    The server was rude. It almost felt like they were rushing us to leave. While we were eating, the server comes up and asks us if we were done, which was very weird.

    I had to change my reservations 3 different times. I felt terrible continuing to call but the staff was so kind and accommodating. Always enjoy my time at Prima, the food and staff are always 10/10.

    Overrated! Apps were good and the drinks were great. The actual entrees itself were terrible! Tables are on top of one another and they rush you to eat and get out.

    I asked to be moved to a table next to ours that was by the window and they refused saying they had reservations coming. I made our reservation two months before so I was not happy with the treatment given. They sat us in the bar area and made no attempt to move us to another table.

    Food was great, however, we waited a very long time just to get our drinks & then our food. Got there around 8:30p & ended up leaving around 11p due to service. I had to find a server to take the bill so we could leave. Also mentioned it was my boyfriend’s birthday & nothing was done. Disappointing experience but food was great.
