We finally got in to Primal by Mia and it lived up to the hype! One of our favorite meals of all time. The service, views, and food were exceptional. The shrimp cocktail consisted of 6 collasal shrimp that were fresh and delicious. We split the porterhouse steak for two. It was one on the best steaks we have ever had. The Yukon side potatoes are to die for. The mushrooms and onions were in a delicious butter sauce. Even the mixed vegetables were excellent. They added a complimentary delicious dessert as well. We left very happy and full. It was a perfect evening. We will definitely be returning.

UPDATE: We did a "Notify Me" on Resy for Primal by Mia since we could find no reservations. As luck would have it, we were notified for tonight at 6:45PM. So we went straight from "Weapons" to Primal. What a great experience! The restaurant is pretty new and looks and feels great. Service by Riley was very good. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about flavors and combinations. At times service was slightly slow, but this was because she had responsibility for too many tables. I had the tartare, the surf & turf special, and complimentary salad and dessert. Gosh, so good. We started with some warm cheesy, garlic rolls. Yummy! The tartare had some good spice, was well prepared, and came with some buttery sweet crunch. The filet was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and came with a great

Food was excellent. The appetizer tartar is not to be skipped. Our party of four all enjoyed their respective main courses. The Yukon side was also amazing. Our table had an beach/ocean view. Bread service, salad and dessert are all included with your entree. Our trip to primal was definitely a luxury.

Came to Primal for dinner during a July weeklong vacation with friends. Happy to report the meal, the location, the ambiance, all lead to a fantastic spot to check out. The entire staff was extremely kind & helpful, food was delicious.

Made a reservation online 10 days in advance for an ocean view seat for my boyfriend & I to celebrate our anniversary. We were sat immediately when we arrived. Our server Anna was great. We ordered the lobster ravioli which was delicious and the tartare which was extremely fresh and very tasty. Salad was yummy and refreshing… bread good too! For our meal, we shared the tomahawk steak with 2 lobster tails. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and the lobster tail was ready to eat. We chose the garlic peppercorn and horseradish cream sauces (Anna’s recommendation) and both were delicious but steak was still 10/10 without! Truffle yukon and mushrooms w/ onions knocked it out of the park as well. Complimentary dessert tied it all together. Originally, I was a bit nervous by some poor r
