It was our 39th Anniversary and Prime 88 was awesome! Food is unbeatable... Kevin our waiter was totally professional and one of the best waiters we've had in a long while.

I hate having to post this, but after spending close to $300 on my birthday dinner for two, I feel this feedback is important to share. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the steak temperature was cooked perfectly. This was our second visit, and overall the experience should have been great.
Unfortunately, my 16oz ribeye (Oscar style) was extremely disappointing. It lacked the tenderness and flavor you expect from a ribeye and honestly tasted more like a sirloin. I couldn’t eat it, and when my husband tried the leftovers the next day, he agreed and didn’t finish it either. The crab was also lacking for $15 & bc of the no dairy I paid for the hollandaise and couldn’t eat it, not their fault, just another thing to note for others in this situation.
One thing to note for future guests: when ordering a ribeye, the server may not always ask whether you want bone-in or boneless. On our first visit, they asked. This time, they did not. When the steak arrived, the server said, “I didn’t realize you wanted bone-in.” At that point, we had already been there over two hours and had an expensive babysitter waiting, so we let it go … though I wish I hadn’t.
All I wanted for my birthday was a great ribeye and a baked potato. As someone who can’t have gluten or dairy, I truly appreciated how accommodating the restaurant was, and my husband did a great job choosing the place. That said, the steak itself was a 2/10 — tough, chewy, and completely lacking the signature ribeye flavor.
The server was phenomenal, and we tipped 25%. This feedback is not about service at all it’s simply a reminder to clarify your order if the server doesn’t, especially when ordering a premium cut.

Manager doesn't seem to like me? JJ is a great bartender. Drinks are generous and food is great. You can't beat the upscale environment but something is off. There is no real warmth, greeting that is gracious or appreciation of your patronage.

Very good experience. Everything was made well, and the staff was great.
This was a party of 4 and all first timers, we all 4 were happy from the entrance, to the exit - everything between.
Kudos to the folks running this place, you nailed it. 🔥

Amazing food and service. Many at the table had the special, Elk Chops, and said they were fabulous. Those that had the steaks raved about the flavor. On top of the great food, our server, Michael, went out of his way to guide us with his expertise through the evening, and he was spot on. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love this place! Everything about it is above excellent. From the minute you walk in ‘til the minute you leave is excellence. Th food choices are amazing as well as their chocolate cake ❤️. Has definitely become our favorite restaurant.

Fantastic meal and service. Kate gave great wine reccomendations and very attentive during our entire experience. Started with the cajun butter chargrilled oyster then onto a wedge salad. Entrees were a 16oz ribeye and elk chops special, both exceeded expectations. Highly recommend giving this place a try. Definitely not the cheapest place aroind but we'll worth the cost if your looking for a great dinner out.
