Primo Prime

Birthday dinner for my parents 76th birthday. The New York strip, bread, bean dip and wine were delicious. The Dover sole was very good. We never received the gnocchi appetizer that was ordered, and hopefully was not on my bill… the waiter was very friendly and helpful with what to order. The coffee was way too bitter (they took that off the bill, after I said something) and the crème brûlée cheesecake was not good and didn’t have a hard crème brûlée crust.. The sorbets were good but served in the mango and lemon shells. I expected more creative, delicious and high end desserts. Last but not least, I called to make a reservation the day before and was told they only had 5:30 or 6:45. I had to leave work early to get there from Lake Norman by the 5:30 reservation only to find out the restaurant was not even 1/8 full, even when we left… and yet we were seated at a table near the door and bar instead of a comfortable booth in a nicer location. Overall disappointed.

A nice quiet and classy restaurant. The menu selection were perfect because they provided a variety of options but it wasn’t overwhelming. Everything my friends and I ordered was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The service here was great as well. Our server consistently helped us before we even asked. The prices are also very reasonable when comparing to other steakhouses/Italian restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend choosing Primo Prime for your next date night, birthday, or other special occasion.

We went here on a date night. The service and food is amazing. The staff were very friendly. The black eyed peas they give as complimentary was just too good (I prefer soft bread though). The waiter was very accommodating and helped with customizing to our tastes. Roasted chicken was juicy and tender. We will visit again....

I went for restaurant week and got the potato leek soup, the lamb shank and the cheesecake. The leek soup had plenty of delicious crab meat in it. Otherwise I think I would've been happier w the beef carpaccio the server recommendation. The lamb shank took forever but was well worth the wait. It was bigger than a turkey leg and came on a bed of cheesy parmesan risotto. The lamb was delicious the red wine reduction was so delicious I couldn't get enough of it. The risotto was amazing! Totally hit the spot and paired perfectly w the lamb and the juices. The cheesecake wasn't over the top but definitely didn't disappoint. Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was very cozy.
