Four of us went here for the first time for lunch. Quaint place, nice atmosphere, good lunch offerings. Two of us ordered the Wiggle Room Burger with onion rings, another ordered the Prime Cheesesteak and I ordered the Sliced Prime NY Sirloin from the the Lunch Prix Fixe menu with the chicken gnocchi soup, roasted garlic whipped potatoes and sauteed vegetables. All of us enjoyed our meals. My steak arrived medium rare as requested. Flavors were great and our server Gillian was on point. She was attentive and responsive to our requests. We finished with hot tea and Cappuccinos. We found the lunch menu prices to be reasonable for food which was flavorful and enjoyed by us. We had a great time and loved the atmosphere and although we don't live local, we plan on coming back.

People were pleasant. It is a wonderful spot to take someone out on a date or to get lunch.

The service is consistent and friendly. I enjoy the bar especially the lemon drop martinis. The lunch specials are huge.

We came in on a busy Saturday night and sat at the counter across from the bar. We waited 15 minutes for someone to even notice us before dropping off menus. We were never spoken to again and we gave up and left after another 15 minutes of being ignored. We’ve been here before many times and always had a great experience. Really disappointing.

Okay, don't come at me because I'm going to be realistic here.

Prime is subpar unless you're made of "old money" and don't care about the money you spend on an average meal.

Came here for lunch today with a friend visiting out of town. Hostess was incredibly cold, didn't care to be there really and she made that evident by her attitude. I felt looked down on as soon as we walked through the door. This is Guilford, not Greenwich folks.

Opened the menu and there was very little to choose from that didn't include an outrageous price.

We started with the pretzel appetizer. As it cooled down, the bread became tough as though it was stale and someone microwaved it to bring it back to life. The sauce it came with was flavorless, to say the least. Do not suggest.

We asked if they had lobster mac and cheese and the waitress said that was a lunch only option... what?

Asked if they had truffle fries... Nope.

Got the chicken sandwich for myself and my friend got two small crab cakes for lunch. The dish was plated beautifully but honestly, just average. It was all just average.

Two waters later, a chicken sandwich, a garbage pretzel, and two crab cakes -- $63.00 + $13.00 tip.

Just not worth it. This is my 2nd and last time eating here. I think it's okay to suit the menu in a certain way to get certain clientele but how disappointing is it that you don't have a variety?

Busy Saturday, Noisy and but warm atmosphere. Not the place for a quiet conversation when as busy. Food quality was excellent, portions slightly on small side, premium pricing. Steaks were an excellent cut. Even though food delivery was reasonable the steaks were served Luke warm.

Service was lacking. Pleasant, but slow to arrive at table, and much slower to deliver check. Needed to ask another server for check ( waited nearly 20 minutes after eating). Buss person asked to take plate, and also took unfinished sides my guest was eating.

From a one-time experience my overall take away is the place has a great kitchen, but is lacking in employee performance. At the price charged I might go back of bar food or appetizers but most likely not for a full dinner.

THE REAL DEAL. The service was good. Especially the guy at the door - host. The atmosphere is not good. The acoustics are terrible - way too loud and noisy. I had a NY Strip steak and it was good, however, it was $65.00 just for the meat. I've eaten at restaurants where the NY strip was $30.00 and nearly as good. (Daltons Restaurant.) Everything is al a cart. The appetizers were very good, but very pricey. Overall it's good, but plan on dropping at least $300 a couple with a couple drinks each.

Food is 5 🌟 phenomenal! Each time we go we are always very pleased! The only thing I don't like about this place is that the sound carries and it gets very loud even if there aren't a lot of people there. Certainly not a deterrent based on how great the food is!

Nice vibe inside, drinks are creative and good. Service is a average at best. I got the steak frites and my girlfriend got the steak tip tacos. My steak was rare on one end and well done on the other, also not at all worth $40. Her steak tacos were dry at best. Definitely a step down from what I've had there previously. There's 5 places with better steak within a mile radius.
