    Everything was delicious! We tried the scallops, bacon, filet mignon, and finished with the espresso martini dessert, all outstanding. The ambiance and décor were beautiful, making it a great spot for a night out. The only downside was that the service could have been a bit more attentive, but overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back.

    Food is gigantic and quite good. We got the kitchen sink brunch, omelette, and French toast. Everything was delicious and under $20 each, which seems good nowadays with inflation. We ate outside on a nice day, so had plenty of fresh air and space. Server came over four times before we were ready to order. Some people might have found this offputting but I was glad she paid attention to us. I'm so full I can barely breathe right now. The food is very rich and they don't skimp on salt or butter. Definitely gonna be drinking tons of water for the rest of the day. Maybe I'll have a light salad for dinner...

    The food is well prepared and of high quality. We ordered the herb whipped ricotta ($16) as a shareable appetizer and I was immediately disappointed because we saw a "pigs on a wire" come out to another table, lol. The herb whipped ricotta was great, it is served with vegetables and pita chips. I ordered the gnocchi and burrata ($32) which was perfectly cooked and delicious. I would have ordered the steak but the price is commensurate with NY Steak house prices and I just was not hungry enough to justify ordering it. Instead we saw others and it looked fantastic and ate it vicariously through them. If you are coming with meat eaters I'd recommend sharing the main steak and trying the sides. The onion rings are really onion straws which I like better. My wife had the Chilean sea bass ($54) which she liked a lot. The service was excellent and appropriately timed (a pet peeve of mine when it isn't). My only complaint was that it was loud. I don't know if I can't hear anymore or it was just loud. Understand that this restaurant is pricey but you quality like this comes at a price. I never mind paying for it when it is this good.

    This place is fantastic! Driving through from Massachusetts to Long Island and unable to take the ferry, and stumbled upon this place thanks to Yelp. Without a doubt one of the best meals my coworker and I have had at least in the last year. The Gnocchi being described on the menu as pillowy was literally the most perfect description. My strip steak had the most incredible crust on the outside while being the decadent mid rate I ordered. Whatever house made sauce served with it just intensified the depth of flavor. I can go on and on about this experience.. unfortunately the only pictures I managed to take were of the bathroom picture I thought was funny when I went to wash my hands before being seated and of my delicious drink.

    Salmon dinner , nice presentation

    I went to Prime for the 1st time for lunch . I liked the interior but I can see over crowding can happen with the center island seating . Staff were friendly and attentive . I order the Lobster roll and my friend ordered the salmon dinner . My lobster roll was good but not great . My side of truffle fries came out kind of soggy but tasty . My friends salmon dinner was good but he mentioned his veggies tasted kind of bland . I think I want to go here for dinner to get a better feel of the resteraunt and taste more menu items . For now it's a solid three stars .

    This is the place to go for a perfect cut of beef ! The Tomahawk for two is enormous and we ate the WHOLE thing. We were there on a Saturday night and there was a very lively bar scene. We will definitely go back!

    3.5 stars.....but I'll round up to 4 stars. I was really rooting for you here, but there was some bad with the good. We walk in, cool vibe/decor and very clean appearance. We had 6:30pm reservations last night to celebrate our 9th year wedding anniversary. We were promptly seated at a table for two wedged between other parties of 3-4. Immediately we noticed it was incredibly hot inside the restaurant. We each order a Filthy Martini, the glasses we felt were smaller than the standard martini glass and we could barely taste the Ketel One. Now we're looking around and not only are we feeling hotter, but everyone around us is sticky-looking and glistening with sweat. At this point, if we can catch the waitress before she brings out our hanging bacon appetizer, we were going to ask if we could switch to sit outside instead. Of course, within moments she arrives with our app. Now we're locked in. I asked the waitress if the air was on and she said she'd ask to make sure. The hanging bacon was really delicious, but upon arrival the rosemary was not smoking as we saw it delivered to other tables. Next I ordered a glass of Malbec and my husband got an IPA. Much better choices. For dinner, I had the 7oz filet, medium with blue cheese and a side of creamed spinach. My husband ordered the 11oz filet, medium well (came with "Peter" sauce automatically apparently) and a side of the whipped mashed potatoes. Both of our steaks (although initially looked small) were cooked perfectly and very filling. The mashed potatoes were delicious, but that creamed spinach was a pretty disappointing. When I order a creamed spinach, I expect a smooth, mucky type of consistency. Here the spinach needed to be cooked far longer, was quite chewy and the cream sauce was like a thin soup and never really thickened. Boo. All of this ran us a bit over $200 (and then an additional like $40 for tip) So it was quite a pricy meal. By the end, the restaurant felt a tinge cooler. Could have been because some of those parties around us had left or maybe they did turn that ac up after all.

