    Delicious food. Hard to describe the mastery required to put together such delicious, well balanced Italian-inspired meals. A lot of care is put into coming up with such a great menu and preparing such amazing dishes. A wonderful culinary experience all around. Not a place to go for a cheap meal, but most definitely satisfying and worth every penny.

    Had the 5 course tasting menu - was delicious. The extra wine pairing wasn’t much to our taste.

    Amazing food and large portions. Great place for a night out. Service was a bit hectic the night we had supper. It was a Monday and they said they weren’t expecting the crowd that they had. We had a reservation and I know so did a few others that were seated after us so I’m not sure if that’s a fair excuse by their staff. We will be going back for the 5 course!

    Comments after our meal: The best ravioli I ever had! The ricotta was so smooth! I’m getting the beef carpaccio the next time! The pavlova, the butterscotch “pudding” was the best! How about that espresso martini! Needless to say, it was exactly the meal my wife & I were looking to have for our 25th anniversary.

    Service was top notch and professional. Wait staff was courteous with our questions and very informative. Suggestions on menu items were helpful and appreciated. Drinks, starters and mains were all fantastic. Always a pleasure to dine at Primal.

    It made our first anniversary night so much better. The butterscotch dessert is always to die for and keeps me coming back!
