  I came into prime last night with my wife. It was her birthday and we had a wonderful experience. Our server Trent was just out of this world with the most amazing service that we have experienced at a restaurant here in Minnesota. I have two allergies and he carefully made sure they were taken care of. I had the 12 ounce fillet. It was absolutely phenomenal. My wife had the Seabass she loved it. We had a chocolate lava cake as well. We will definitely be back to try more of the options there thank you so much to Trent for, the service and hospitality

  Hubby and I decided to go here for an impromptu date night and it did not disappoint! Our server Nicole was brand new but we never would’ve guessed with her great customer service! The oysters were fresh and so delicious, our steak was cooked to perfection and the salted caramel cheesecake was a perfect ending to our meal! We rated it a 10/10 for our date night spots and will be returning next month for my birthday ☺️

  We enjoyed our New Year's Eve dinner overall. Our food was good and server and hostess were nice. If your looking for a high class meal experience I would recommend skipping Prime for somewhere else. We left feeling like Prime is just a grossly over priced tavern. See below... Both cocktails ($16 & $20) had virtually no discernable alcohol. Very disappointing considering the price and Holiday night. Very high pricing of food would make you think you were downtown Minneapolis at Manny's or Pittsburgh Blue in Maple Grove. $72 8oz. Filet - no side included. Steak was very good though! Not really Prime's fault, but we had a 9PM reservation and the next table over (3' away) were 2 screaming kids crawling around the floor and under the table. Parents did nothing to stop them and let it go on for 1.5 hours. Not the vibe were were expecting paying over $200 for our meal (2 people). Typical Blaine, MN resident behavior...

  My 4th time in here. I’ve given it 3x too many chances. I’m not coming back. It’s just so overpriced for what you get. Food is bad in more ways than good. It’s just missing the mark due to how expensive it is, and the experience in return. Sorry guys!!!! We tried. You’ll see what I’m saying when you try it. I’ll be shocked if it makes it long term. Soup was horrible last time. Steak was bad one time. Then the sliders tasted rotten one time. I’m not like this. But it needs to be said.

  We decided to try out Prime rather than head downtown for a nice “fancy” annual dinner. We should have went downtown, it would have been better and cheaper. The space is clearly set up for “family style” seating, with a couple of two-tops squeezed into the walk aisles that barely accommodate their food trolly ala Manny’s. Otherwise you’re in large booths set for 6-8 or the bar. They advertise being certified to serve A5 Kobe, the pinnacle of steaks, which requires a level of skill and knowledge to properly prepare it beyond the simple procurement of said cut of beef. The image is a 6 oz portion of Kobe that I was served, with a very clear line of silver skin / connective tissue which simply should not be present in actual Kobe being properly prepared. This was, at best Wagyu, but likely regular old USDA prime fillet. Which, is a good cut of meat when priced correctly, but this is not a $45/oz cut of meat. The server had no real clue and quickly punted to the owner, I don’t really blame her though because this shouldn’t have left the kitchen under the moniker of “A5 Kobe.” (Which is what the menu states.) The server was kind and accommodating as best she could be, but over worked for a “hundred dollars a top” level restaurant, another management oversight, despite employing multiple teenage bussers to lighten the load. The owner did bring out a replacement cut of meat, which was at least 10 oz if not 12 oz, and comped a dessert. The replacement was done better, and for sure Wagyu, but was still improperly trimmed with some silver skin / connective tissue and didn’t rise to the level advertised. The dessert we selected was a restaurant staple, “Chocolate Lava Cake.” This was a comped dessert and we received 2x of the servings, likely to address the main course issue, and it was also not as advertised. We received two flourless chocolate tortes with no “lava” inside of them. There was a raspberry and chocolate drizzle on the plate, but “cake” and “lava” were nowhere to be found. TL;DR- If you go here, stick to the cheap staples like a pork chop. If you want something “high end,” go to a restaurant with an actual chef and not a place set up by an entrepreneur who watched “The Bear” that one time.
