    Cheesecake
    Maria Enrily M.

    My husband and I came here for our 8th wedding anniversary. Everything was great! The ambiance is really interesting. You get transported into the medieval times with all the candles and dim lighting. They even have a corner where you could take photos with swords and helmets. The food was amazing. The Australian Wagyu steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. We ordered the garlic mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. Both were delicious. Michael was incredible! He was nice, funny and attentive to our needs. He even served us an anniversary cake. It was a small cheesecake, but it was the perfect way to end a good meal.

    The style of this restaurant is definitely different, and we weren't expecting it, very medieval rustic, which fits the primal concept. Fun look especially at the entry with all the melted wax from candles burning. Live music was nice. Our waitress was kind and helpful. Steak was decent, the salt was a bit more course, so if it was saturated in some areas some would say it was over salted but all in all it was good. French onion soup absolutely delicious, mashed potatoes were great, and Mac and cheese wasn't a wow factor, without asking they kindly removed it from our tab as we barely ate it. I love a good Caesar and I will say it was mild in flavor. Not pictured but the best highlight of this experience, the grilled toast with a tomato bacon jam of sorts. Very delicious and different. Worth trying. We would go back just for that. :)

    Came here for a birthday celebration. Overall it was good but definitely agree that the prices are extremely high. I was really disappointed in the tomahawk steak. It was served fairly rare and under seasoned, we had to ask for salt to finish it. The sauces are underwhelming and seemed to be done in an untraditional way (it's a crime to call that chimichurri). The highlight of the meal was the Mac n cheese and the free bread they give you. The place itself is very cool but it is dark and loud as I imagine there's quite a bit of echoing in there. Loved the theme but it doesn't justify the huge price point. Too many dope spots around town to try, don't waste your time here.

    Dark, decadent, and intentionally dramatic. Walking into Primal feels like stepping into a scene straight out of a modern Dracula's dining hall. Dark, moody, and intentionally dramatic. The lighting is low (very low), with these long melted, dripping candles setting the tone. Definitely not your typical bright, chatty steakhouse. The ambiance alone is an experience, but the food and drinks absolutely follow through. I didn't order a cocktail just a glass of wine however, I was being nosey checking out other peoples cocktails, and saw some really over the top stuff like fire, dry ice smoke, goblets...So if your looking for a good Insta moment its definitely there. The wine list? Elite. Very curated, very "you came here to indulge." I ordered Leviathan, a bold red blend (cab-forward), and it paired perfectly with my short rib dish. Rich, tender, and deeply flavorful. Like the kind of dish that makes you slow down and actually enjoy your meal. Not rushed, not casual... intentional. And let's talk about that Leviathan for a second, it was so good I literally started buying it on my own after this visit. That alone says everything. Service was solid, the vibe was consistent, and the entire experience felt immersive. There was a live violinist there playing beautiful music. It felt like you're not just eating, you're participating in a whole aesthetic. If you're into dark, luxe, slightly theatrical dining... this is your place. Overall: 10/10 for ambiance, wine, and experience. Not for basic nights. This is a MOOD.

    I was in Vegas for business, and our team decided to do a group dinner. We were told this spot would be perfect for great steak and even better conversation... and let me tell you, it delivered--with a side of time travel "Helloooo Mc fly!). The moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped straight into a medieval castle. I'm talking dim lighting, stone vibes, and these wild little mountains of melted candle wax everywhere like time itself just gave up and decided to drip. For a second I thought, "Claire... is that you?"because this place has serious Outlander energy. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and just the right amount of dramatic. You can make reservations (which I highly recommend if you're rolling deep like we were), but they do accept walk-ins too. We got seated quickly and were greeted by our server, Kurin an absolute rockstar. She asked if it was our first time, gave great recommendations, and stayed attentive without hovering. Now, this is one of those classic steakhouse setups order your main dish, and the sides are separate. Some of my coworkers ordered drinks that looked like they came out of a mad scientist's lab bubbling, smoking, the whole show. No idea what it was, but it looked impressive. While waiting for the food, we noticed all the medieval décor on the walls. We jokingly asked if we could try some of it on... and to our surprise, Kurin told us we actually could. Next thing you know, we're in full-on photo shoot mode, living our best knight-at-the-round-table lives. Then the food started rolling out. First up, the wedge salad crisp, ice-cold lettuce, perfectly cooked bacon, and all the fixings hitting exactly how they should. Simple, classic, and done right. But the real star? The tomahawk steak. We split it between three grown men who have been known to make all-you-can-eat restaurants nervous and this thing still held its own. Massive doesn't even begin to describe it. Cooked to absolute perfection, incredibly tender (butter knife status), and seasoned so well it didn't need a single extra thing. Tomahawks can be tricky, but these folks clearly know what they're doing. We ordered a variety of sides, but the truffle fries stole the show crispy, flavorful, and the perfect wingman to that steak. Around the table, the burger got rave reviews, and the short rib was another standout rich, tender, and worth every bite. Then someone let it slip that it was my birthday, and out came this awesome macaron topped with a sparkler, because apparently subtlety is not on the menu here (and I'm not complaining). We also tried the deconstructed banana split, which was just as fun to eat as it was to look at. Is it a little pricey? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Between the quality of the food, the unique atmosphere, and top-tier service, you're getting an experience not just a meal. Overall, this place checks all the boxes: great food, great service, great vibe, and even better memories with great people. If you're looking to venture off the Strip for something memorable, this is your spot. And if you're lucky enough to get Kurin just let her guide you. You'll be in good hands (and probably wearing medieval armor at some point).

