    SEA SCALLOPS
    LaSheena J.

    This restaurant was beautiful and surprisingly quiet for a Sunday night. I was celebrating my birthday with my husband and it definitely was a nice, quiet, romantic dinner. Although, we did have to walk through a casual pizza restaurant before getting settled in Prime. Our server was very informative, taking the time to explain their aged meats and the different selections available. The food was amazing. The server even recommended my first red wine -- a Cabernet Sauvignon -- to pair with my steak. The meal arrived quickly, was served hot, and was seasoned to perfection. The price was on the higher end, but all in all we had a great experience. I'll definitely be going back!

    Let me start off with I'm not a big steak guy and didnt even get any. I thought the appetizers looked really good so I tried them out. Interesting location for a upscale restaurant. Had a huge parking lot but I also think that's because there's a pizza spot in the main floor. I made reservations, it was pretty busy so I'd recommend it. Beautiful restaurant and service was excellent. I will say the sun was still out and the windows are huge, so depending on where you sit, that could be a bad experience as the sun was all in my face. I tried multiple appetizers and I enjoyed all of them. It was definitely spendy so depending on your budget, this isn't a place I'd eat at often, maybe special occasions.

    My wife and I had a very nice anniversary dinner at Prime. It was nice to find something a bit upscale near where we live instead of having to drive 45 minutes. First, when you walk in, note that Prime is upstairs. The first level is a casual pizza pub. The space is modern but comfortable. Service was incredibly good. They have a nice list of cocktails and we enjoyed our Hemingway Daquiri and Vieux Carre cocktails. It's hard to find the latter in the Twin Cities, especially one well made. We started with the Bread, which is $10. It was good bread, and the accompanying Honey Butter was very good, but I still get really annoyed by this trend of having to pay for bread. We followed that up with the Bone Marrow appetizer. It was very good, and came with nice crispy Ciabatta toasts and an Apricot Jam that didn't have much Apricot flavor but the citric acidity was good for cutting the delicious greasiness of the marrow. My wife had the Scallops appetizer as an entree. With 5 decent sized scallops, it was perfect and she really liked them. She also ordered the Shrimp Scampi side dish ($23), which was the only miss of the night. The Shrimp were cooked perfectly, but were under-seasoned and there was no garlic flavor at all. Despite all the reviews on here implying that Prime has trouble getting meat temperatures right, I ordered the Petite Filet Mignon. It came at a perfect Medium Rare as ordered. It was also nicely seasoned and paired well with the very good Bleu Cheese Fondue add-on ($5). For dessert, we opted for the Whiskey Bread Pudding, even though they offered us a free Molten Lava Cake for our anniversary (the gave us a glass of sparkling wine to share instead). The Bread Pudding was good, but was a little dense and didn't really have any Whiskey notes. All in all, we had a very good meal and would definitely return.

    After reading other reviews, I went into Prime on Monday night with lowered expectations. I guess that's the way to do it because it way exceeded my expectations and we were very pleased with the food, the drinks, the service, the ambiance, everything that we are already planning to go back. The menu has so many great sounding items that we wanted to try them all. What we enjoyed - Started off with drinks of the Signature Old Fashioned and The Austin Connection. The old fashioned came with a fun Prime stamped craft ice cube. We enjoyed the oysters and crab cakes for appetizers. The minuet was delicious with the oysters and the tarragon aioli was flavorful with the crab cakes. The wedge salad was delicious with the blue cheese dressing and bacon nicely showing up. Seeing the dry age steaks when we entered, we simply had to try the dry aged ribeye and to make it a bit of surf and turf action, we got the shrimp and lobster gnocchi. The dry aged ribeye rib was perfectly cooked to our requested medium rare minus level. I absolutely loved the shrimp and lobster gnocchi - there was ample amount of shrimp and lobster in the dish and the sauce was on point - wonderful. The loaded hash browns were our side dish and they were flavorful with an excellent crisp and an ample quantity. We rounded out the meal with the bread pudding dessert. The sauce and chutney was tasty, but the bread pudding pieces were a little dense and dry for my tastes. That is the one item that I will get differently the next time.

    Finally fine dining in Blaine! Reading some of the menu items I questioned what I would like however all was fabulous. I really enjoyed the scallops and the millionaire potatoes! Person next to me had the wagyu steak and it looked amazing, I almost wanted to ask him for a taste. We walked in without reservations and enjoyed a seat at the bar. Service was great

