This is such a great restaurant. Love the atmosphere here and the beauty of the place itself. The food is great. The happy hour food menu however is minimal and seriously lacking options. Also, the service at the bar is often very slow unfortunately.

We had the best Valentines Day dinner this evening. The waiter was friendly and attentive without being too much. The food was a little pricey, but absolutely delicious. My boyfriend got the two meat platter with brisket and ribs loved it. My Ceasar salad was perfect. I realized that I forgot to order dressing on the side and mentioned to my boyfriend as the manager was walking by. He overheard it and immediately gave the kitchen a heads up before I actually said anything. 10/10, probably coming back next Valentines Day. Oh, and the chocolate mousse cake was to die for!

. A very beautiful environment to share with friends and family. I decided to go with my father and my son. We found it quite enjoyable. Definitely have to go back again. This is a place where I will personally try every single thing that they have on their menu. Worth

Place is nicely decorated, Taino style. The food was very good. The portions are big. I couldnt have a whole plate by myself. The BBQ eggrolls are delicious, highly recommend this one as an appetizer. Our server was super friendly and patient.

It is always fun to hang out at the bar at Taino Prime. Justine mixes the best cocktails. Try her specialty seasonal drinks. The one below is on the holiday specials! Amanda always has a smile and takes good care of the costumers. See you soon.

I popped in here one Saturday night for a quick drink and all I can say is wow!! It was so nice inside, the live music was great, and the service was great! Amanda was an amazing bartender very attentive, friendly, and helpful. The pumpkin martini she made me was out of this world! Thank you for an all around great experience!

Likely one of the best BBQ spots in CT. Quite a bit better than HDBs in Ridgefield in my opinion. Great service as well.

Very nice place. Inside they have seating area first and when you go further into the restaurant the bar are is so beautiful. I ordered a few things to try everything out. The mushroom truffle pasta was ok. The sauce was a little grainy however, over all decent. The Mac and cheese was not ranked high nor the BBQ. The brisket has a good smoke to it however, very dry. I probably would not go back. The service was quality, which is the only reason I give this place 4 stars. Others may like the food. It wasn't BAD but it wasn't the best I ever had. To each their own.
