    We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Prime Rib at the Garden. The service was good. The manager came by and checked in on us and our server was wonderful. It was a tad bit on the noisy side at first due to an event that was taking place, but overall I would recommend Prime Rib at the Garden if you like prime rib.

    The garden has a great atmosphere and ambience. It has old-school vibes and feels like a piece of history. The primary was excellent and I enjoyed my cocktail. I would highly recommend this place.

    The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a birthday dinner and we were treated like royalty. We had a complimentary appetizer and dessert and we totally enjoyed the evening. The food was very good but the prime rib was a little stringy though tasty. However, this is one of our favorite places and we will go back!

    The place and ambience is outstanding. But very disappointed with the wine I ordered is not on the list. I ordered ROTH but I was served GROTH which is almost $100 a bottle and half price of the ROTH which is $62.The appetizer and salad were good but I gave one star because whoever is the chef that cooked the Prime Rib, I mean the seasoning is okay but was cooked in the oven at 325 degrees. I have been cooking Prime Rib all my life and I have never cooked it in this temperature. It should have been slow cooked at 200 degrees and you’ll achieve an outstanding taste, texture and flavor close to the House of Prime Rib.

    Hi James, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambiance and starters, but we sincerely apologize for the wine mix-up and that the Prime Rib was not to the best standard. Your comments about the cooking method have been shared with our chef, and we’ll review our process. We appreciate your insight and hope to have the chance to serve you a better experience next time. Regards, Prime Rib at the Garden Team

    Although I read good reviews, I was misled. You can only have your prime rib cooked medium rare and wasn't pleased with the sides that they served. Ordered a very expensive bottle of wine. Had to refill our glasses ourselves so the service wasn't spot on. It seemed like they only had one waitress working on seven to eight tables! I won't be going back!

    Hi Dan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. While our prime rib is traditionally served medium rare to preserve quality and flavor, we understand preferences vary and are always happy to accommodate. We also apologize for the service lapse and understaffing you experienced — we will take this up with management. Your comments will also be shared with our team so we can make the necessary improvements. We hope you might consider giving us another try in the future.
