    My friend and I are part of a group visiting from North America. We had a free night and chose this restaurant. Great idea!! She has an enormous number of serious food allergies. No worries; the manager met us at our table with a binder and discussed everything very seriously. The food was insanely good. Service was excellent and presentation was beautiful. The prices, even with the conversion were extremely reasonable. We’d pay MUCH more than that in the Chicago area for these meals. I can’t say enough about the whole experience. Do yourself a favor and spend an evening here if you have the chance. Thank you Richard for your attention to detail and for an evening we won’t soon forget.

    Husband and I decided to go to Prime for our wedding anniversary meal. We’d heard good things about prime, but never experienced it for ourselves. It was very quiet, and we were the only ones in, until near the end of our meal when a few others came in. Lovely setting, lovely decor, generally just a lovely wee place. We ordered two starters and two mains from the lunch menu. The food was outstanding!! However, the steaks were the part that did it for us. Personally, the best peppercorn sauce I’ve ever tried! The staff (two lovely women on) were fantastic! Overall, great value for money and great food! We will definitely be back.

    Had a fabulous meal last week. It was my son’s 21st birthday and the staff were outstanding in ensuring he had a most memorable experience. The serving staff were so attentive and happy . The food was outstanding and portions just perfect. It was our first time at Prime and we will definitely be back. Such an amazing restaurant in a ‘prime’ location ♥️ thank you.

    Prime is guaranteed to give you a quality experience in terms of food, customer care and location. It's so peaceful to watch the river flow by. Richard looked after us perfectly. He was attentive, on hand, fun, informative, friendly and has great energy. We ordered the Prime Steak Sandwich and Wagyu Burger, thoroughly enjoyed both, and will, of course, be back again soon. Thanks team!

We're also glad you enjoyed the peaceful riverside setting and your meals. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again very soon.

    Lovely location for a restaurant and the ambience and staff are very good. However, for the second time, the steak was overdone and dry in places. For meat that cost £41 just for a steak, that is not good. The half lobster I had was also overdone, but still tasty. To be fair, I ate most of the meal and the restaurant still took 50% off the price of the main meal. So, I would recommend going there, but I think they could certainly improve their steak cooking.
    PrimeResponded on May 6, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the ambience, location, and service, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. However, we’re very sorry to learn that the steak and lobster weren’t cooked to the standard you expected especially on more than one occasion. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, particularly with premium dishes. We’re glad our team were able to offer a gesture of goodwill on the day, and we will be passing your comments directly to our kitchen team for review and improvement. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to strive for excellence, and we do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the quality dining experience you deserve.

    Arrived very nice welcome. Food order was very quick!. Ordered food and it took 50 mins to arrive at the table then the sauces took another 5 to 10 mins to arrive. On that our steaks were over cooked!
    PrimeResponded on May 6, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you received a warm welcome on arrival, but we're very sorry that the rest of your dining experience did not meet expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait such a long time for your food and sauces, only to find your steaks overcooked. This is not the level of service or quality we aim to provide, and your comments have been shared with both our kitchen and front-of-house teams to ensure we address these issues. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us to improve, and we do hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the experience you were hoping for.
