Came in late last Saturday night, and at first thought they were closed. But tried the door- Surprise! Open and packed. Reservations highly recommended. But as I was alone, found a spot at the far end of the bar and settled in. I was not disappointed. I started with a key lime Caparinia. I like caparinias, and this was a good one. Little sweet, but definitely a good start. The mood in the bar was dark, but the jukebox music was popping, and I liked the decor. The art was killer. Love the tattooed Nun. Ordered the Stuft dates, and prime fillet, rare. Filet comes with a grilled fresh mixed veg over mash potatoes. While waiting I became introduced to Heather the bartender & a couple of locals. They definitely have a full bar with multiple whistle-pig whiskeys. The dates & steak were on spot. Pricey, but worth it. For afters I went with a Ruby Grapefruit Mule. Can't complain, but not a fav. Should have ended with a Manhattan. Food was good, service was very good, drinks were awesome, just make a reservation - or make do at the bar, like I did. Oh, and bring your wallet. It's not cheap, but also good food. I'll be back some day.

Overall our experience was good. It wasn't an average dining experience, but we also don't feel it was an incredible 5 star experience worth almost $200. The ambience is dark, date night vibes which we liked. You're seated with an open kitchen in the entrance area. We had a really good mushroom pesto bruschetta, and for our entrees, the pork belly and short rib ravioli. When we arrived we overheard a bartender sharing with another customer that the fettuccine was a small order, so I didn't get either; however, the $30 ravioli came with 3 very al dente ravioli. My husband had 3 large pork belly pieces with potatoes. Personally, I didn't like the ravioli and felt the balsamic was too acidic for the dish. The pork belly was great, but wasn't incredible. My husband and I were celebrating 2 years of marriage and left a note about that on our reservation. We received a complimentary raspberry brownie? I didn't see a dessert menu, but I think the brownie may have been overdone or there was a flavor I didn't recognize. It desperately needed a good scoop of vanilla ice cream. Service wasn't special either.

Always a pleasure coming here to dine. Whether it's solo at the bar or getting a table in the open kitchen. One of the best places for oysters in Yuma. The carpaccio is excellent with thin slices and amazing flavors. Heather behind the bar is always a delight. She serves up great craft cocktails or anything you could request. The ambiance and music is always on point and adds greatly to the experience.

Best find ever! We were looking for a nice steakhouse that wasn't a chain restaurant, looked on yelp and read reviews for J.T. Prime. We arrived about 4pm, the front of the restaurant was quaint, located in a small strip mall (loved the velvet rope at the entrance). Be prepared to walk into darkened bar area with intimate lighting. While our eyes were adjusting we heard a voice from the corner of the bar greeting us, we asked if we needed reservations for dinner and the gentleman said no and walked us back through an open kitchen to an intimate dinning area. The chef and assistants were all very welcoming. The decor is black with low romantic lighting and great retro pictures. Our server Jose was very friendly and informative about the menu. Service is exceptional, ambience is very romantic. We ordered the bacon wrapped dates, yumm and a great Pinot noir which came within 10-15 mins (amazing). My husband ordered the prime rib and I ordered the short ribs, I wish I would've remembered to take pictures because everything was plated so nicely. We both ate all of our dinner and had the chocolate lava cake with raspberry and cream topping another yumm. We couldn't have been happier about this hidden gem definitely worth the prices d will be regular customers!

As a foodie who moved to Yuma from NY a few days ago I was pleasantly surprised by JT Prime. It has a very unassuming exterior which is juxtaposed by a very intimate setting indoors - you are literally sitting in the kitchen smelling and watching your food be lovingly prepared. I started with their champagne sangria - with tropical notes - really very refreshing. The Wagyu meatballs were absolutely amazing - the flavors were delicious and you get hints of truffle oil with each bite. For my main I had their house- made short rib ravioli - the ravioli were perfectly cooked and had amazing flavor - if you're not a fan of Gorgonzola it may not be a flavor you enjoy. It was topped with spiralizdd carrots which added a nice sweetness and respite from the sharpness of the Gorgonzola - I only wish they had a bit of crunch for a change in texture. For dessert I had the crème brûlée - to die for ! It was the recommendation of my server and I was defintjely not disappointed. It was an amazing dining experience that was definitely on par with NY.

Spend.less mo ey on your fancy bags and add a few items to eat so you don't have to use your hands to eat.

