    Surprise steak

    We enjoyed our 50th wedding anniversary dinner this Sunday past, they treated my family as if we were the only diners. My lamb Chile, outstanding, my surprise steak superb, the sushi offerings were wonderful. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive, and helpful with the wine selection. A truly great afternoon

    Charcuterie platter..could've used salami and better crostini but otherwise great overall

    Overall horrible. Been here a few times and I'm Always disappointed by something else, whether it be the horrible food or the service. Charcuterie board is only thing worth touching, and even that needs to be taken with the caveat that half of it is likely to be bad too. Stay away

    Delicious food. 3rd time I'm here. Each is better than before. Today I got the Pinot Noir Braised Short Rib (10/10), Kokomo (sushi) (5/5), buffalo poppers (4/5), tacos (4/5}. Quick and friendly service. A bit loud for my liking. Also, the menu seems to change often which is good.

    Honestly, I'm having trouble figuring out why this restaurant is getting as many negative reviews as they are. Though it does have some problems, the place is well above average for it's food and drink. Let's start with the bad just to get it out of the way. Firstly, be prepared for slow and inconsistent service and you won't be disappointed. For our large party of 10, we ordered probably close to 8 appetizers to split among us and rather then coming out at once, we were given them it seems whenever they were ready and not as a cohesive set. This ordinarily wouldn't be as big as a problem as it seems but when 10 people are splitting a plate at a time, you tend to be quite a bit hungrier then you should be. Also if you advertise something as tableside guacamole, please be sure to not forget about us and ACTUALLY make it tableside for us like you did for everyone else in the restaurant as opposed to just plopping down a 20 pound mortar (no joke on the weight). Also at times it seemed like we had to beg the staff to come take our drink orders and half the time the wait staff did not speak enough English to understand what we were trying to order. However it is the food that earns this place its' chops, no pun intended. Across the board, the food was outstanding with a special notice to the quality and cookery of the steaks. Some highlights included: Guacamole: Yeah it was not done tableside but overall had a really nice flavor and consistency. Brisket Eggrolls: Not greasy at all. A nice crunchy bite with flavorful filling and a spicy mayo that adds a bit of creaminess to the dish after dipping. Charcuterie Board: A nice collection of different meats and preparation styles that really worked well together. Special shoutout the lamb belly and the thinly sliced pastrami that melted in your mouth. Delmonico Steak: Not my choice, but received rave reviews from everyone who ordered it. From the one bite I had, the crust on the steak was nice and crispy and the inside meat was tender with just enough fat to coat the palate. Tomahawk Chop: The special of the evening and boy was this a surprise. The GIANT 22oz cut was cooked perfectly on the bone and was super moist and tender. The bone itself provides for a great instagram photo afterwards and the plate is a showstopper for anyone else in the restaurant who takes a look. Peanut Butter Saucer: Listed as a brownie on the menu but the chef gave it some cosmetic changes. If you DO NOT like Peanut Butter stay far away as this is an indulgence of the highest degree. However for those peanut butter lovers, dig right in. Also big props to the large Belgium Beer menu (with duval on tap). Makes for a great pairing with any of the steaks.

    Visited New York for a day trip and really enjoyed myself here. Tuna tartare was very fresh and good. Also, my steak came out perfect and really great service.

