   My wife and I decided to celebrate her birthday by trying a new restaurant, and while we were eager to experience something different, we quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit for us. As we sat down, we were excited about the menu options. My wife ordered the Branzoni, and I went with the shrimp dish. When the food arrived, I was taken aback to find only three large shrimp on my plate. For almost $40, I expected more substantial portions. To make matters worse, the asparagus was priced at $16 for just 5 or 6 spears, which felt very overpriced for the small amount we received. My wife’s fish, however, was fresh and cooked well, so we do give credit to the chefs for their preparation. Adding to the discomfort, our table was directly under an air conditioning vent that blasted cold air nonstop. We mentioned it to the staff, and the manager was kind enough to move us to a different table, which we appreciated. As a nice touch, they also gave my wife a complimentary dessert and a birthday card, which was a thoughtful gesture. While we were grateful for the friendly and accommodating service, the high prices and food that didn’t quite meet our expectations left us disappointed.

   Delicious appetizers and cocktails. Comprehensive wine list suitable for entrees. Highly recommend their surf and turf option. Ricotta Mac and cheese, mushrooms, spinach - so delicious! Skillet brownie is a must - the absolute best! Louise delivered superior service and excellent recommendations. Loved the interior - very unique - Prime 131 is an experience not to be missed.

   From the moment we sat down, I had a feeling our experience at Prime 131 wouldn’t be as great as expected. The bar selection was disappointing—they didn’t carry Caymus, Prisoner, or Lychee Martinis. Service was a bit unorganized. We were first greeted by one person who handed us menus and said our waiter would be over shortly. Then, another staff member came by and informed us that they don’t have assigned waiters, as they all just help each other. The appetizers and sushi rolls were good, but the oysters were incredibly small. For the main course, we ordered a tomahawk steak, along with lobster and king crab for the table. However, what was brought out was a pre-sliced steak on a board—not a tomahawk at all. At best, it was a 16oz ribeye, with four pieces being entirely fat. When we pointed this out, they offered to make individual steaks for us, but by that time, the restaurant was closed, and the entire staff was watching us, making for a very uncomfortable dining experience. Unfortunately, when the steaks arrived, they were over-charred and burnt. For a $1,000 dinner, we left disappointed and unsatisfied. The one highlight of the evening was Gustavo—his service stood out and was the best part of the experience.

   We sat at the fire side bar, and Adam served us. BEST SERVICE EVER. I had one of the best strawberry lemon drops with tequila in my life by Oscar the bartender.

   We had appetizers and steaks. The food was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The Parkerhouse rolls which were touted as a specialty were a disappointment -- a bit burned and no better than grocery store rolls. At this price point, there are probably better options. The service was outstanding and the drinks satisfactory.

    Food was OK. Sides were way too small and were not great. Desserts were very good. Did not care for the ambiance of the restaurant. Service was good.
