    This is the second time for us at Estella’s. We loved it so much the first time we brought back the entire family. Our experience was even better the second time around. Food is delicious and the staff is so attentive and sweet! A big shout out to our waiter for the evening, Issman! He was wonderful. Definitely going back again and again!

    Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Had a lovely lunch with a friend in a delightful relaxed club like cozy setting. The menu was large and varied enough that we were able to dine on what we truly desired. The wait staff was very accommodating and allowed us all the time we required to decide and chat. I Highly recommend this warm library atmosphere for a casual dining encounter or a business lunch
