    We are long time customers. The place can use some updating and a deep cleaning. No hot sake ? Def should make sure the machine works. The staff was very good from Louis the server, Hector the chef and Andy the manager. They all were very accommodating. Food is consistent and very good.

    this is my second time dining at Labebe Prime since the rebranding and i’m even more blown away than the first time. This will definitely be our new celebration spot. first of all, i should mention that the dining room is completely redesigned and it is stunnning. the ambiance is intimate yet lively, and the vibes are impeccable. you truly feel like you’re dining out in the city even though you’re close to home. next up, the food. THE FOOD. it’s so good that it hurts. my wife and i ordered oysters, sushi hand rolls and the Spanish octopus to start. the oysters were truly the freshest i’ve ever had and i’ve eaten a lot of oysters, all over the world. the hand rolls satisfy any sushi craving and the octopus was flavorful and tender. the capers and olives add the perfect salty touch! 10/10 would order them all again! for our main courses, i got the stuffed Branzino and my wife got the cowboy steak. the Branzino was out of the world! flaky and well seasoned, with the crab meat stuffing stealing the show. the steak was cooked to perfection!! we will never order steak from anywhere else again. the quality of everything we ate, especially the steak, was top notch. it’s also worth mentioning the portions are huge! on to dessert.what can i say except everything was better than the last. we ordered the tiramisu and to our surprise the waiters came out with a full spread of tiramisu, the viral Dubai chocolate, gelato and seven layer cookies. Tony, the chef and owner, came over to let us know it was his treat to celebrate the occasion and honestly, i’d come here just for dessert. everything’s made in house which isn’t shocking considering how fresh it all was. the Dubai chocolate is so worth the hype and the gelato was so creamy and perfect. the tiramisu was light and fluffy and the cookies tasted just like the OG ones from brooklyn. Tony and his staff are true professionals and experts at their craft!

    From the beautiful setting to a great server and service, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to celebrate a special moment. I appreciate that they acknowledged it was for my anniversary with my partner and, throughout the night, tried their best to make it memorable. I will return.
