The service was impeccable, excellent staff. We had the pleasure of being served and cared for by Maia. Additionally Adam kept a close and attentive eye on our table. Overall extraordinary service and the food was divine. read more

J Prime is one of the best dining experiences I've had in Austin. The interior feels luxurious, and the tables are large and well separated, so you never feel like you're sitting closer to another party than your own. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our table was attended to meticulously, but never in a way that felt intrusive. I also loved that they openly recommended sharing a steak because of the portion sizes, which is uncommon and very practical. I personally went with the A5 Wagyu, and it was absolutely amazing. The bartender was also top notch. My extra dirty martini was impeccable. Excellent place overall. read more

J Prime Steakhouse - Austin - The food was too good and forgot to take pics so here is one pic after dinner lol - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dropped in for Social Hour (nightly from 4-7pm), and apparently everything *is* bigger in Texas, because the two "small plates" I ordered were anything but! Sat at the bar and received prompt and efficient service. The dim lighting made it a bit difficult to read the menu, but provided a chill ambiance. The Grilled Pineapple J Kabob (three mini kabobs of filet mignon, bell peppers, and onions, served on a slice of grilled pineapple) was deliciously flavorful and practically a complete meal in and of itself. The Filet Mignon à la Parrilla (sliced tenderloin over creamy polenta, topped with grilled bell peppers and chimichurri) was equally bountiful but too salty for my taste due to the unexpected amount of bacon slotted in between slices of filet. Thankfully the complimentary basket of Cheese Bread wasn't salty at all, and neither was my Cucumber Martini ;P. read more

Okay! So I travelled to Austin, Tx for work and for the last week, I've been talking about a good steak from Texas. I try and find locations nearby my hotel so I do not have to travel and lo and behold, J Prime was the next block over. The atmosphere was calm, a little dark to maybe set a more romantic or high class mood but my colleague and I were not in our best dress but the staff didn't make us feel like we were underdressed. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat at the bar. The two baristas greeted us and immediately brought water while asking if we wanted to drink. On Mondays, it seems like the restaurant has an all day happy hour so I ordered a lemon drop martini and opted for the $2 up charge because of my drink of choice. So a select few of drinks including some liquor was $10. I order two lemon drops for $12 each. They tasted amazing and shout out to the bar tenders. I ordered the 16oz ribeye ($70) with the garlic/herb butter. It may not look appealing in my photo, but let me tell you... it was delicious and exactly what I wanted. I ordered the crispy Brussels ($15) as my side minus the chopped walnuts and they were also delicious. In total I spent out $140 including tip. The sides are large enough to share and the happy hour specials are worth it. If you're in Downtown Austin, give JPrime a shot. read more

Booked this place the first Friday of SXSW for a private partner dinner. Just 10 of us -- super intimate setup -- and wow... they absolutely delivered. I'll start with this: one of the guests at the table said it was the best meal they've ever had in their life. And this isn't someone who just eats out occasionally. This is a speaker who travels the country every week trying new restaurants. That statement alone should tell you something. Let's start with the bread because wowwww. These rolls deserve their own category in the "great restaurant breads of the world" conversation. I can't even fully describe them. They're small enough to fit in the palm of your hand -- almost bite-sized but still substantial. Warm, soft, and there's this subtle cheesy flavor baked right into the dough. Then they bring out the chive butter on the side... forget about it. Unreal. Next up: the lobster bisque. Some of the best I've ever had. If you're there, just get it. Don't think twice. I didn't personally get the wedge salad, but a few people at the table did and it looked incredible. That's already locked in as the first thing I'm ordering the next time I'm back in Austin. For appetizers I went with the shrimp cocktail -- huge shrimp, super fresh, exactly what you want. The charcuterie board was also really well done, but the smoked meat tray was the one that really stole the show. And whatever they're doing with the cheese on that tray... wow. Just trust me and order it. For the main course I went with the filet and they nailed it. Cooked perfectly. No notes. Then the sides came out and things really took off. The crab fried rice was insane, the potatoes were great, and the Brussels sprouts absolutely held their own too. End of the day, this is the best steakhouse in Austin... until someone proves me wrong. 5 read more

J Prime Steakhouse - Austin - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

A night to remember! The ambience, vibes, and overall atmosphere were Grade A from the moment we walked in! The staff were absolutely amazing, knowledgeable about the menu from front to back, attentive, and made amazing recommendations. Now, let's get the food because it was exceptional I don't eat, so I can't speak on the steak, but my friend said, "It was terrific and flavorful, and on a scale from 1 to 10, it was a 7.75." The salmon was absolutely amazing, very juicy and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the seafood pasta; it was creamy with lots of seafood. J Prime was an all-around phenomenal dining experience. I'll definitely return once my pockets replenish. read more

