I was here in town on business and by far the BEST restaurant in town! Not only was the bartender Nicole absolutely amazing (listen to her recommendations you won’t regret it!) but easily the top 3 best filet I’ve ever had (and I travel all over the country) My only suggestion for the owner is you have to do better marketing bc if it wasn’t for the front desk person at my hotel I wouldn’t have never found this place bc you guys weren’t anywhere near the front page on google when I looked up nearby and best restaurants and you were only 1.5 miles from my hotel! Quick suggestion drop off some cards with the front desk people at the nearby hotels (with maybe some kickback incentives) and you’ll triple your weekday business! The only restaurant that cards up there was roadhouse… no disrespect to roadhouse but people want to try non corporate chains when they travel to different areas. Other than that amazing job on creating a very classy, upscale environment with some of the best food I’ve had especially the bread pudding dessert (maybe rename it to something like mind blower) bc if it wasn’t for Nicole I would’ve never thought to order it. Keep up the great work!!

I wish I could say I enjoyed OCP. BUT. I don’t get to. I made a reservation for 2 for dinner and when we got there the hostess said it would be an hour even with the reservation. So they ruined my anniversary dinner. SO THANK YOU FOR LITERALLY NOTHING.

My husband and I had heard many wonderful things about this place so for a late Valentine’s dinner we decided to try it out.. We did have a reservation for 8 but we still did have to wait some time before being sat which would be why I was kinda annoyed/ probably more hungry to begin with. But it was ALL made up & worth the wait once you’re seated. The entire staff including the kitchen staff were very very polite. I didn’t catch my servers name but she was amazing along with everybody else who checked on us! To the guy who made our salad at our table (that was the most amazing salad I’ve ever had) the manger even stopping by the table to ask how everything Was. All around amazing. & not to mention it was literally the best food I’ve ever tasted! I’ve never been so satisfied after leaving a restaurant. Definitely worth trying!!!

We had reservations at 7 before the Shadow of Doubt show in the Upper Lounge. We arrive about 45 minutes early prepared to wait a while for a table. This place was absolutely slam packed. Chris, I believe, was the Maitre D. He was excellent to deal with; Extremely friendly and funny.Jessica was our server, one of 4 people that assisted our table. She went above any beyond to make sure she checked in regularly and take care of anything we needed. Every staff member we saw was doing an amazing job and they were all welcoming and enthusiastic!As for the food, we had everything from "The Godfather", appetizers, prime rib, and veal. Everything was delicious. The higher price is worth it when you see what you get. It was an excellent choice to spend our evening. Can't wait to coke back again!!!

My husband and I came on recommendation from a friend. Beautiful restaurant and wonderful food. The steak was perfectly cooked as were the sides. Our waitress was so attentive and helpful and the service overall was perfect. The only negative was what we observed from what seemed to be one of the managers. He was so rude to the waiters and servers, even snapping his fingers at one waiter who was doing 3 jobs of cleaning tables, delivering food and singing happy birthays to different tables. The servers and waitstaff were nothing but responsive, helpful and top notch and I couldn't imagine doing such great work then being snapped at like a dog. He needs to do better and appreciate the employees he has.

Old city prime with that old school gangster flare, it's like you've walked into a movie set. The service is impeccable, and oh my Scott will serenade your occasion with one of the purest voices I've heard in a long time.WAIT.. The food is an upscale steak restaurant. I had the king prime rib (Please have them sear it before the bring to table and what a joy) a perfect medium prime rib with auju ..my my my.One extra note old city prime has live performances you can attend in their separate upstairs venue. I recommend making an evening out of it eat first then go upstairs to enjoy the concert.We enjoyed the Urban Jazz Coalition with their mix of smooth jazz, R&B, and Funk. The band was awesome.

Servers and bartender are great. The poor female bartender needs someone else behind the bar with her other than the older guy that obviously hates his job and refuses to do anything in regards to customer service other than the bare minimum of preparing server drink tickets and delivering snarky remarks. We waited an hour and 40 minutes for our meal to arrive when we were the 4th couple to arrive to the restaurant. We watched people who arrived 20 minutes after us finish their main course before we even received our meal. It’s absolutely absurd when youre spending $200+ for dinner, and even then it comes out lukewarm at best. The food is good. The communication and efficiency between staff is something I’d expect at an Outback Steakhouse.