    Can we agree that if I'm charged 158 bucks for 16 ounces of unembellished beef tenderloin, 5 small dry scallops, and one 4 ounce coffee, I have the right to be picky? Yes? I'll keep it simple. I'm not impressed. Some creds for y'all haters... 1) My elderly mother (it was her 83rd birthday) and I took the small freight elevator to the 2nd floor steak house. That was interesting. We got a personal tour to the back corner of the pizza joint (by the one arcade game) then our beautiful escort "unlocked" the elevator and rode up with us. She was very friendly and wonderful...but not white glove service. 2) Apparently, no one expected us as we popped out of the elevator in the back corner, we wandered around like lost cattle, and we made our way to the front host stand. We waited for what seemed like forever and got mean mugged by some shady folks at the bar. 3) Strange, strange vibes from the bar, BTW. That's the first thing in your face too. There were half a dozen older dudes lurking at the end of the bar. Owners? Local slackers? They stared, furtive glances back & worth, quiet whispers...they looked like geriatric mafioso's, gossiping about the squares coming in to eat. I looked for Tony Soprano but he must have been in the back office. 4) It took forever for our server. First, he was gonna find "her"...then he checked back, still looking for "her"...then, I guess it was just "him", not the missing "her" anymore. Okay, dude, you could have just taken our order the first time, not the fourth trip to our table. I'm just sayin'. 5) He brought coffee, he forgot the cream. The coffee was excellent. 6) Scallops were tiny and dry. The corn cream, sauce, brulee, gravy, slimy whatever was excellent. 7) Two tenderloins, one over-cooked, one under-cooked. The flavor was great, BTW. 8) My mom opened her mouth; she mentioned & rubbed-in the missing cream faux pas. The server apologized and skipped back to our table with 2 tacky gas station style plastic creamers. Really? Now things were getting a little silly. 9) Our server had some curious vibes too. He reminded me of an old biker friend of mine from the 1980s named "Gator". It's like I was back in time, listening to Gator...but he was goofing around, pretending to be a sophisticated English butler by adding extra syllables to every other word. Ya know what I mean? Hey, I love ya, dude. And I'm gonna drop a big tip. But ya gotta keep it real. Using adjectives and verbs with 5 or 6 syllables is just funny. 10) All these things seem so easily fixable but there are so so so so many of them! This has to be management, right? I won't be back. I'm a realist, not a hater. So I'm definitely coming back soon to checkout the pizza place on the first floor! I hear it's great.

    We went to Prime to celebrate my husband's birthday and had a wonderful experience. Our server was Luke and he was charismatic, humorous, and enthusiastic. The restaurant's ambience was nice. It was a bit bright lighting wise that they did not need to have the table lamps. A nice candle on the table would have paired well with the amount of light the restaurant offered. The bright lamp on the table would be a nice touch if they dimmed the restaurant to create more of a romantic/moodier atmosphere. The food was great and cooked to perfect. The crab cakes were meaty. The tomahawk was tender and juicy. The edges were crisp, which is what I prefer. It was just a little saltier than I'd like. If they lessened the amount of salt it would have been 10/10. We opted for the loaded hash browns and they did not disappoint. Since it was my husband's birthday, they offered us a complimentary dessert or choice of desert drink. I did like that they gave an option. We chose the crème brûlée and it was delicious. The portions are large and every dish is shareable. The prices are not terribly expensive for the amount of food you get. All steaks are age dried between 28-60 days depending on the cut (a little lesson from our server) and they will soon serve Kobe beef in the near future. Overall 9/10. I would recommend going and supporting this new business in Blaine

    Steaks were not worth the money. Dry aged steak was very stringy and dry. Sides were okay. Service was exceptionally good.

    Great new restaurant with all the vibes! Service was excellent- Paige took great care of me at the bar for a quick dinner. Hashbrowns and Brussels sprouts were delicious!

    Call ahead and verify things like happy hour at prime. The website says 2-4 Fridays but they arbitrarily decide to not do it for no reason. PS the "sound system" in the pizza bar is worse than the AM radio in a late 80s geo metro... We will try again but they really need to polish up their customer service. Update, the sound system down stairs sounds like a vintage Close and Play. Also the help downstairs knows nothing about the goings on upstairs, again customer service could use a tweaking.

    We were helped immediately upon coming in, we were seated where we needed (bc of a baby in a car…read moreseat), and our order taken within a minute or two. We ordered the lettuce wraps, Korean street noodles, a mocktail, and a non Corona. (They're down with the nons, which is a GREAT addition to any menu. Owner, thank you for that, I desperately needed to trick my brain into thinking I was drinking a real beer tonight.) The menu is diverse, they have simple known dishes, and different styles of dishes you haven't tried before to mix it up a little. Give the hare a try? Absolute yes. The ambiance is calm, music at a decent volume, and lights are low, and the food and drinks are plentiful. This is an easy first date spot, late night food spot, or chill evening to gather with friends! The staff was helpful, warm, and super prompt. Will be back, great vibe!

