Thank you Shay and Christopher and entire Primrose staff for a great dinner out tonight. Fresh flavors (I swear the shrimp was spiked with buzz-buttons!) And fantastic drinks. Energy all around was attentive and kind. Seemed like we were being taken care of all around and truly enjoyed our small plates at happy hour. When we come back to Steamboat we will come back!

We got the fois gras and it was very nice. The waitress made the steak tartar sound so wonderful, we ordered that as well. It had so much sauce and spice in it you could not the tartar. We did not finish it. We ordered the salad with goat cheese and pistachios. It was nice and fresh. We also got the aged steak. After we scraped off the ibérico butter it was going to be drowned in, ( same spice as on the tartar ) it was delicious. The potatoes au gratin were a bit dry but had nice flavor. We skipped dessert which we think upset our waitress as her smile dropped, she grabbed the menus and left. It is a nice atmosphere and overall the experience made for an enjoyable evening.

Primrose in Steamboat Springs offers a delightful atmosphere with an innovative menu featuring local ingredients and dry-aged steaks. We were impressed by the ambiance and the creativity of the dishes. However, our experience was dampened by a disappointing oversight: my filet arrived over-rested and cold. Given the price per entree, this was a letdown. Additionally, while the sides are advertised as shareable, they were a bit small for larger groups. Despite these issues, I'm willing to give Primrose another chance in the hope of a warmer steak next time. Overall, it's an awesome restaurant worth revisiting.

Quinn knew the menu and provided the perfect recommendations. She timed our order perfectly by describing the bites, and crumbing the table before our entree came out. She brought cocktails before our appetizer bites came out then brought beer immediately after the entree landed. The lamb meatballs were delightful. I would come back and ask for her.

Haven't really had the chance to deep dive into all that Steamboat has to offer, however, Primrose looked promising. From its interior decor, wine selections, and entrees, it looked like it would not disappoint, and it certainly didn't. Upon entrance, there is bar seating to the left with enough televisions for watching anything. With three tv's, it looked like one tv for every two bar seats. Too the right of the entrance is another type of bar seating, but one that not many restaurants provide, the Chef's Table, where there is an open viewing to the chefs and cooks preparing your meals. For the meal we had the Primrose Salad ($14), which was basically an arugula salad drizzled with vinaigrette and a bit of cranberry sweetness. That was an appetizer to the main dish, medium rare 14oz Ribeye Steak ($61) with a side of Miso Creamed Corn ($12)... Oh my goodness, that steak was incredible. Perfectly juicy from every meaty and fatty bite. They served it sitting on a house sauce which was delicious in itself, but certainly could have been fine without. Can't forget to mention that the creamed corn was a perfect compliment to the steak. All in all, it was very good. Come without reservations, sit at a high table, chefs table, or like we saw, plan a party with a big group. Primrose was a great choice.

Came for dinner while on vacation. Beautiful restaurant, nice wine list. They give you the option to try some nicer bottles by the half glass or glass, granted very marked up prices but nice choices. The server was very friendly and patient. The steak tartar was delicious and a unique take on it. The French onion soup was also delicious. The steaks came with a nice demi glace, which I was hopeful would pack a little more punch of flavor, but they were still cooked well and tasty, also served with some deliciously charred broccoli. The corn and cheesy mashed potatoes were also very good and plenty to share. Overall, a delicious dinner and worth a visit.
We went for the social hour menu which is 4-6. Enjoyed oysters, steak tartare, lamb meatballs and the chips and dip. The chips and dip were extraordinary, try putting some of the steak tartare on them, you won't be disappointed . Wine was good, great scotch menu. What we thought was going to be a short little nosh turned into a great little feast. Jake our server was excellent.

Nice first visit to Primrose in Steamboat, but a few things could be improved. Glanced at their menu(s) online the night before, and they were accurate and up-to-date. (I once went to an out-of-the-way NYC restaurant because online indicated they served a certain dish that I wanted to try, only to discover when I arrived that the menu online hadn't been current for over 6 months! Therefore, part of my criteria since then was that your menu AND PRICING online has to be accurate or an automatic reduction of one star). Quinn was my delightful server. Calm and knowledgeable. I mostly ordered according to her suggestions so I must have missed it in the actual menu where they indicated they were going to force add a LWD surcharge to every bill. Their three letter acronym stood for Living Wage Disparity, I assume it was only for the kitchen staff, but I'm not sure because it's entirely up to the restaurant operators to determine how the funds are actually dispersed and in this case, were somewhat cryptic. I'm also not sure why spending $75 would only yield a $2 charge for the kitchen, with no way to increase the amount? Other local establishments allow you to write in a gratuity for the kitchen staff as well as a separate one for the serving staff. Would most diners actually leave less than $5 or not leave anything at all for the kitchen? I hope not, but I suppose this is a very small step toward a living wage in a resort town. Anyhow, I arrived for Social Hour Menu (4-6pm Daily, some nice different menu items plus you can still order from the Dinner Menu) but without a reservation. Their menus clearly indicate which items are gluten-free and there seemed to be quite many options for those looking to dine there. After some discussion with the hostess, I was seated at the Chef's Bar which was very nice for a single guest and I was the only one seated there so far; and it was right across from where the food prep was occurring, giving an introvert something to actually watch from time-to-time instead of pretending to be constantly glued to their phone. There was no acknowledgement from the nearby kitchen workers when seated, which was fine, but as they worked they discussed UTIs in some detail. While I personally didn't mind, it did seem odd to discuss this while they prepped so near to the public? First round, on a lark, tried a Lockhart Martini ($13, very strong for a rare martini drinker, but very smooth. I enjoyed the stuffed blue cheese olives) and the Local Lamb Meatballs ($18, 4 small but extremely flavorful. A little bit of a kick to them, but that didn't overwhelm overall. The sauce was described in a way that made me think it would be better. It wasn't bad by any means, just too subtle, in my opinion). At some point on of the worker's finally said hello and we briefly chatted as, I assume, Chef had just arrived. Chef also didn't acknowledge any of the now half a dozen guests seated at "his bar" but shouted over it toward a random table that a doctor was seated at that he knew. Chef never checked in with the closer diners while I was there. I'm okay with that, but a curious choice in hospitality. Closest to me was ongoing oyster prep, and I must say that the entire time I spent at Primrose, every food worker wore and constantly changed black nitrile gloves on any hand that touched food. Nice! There were about 6 guys prepping and one lady that night, with the opposite blend for serving staff. After ordering, I went to one of the large single restrooms. In the room was a large sink, a toilet, a urinal, a spectator's chair?, and a cool container of mouthwash with disposable shotglasses on the sink counter. Classy! When I returned, I discovered that Quinn had replaced my haggardly folded cloth napkin, with a fresh one. Very nice impression! 2nd Round arrived: Spiced Pear Martini ($16, Quinn tried to steer me to something else to accompany my entree, and she was 100% right! There was nothing wrong with this second martini, but it definitely would pair bette
We loved primrose! Had a fantastic meal with great wine and great service. We sat at the back bar. There was a fun atmosphere, delicious starters (beef tartare and primrose salad) and yummy entrees (scallops), plus a great dessert!! We'll be back!