    A solid 3.5.... A late reservation for my first time here, I was joined by 2 regulars, who happen to dine here on the regular, so my expectations bar was set nominally higher than usual. The staff here was very warm, welcoming and accomodating. Melody was our person for the night and I think every retaurant should have a Melody lol But I digress and move onto the food! 20+ dishes ordered to try. Lots of hits, some very surprising hits, and several not so good hits. My rule of thumb, when it's my first time, is order the entire apps selections, even the special ones for the evening, especially at a steakhouse. The stars of the evening: Tableside made Guacomole: super fresh ingredients, made a la minute is key for this and it was exactly that. Duck Eggrolls: surprisingly light and delicate and a nice rich texture to the duck meat. Braised Short Ribs: Melt in your mouth awesomeness. My test for this is going for the fattiest piece on the plate, a proper braised short rib's fat will literally melt in your mouth and not get stuck inbtwn your teeth like gristle. Sweetbreads: ok serously, what's with the corn in this dish ppl? Why do most restaurant's add the corn?? Is it for color? I don't get it! Regardless, this was a huge hit at our table which says a lot since 2:3 normally aren't sweetbread fans. House Cured Beef Jerky: flavor was spot on, I liked that it was heavy on the cumin. It reminded me more of a South African biltong than it did the traditional bone dry jerky known in the states, though it did have a nice bite. Beef Sliders: though the beef patty was too well done for my taste, it was actually still quite surprisingly juicy, which is hard to do when they are that tiny Tableside made Steak Tartare: nice balance of tart, richness and creaminess. For our entree we had a family style meat sampler accompanied by 4 veggie sides of sautéed spinach, a broccoli, a mushroom medley and a veg Israeli cous cous...the family style platter included their signature dry aged Tomahawk, Dry aged prime, Long bone veal chop and a steak the call Suprise, pronounced sooprees. Usually in my experiencr, veal chops are manhandled and cooked to death, this one was done to a perfect medium rare which kept all the juices intact. The standout for me was the dry aged prime, then the Tomahawk, the surprise was just Ok. But by far, their meats were the best I've had in a long time. Desserts again all looked beautiful but out of 9 served 5 were great: chocolate mousse, chocolate lava cake, lemon merengue pie, housemade passion fruit sorbet and coconut sorbet. I have to equally mention the uglies of the evening: Beef Ravioli with a butternut sauce...pasta was way undercooked and filing and sauce did not compliment eachother. Salmon Tartare: when you mash up fresh salmon to a pulp and then place it on top of guacomole of the same consistency, mouthfeel is not pleasant nor appetizing. Salmon Ceviche and Salmon Flautas combo: the ceviche was actually quite nice. Refreshing and bright in flavor and seasoning. But the accompanied fried flautas were all wrong. Salmon was incredible fishy and nothing meshed inside the half soggy/half hard as a rock corn tortilla shell. Moroccan Chili: no body to the dish. Flavors were muddy and not seasoned at all. Special platter of the evening: meatballs were not moist but crumbly in texture, the chicken empanada: filling to the encasing dough ratio was off, the grilled shisito pepers were great though. The Flan and Creme Brulee: way too much starch in both. Not sure what they are using to bind them but it was a way too heavy handed. Both are light airy custard dishes, well the air was beaten out of them both. Apple tart: just Ok. Nothing stood out flavor wise, you almost forgot it was apple. Pecan pie: again a miss. The brown sugar filling was extremely gummy in texture and clawingly sweet that we took turns taking a bit of the vanilla ice cream to counter it. So back to customer service...the restaurant staff being attentive and at the ready should happen without saying, and this component is definitely present here. But when a customer constructively tells their server a dish doesn't work OR if the server sees that the dish was barely touched and asks said diner was anything wrong and what they could do to improve the dish, a f/u up of sort should happen imo. I think taking back the dish and not charging the diner is appropriate, of course within reason that is. There are several reasons why I have my staple go to's for upscale dining...it's not about getting freebies, but just making the gesture of showing your clientele a bit if appreciation is all it takes to have a loyal consistent following. It doesn't cost the restaurant much to comp an app or dessert or drink or two in the grand scheme. Sadly Prime Bistro falls short in this department. Still, it was a solid first experience.

    A totally new idea to the Kosher of central. A classy steak house The place is attractive stepping in it looks like a steak house wood beams,white table cloths, and charm from days gone by. Almost empty when we arrived at 5 it quickly picked up and here lies the problem. Slow service Menu with lots of steak choices , burgers as well as a few fish choices. Very tasty fresh baked bread served with olive oil poured by our waiter) wish he had come and offered us more) Kids menu too We ordered a fillet , burgers and teriyaki salmon plus a side of creamed spinach was ok. ($9 for the little side) Plus a kids chicken fingers Food was very nicely presented on big plates with generous portion of fries One burger was way too rare though it was ordered medium And the steak for which this establishment is promoting was not worth it's $32.00 price Typical prices for an upscale eatery They just opened so we will be back for another try Nice check in offer of a free glass of wine lovely choices thank you.

