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.

The food was pricey but good! You have to pay $7 for the bread basket, BUT it was delicious and freshly baked.

Had reservations for 7– work team dinner. Team traveled across several time zones for mtg. They were looking forward to the dinner. Food (main course) was served two hours after ordering (6:30 order taken with waiter saying “I’ll put everything in together so that it’s served timely” -main course service 8:45). Swordfish was overcooked. Steak was not prepared as asked—overdone. No explanation from manager/host (did not come by to ask). Waiter, not at fault, apologized. Sadly, an unenjoyable dinner.

My friend asked Gluten free bread/food but the waiter said “we don’t have Gluten free bread and I’ll ask chef about the foods”, but he never got back to us, so my friend gave up on it. When I reserve, even I didn’t ask them about it because nowadays most good restaurants are expected to have gluten free foods. I’m so disappointed that because such a great restaurant didn’t prepare enough.

Food and service were excellent. They offered a quieter space, and gave us a great table. Waiter overheard us discussing anniversary and brought a special dessert treat. Great spot, food and service!
