"Decent at best. That’s all really. It is very noisy- by design. Look up and you’ll see why. The ceiling is designed to carry the noise from the bar throughout the restaurant. And honestly I don’t care to listen to the bumpin music they’re playing at the bar when we’re at our booth 50+ feet away. It is also very dim. Extremely poor lighting, according to our waitress (who was very nice) this is also by design because other diners have made comment about this too and she said she’s mentioned it and the feedback she gets is “it creates the ambience.” Yeah okay…… “ambience.” The food is decent at best. Caesar salad was pretty good. But what is up with the streak being doused in butter? There was a pool of butter on my plate around my steak. Is the lighting dim in the kitchen too? Can the chefs not see what they’re doing? All in all, New York Prime is not any better than Morton’s or The Capital Grille. In fact, we probably should have gone to one of those two. There’s nothing New York about this restaurant at all. After returning home we decided to check out New York Prime’s website and read their menu story about how “New York Prime is a different kind of steakhouse.” If you ever want a laugh, read that. You’ll tear up, it’s hilarious. Proprietors seem very full of themselves! Anyway, we were very unimpressed, will definitely not be returning."

"We had the most amazing experience at this location of Bobby Van 's, which we view as 'the norm ' for all their restaurants we 've visited. We 've been to at least three locations, and as out of state visitors on short trips, this should illustrate howexcellent they are. You can count on superior, attentive service, with every detail in place. They will check to see where youare on your food pacing before they bring you the next course, without intrusively grabbing plates and 'cleaning ' as they go.Somehow, they do everything fluidly, and never put the burden on their diners for any aspect of the experience. (Examples: atother places, servers freak out when there isn 't a lot of room at the table; they start to make you the diner shuffle/consolidate food, especially if you are still working on the other portions of food which we do because I 'm a sloweater and we order a lot a la carte. The servers all of them are friendly, engaged, charming, and know when to come/go. Idetest constant check ins, and BV 's doesn 't do that at all. If I could give 10 stars, I would. We loved this restaurant so muchthat we went to another location the next night our last night and we had an amazing time there too! The food was allexcellent, high quality; the featured fish of the day was perfect and I loved the beet salad. We LOVED the daily soup,gazpacho, which was so fresh and tasty. So perfect! Thanks to Lin the server for his excellent service."