This place came highly recommended by my friends, but after the experience I had, and as much as I wanted to give this place four or five stars, I cannot honestly say that this experience was a top tier one. Let me first say that the food was SPECTACULAR - if I were to rate this experience on food alone, I would give five stars: -Shrimp cocktail was jumbo and cocktail sauce was zesty - three bites per shrimp! -Fried Zucchini was a unique wavy potato chip-style presentation where the breading was in perfect ratio to the zucchini. -Duck was the star of the meal - generous portion, tender, flavorful, crispy skin with moist meat, Sweet potatoes, onions, and carrots cooked perfectly, raspberry sauce the perfect balance to the naturally salty duck. -Porterhouse also cooked perfectly and sliced nicely for sharing, though the meat could have used a bit more seasoning but was otherwise excellent.  Onion rings were crispy and light and needed no dipping sauce. -Brussels Sprouts were delicious and roasted to perfection. -Mashed Potatoes had a nice blend of cream, garlic, and seasoning, and had a nice buttery texture. -Mac and Cheese was gooey, unctuous, and had solid flavor. Unfortunately, that is where the compliments mostly end for this particular visit, because the guest experience brought this meal down from four or five stars to two stars total. What follows is NOT an intention to point fingers, but an honest list of areas where the team dropped the ball and could use this feedback constructively to be better in tune to the needs of their guests: -When I arrived before my party, there were two individuals at the host stand - neither of them greeted me, asked me if I had a reservation, or how many were in my party. -There is no ambient music in the entire venue - something about a steakhouse makes me think of nice relaxing music in the background where you know it's there but you can still have a conversation with your fellow guests (or bartender). -While waiting for the rest of my party, I watched a guest be served a steak without a steak knife - the guest had to ask for one.  Huge service issue for any steakhouse. -When our party was sat in the dining room, we were sat without dinner menus.  We had to wait over five minutes for menus to be brought to us and for our server to introduce himself. -We had to wait another 15 minutes before we saw him again, heard about the specials, and our orders were taken.-We had to wait 25 minutes from the moment we sat down before a breadbasket was brought to us - in it, one of the four rolls was stale and unable to be cut in half. -Our appetizers came out extremely quickly, one minute after bread (six minutes after our orders were taken), so at least this was a nice change of pace in the service.  But they came so quickly that they beat our server to the table, and were sitting on the serving tray adjacent to us for three minutes before he came back to serve us or have a backwaiter present the dishes to us so we could serve ourselves.  -A member of my party ordered a soda - it took over 10 minutes for the soda to reach the table. -Our entrees arrived at the table before our table was marked for the next course - we had no plates and no steak knives.  The food was then taken back out of the room, and several minutes later, we received our plates and steak knives before the food returned; also, after appetizers were finished but before the food arrived, the table was cleared of app plates, app knives, bread plates, and bread knives - one of the members of my party had his fork taken away and not replaced - he did not receive a replacement until after the entrees were served and after he asked our server for a new fork; this was the second time in an hour I saw a guest not have the utensils needed in order to eat a steak dinner.   -No managers came around to touch tables and check in on guests - not just our table, but every table in our dining room during the two hours we were present.  We did see someone who might have resembled a manager who was at the host stand as we were leaving. The server himself was affable, this is not a knock on him alone as a server - He clearly made eyes at the support staff when things were not going right. But overall the service and guest experience missed the mark completely on this meal, and the overall experience was saved by amazing food. This steakhouse has lots of history on Long Island yet is set in their ways in certain aspects of how they present themselves and what type of clientele for whom they are marketing themselves. I also know that the Long Island market is a challenging one when trying to exceed the needs of guests. Having said that, this place has some areas of improvement which are very easily attained if attention to detail in guest experience and service are adhered to.
