CW Prime at The St. Regis Longboat Key was one of the finest dining experiences I've had in a long time. Every aspect of the evening exceeded expectations, from the food to the service to the wine program. Our server, Wanda, was truly exceptional. One member of our party has a severe nut allergy, and Wanda went above and beyond to ensure every dish was safe. She carefully checked ingredients, proactively communicated with the kitchen, and even suggested serving one dish with the sauce on the side to eliminate any concern. It never felt like an inconvenience to her. Instead, it was clear she genuinely cared that we had a wonderful, worry-free evening. She also took the time to get to know us, made thoughtful recommendations throughout the meal, and created such a warm, personal experience. The food was outstanding. The porterhouse special was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, beautifully dry-aged, incredibly tender, and packed with rich beef flavor. We also ordered the Black Hawk Ribeye (not the Prime Ribeye), and it was phenomenal. It had exceptional flavor while remaining surprisingly lean for a ribeye, proving you don't need excessive fat to create an unforgettable steak. The wine service was equally impressive. Jasmine, the sommelier, took the time to learn our preferences and our budget before making a recommendation that paired perfectly with dinner. Later in the evening, she returned simply to share another wine from a different region with a similar profile because she thought we'd enjoy learning about it. That level of passion, knowledge, and personal attention is rare and made the experience even more memorable. Dessert was the perfect ending. We tried every dessert and each one was outstanding. The Basque cheesecake was creamy and beautifully balanced, easily among the best I've had. The Keys Coconut dessert was light, refreshing, and absolutely delightful. The Smoked S'Mores was not only delicious but playful, bringing back childhood memories while delivering sophisticated flavors. And the CW Prime Apple Pie was simply incredible, warm, comforting, and the perfect finish to an unforgettable meal. From the impeccable hospitality to the extraordinary food and wine, CW Prime delivers the kind of dining experience that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even left the table. We cannot wait to return. read more

Beautiful restaurant with an impressive build-out and upscale atmosphere, but unfortunately the experience does not match the premium prices. My wife is vegetarian and the manager did come out to help accommodate her, which we appreciated. Several appetizers were extremely salty. The beans had to be sent back, and both the tartare and sautéed mushrooms were also heavily salted. I ordered the Black Hawk ribeye and asked for medium rare plus to allow the fat to render. It arrived well done, very thin, and not tender. The quality and thickness were disappointing for a steakhouse at this price level. A friend ordered Pittsburgh rare and his steak also appeared overcooked inside. There were a few highlights. The house bread was excellent with a light buttery texture somewhere between a croissant and a traditional roll. The A5 Wagyu was outstanding. The cocktails were solid and the smoky Old Fashioned was excellent. Dessert was a smoked s'mores that unfortunately had a noticeable butane flavor from the torching process. Given the very high prices, I would expect much better execution. After four visits, three have been disappointing, so I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

We ate at CW Prime while staying at the St Regis hotel. We had a wedge salad, filet with the sweet potato dish (as a side) as well as creamed corn, followed by cheesecake and apple pie. Adam was our server, and the service and ambiance was outstanding! Drinks were good and the food was fresh and tasty! Steals were a bit undercooked but still good. The sweet potato and creamed corn were good as well as the deserts. read more

We went to celebrate our anniversary. The view is stunning. We had a drink Oshen bar before we went to the restaurant. The beach was beautiful to see beginning of sunset. All of the food at CW Prime Was very good, service was great and it was a fun experience read more

Highly recommend making reservations in advance. We called a month prior and had 8pm seating. We waited in the bar area for a few minutes before table was ready. I really enjoyed the atmosphere in there. It was very small space though. The dining room was Mid-century modern decor. Our waiter, Justin, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had good recommendations. My husband and I split the Waygu Denver steak and Maine lobster. It was so flavorful! Highly recommend. We finished the night with the josper apple pie. Oh my! Just make sure to come hungry. read more

It was hard for us to get a last minute reservation but we made it in. Was so worth it. The food was exceptionally good. But the service was even better! I wasn't even hungry but I cleaned up my spaghetti with truffles, side of lobster tails of course, with no problem. Hubby had a dry aged cowboy which was perfectly cooked. The martini was excellent. And our server Maxwell was so sweet and friendly. Great personality. My family and I will put this in our "must come back" list when we are in the area. !!!! read more