Called in a to go order. Was driving thru to Phoenix. I would have had a better meal at Texas Roadhouse. I ordered a $68 ribeye, medium with mash potatoes, and burnt vegetables. I got a rare, barely cooked steak with no flatware, napkins , nothing but 2 plastic containers with a very rare cooked steak. Mash potatoes is a no brainer and my veg was blackened so much the food had a burnt taste to it. We were on a trip and didn't have time to sit down for dinner. I wouldn't waste my money again for such a poorly cooked meal with nothing but the plastic container.

The interior of JTP was of basic design with an intimate and warm ambiance . The service was excellent. I had the Spicy Ahi Tuna Tostadas and Shrimp Costa Azul followed by the Toasted Coconut & Pineapple Tepache Float with a Prime Old Fashioned cocktail to complement.

Delicious Drinks before dinner! Kiki Mai Tai & Old Fashion!!

Which I didn't mind because I could tell by the way they were cooking when we came in it would be that way. Great service and atmosphere and I would recommend you try it out.

Food and drinks were decent (not as amazing as I would have thought, considering the price) and the service was friendly. It was honestly hard to enjoy the experience because of how dark it was. I understand wanting to create an atmosphere, but when two people with perfect vision had no clue there was mashed potatoes on the plate -- it's time to turn on the lights. It was fun to try, but won't be going back. read more

I should've taken more photos but the food was so good I didn't have a chance to take pictures the pork belly was outstanding and I regret not getting extra veggie sides- the veggies were so good it was honestly my favorite part. We checked in and got the lava cakes complementary- also super good! We also got the ahi tuna tostadas. Next time I go I know what I'll be having- tostadas and veggies! I really loved that they offered bottled water and mineral water. Had a really great experience, we will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Moving back to Yuma after living in Sedona for a few years- where we expect to pay $18 for a craft cocktail - was surprised by this caliber of restaurant here (my husband actually asked the waiter what the numbers on the menu meant when he saw 75 next to a margarita- "those are the prices sir"-LOL!!! I don't think he was being sarcastic, shocked maybe or wondering if they were ounces?!‍) With that said, if you have plenty of money, the food is amazing, the staff friendly & attentive and the ambiance, while dark, is creative- you don't feel like you're in a strip mall, more like a secret cave where deliciousness hides. The pictures of the chefs kids on the walls in the dining room were endearing, the pictures in the bar when you enter were not- a bit disturbing & dark for our taste. We probably won't return but if you win big at the casino or want to impress your friends or a date, it might be worth it ;) read more

So glad we found this fine restaurant that opened up in Yuma just 3 mos. ago -- EVERYTHING was so delicious: mushroom bruschetta, salad, crab stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon, and roasted pork belly with chile blackberry sauce. And the entrees came with a great grilled vege compote. We also enjoyed the molten choc. cake for dessert (free 'cuz we checked in on yelp app.) Also, our cocktails were fabulous -- the BEST Bellini ever - with 3 diff fresh squeezed fruits. Truly a very fine dining experience! read more

Being the foodies that we are, my husband and I were excited to try this place. It seems to be that this "pop-up" is making a killing off of those of us living in Yuma and missing out on a fine dining experience. However, I certainly wouldn't call this place fine dining. A grossly overpriced menu paired with too small portions, for flavor that I could have bested in my own kitchen. These guys will even charge you for the water. I'd say if you know how to cook, make yourself a gourmet meal at home for a better overall experience. I had a feeling after reading other reviews, but we really were wanting a date night and decided to give them a try. For one appetizer, a pasta entree, and three tiger shrimp, our bill was well over $100. I can't help but laugh. Yuma deserves better ‍ read more

My husband and I just had our anniversary dinner at JT Prime. We had the Mushroom Bruschetta appetizer, which was a wonderfully flavored starter. Then a Prime Filet for me, and Prime Ribeye for him. Tender and delicious. We did NOT opt for one of the $75 cocktails offered on the menu; my $18 Mai Tai was tasty and refreshing (if maybe a bit light on alcohol.) A lava cake with a plate covering serving of a raspberry compote or sauce was a perfect finish. read more

I ordered the short rib ravioli to go for ~$30. I got three large raviolis, most of which was undercooked, that were smothered in a cheese sauce that tasted like it was spoiled. There were a few baby spinach leaves under the ravioli, but it was nowhere near enough to be considered a side. I was quite disappointed considering the reviews and the pictures I found here. Overpriced and considerably underwhelming. read more

