Amazing food and service! Sophia took great care of us, she was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, we enjoyed the cheesesteak rolls and french onion soup to start, the prime rib and filet as entrees and the cowboy corn as a side. We really enjoyed every dish, look forward to going back!

Would visit again. The staff here are well dressed which helps with the atmosphere and are so friendly, including David, Diego and Sophie. Highly recommend the filet mignon which my server Sophie recommended and said was her favorite. It was tender and juicy, every bite was flavoured and temped to perfection. The chef came out and asked how my food was as well which was really awesome! While I couldn't eat another bite during my last visit, the key lime pie is my usual go to. Can't wait to visit again!Parking: There's a few spots on the street level, but the underground garage has plenty of spacesWheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible with an elevator from the garage

Celebrated anniversary ? with my wife here and it was wonderful. Waiters were very attentive, nice and superb. Food review: Spinach Artichoke was delicious. Wife loves the creamy flavor and smooth cheese blend. The best highlight of the menu was the “smokehouse prime rib” really big in size and delicious. So bold flavorful and not salty it was amazing and wife love prime rib. She said 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Double date night with friends. A bit of confusion with our reservation but wasn’t a big deal. Red roses for the ladies for post Valentine’s weekend was a nice touch. Our server Allison was great!!! She was enthusiastic and very helpful. We had an enjoyable evening out.

Second visit to American Prime and it once again didn't disappoint. Excellent food, outstanding service! Can not recommend the prime rib, filet mignon or ribeye strongly enough. Simply amazing!

We had eaten here before during the summer, so we sat outside. Unfortunately, this time we were seated inside. It is a very small room fairly crowded but what really was remarkable was the decor. The seat pads were in shambles, discolored, torn, and peeling, and it was hard to get past that for dinner. The steaks were good. We had the tomahawk the fillet, and the prime rib -very tasty. Unfortunately, the sides were horribly salted and covered with cheese. It was barely edible. There was very little corn with lots of cheese and spinach was puréed and extremely salty would not recommend any of the sides including the potatoes dish. Fortunately, there are a lot of steakhouses in the area, skip this one.

Bread would have been appreciated. Portion of sea bass was very small on the prix fix Vday menu. Should Have included some Vegetables or starch. Ended up with McDs fries after dinner.

The French onion soup, beet salad, crab bisque and dock confit were great, and the service was solid.I give it two stars because the restaurant had an overwhelming smell of cigar smoke. I get it, they also include a cigar bar, but this was awful. I may as well have been sitting in an ash tray; I couldn’t eat and leave fast enough!

Everything on the menu is a homerun. I try to get to American Prime once a month and introduce new people to the experience.

Prime rib and bread pudding / key lime pie saved the meal. Stay away from the scallops, crab risotto, and potato soup.

Expected a steakhouse experience, but unfortunately it was disappointing. No fresh bread, steak was requested medium and came out burnt on the outside and almost raw on the inside. On a positive note, the crab bisque was very good and the barramundi was good too.

My husband and I visited during Restaurant Week for our anniversary. The overall experience was fabulous! They greeted us with complementary glasses Prosecco, our servers were pleasant, and our food was delicious! We don't have any real complaints, but thought it helpful to mention that bread was not offered, so keep that in mind if you arrive hungry. My other personal note is with the portion size for the Pan-Seared Scallop entree. Three scallops just felt more like an appetizer. They were delicious, but my taste buds and tummy felt teased rather than satisfied. Maybe an additional scallop or two would have been nice