    Andie was our server and all her recommendations were spot on. She was very well versed in knowing what on the menu was going to be good for what everyone was looking for at the table. Everything on the menu had amazing flavor. Can't recommend this restaurant enough! I had the delmonico. The crust was perfect! Great amount of salt to compliment the steak.

    I went into Primal Steakhouse not really knowing what to expect... and apparently what I should have expected was helmets, swords, violin music, and some of the best steaks we had in Vegas. Our group of 10 had an absolute blast. At some point during the night we were taking pictures with Viking helmets and swords while a violinist played classical tracks from the Bridgerton series. Somehow it all works together and makes the place feel like medieval fine dining in the best possible way. The cocktails were fantastic. The smoked Old Fashioned (King's Elixir) was basically dinner and a show all by itself and definitely grabbed everyone's attention at the table. The lobster bisque was one of the coolest presentations I've seen. They bring out a bowl filled with ingredients and then pour the bisque over it at the table. And yes... it tasted just as good as it looked. For the main course, my wife had the short rib and I shared a medium-rare Delmonico, which was excellent. Around the table we had a couple more Delmonicos and several short ribs along with sides like spinach and mac & cheese, and honestly everything was getting rave reviews. One thing that really stood out was the service before we even arrived. I made a reservation and received a call where they gave me a personal cell number in case anything changed. The owner was genuinely appreciative that we chose his restaurant for our business dinner, which is something you don't see very often. Great food, unique atmosphere, amazing cocktails, and service that goes above and beyond. Our entire group left with nothing but praise for the place. Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable dinner in Vegas.

    I'm on a work trip in Vegas and we wanted steak. My founder found this place on yelp and we had to check it out. The ratings definitely don't lie I gave them a quick call a few minutes before opening and we were able to get a reservation at 5:30PM on a Wednesday. We confirmed our reservation on Opentable by putting a card down. There are lots of parking in the plaza. We got inside and it was quite spacious. We didn't know if we would need a table or 3 or 4 but they wouldn't seat us unless the whole party was there. Ended up going with a table of 3 but we were seated at a table of 4 so it didn't matter. It was such a cool medieval spot :o We asked the server what drinks she recommended and we ended up ordering Game of Thrones inspired drinks. I forgot what they were called, but the presentation was awesome. I loved how mine didn't taste like alcohol :) It tasted like a sour gummy drink yum! The glasses of water were super trippy too since it was slanted woah... The lighting is a vibe. We got deviled eggs for appetizer and it was so yummy (5/5). 2 deviled eggs came with caviar and 3 with wagyu I'm still thinking about it.... We ordered the 28oz Australian Wagyu Ribeye, mac and cheese, lemon butter asparagus, and mashed potatoes. Wow the wagyu ribeye was melting in my mouth. It was delicious (5/5). Huge portion split between 3 people and we couldn't finish it. The bathroom was super trippy I accidentally went into the men's bathroom Please note it is the one with the wolf and the women's restroom is the one with the girl character. I just thought it was gender neutral and it was just the art on the door wall Overall, I would love to come back for another special occasion whenever i'm back in Vegas :)