So disappointed in my experience - I've dined here before but the service and attention to detail and accountability has gone downhill over the last two years. Food was fine, probably not worth the money but decent. Reservations at 7:15, drinks/wine were good, and then Ordered food at 7:45, salads and entrees - party of 10. I understand it might be longer than a small group but it took 1.15 hours to get salads and 2 hours to get entrees and when we approached our server and mngt it was met with a passive apology but no accountability only small excuses (the gave us two/three extra sizes to say sorry... tha we didn't need or eat). I would absolutely not suggest going here especially with a group of 6+. read more

We have never received such incredible service before at a restaurant. From the time we walked in to when we walked out, we were treated like royalty. Maxwell, the general managers, and the food runners were the BEST! The food was truly one of the best meals. Definitely get one of the steaks! The general manager gave us a rundown of the meat quality, where they get it from, etc. Truly an amazing experience. read more

Our first visit to this newly opened restaurant in the St Regis. Parking is valet only , $10 if validated. Credit card only. Easy peasy and staff made a great first impression. The resort is absolutely amazing, and shows what 14 years and $800 million can do. This is one of three signature restaurants in the property. The restaurant is smallish, with only 26 tables and limited bar seating. Plan and reserve ahead. The interior is beautiful and the view is spectacular. We stopped for a drink (one delicious cocktail and a glass of rose) at the bar, then headed to our table. Our friend is the sommelier here and he served as our guide and anchor. We tasted through several appetizers (all were delicious, with the lobster "doughnuts" and empanadas as standouts. The dry-aged cowgirl ribeye was perfectly cooked and the side of potatoes a perfect accompaniment. Dessert was visually amazing and it was super yummy as well. We loved our dinner and the experience. Prices are on the high end (to be expected at a beachfront resort with room rates starting at $1,100/night). Corkage is $35. Next up are the Italian and Asian fusion restaurants! read more

This is by far a great night out with friends or date night! The food was amazing, the service was amazing and attentive! Our waiter was super helpful when we were figuring out what we wanted! I got the filet, Aperol spritz, read more

Way overpriced! Our Entree was one price, and any side dishes, ie. (Veg or Potato, etc) was priced separately. If you want to spend upwards of $400, with drinks and dessert, you'll want to go here. But don't expect to get validation for parking, it's still going to cost you $10 for valet. read more

I've dined at CW Prime every evening during my stay at The St. Regis. While the food and setting are excellent, my experience tonight was disappointing and inconsistent with the level of hospitality expected at this caliber of property. When I arrived at 5:50 PM, I was informed before being seated that the bar seat I chose had a 7:30 PM reservation. I was told it would not be an issue to dine beforehand. However, at 7:04 PM--while I was still eating--the bartender began repeatedly reminding me that the reservation had arrived and that I would need to leave shortly. By 7:14 PM, I was told to vacate the seat because the party was waiting. As a physician in New Orleans and a frequent restaurant guest at high-end establishments, this fell far below the level of professionalism and grace I've come to expect in fine dining environments. Being interrupted and pressured mid-meal, despite full transparency about timing, felt dismissive and out of place for a St. Regis property. CW Prime has great potential with its cuisine and ambiance, but the service approach this evening lacked the refinement and attentiveness that distinguish true luxury hospitality. read more

Chef Drew is amazing! All of the food was delicious from the beef tartare to the Wagyu ribeye and special sides. They use unbleached flour for their croissant bread to start and even use a local French flour burger bun from Bread Bandits. The service and atmosphere were very nice as well. read more

If there are little kids in the restaurant. Please learn to serve them first. They have not patience for waiting thru a four hour long meal. When a huge party is in attendance please don't serve the people in the restaurant first and the huge party last. The party people are not homeless and can afford the meal. read more

Food is great along with service and ambience. My criticism is that the main dishes come with absolutely no sides. You have to pay extra for anything to come with it. Boy does that beautiful steak look lonely on the plate sitting by itself. Come on, how much would a few string beans and maybe a few boiled potatoes cost? When you're paying this kind of money, disgraceful that absolutely nothing comes with your main dish! read more

