“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Lunch Experience at Prime in Highlands! Our lunch at Primary in Highlands, NC, was simply outstanding. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the host and restaurant manager, which set the tone for a wonderful meal. We started with perfectly cooked Oysters Rockefeller, followed by a fresh and flavorful green salad. My husband had the chimichurri marinated chicken sandwich, which was the special of the day, while I opted for the 14-ounce New York strip. Although I couldn’t finish the entire steak, it was perfect for sharing, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. The service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere made for a lovely midday meal. We topped off the experience with a delicious slice of carrot cake, which was the perfect sweet ending. If you’re looking for an exceptional lunch in downtown Highlands, I highly recommend Primary for its fantastic food, atmosphere, and top-notch service“

“Finally tried the Tavern tonight and am already thinking about my next visit! The menu was eclectic and had a fantastic selection. We started with the Foccacia and it was perfectly baked and seasoned and came with a miso butter and something like an olive tapenade. Big enough to share with our neighbors:) I had the green curry with lemongrass chicken and it was rich and packed with all the goodness a curry should have. The hubby had the steak sandwich and the steak was tender and the toppings just made it so tasty. Dessert- if there’s creme brûlée i have to have it. Tonight’s special was a salted caramel and it was perfection. If you go, try the smoky and the bandit cocktail. The presentation was crazy and the taste…well…I limited myself to one..I could have drank these all night. Lol. 10/10 recommend!“

“We had an excellent dining experience, thanks to Casey’s outstanding service. He was incredibly attentive and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. For dinner, I enjoyed the pheasant, which was absolutely delicious, while my husband had the ribeye—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our son ordered the sirloin, but it wasn’t quite to our liking. Casey handled it with professionalism and care, ensuring it was promptly corrected. His warm and accommodating nature truly elevated our experience, making our evening both enjoyable and memorable.“

“Great food and service! The band was awesome too. Oh we loved the putting green.“