    Happy birthday to me ARIES QUEEN

    Courtney is pure perfection. She demonstrated a rare, refined level of perfection, skill, and attention to detail. She was beyond attentive, sweet, made delicious recommendations and just had such a positive attitude. She made my birthday a great one. I'm glad she wasn't snooty. She was very amicable and I swear she had that face that just screams FAMOUS. She kept us entertained through our birthday adventure. She made us laugh and have such a great time. Another young strong burly man was also very kind and attentive. He worked very hard and made sure everyone at their table. He made sure we were happy and that there was an area for some fun cosplay. And let the hubby know about the restroom. I was unable to get his name. But he was also very welcoming. I want to believe he may have been a manger but not sure. The hostess was also very welcoming and took a moment to explain some fun things for us. I'm sorry I forgot her name. She gave it to me and I sincerely forgot. The place itself is such a pleasure to enjoy. Dark, romantic yet gothic, Classy and sexy feel going on here. Restaurant is large. Reservations may be a must. We made reservations so I'm not sure what would have happened if we didn't. I forgot to use the restroom. However the men's restroom is hAHAHAHilarious. I had my hubby go in and take a vid. There is ample parking. Construction going on. But everything is open. The drinks are delicious. Oh and don't get fooled by the slanted water glasses like I did lol. I had to look really hard because I was like omg I haven't not even drank yet and I think I'm seeing drunk . What did we order .... Deviled eggs with A5 and Caviar $20 - beyond delicious. We preferred the Caviar over the A5 Kings Elixor $18.00 8oz Filet Mignon $62 each (one of ours had the blue cheese crust added for $10) that Blue cheese crust has my eyes still rolling back. Butterfly Nocturn (vodka) $17 Their Filet Mignon was a FULL 8 ounce cooked and seasoned to perfection. It did more than melt in my mouth. It had a parade, a show, an opera and a standing ovation all at once. We need one of these in California..... Close to Manhattan Beach/Redondo Beach or Long Beach please. My goodness. We did not want the food to end. The sourdough bread other the bacon tomato jam was exquisite. I can't even nail the delicious flavors that took over my mouth. It was good. The cocktails were perfectly made. Primal has great customer service and great food. We love places like this. I say Primal and Rare Society really have a competition here. After them would be Ruth Chris. Next would be the Derby in Arcadia. I think we will take a road trip back to LV just to come and eat at Primal. Thank you Courtney for being so awesome.

    The place has a cool ambiance and feels very on point for the theme. However, some of the chairs are terrible. I had to switch mine out because it literally felt like it had a hole with no padding. The lighting is dim inside so this would be a nice date night location The drinks were delicious. The steak and sides were good. Nothing life changing and perhaps a tiny bit overpriced (sides especially). The service now this is where they shine. We had an excellent waiter that was perfection from start to finish. He didn't rush us but also made sure we knew he was available whenever we needed him. He made good recommendations and was very attentive and personable.

    You gotta love a restaurant that commits to a theme. The decor is wild and hilarious. Happily the food was also great! Dramatic cocktails and very tasty beef and elk entrees. Tender, juicy, flavorful. Onion rings, fries, wedge salad and brussel sprouts not pictured but all were delicious. The only criticism I had was the desserts. Creme brulee should not feel like cottage cheese. But that was a very minor thing. We had a blast celebrating a birthday at Primal and would definitely go again.

    This was our first time trying Primal Steakhouse when we were visiting Las Vegas, and it ended up being one of those dinners that turns into a whole night. The restaurant is dark and moody, they had live music when we went, and the whole place had a really fun energy without feeling too loud or crazy. We ordered the steak, spinach dip with bread, bone marrow, and a few drinks. The steak was cooked perfectly and really flavorful, and the spinach dip was super creamy, cheesy, and perfect to share while having drinks. My favorite was the bone marrow. It was big, incredibly rich, and buttery. The cocktails were strong and well made too. This is a really good spot if you're looking for a dinner place for date night, a birthday, or just a nice night out with friends while you're in Vegas. Definitely come hungry because the portions are generous. Service was great! Friendly, attentive, and never felt rushed. I would definitely come back.

    Is this business kid frendly?

    No not really kid friendly at all. They don’t have a kids menu at all. They have burgers but not anything a child would eat. It’s a very intimate setting inside and every time I eat there, no kids are present. I would take the kids somewhere else… Read more

    Are there gluten free options safe for those with celiac disease?

    Yes most restaurants have a few gluten free options but the steaks are gluten free and if it comes with something not you can tell the people there.

    What vegan options are available? Can menu items be altered to make them vegan?

    Vegetarian options, definitely. I'd call the restaurant to confirm your vegan preferences just to be sure.

    Price range for entries?

    I would say $40 -$50

    Any vegetarian options?

    Yes our kitchen is asked to provide a vegetarian option on a fairly regular occurrence.

    Do you have a corkage fee?

    Yes, $25.00, pretty standard in town.

    Hi There! Curious if the Australian Tomahawk is halal since most imported meat from Australia typically is? Thanks!

    No it is not

    Can we take our 4 year old daughter? We are planning to be there sometime between July 18 to 21st?

    Yes, but I would go fairly early. I assume she can eat steak or chicken as they don't really have a children's menu that I recall. It is a fascinating place and the wait staff is extremely accommodating. Plus the great food!

    Planning on coming in June. with it being over 100 degrees in the evening, are nice shorts and a polo ok?

    That’s fine. Chad

    Is it kid friendly? Do they have high chairs?

    New Happy Hour started this week! Great drinks and small bites at the bar only all night long. Crazy awesome idea with such a big bar

    Do you have happy hour?

    Happy ahour is Sunday to Thursday 5 to 6 pm

    What is the dress code for dinner reservations?

    No strict dress code but it's a fancy restaurant so would dress nice
