Prime: An American Kitchen & Bar

A new favorite for fine dining in Stamford! We came to check out their gingerbread houses and enjoy a festive date night. Prime went above and beyond! Their wait staff was attentive and pleasant all evening, even cleaning the table between courses. My husband’s steak was cooked perfectly, and we were impressed to find they even had sushi on the menu! The mac and cheese was also a highlight. We couldn’t get over how decadent their hot chocolate was! This spot was such a treat, and we really want to come back in the daytime to enjoy the waterfront views.

What a beautiful experience. I tend to go to other restaurants in this area but we decided to splurge for our anniversary. The staff were very attentive. The food was excellent. We ordered the ceviche, filet mignon, New York strip, whipped potatoes, broccoli, jalapeño margarita and limoncello spritz. My only issue was I ordered my filet mignon medium and it was closer to medium well. My husband prefers medium well so he enjoyed his own New York strip and some of my filet. The location is gorgeous. We sat by the window and watched the boats coming and going. If you choose to eat here, just be aware that with excellent service, food and atmosphere comes a higher price.

Update: Did not accept gift card. Was extremely rude and nasty about it arguing that “I don’t know who lied to you” after we called and asked if we can use it. What a business killer over $25 when I’m already over paying double that for sushi. What a shame. ————————— Dined here on my birthday. First off, the staff is extremely great and friendly. The bartenders were nice and our server was very sweet. The manager came out and greeted us multiple times. The food does all the talking too. Arguably the best octopus we’ve ever had! Can’t go wrong with the beef Wellington or paella. We had such an excellent and positive experience, we’re surprised it’s not as popular.

I’m super grateful to Restaurant Prime in Stamford for accommodating such a large reservation—especially on such short notice. I was visiting town to celebrate my two cousins’ graduations and wanted to treat them somewhere nice. I couldn’t believe how much Stamford has changed! I loved seeing all the new restaurant options available—it’s definitely become a fun spot for dining out. We had originally planned to go to Sign of the Whale, but without a reservation, they couldn’t seat us. Luckily, we ended up at Prime—and it worked out perfectly. What started as a group of 10 quickly turned into 14, and the staff didn’t miss a beat. The service was fantastic, and brunch was absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks, and we had a beautiful time reminiscing and celebrating to

One of the most consistent restaurants. You always know what you will get is solid. All staff always are super happy and the view is amazing no matter what. A bit steep on the prices, you will always be a bit shocked when getting the bill and your drive through a rough neighborhood to get there. Other than that no complaints
