Ate at the bar with Peter. He is a real pro…you are lucky to have him on your team! We both had the specials. Bone in filet and shrimp over pasta both excellent.

This is the second time we've enjoyed dinner at Prime. We travel to Key West once a year and we just discovered the restaurant least year. We plan to make this a yearly event. The food is excellent. The service is excellent. There is nothing more you could ask for in a fine restaurant

Loved the food, and the service. Zero complaints at all. Had Merry as our server and she was spot on in helping us choose a wonderful meal for myself (mom) and my son who is a 15 year old. We both had the filet mignon medium rare and it was cooked to perfection! As a foodie and out for steak that night I would highly recommend this restaurant. We did not try seafood so cannot comment on that at all. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening!

We’ve been to most every restaurant on Key West over the past 4 years. Had not been to Prime, as not often seeking a Steakhouse experience down here. Decided to try and glad we did. Server (and support staff) were all great. Deer Creek oysters on special were the best oysters on the shell we’ve had. We shared the 10oz prime filet with blue cheese, and it was outstanding. Our primary residence in Chicago, and this place would stand up to the best in town back home.

I guess I’m use to New York style steak. My wife and son had the filet mignon. It was cooked good. My porterhouse was not cooked the way I’m use to in NY. Flavor was not good . The service was amazing and our waiter was great.
