisp enough and too much garlic. We got a free dessert for my friends bday and the piece was huge! We shared it and omg... all agreed it was possibly the best cake we've ever had. read more

I came for the happy hour menu and it was a great experience! It's hard to come by restaurants these days that offer a good menu for food & drinks. It was a great opportunity to sample what the restaurant has to offer. What's great is that the happy hour is even on a Sunday. The place was very quiet but the service was still great. What's great too is free street parking in downtown on Sundays which is a double win! The expresso martini was top notch! I ordered the steak with potato for my meal and beef carpaccio as an appetizer and they were both very tasty. For the price and the quantity of food, it was just perfect! I would def add it to your happy hour list to try. read more

My husband and I recently went here for our 15 anniversary and honestly this was one of the best meals we've ever had and it is not even comparable to some of the greatest meals we've had royal cruise lines. The service was amazing and our waiter was the best! read more
Came here for Mother's Day, the food was good. Service was okay. We got here around 2pm and found out they ran out of new england lobster rolls. My family was very upset. We seen other tables who had it and it looked delicious. Overall experience, I may come back again. I won't be back at this place for any special occasion, hopefully the next round they will have stocked up on food. The chocolate mousse was amazing. They had these little round cheese bread that was great...it was a hit everyone liked them. The place was nice and clean. I would recommend this place to people to come. read more
Service was impeccable. Food was pricey for what is was. The bone marrow appetizer was okay at best. It would be nice to see more marrow. 5/10 The Tomahawk Dry Age Steak was okay as well. Nothing blew me away. Presentstion was great. 5/10 read more
Service was great! Food unfortunately was not. Stopped by for my brothers birthday and the staff here were extremely hospitable. The atmosphere here is interesting -- they have the refined service and white tablecloths you'd expect of a fancy steakhouse but they choose to pair it with club / EDM style music. Not necessarily a con, just interesting. The food was where our experience soured: Bone Marrow - Quite overpriced for the portion of edible marrow you receive. Wouldn't order again. Dry aged Tomahawk - Unfortunately this was just average. It was cooked such that the outside was charred (leaving some pieces almost inedible) and did not have the flavor I expected for a steak of this price point. Perhaps this was to be expected with a larger cut of meat, but I was disappointed nonetheless. read more

We LOVE JPrime. We've been here for special occasions and for business meals. The food is excellent and so is the service. Very professional or sexy for date night depending on your vibe read more

Service was amazing felt like they rolled out the red carpet for us upon entry with vibey music and big smiles and greetings from all the staff. And the ambience was top notch, beautifully decorated and nicely lit. At the same time it did not feel stuck up or uppity up, my bachelor group of 13 guys felt super comfortable. We had the private room and it was just the right size. The tomahawk steak was cooked perfectly (3 of us guys split it) and all the side dishes were good too. I recommend the lobster Mac and cheese and the broccolini and asparagus. We were so full we even had to take home some of our steak and sides. (Which we happily ate after we went bar hopping). Speaking of drinks. I recommend the old fashioned espresso and the tequila old fashioned espresso. If you need a fine dining experience where they'll make you feel comfortable and make you want to come back I recommend J-Prime! Oh and shoutout to our server Lorna or Lo, she was top notch and explained the menu really well. read more
J Prime Steakhouse is simply amazing. The food is ultra well-presenting and delicious. The cocktails were amazing and I loved how the menu showed what type of glass the drink is served in. I recommend getting something from the 'dinner for two' section (the Tomahawk specifically). Don't miss out on the bone marrow hot appetizer which I think was the highlight of the meal! read more
Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Ambiance- 5 stars This has to be the absolute best happy hour for selection and value in the entire Austin metro area! $10 small plates that include prime rib tacos, tenderloin on polenta, oysters on the half shell, tenderloin kebabs and more! This is just what I can remember because it's what we had. $9 cocktails and glasses of house wine. I normally do not care for house wine at most places, but they actually have decent house wine. The general manager, Miguel, is very personable and interactive, and remembers most repeat patrons from what I can tell! He will absolutely make up for any deficiencies you may experience. He's also funny. Truly, everything a good general manager should be! This is now our go to social hour place!! read more
J Prime is a seriously top-end Steakhouse in Austin, TX. Outstanding offerings in a white tablecloth steakhouse environment. The atmosphere is modern and hip. The service was superbly attentive. This a a *great* place for a high end steakhouse meal. I'll add the prices are not for the faint-of-heart, but you get what you pay for ;) read more

We celebrated my mom's surprise birthday over this last weekend at J-Prime. My brother and his fiancée flew in and J-Prime helped accommodate our surprise by seating my brother and his fiancée early at the table so we were able to perfectly set up the surprise factor for my mom and dad. Additionally at the same dinner, J-Prime helped prepare a surprise gender reveal for my wife and I. J-Prime's staff worked with my wife's sister to prepare a dessert with the gender reveal so that none of us at the table had to know the result beforehand. It was perfectly handled and the staff worked hard to handle this unique request. Shout out to Nick as our primary server. Food and service continue to be top-notch (this was our 3rd visit). It's my favorite restaurant in Austin! read more
