This was my first time dining at Prime. I really enjoyed my dining experience. The food and service were excellent!

Prime is a very good restaurant and everything we ordered tasted great. If you've ever been to a top-notch steakhouse, you'll recognize this isn't quite that, but don't let that deter you from visiting. My only disappointment was the service seemed a tad slow and inattentive to my party, considering the volume of diners. Yet still, I would certainly visit again.

Food tasted corporate- not a lot of wow flavor. Steak was cooked to perfection and so was the Bailey's creme brûlée. The rest felt like it was volume cooking.

Went to Prime before seeing Hell's Kitchen. Food and service were excellent. They even serve specialty drinks catered to the shows at the Aronoff! Can't beat the location for before going to the theater. Filet was perfection! Will definitely go back!

It was nice to have a reservation and be seated immediately, although our entire party had not yet arrived. Servers were very accommodating. It seemed as though there was only 1 person taking orders for beverages, so ordering drinks was a bit slow. My 2nd glass of wine arrived within minutes of us leaving, so it felt like I had to rush because we had somewhere else to go. Food was seasoned well, and was very tasty. That being said, for 1 appetizer, 1 meal, 1 salad, 2 glasses of wine and 1 mixed drink, the total was $145.00

Was just there and immediately was not impressed. Met by the host that was holding an infant with a infant bed close by. Very unprofessional. Taken to the table and the table was fine but in a room that feels like a garage. And it was cold there. Paper menus which seemed very cheap for a supposed upscale restaurant. Flatware very cheap also. I know this seems petty but it gets worse. Made our order and I ordered the New York medium well. My nephew ordered the same. Both came back with not only pink centers but actually cold. And they were very small. Sent them back and they both came back charred. My sister order the fila and it was tiny and I mean tiny, but cooked fine. The mashed potatoes tasted like instant, not fresh made. Our server would disappear not checking on us and I'm not sure he even spoke english. Anyway the service was bad, food was not great at all, and it was expensive. The only thing "prime" about it was the bill. I was not impressed nor was my family. We won't be back.

We were one of two tables sat in the entire restaurant during our time dining there. A reservation was not needed. The service was good, but the staff often over explained the menu (about a 7-8 speech). They brought out the wrong appetizer but quickly corrected it. It was fine, but there are much better steakhouses in the area.

We entered the nicely appointed contemporary restaurant at 6:30 on a Friday. It was about 20 % occupied as it was a slow Friday for Downtown Cincinnati events. It was very quiet with nice ambiance. We were greeted by our waiter, Mario who was very in tune with the the menu and drinks. A friend had mentioned the hot spicy crab dip, and it was good. Mario was very helpful in suggesting the "homemade " pasta dishes we were considering. The Short Rib with pappardelle pasta and the Seafood Carbonara with pappardelle pasta. Both entrees were exceptional, and the pasta, flavors and seasoning were perfect. From the great service of Mario and his assistant , the ambiance and delicious food, we will return. I'm sure the the sound level will increase on a busy night, but I'm confident that the service and food quality will remain. Fyi, the appetizer, the two entrees and two cocktails were under $160 prior to the tip. Well worth the experience imo.

Really great experience. Food was amazing and service was top notch. Would absolutely go back next time I'm in Cincy!!
impressive selection. However our two meals did not arrive at same time, and the outside of the steak was charred enough that the bitterness was apparent throughout the meal. The cut/quality was high, but somewhat wasted due to the char.

Had a Filet that was beautifully cooked.
Mario and Nicole made sure we had Rockstar service.
We did not have dessert, but it looked amazing.

During our visit to Cincinnati, we chose to dine at this particular restaurant. The service we received was impeccable, with the waiter demonstrating exceptional attentiveness, particularly regarding the wine selection. I ordered an 8 oz filet, which, upon arrival, was not prepared to my preference. However, the staff promptly addressed the issue, ensuring my order was corrected to my satisfaction. As a gesture of apology, they also provided some additional asparagus. Guests should anticipate spending between $60 and $100 per person, especially if ordering drinks and a full meal. Overall, I found the experience to be well worth the cost.
