About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
Dedicated to the expression of modern American cuisine, Prime: An American Kitchen & Bar is more than just a culinary adventure, it is a true experience. Guests can choose from an array of raw bar favorites, like blue point oysters, little neck clams, and lobster cocktail, along with Mizu Sushi, and steaks and chops like filet mignon and parmesan-crusted veal chop. For those with a sweet tooth, there are several dessert options, like New York style cheesecake, crème brûlée, and the crowd-favorite espresso martini – all served with complimentary water views, as both Prime locations are directly on the water with boat accessibility.

Sunday Brunch is offered weekly, with catering options also available.

Please note that reservations are recommended but walk-ins are always welcome...allowing you the time to explore our entire property with spectacular waterfront views.

    You cannot beat the ambiance and setting of Prime on a perfect Spring day for a special occasion! The live band was great. We had great service by Julia and Jesus. The cocktails from the bar were great, (a special thanks for the delicious paper planes) and the kitchen executed the special Mother's day menu perfectly. Thanks to Diego the manager for stopping by and saying hi. Prime is our go-to destination for us for special occasions. Keep up the great work!

    I had a party of 5. At $125 per head plus cocktails and wine, this was going to be a $1200 bill. Not cheap even for Mother's Day. I asked twice during the previous 2 days to be seated with a view. I have been to Prime many times and do understand that it is not easy to seat everyone with the view. BUT... it is possible to arrange it ahead of time if they want to. We were not!! What was annoying, is the attitude of the "greeting" staff. This was a busy day, but there was absolutely no welcome. The attitude was surly when I asked to be seated by the window, or with any type of view. Having travelled all over the world, used to dining out while also enjoying our own culinary delights at home there is one thing that I notice at restaurants with a long success story... the service and hospitality is excellent. No longer so at Prime Stamford. We have choice and Prime wont be ours any longer.

    Service was super slow. Mother’s Day price fix menu was outrageously expensive for the choices they were offering and they ran out of two of the three desert choices. A poor showing for a restaurant we typically love.
