Great vibe and food was fantastic. We went on a Monday night and it was quite busy. Tells you it’s a good place. Will go again next time in Greenwich. We met Tony and he couldn’t have been nicer too!

Prime is one of my favorite restaurants in Stamford. My brother and I both had steak. The filet mignon and skirt steak were cooked perfectly. The sides were also excellent. I was disappointed with the martini. The glass wasn’t completely full after the pour and the waitress had to go back to the bartender to get more martini! It’s the food (and a good wine list) that keeps me coming back!
