We have always had amazing service and the food has never disappointed. I love the seafood tower when available.
Had an amazing meal with wonderful views and service. The best!
First time at Prime Boji. We made reservations for a Wednesday date night. Arrived during our appointed time and was seated right away. Our waiter, Jeff was very friendly and was attentive through the whole evening. We had cocktails and ordered a shrimp cocktail appetizer which was prepared well and had a very nice cocktail sauce. One of our main meals were the Seared Ahi Tuna Steak served on a bed of Forbidden Rice with 2 spears of Asparagus. The Tuna steak also had a glaze sauce drizzled over it. The other main was Skuna Salmon. I asked if the salmon could be grilled blackened. The Salmon was served on a bed of Bok Choy and Forbidden Rice. The Salmon appeared to be grilled and if it was blackened, it was the smallest amount of spice I have ever had in 40 years of asking for blackened. The same glaze used on the tuna was also drizzled on the salmon. I am not a fan of glazing on blackened salmon. I thought it was very usual. We did try dessert. We had a slice of Key Lime pie. It was a generous slice, easy to share between two. All in all the meal was okay. The service was excellent. The wait times for food were not long.

We stumbled here because where we had intended to go wasn’t taking walkin’s for at least a few hours…so glad they weren’t. Because this place was AMAZING!! The food was to die for!! Our server Justin was fantastic! He checked on us exactly when he needed to. Best service ever! The service and food was the absolute best we have ever experienced!

Ate here for our first night in Okoboji and were able to make a reservation to enjoy the view of the lake and sunset. It was a nice restaurant and a break from the heat and crowds. Focaccia bread, salad, chicken and wine were all delicious.
Start with the negatives as there were so few. It took quite awhile to get severed but our waiter made it right and kept us informed of the situation. Nikko if spelled correct was awesome and was very intentive to our needs at the table. As it it got later the atmosphere was a bit loud but alcohol and fun was being had by a younger crowd. The meal was amazing seafood crab salad, bread crumb shrimp, Ceaser salad, and the venison steaks 9 to 10 rating especially the venison and the amazing glaze it was served with. Would definitely go back.
Incredible restaurant with incredible views! Everything is always delicous! Prices are very competitive to other restaurants of the same caliber.
The salmon I had was fabulous, Dad had the tuna steak and he's still raving about it a week later.
But the focaccia bread... That is not focaccia lol a tasty bread, yes, but not focaccia
We had dinner on the Fall opening night of the 2025 season, and it was an excellent experience from the time we were greeted at the door. I ordered a Manhattan from the full bar that hit the spot. Then dined on French Onion Soup that came with toasted focaccia bread that was perfect, then an excellent flavorful Roasted Chicken with tasty mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, and just the right amount of a light gravey. After dinner, we stayed to enjoy the beautiful evening view of the lake while enjoying an excellent Malbec. Throughout the experience we had excellent service that included Justin, I think, was the waiter's name, and Juliana, their Chef, came out while I was having the French Onion Soup. I told her it was one of the best recipes I've tasted. We will definitely go back again!
We popped in for an impromptu dinner and Julia and Justin were so friendly and welcoming, even though they were short staffed. We ate every bite of our salad and our steak dinner. What a wonderful view and atmosphere. Prime location and view of the lake can not be beat.

Freezing cold! Rude & Crabby waiter. Extremely overpriced. Undercooked.
Advertised as upscale….. really NOT.
Had reservations for 10. Called ahead several days and was told they would be ready no problem.
Waiter seated us immediately said he want divide our tickets. That was our welcome to this restaurant and several times said they were understaffed.
Told us as we ordered about all the items that were not available; which were main things people wanted.
So cold I had to go to my car and put on several layers and was still freezing cold .
Was not asked how we wanted our meat prepared and my burger was bloody red inside. No seasoning on my carrots. Just plain, boring food without much taste.
Arrived at 6:20 and did not eat until almost 2 hours later.
Will not return or recommend.
Pricing was outrageous.

Over fifty bucks for a NY Strip that was not a NYStrip. Certainly not prime or choice. It was tough, fatty and full of gristle. More like a bad ribeye than a prime or choice NY Strip. Everyone else had a great meal but the steak was not anywhere close to being good. You want a good steak? Go to Yesterday about a block away. Had an excellent NY Strip there the night before. Oh. And a Jim beam for nine bucks and an extra three dollars for rocks. What a rip off.

The king crab legs are the price of a whole other meal and shouldn’t be considered an add on to a meal next to adding mushrooms to a steak. $50 steak plus $60 dollar crab legs. It was ungodly loud and our waiter didn’t speak loud and clear enough. The steak was overcooked. It was our anniversary and our bill ended up being $200 and we are not wealthy people so the food and service we received for our anniversary was very disappointing and we would honestly say if you eat here and even if it’s loud. tell them how you really feel about the meal that you’re given. Speak up because we wish we would have.
