Prime: An American Kitchen & Bar

Went for a special occasion lunch and the view was quite lovely. We were seated by the window overlooking the boats that are docked in the marina. For starters I had the soup of the day which was a lobster chowder with potatoes (that had a subtle truffle flavor) topped with crème. It was perfect. As my main I got the Boston lobster roll, which was a great portion and pretty well stuffed with buttered lobster, and this came with the side of fries (wish I had taken a picture but I wanted to enjoy the lobster warm). The bisque and lobster roll was a great value for the power lunch and totally worth it. For dessert we had the s’more Sundae since it seemed to be the only dessert we’ve never tried before (split with my husband since we were pretty full with our lunch). It was good, but not WOW (the reason why the food didn’t get a perfect 5 stars). The service was great, the staff made helpful recommendations and were very attentive to making sure our glasses were full, food was to our expectations and that we were enjoying our dining experience. Would definitely be going back again for the lovely ambiance and the lobster.

Attended for a holiday party and they did not disappoint, food was amazing !! Some of the best sushi ive had . Antipasto board was gorgeous, prosciutto sliced fine & lovely brie !! Their lobster was a bit on the chewy side but over all everything else such as ; oysters , crab legs, meatballs, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, lamb, potato’s, mini sliders, much more were delicious. The waiters/waitresses were very attentive and provide great service. I would love to come back again 100%. Drinks tasted yummy too!

First time here. We got the 3course prefix menu and started with some rolls and truffle parmesab gnocchi. Rolls were very well balanced and the gnocchis were 10/10 I literally love it. As a second we got short rib w lobster salad and petite filet mignon. Overall we enjoyed the dinner and the view. Id recommend you to come before sunset👌

First time here and from when we walked in the door we were made feel welcome. The service was very good and well worth the tip at the end of the meal. The menu is reassuringly small, however there is still plenty of choice and something for everyone…even the most fickle
amongst us. They easily catered for intolerances and were very professional in doing so.

The restaurant is roomy and the table large so you can eat without bumping elbows or eaves dropping on the conversation beside you. The staff were always there but never obvious.

Really enjoyable experience and we will go back.

I love the Japanese A5 Wagyu black truffle lobster sushi roll. I like the foie gras and prefer it hot as the serving plate cools the foie gras making it less satisfying. I like the squash side and parmesan cheese side.
Beautiful view.

Two date nights here and I was impressed each time. The seafood risotto is delicious and the cocktails are perfectly balanced. Best service I’ve received in CT. My second visit was for my birthday and I received so so much special attention, even from the manager.

This Prime lives up to expectations and more. The waterside location offers nice views and the food was all very good. The staff were very friendly and accommodative.

Excellent food and service. Birthday celebration for our daughter. It's hard to find a place to make beef wellington so I was excited to see it on the menu. And it did not disappoint. It was fun to see the boats coming and going. Place was packed when we left. Definitely have to get reservations.

If you're looking for an inexpensive meal, this is not the place.

Having said that, the experience was absolutely stellar. The wait staff was top notch. They were attentive without hovering and complimentary without being obsequious. In a word, professional.

The food was extraordinary. We had the Wagyu Ribeye and the Paella. Both were excellently prepared.

If you want to impress someone special with an amazing experience, I can recommend Prime with no hesitation.

Fabulous restaurant for great steak and sushi. Multiple starters and entrees ordered, with no disappointments. Beef wellington high recommend!

Great food and amazing service! Went there today for a work lunch and the service was excellent. The waitstaff went above and beyond to make sure everyone at our table left happy (not to mention full). Would definitely recommend!

Great restaurant for any occasion. It has a beautiful view of the marina. Staff, food and drinks were amazing. We came here for brunch and our server was José. He was extremely helpful and kind. The manager also gave our 2 birthday ladies a gift card which was really nice.

We will definitely recommend to friends and family, and of course we’ll be back.

Thank you Prime staff. You were great!

The food was amazing. The service was even better. Marco was exceptional and made sure our table was well cared for all evening. Diego gave us a great table location and even was able to accommodate us when we arrived much earlier than our reservation. I would recommend this location for sure!

Had a great Sunday brunch here' The food and atmosphere were excellent. Hutch waited on us and it was perfect service - 10/10. Would definitely recommend, we will be back!!

First time and a wonderful experience, hubby's birthday! The crab legs and branzino were both wonderful. The entire staff was on point.
And the view was great!

The rating is given based on the one-time experience I had. Overall a nice ambiance with an excellent view, worth going.
The food is something to die for. The flavors are well balanced, the taste is amazing.

Great food and service every time! The location is right on the water so the view is always wonderful and the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is beautiful! The gnocchi, caesar salad and creamed corn are all amazing and a must try!

Went here for my girlfriends birthday, from the moment we walked in it was a phenomenal experience. Looking at the experience as a whole the decor, drinks, apps, dinner and dessert everything was exquisitely exceptional, it may be pricey but worth every penny. Get the beef Wellington and for after take the boat taxi across the pond for a nice stroll.

starting with Jimmy the Operations Manager and the ENTIRE STAFF and the quality of food simply OUTSTANDING! They made are wedding anniversary amazing! Loved the entire experience! 100% recommend it! It’s a must if you come to Stamford, CT! 10 out of 10.🥰🫶🏻❤
