We planned my sister's bachelorette brunch here and the staff was amazing. It was easy to book and order ahead and when we were running late, they were very accommodating. They were able to accommodate all our allergies and all 20+ girls all said they loved the food, the atmosphere and the drinks! Thank you again to Michelle for all your help.

Ben was our host for Brunch; it was my umpteenth visit, but my daughter's first. I ordered a meal though flavorful, had biscuits that were metallic and bitter. It was a surprise and I had my daughter taste a biscuit, mostly because I was so surprised the flavor was so off, she agreed....Ben asked me about the meal, and I told him my experience, even though I am very reluctant to waste food and return to the kitchen. In the end I enjoyed the flavorful gravy, perfect sausage and poached eggs, and left the biscuits. Ben was kind enough to comp me my entire cost of meal, $25.00. Our waiter also enquired about our meal experience and was genuinely concerned and offered to return my meal and replace, but I declined. I very much enjoy coming to PRIMO's and consider this meal, just an off day. My daughter, BTW enjoyed her latte and brunch item. Great, friendly service as always, and I cant wait until the weather allows outside seating!! It is the best Newburgh has to offer!! Bathsheba.

Tonight I took my mother out to dinner for her birthday. If Primo's can be described in three words - Explosion of Flavors. This is one of my Top 5 spots in Orange County by far. Every dish has an explosion of flavors and it is all combined so well! Every season they try to include new dishes to add new flavor and new drinks. I will be coming back! P.S Perfect place to go for birthday's, date nights, family gatherings, etc. 10/10

We had dinner here for the first time tonight. We were very impressed. The drinks were delicious (cosmo, old fashioned). They brought us crostinis with a mushroom ricotta whipped spread to start. We had the eggplant and burrata as an app which was fresh and delicious. We both got pasta (ravioli and the pork ragu). Both very flavorful and delicious. I had a liquid desert of the coconut caramel espresso martini. Decadent and sweet but delicious. Also shout out to the staff and our waiter. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful and we felt very welcomed. The ambience is beautiful. They did a great job designing the restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Working as a barback/backserver at Primo Waterfront in Newburgh, NY was an experience that tested both my physical endurance and patience. The role involved rigorous labor with little to no regard for safety standards. Despite the challenging nature of the job, the atmosphere within the workplace was marred by unprofessional management practices, high turnover rates, and disheartening employee morale.First and foremost, the management at Primo Waterfront demonstrated a lack of professionalism, which permeated throughout the workplace. This manifested in various ways, including a disregard for employee safety, failure to pay employees on time, and an overall lack of respect for the workforce. The business owner's apathy towards employee concerns only exacerbated the situation, creating a toxic work environment where employees felt undervalued and unsupported.One of the most concerning aspects of my time at Primo Waterfront was the inconsistency in payroll. Many employees, myself included, experienced delays in receiving our wages, causing financial strain and frustration. This issue was compounded by the management's dismissive attitude towards employee grievances, further eroding trust and morale within the team.Additionally, the high turnover rate at Primo Waterfront was indicative of deeper systemic issues within the organization. Veteran employees, who were respected by their peers and possessed valuable institutional knowledge, were unjustly terminated by new management without valid reasons. This not only destabilized the workforce but also contributed to a sense of insecurity and disillusionment among remaining staff members.Overall, my experience as a barback/backserver at Primo Waterfront was characterized by arduous labor, inadequate safety measures, unprofessional management, and low employee morale. While I gained valuable skills and experience in the hospitality industry, the detrimental work environment ultimately overshadowed any potential benefits. Primo Waterfront's management must prioritize the well-being and dignity of its employees to foster a culture of respect, accountability, and long-term success.

Delivery order was all freshly made and exceptional in quality. Portions are large and satisfying. I got the tagliatelle and added shrimp and it was excellent. Also got spaghetti and meatballs and I like the way they not only bake the meatballs but must sautee them as they had a nice crust and were huge and delicious. I will be ordering again.Vegetarian options: Pizza, pasta, salads.

Very unprofessional. They have no problem screwing people over and when you disagree with anything they post they call you a loser.I was “let go” in August because they didn’t want to pay my salary for the winter then come to find out less then ONE month after firing me, my assistant was promoted to my job. I am not the first person this has happened to. In my opinion that’s a disgustingly run company. There is also a high turnover rate which makes sense. I wouldn’t recommend this business to anyone. There are much better restaurants on the Newburgh waterfront with much better food options but actual professionals running them.
We had the salad w/squid ink, octopus, pasta with muscles and salmon… EVERYTHING was perfect! The place is beautifully maintained, open concept and very sophisticated. The waitress was attentive. We’ve visited many restaurants since moving upstate and this is one of the best. We plan on returning once the weather gets warmer to enjoy the outside seating.Parking: Plenty of parking- was able to find a spot directly across the street. Although is paid parking, it is not expensive. We were there from 6:40pm and paid until 10:00pm which was $6.00.
Drinks are great. Chefs are great. Hospitality is average. This is a really neat spot along the river. Newburghs waterfront is really starting to make its mark around the Hudson Valley with a bunch of great restaurants and sights.Parking: Really hard to find parking at the waterfront on any busy night. Very crowded. But be patient sit around for a minute.
The appetizers (Tuscan chicken & antipasti tray) were very good. The entrée was a different story. I had the Tomato Tagliettea was too salty, and the sauce was acidic. The burssell sprouts were burnt.

Good Italian restaurant that is on the expensive side.
Wonderful newest place for brunch on the Newburgh waterfront. Great atmosphere outside. Good views of the water and the bridge. Excellent food. Good drinks and desserts. The weather was great today so you could not ask for anything
