We pluck fresh produce from our on-site 7,000- square-foot garden at Whisper Creek Farm.

    Wait time was very short thanks to having a reservation but people without reservation didn’t wait long either. The booth was nice and spacious, lighting was perfectly dim but was still able to read menu & eat. Our server was amazing and everything me & my husband ordered (which was a lot) was absolutely delicious. My husband is the worst critic and he even thought the food was amazing. Baby blue cosmo was great, I would had 3 but I was saving room for dessert lol would definitely go back, maybe even bring the kids since it was very family friendly.

    We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant during our Valentine's Day celebration. Our reservation was for 7 PM, and we were seated promptly and professionally. The goat cheese appetizer, along with the duck and brownie lava cake, received a perfect 10/10. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere on the top deck, and the cocktails were exceptionally well made. Overall, our experience was delightful, as we felt that the service, food, and ambience were all excellent. We definitely plan to return soon to try more menu items. I highly recommend this location; it offers great value for the experience.

    Had a wonderful meal and overall experience. We weren’t sure what to expect with the limited menu but Primo did not disappoint! The bread service, appetizers and entrees were all excellent. I enjoyed the octopus starter and the pork saltimbocca, my wife had the brodo and gemelli with mushrooms & chicken- all were fabulous- definitely order the bread service too! Gio and Allie our servers were attentive and professional- Gio made some great wine pairing suggestions! Great food, service and overall experience!
