Absolutely magical. We came here for our honeymoon dinner and we were treated with so much care and attention. It really made such a special night that much more special. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Thank you so much. ♥️

No trip to Steamboat Springs is complete without a visit to Primrose. Make a reservation for sure as the word is out that this might just be the best place in town!

Brooke and Gay took excellent care of us and we enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner that evening.

Until Primrose opened, restaurants in Colorado ski areas were an embarrassment. Finally we have the quality that is expected in major ski town restaurants.
Jay
Excellent food and service. A bit pricey but if money is not a barrier, you should definitely try this place!
Elena
Loved our first meal at Primrose. Filets and salads and sea bass sublime. We will be back. And tallow fries! And sprouts! And great service all around.

What a disappointment! You spend $400 on a steak dinner for two, and you'd expect an experience to remember, not one to forget. I had a 9oz glass of the Pinot Noir and my wife had a 9oz chardonnay. $56 and $61 a glass. My wife couldn't drink hers as it was too dry. The only positive was the Hamachi crudo appetizer. It was exceptional and worth a try. But it was all downhill from there. My wife ordered the Wagyu steak medium rare. We understand it can be a little more on the rare side, but this was raw and cold! I ordered the 12 Oz Ribeye with haricots verts. Simple enough. Nope, the steak was overcooked, and the haricots verts were undercooked. Who's doing the cooking the busboy? Then to top it off the french fries were soggie. For $400 bucks make some crispy fries! Lastly, we ordered the apple cake dessert; hoping to salvage the night; but again, we were disappointed. We were looking forward to this birthday dinner for my wife all weekend, and it was such a letdown!

We had one of the best meals of our lives here! The whole experience was amazing, the service was spot on. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We were treated to a glass of bubbly because we were celebrating our anniversary. One of the best dining experiences we have had in a very long time. I will be dreaming of the food for years...

First visit, unfortunately the restaurant's oven was down and they were slammed. The noise level was deafening, and the stress was palpable amongst the staff. The bar was overwhelmed and had trouble keeping up. The food was good, and I would go back again. I just feel like every restaurant we go to now is frantic. It really spoils the meal to be in a frenzied restaurant. I will say though that the staff earned every penny that night! They looked exhausted.

Our waitress, Gay is an absolute gem! Appetizers Prawns, brusel sprouts, chips/potato skin dip were incredible. The steaks and burgers are also delicious.
What a beautiful restaurant! Everyone was so very friendly to us. We sat at a high top table along the window facing the beautiful scenery. All of our food was very good! It was a perfect dining experience!

Short wait for a table with reservation. Service friendly but somewhat slow. Cocktails were tasty but bourbon flight listed as $40 was charged as $59, nearly 50% overcharge. This was subsequently corrected when the error was noticed and brought to attention of server. Crabmeat dip appetizer delicious but with inadequate amount of toasted bread. When requested, a $3 up charge was made. We learned of this only when we got the bill. Salad was delicious and served already with single order split for two people as requested. Steak ordered rare to medium rare but served on medium side of medium rare. Server suggested enjoying steak with extra demiglaze but failed to mention the $5 up charge. Olive oil cake was a disappointment. We won’t go back.

As a restaurant industry veteran with over 20 years of experience as both a server and general manager, I have a deep appreciation for well-executed service, and I want to start by saying the food was exceptional — beautifully prepared in every way. The restaurant itself is stunning, and the overall atmosphere was outstanding. Additionally, the managers and all supporting staff who interacted with our table were genuinely phenomenal — attentive, helpful, and welcoming.
However, our assigned server significantly diminished the experience. He was inattentive and disengaged, visiting our table only once to take our order, which he got partially incorrect, and then didn’t return until it was time to present the check. When we asked to split the bill, he was unable to do so and placed the blame on us for the confusion, which felt unprofessional.
Additionally, a gratuity was added to the bill without any prior mention — not by the server or on the happy hour menu we ordered from — and as a result, an additional tip was unknowingly given on top of the included one. While we accept some responsibility for not catching it in the moment, it was still a disappointing and avoidable situation, especially since transparency around gratuity is standard practice.
Overall, while the experience was anchored by excellent food and a strong team, the service from our assigned server was not reflective of the otherwise high standard set by the rest of your staff.

Overrated, underperformed. Nice atmosphere. Our server was unfortunately sub par and that may have contributed to the food experience. The bread and butter was awesome, the salads were really good. My daughter an amazing mocktail and the Duck 2 Ways. She said the duck was very rich. I had a NY Strip. Maybe $58 is normal for these parts though it was twice what it was worth. I ordered it medium rare and it presented as rare. We had waited so long that I ate it anyway. It had been sitting as it wasn't hot.

Our experience at Primrose is the reason why it is worth it to go out to nice dinners. It was more than just great food, it was an entire experience. When we walked in, the manager, Jennifer, was beyond friendly and immediately knew when we said our names that it was our wedding anniversary. Upon being seated we were welcomed with celebratory sparkling wine and a sign that said happy anniversary. Our server, Nick, was absolutely fantastic. He made us feel at home, was fun to talk to, and had great recommendations. Just when we thought the service couldn't be any better, the Sommelier, Tim, came into the picture and was also terrific and fun to chat with. He even suggested a wine from the location where we went on our honeymoon in celebration of our anniversary. This was our third time coming here for a special occasion and it has never disappointed. The food is top tier, the environment is fancy yet lively, and the staff is extremely friendly.