    Tonight was a special dinner so we opted to try Prime on a recommendation for good steak. We started with a dz. Oysters, 3 varieties. Paired with crisp martini, the bluepoints were briny yet sweet, the Wellfleet were larger and delicious, but the Kumamoto were by far, my favorite. Service was prompt, yet comfortable and yet at one point, awkward with dishes arriving at odd moments. We chose the rib eye poached lobster tail combo with asparagus and scalloped potatoes. The decor is contemporary with an industrial starkness and comfortably lit. A freshly torched crème brûlée rounded out the meal and was tasty. With a higher than average price point, the meal met its menu description, but the anxious manager created an odd vibe. I would try them again for lunch.

    If you're hungry as you read this, consider alternatives. Even with generous portions my clearest memory of the meal was hunger, watching the 60 minutes from order to entree arrival ratchet by. For a steak restaurant's beef I can say my burger did well, tender, satiating, the ideal amount of grease. Most of problems with the food came with their decision making, the kimchi chicken slider may be fashionable but does not actually taste good, while the Peter Luger sauce that came with the steak frites may be the worst dipping sauce in Guilford. The fries themselves were almost tasteless. Fried enough to avoid being soggy and shapeless but not enough to give them character or god forbid taste. It's like the chef considered volume, presentation, quality ingredients, advice from restauranteurs, but forgot to actually taste what they made. The ambiance is a faux rustic grey common to aspirational dining, decorations include prints of other people's pictures bought off Amazon and boxing gloves dyed to look old that have never been worn. The writing of their menu looks like it was crowd sourced from Reddit. A 90 minute meal on a Monday night in Connecticut is excessive, as is the $173 ish price tag after tips.

    We went here during the post Thanksgiving weekend and had a great time. Dinner was good. We had fish, salads, and a steak across the 4 of us. For Guilford, this is probably the best restaurant in the area. If you are looking for a steakhouse, it is probably the only one in a 50-mile radius. Service was what you expected for this level of restaurant, and the ambiance is an upscale steakhouse style but a but more modern, which is a nice change from the old style steakhouse you come across.

I decided on my…read moreway home from the beach (a birthday tradition), I would find a bakery from which to get a cake. I found 2 online - one, I learned as I arrived at the address, was "By appointment only" and another was closed for their summer break. Thankfully, I found Chris and Chris at Take The Cake! I couldn't decide between two options so I got 2 cakes! I selected a chocolate on chocolate cake and a chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream frosting. They were delicious!! They are also beautiful and when I told Chris that they were for my birthday, he decorated them with flowers. They are about 40 min from my home but I will keep them in mind for the future! Thank you!

My mom and I drove over an hour to Take the Cake in Guilford to pick up a cake for a dear friend's birthday. I placed the order over a week ago and confirmed on Wednesday that I would be here after 10:00am today. We arrived at 10:30am and no one was here. We waited for almost an hour and watched as other customers came and went, including a woman who had placed an order to be picked up, and the owner had said she would be there by 10:00am. I called 12 times and sent messages on Facebook and Instagram...no response. This is very inconsiderate to your customers, Take the Cake...and it breaks my heart because you have been my favorite bakery since my wedding in April 2017...and you made an unforgettable cake. What happened?