Interesting place, it had good ratings, so I thought I'd check it out, it was Friday night, and there was no parking in the small parking lot, so I figured this place must be pretty good, so I walked into the place. the ambience was not what I am used to, it was very dark, and I guess they take reservations, it seemed very small, the bar was small, I didn't sample the food, but the ambience was kind of well you know uncomfortable, so I wasn't willing to wait. So I left. So my advice is make reservations take a chance, I hope the food is better than the ambience. read more

I have eaten a lot of seafood in my time and the scallops were absolutely the best I have ever had. One or more of the reviews mentioned small portions, large portions are for some unreasonable reason an American ideal of a good meal, this is far from true. When our dishes arrived I looked at them and agreed, they are small. Once I ate my first bite I knew I was in for a treat. This restaurant is on par with any 5-star restaurant around. We started with the fresh oysters, if you don't like heat stay away, I loved them. Dinner dishes were out of this world and paired wonderfully with our wine. The molten lava cake was scrumptious! I had the best birthday evening ever. read more

This pop up restaurant was amazing. It was definitely the best meal that I've had in Yuma and probably all time. The drinks were original and on point. I'm still thinking of the Cesar salad. My husband had the Wagu steak which has now ruined him with all steaks. The crab stuffed shrimp was delicious, even the vegetables were perfectly cooked and seasoned. It had a perfect setting transporting you to an up scale restaurant with lounge you wouldn't believe that you were in a small strip mall building. It is a definite must go! read more

There's also an outdoor patio where they have the jenga and ring toss. It was a little breezy the night I stopped in and they even had some heaters turned on. There was a DJ who was good and I'd say he was playing good music. The beers are affordable and as of this review they have a ladies night on Saturday which means drink specials. I think they may also have a few other drinks specials as well but I stuck to beers. I've had service from a few different bartenders and they all make sure you'll get your beverage in a timely manner. I like the Saturday night crowd...there's a nice mix of people. guys to girls and it's not too packed. It's seems to empty out a little towards midnight which is around the time I usually make my exit but if I was with friends I'd probably just chill at Alement for the night. They have some cool cocktails and fish bowls...overall it's a chill vibe but with the right music can turn up a little bit. Security is chill and Alement is definitely in the rotation whenever I'm going out in "downtown" Yuma. They run almost daily specials which could also turn any night of the week into a lituation.

It's probably a great place for the locals to hang out on a weekend, but not a place I would recommend when you are just trying to enjoy a meal. Once the band took the stage and started playing, I left immediately. Their music was more than twice as loud as the house music. The food I had was pretty good, but the ambience not so much.

I recently stumbled upon J.T. Prime in Yuma, AZ, and let me tell you, it's an absolute hidden gem in the area. Honestly, I almost don't want to share this secret spot because it's just that good. The aesthetics of the place are on point - from the exterior to the interior, it's a feast for the eyes. Now, let's talk about the menu. It's like a culinary dream come true. The selection is so impressive that it took me a while to decide what to order. I mean, they really nailed it when it comes to offering a variety of mouthwatering options. Sure, the prices might be a tad high, but trust me, the explosion of flavors in every bite makes it totally worth it. I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed my dining experience at J.T. Prime. It's a solid spot in Yuma that you absolutely don't want to miss. The food, the ambiance, the overall vibe - it's a winning combination that guarantees a fantastic time. If you're in the Yuma area, do yourself a favor and check out J.T. Prime. You won't be disappointed! read more

Well, after my review of J.T. Prime, I was pleasantly surprised that Alex reached out to me and wanted to discuss my experience. I responded to his request on 03/25. I guess his response to my review was just "show". As of today, 04/12, I have not heard back from Alex. I was really hoping to discuss my experience. Perhaps things will change there? I just hope that no one else gets robbed of their hard earned money at this place he calls "fine dining". read more

My family and I celebrated a birthday at JT Prime Steakhouse and we were blown away by the outstanding food. We ordered a variety of dishes including the steak, wagyu, and oysters, and each one was cooked to perfection. The staff was also incredibly friendly and accommodating, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend JT Prime Steakhouse for anyone looking for a delicious meal and great atmosphere. read more

The pictures of the "nuns" are very offensive to Catholics. So unnecessary and insensitive. Why would anyone enjoy viewing these distasteful images? Shameful. I highly recommend you to take them down. You are in Yuma; a large percentage of your clientele are Catholics. Why would insult a big portion of your potential customer base? read more
