I've been here around four times this past year, most recently for dinner on NYE. It's a great spot for date night and for hosting friends. The servers are really welcoming and attentive, Sadie recognizes us and has stopped by to say hello even if we aren't one of her tables. The kitchen team is doing such a great job here. Food comes out hot and fresh, cooked perfectly. It is flavorful, generously portioned, reasonably priced, and very consistent. Their sweet plantain appetizer is fabulous - we get it every time lol. Finally, their happy hour is awesome: tasty rotating beers at generous discounts. There is so much good going on here!Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance and dining room are accessible. No stairs, and enough room to move around. There is a sequence of two doors. One leads to a small foyer and the other leads to the dining room. You'll likely need help with the doors as they are not automated.

I guess I have eaten at a Prime before but I didn’t remember but this time I’ll remember. I had a hamburger wrap with hat was very tasty with fries that were also very good. My daughter had a BLT which she enjoyed. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Both my daughter and I have food allergies and she was very helpful getting those right. The atmosphere is fine. Dark wood/bar on one side. Definitely go here again. Nice meal that didn’t cost a lot.

These burgers are some of the most expensive I've had but they are also some of the best that I've had. We got the Honey Truffle and the Marseille Burgers. The Marseille was actually a little bit sweeter but was well paired with gruyere and bacon jam. The Honey Truffle with the fried onion has just that little extra texture to make the honey flavor pop. The French fries were the perfect way to catch everything (grease, meat chunks and other toppings).

I used to visit this place regularly because I loved their blueberry toastie. Unfortunately, my recent experience was incredibly disappointing. The food was nowhere near as good as it used to be — it was almost inedible. The bread was soggy and tough, and the cheese and blueberries were so runny that the sandwich was basically filled with butter, leaving the bread empty. Even the cheese had hardened and wasn’t fresh anymore.I called someone over to address the issue, and a man came to listen to my concerns and offered to remake the sandwich. However, a woman then approached and, instead of offering a solution, asked me in a condescending manner what the problem was. She insisted that the sandwich was perfectly fine and well-made, implying that the issue was with my taste rather than the food itself. While the man apologized and said he would remake it, this woman kept coming back to argue, explaining the sandwich-making process and repeating that there was nothing wrong with it.It felt as though my complaint was completely ignored, and she blamed my taste instead of accepting that the sandwich was indeed off. She never even offered a simple apology. While my tastes may have changed, my wife also noticed the difference, and we both agreed that the sandwich was not as tasty as it used to be. The only thing we enjoyed were the sweet potato fries. Her rude and dismissive attitude, along with her arrogance, completely ruined my experience. I really hope no one else has to encounter such poor service. I hope this restaurant not only provides great food but also delivers mature and thoughtful service to its guests.
