My wife and I were disappointed with our experience at Prim + Proper. We ordered from the Valentine’s Day menu, hoping to enjoy the themed selections for the weekend. While the offerings sounded great on paper, the execution fell short of expectations. We were there for about 50 minutes in total. After placing our drink orders and selecting the four-course meal ($75 per person), it took approximately 25 minutes for our drinks, appetizers, salads, and entrées to arrive—all at the same time. This completely disrupted the dining experience. If the restaurant requires guests to request a traditional course-by-course service, that should be communicated upfront. Additionally, our table lacked sufficient space, forcing us to combine with another. The food itself was underwhelming. The salmon pasta was far from creamy, with a watery consistency, and the salmon was tough rather than tender. My wife’s snapper was mediocre at best, with side dishes that did not complement the entrée. For a prix-fixe menu designed around a special occasion, the execution should be flawless. Courses should be served in proper sequence, dishes should arrive fresh and hot, and the overall experience should reflect the elevated price point. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet those standards.

The restaurant was nice, didn’t expect a Valentine’s Day set menu the day after Valentine’s Day. We almost left but just made due. The waiter was very rude, moved too fast and rubbed everyone at the table the wrong way to the point that we didn’t even want the dessert. We were just ready to go. Overall ambiance and food were good but the service will make me not return.

Had a 8:15 reservation but did not get seated until 8:45. It was Valentine’s Day so I assumed I would not get seated in a timely manner but the hostess came up to me multiple times asking if I had a reservation when I had already checked in and told her my reservation was at 8:15. By the time we did get seated we felt cramped because the people on both sides of us were basically on top of us. Food was great but did not realize we had to do a 4 course meal which was $75 per person and could not opt out of it. Severely understaffed and would not be going back.

Took my wife for Valentine’s Day and was very disappointed… they didn’t tell me that they had a pre-set menu when I booked my reservation,so I wasn’t very pleased with the food options,the music was loud like in a club no dress attire.I always try to give a establishment a befit of the doubt, but first impressions are always key we will not be returning to this establishment

It was the worse Valentine’s menu. First we had a limited menu and drinks to choose from where nothing tasted good, the drinks were extremely weak. It wasn’t a good experience

This was the second time that wifey and I decided to visit "Proper Cuisine" (under another name before). Let's start out with the positive--The gentleman who was working that night, was the BEST! He was able to wait tables for an entire restaurant by himself. He attitude was always pleasant and upbeat regardless of the staffing issues. For that, I way Kudos to him. Now the rest...both my wife and I order fish dishes. We were not pleased with either fish dish as they both was too salty and not as tasty as before. We understand that there were some items taken and added to menu when the name was changed. Also, I ordered mac and cheese; however, it was very salty as well. I gave this place 4 stars before.....I really like this place, and I hope that it can get things going a little better with staffing, etc. Again, the service was great, however, the food is what wins me over the most.

The restaurant is beautiful. The food delicious. The service is friendly and attentive but a little uneven. That didn’t ruin our experience The tile floors while lovely don’t dampen the noise. There were several large parties celebrating It was a little loud but the vibe of the room is friendly and communal so we didn’t mind. A great addition to downtown and convenient to theater recommend everyone give it a try. We will be going back.