    I am a recently diagnosed celiac. I very much wanted to like this place because the amount of…read moreGF/gluten-friendly restaurants in this area are slim. The two positives: 1) Our waitress. For the life of me I cannot remember her name, but she was delightful. Blonde with an easy smile, super attentive to our table, even when we were disappointed. 2) Patio seating. It was nice to have the option to choose sitting inside or outside during the summer months. The patio looked clean and well-maintained. Now...the critiques. 1) The lack of menu modifications. This is a big one for me. To me, this is a sign of a very insecure and lazy chef. The only way I can figure justifying no customer menu modifications is if you were eating somewhere with a Michelin star. This place does not (and food criticism to follow below). What frustrated me is that -- as someone with anxiety -- I checked the menu online. The fine print at the bottom of their physical menu did not make it onto their website at all. I checked again after leaving and still did not see any disclaimer upon further review. I think that's really telling about how unpopular this particular kitchen policy would be if it was made more public. It should not be one chef's option to decide what the appropriate "flavor profile" for a dish is if customers can see aspects from other dishes that they would enhance their experience with a meal. Having a variety rich menu should allow for wonderful offerings from other dishes to brought in for customer-specific tastes. Swapping out different kinds of aioli was one feature that my father mentioned that would not be permitted by this chef's ego trip. 2) The Cheese curds were greasy. And yes, fried food naturally has some grease. Unfortunately the cloth napkins are not a conducive way to remove excess grease. Further, these cheese curds were greasier than other comparable restaurants in the area. It was so bad I had some very fun intestinal distress after leaving the restaurant. So. The first thing I put in my mouth from this restaurant left me feeling ill. Overall, this experience and this menu knowledge was an incredibly unsatisfying endeavor. I cannot, however, bring myself to give one star though, no matter how upset bad food makes me. The service was honestly good and the facilities were nice. The mission of this restaurant -- to serve gluten-free/vegetarian meals in a location that doesn't have a whole lot of other options -- is admirable. I, however, will not be choosing to return.

    2026 Dive Bar 3 of 40…read more Just off Main Street, you will find this corner bar not far from the river. Upon entering, you will notice a small bar with an adequately stocked bar, featuring about 8 taps and a number of canned and bottled beers for your liking. There are plenty of high-top tables and booths to accommodate a decent crowd. MaGillycuddy's Bar is one of those places that instantly makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy and relaxed, thanks in no small part to the awesome tin ceiling-- it kind of gives this place a vintage charm you don't see often. The crowd is just what one would expect, just regular folks enjoying a libation and watching the Wild game. And they have pulltabs!! We settled in on a high-top table and ordered beers and our lunch. The Nashville Hot Shrimp is a must-try. just the right amount of heat, and packed with flavor. The Guinness cheeseburger is an open-faced burger topped with fries, Guinness cheese sauce, and, of course, bacon. That was a bit messy, and was enjoyable, but there are some other items I will want to try before going back to that entree. Between the solid food offerings, the friendly vibe, and the cool interior, MaGillycuddy's has all the makings of a local favorite. If you're anywhere near Aonka, do yourself a favor and stop in--you won't regret it.

    My boyfriend and I were originally trying to go to a different business in the area for lunch, but…read morethey were closed and we saw this place had good ratings! I'm really glad we stopped in! There is a parking ramp and street parking in the area. Both are free. They were decorating for Halloween and it gave us such a fun vibe! We were immediately welcomed in and the service was phenomenal the entire time we were there! I would go back on service alone! The upstairs area isn't overly large but they do have tables, booths and a bar to sit at. There was a sign that said "basement closed" so I assume there was more down there. There are TV's, so this would be a cool spot to grab a beer and watch the game for sure! There is also a small outdoor seating area and is next to a fountain. The food: The deep fried pickle spears were good! The batter is light and crispy! However, because these are spears, they took a long time to cool to properly eat. It comes with jalapeño ranch, which has a slight kick but nothing crazy. I recommend getting the regular ranch too! My boyfriend got the Reuben and noted it was "solid." I got the deep fried buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries! Both were excellent! The chicken was seasoned well before battered and the sweet potato fries had a sweet/lime/seasoning that was unique and tasty! This is definitely worth checking out!

I appreciate the new remodeled area of the food court, it does look pretty nice. The ambiance of the bar is a bit odd with its placement- it's in the middle of the food court and feels like a pop-up bar situation. It's mostly a bar with a counter around it that you sit at! There is a huge plus in that since you are in the middle of the food court, there are a lot of great options to choose from. Something for everyone! There are kids running around and some games being played nearby so be prepared for that if you're hoping for a quiet night out. The service was pretty good- it wasn't too busy and it's a small location. The drink menu is fun and has some cool options to choose from! Mocktails available as well! Everything is priced right. I got the caramel bourbon milkshake and it was very tasty. My friend ordered the blinker, and that was also very good! Overall I rated 3/5 because the menu is good and it's a cute bar, but the ambiance/location could be better. Again, great spot if you want a fun cocktail while taking a break from shopping, and all of the food options are a big plus.