A superior dinner with exceptional service. Impressive from start to finish. Very interesting appetizer selection. I loved the halibut! Will definitely return here again! read more

I really love the atmosphere and the vibe of the place but unfortunately they need to do a little work on their menus and food. They're definitely trying to be upscale for LBK but the food is not matching up to the vibe or the atmosphere. Some of the dishes that we got were great others were a total miss. The steak that we got medium was well done and tasted almost bbq-y vibe. Excited to see how they progress in the next year (since they just opened). read more

It is hard to believe that such an upscale restaurant would not be able to wish my wife a Birthday sweet- a dessert or a drink. My wife felt disappointed that her birthday was not given an acknowledgment, that other restaurants around the world would at least give a complimentary piece of cake. This restaurant at the St Regis has a lot to learn, especially for special occasions. read more

The ambience, the food and the service were superb. The beef selections were absolutely amazing.

CW Prime is a dining experience that's on par with the finest Steak houses in America. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and my rib eye steak was tender and delicious. We ordered the special crab claws as appetizers and it was a generous portion with an amazing sauce to complement it. The potatoes were unique with as they were smashed and then fried into potato fries.Definitely worth a try. The asparagus was nothing special. I probably wouldn't order them again. The wine list was limited but adequate and reasonably priced.I'm not ordering screaming eagle wine anyway.Overall a top notch dining experience! read more

Food is mediocre at best and the GM is incompetent! Took forever between courses and food came ot Luke warm. GM Matthew is awful at customer service. read more

CW really outstanding! My filet was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I really suggest the cream of spinach ! and the halibut was like butter. Hands down, some of the most delicious food I've eaten lately. Erin our waitress was the sweetest and very attentive with us. We will be back read more

Ambiance was superb and intimate. Food was not "steak house" and had sauces all over steak. Caesar Salad was good but nothing special. Potato like add on was tasteless and strange. Drinks took 20 minutes even though there were few diners(waitress asked us for meal order before drinks came) service was slow. very troublesome was the way valet is handled First getting your car is slow .Second you get a $3.50 discount if you have your ticket stamped and then have to pay$10.00 after your $300.00+ meal.(no cash credit card only). We will be back for the rest of the beautiful resort but not for the dining1 read more

Fantastic, if you're looking for inexpensive this is not your place but if you great prime steaks and seafood plus top notch sides and cocktails come here. The atmosphere is stunning and worth some time to wonder around and check out the swanky resort read more

The St Regis is absolutely gorgeous! the lobby bar was wonderful and we were impressed by the professional and welcoming bar tenders. CW Prime is beautiful, but the food was blah. I had looked forward to the cowgirl ribeye that I had seen online but the waiter said they no longer had that on the menu. He suggested the ribeye that replaced the cowgirl ribeye so I opted for their replacement ribeye. When my plate was placed in front of me I actually thought it was a joke, if the steak was a 1/2 inch think I'd be surprised, it looked like something that you'd get at Longhorn or Outback. The food runners need to be trained correctly on serving and clearing as both were done incorrectly. Maybe we will try at some point down the road but it was very expensive to be just mediocre, sad. read more

Spectacular experience with a very caring and attentive staff. This property is over the top! We enjoyed the dining at CW Prime and having a drink at the waterfront monkey bar beforehand. The monkey bar was famous at the prior colony property. We live nearby and are excited to come back! A very special add to our LBK. read more

Beautiful dining room. Soft opening- duck small portion and chewy; Fish special Pompano was excellent. Wine list limited and service spotty. Look forward to full opening and hopefully elevated menu, wine list and service. read more

I have eaten there three times now. The steak is the best I ever had. They use a special charcoal grill and the flavor was amazing. The creamed corn was the best ever. The pricing is what you would expect from a high end restaurant with indulging ambiance. I will certainly come often. read more

The Steak was amazing but most of all the manager Matthew and Waiter Jeffrey were so accommodating and Welcoming. Such a Beautiful place This is diffidently on our favorite list. read more