Today's my birthday and it started with breakfast in bed by Chef Hubs! The night ended with dinner at J Prime Steakhouse located in the heart of downtown Austin. J Prime epitomizes fine dining. We valet parked because it was cold and it's no fun walking in the cold. When we walked in the hostess welcomed us as if when were family members, she had not seen in quite some time. We were seated at booth with sprinkled pink rose petals, a Happy Birthday Card and lighted balloon (yes lighted...Christmas like lights yet smaller on the string of the balloon and inside the balloon...nice touch!). Based on the balloon count in the dining room, 6 people were celebrating birthdays. James, our server, introduced himself and offered us water while we decided on our meal. J Prime is a large space with 3-4 private dining spaces in the back that will seat 30-40 people depending on how the rooms are configured. Interesting fact learned it used to be a Mexican restaurant with a patio. My hubby ordered lobster bisque and Ora Atlantic Salmon cooked a cedar plank with an orange slice underneath. I ordered a beet salad (an aesthetically pleasing salad and equally delicious) and Chilean seabass, one of my favorite fish. Before any food was brought to the table, we were offered a complimentary palate cleanser - tiny pancake with caviar topping. It was quite tasty. My hubby really enjoyed his salmon...it was crispy on top and moist inside. He said his lobster bisque was smooth and flavorful. My Chilean seabass was seared on top as requested. It also had some associated greens and sundried tomatoes underneath. The combination of textures and flavors created a welcome mouth explosion. We shared au gratin potatoes, which were more like mash potatoes than scalloped potatoes but still quite delicious. In addition, the Italian prosecco was refreshing and light. Before we began our dessert, we were offered another palate cleanser - lime sorbet along with a small towel to cleanse our hands. We had complimentary dessert...usually confetti cake but they were out at dinner time. Our waiter offered us one dessert from the menu instead and we chose carrot cake...it was moist with a hint of cinnamon loaded with nuts and cream cheese frosting. So yummy!!! While the food was excellent, the real standout was service...excellent service! James, our server was frequently at our table along with a water person. We drank a few sips of water and our glasses were refilled. We also had Andres, the general manager, stop by our table to check on us a few times. Andres engaged us in meaningful conversation. Both James and Andres were super friendly and attentive. Service...chef's kiss!!! The small yet appealing touches...coat check, table stand for your purse and leftovers packaged before your very eyes at your table. My birthday dinner could not have been better!!! Look forward to returning... read more

Restaurant week reservation number 2. Early dinner and chose bar seating. Not very busy at all and they have a huge bar. Katie the bartender was very kind and I appreciated her providing comments in the items selected. For $75 you've got options, see menu photos. I went with the Lobster bisque, NY strip, added Brussel sprouts +$10 (they had several options for sides and the carrot cake. Lobster bisque was delicious, I enjoyed the flavor and only thing that would make it better is to have more lobster r pieces in it. Steak was seasoned well, no additional modifications needed. Brussel sprouts were amazing, I opted to finish the steak over Brussel sprouts. Carrot cake, also delicious. Only got a few bites in as I was stuffed from everything else. The espresso martinis are also delightful. Man, all around good times. read more

I came for the happy hour menu and it was a great experience! It's hard to come by restaurants these days that offer a good menu for food & drinks. It was a great opportunity to sample what the restaurant has to offer. What's great is that the happy hour is even on a Sunday. The place was very quiet but the service was still great. What's great too is free street parking in downtown on Sundays which is a double win! The expresso martini was top notch! I ordered the steak with potato for my meal and beef carpaccio as an appetizer and they were both very tasty. For the price and the quantity of food, it was just perfect! I would def add it to your happy hour list to try. read more

Five star experience! Service was amazing, food was tasty, and possibly one of the best desserts I've ever had. We came at 5pm and the restaurant was pretty empty so staff was VERY attentive. Nice Happy Hour options but we weren't drinking. I went with the New York strip 10oz and my friends got the filet mignon 8oz. We all enjoyed our steaks! For sides we got the fries and broccolini. The broccolini was very tasty, though a little pricey. The fries were good but a lil soggy, not crisp enough and too much garlic. We got a free dessert for my friends bday and the piece was huge! We shared it and omg... all agreed it was possibly the best cake we've ever had. read more

Came here for Mother's Day, the food was good. Service was okay. We got here around 2pm and found out they ran out of new england lobster rolls. My family was very upset. We seen other tables who had it and it looked delicious. Overall experience, I may come back again. I won't be back at this place for any special occasion, hopefully the next round they will have stocked up on food. The chocolate mousse was amazing. They had these little round cheese bread that was great...it was a hit everyone liked them. The place was nice and clean. I would recommend this place to people to come. read more

Best steakhouse in Austin! We were a party of four, visiting Austin for the weekend, in search of great food and fun experiences. We were told to visit J Prime and told it was the best steak house in all of Austin, and we were not disappointed. Everything about it was 5-star! We celebrated a birthday (for which they provided a balloon and a great happy birthday cake) and enjoyed appetizers, drinks, food and dessert. Staff was attentive and professional and fun. All the food was delicious, particularly their dry aged steaks, and we loved indulging in the tequila cart and the whisky/scotch cart. So much fun, so delicious and a great, decadent, unique evening. 5-star awesomeness and we hope to return! read more

If you're looking for a Happy Hour that's just as luxurious as the main dining experience, J-Prime does not disappoint. This isn't your average "cheap drinks and bar bites" situation--this is elevated, just like everything else they do. The Drinks From craft cocktails to a carefully curated wine selection, everything on their Happy Hour menu is premium without the premium price. For just $9, you can sip on expertly mixed drinks, and if wine is more your vibe, they've got 50% off bottles every Sunday (yes, half-off). The Bites J-Prime does not mess around with their food, even for Happy Hour. Their $10 small plates give you a taste of that steakhouse excellence without the full dinner price tag. And let's be real--when a spot dry-ages their steaks in-house and has a fresh seafood display, you know their food is going to be next-level. While it is incredible difficult to pick favorites, I loved the Oysters, the filet kaboobs, the beef tartare and those mini Brazilian cheese bites. The Vibes This is not your typical Happy Hour scene. Think upscale, cozy, and inviting--the kind of place where you can unwind with a cocktail after work but still feel like you're treating yourself. Plus, with an open kitchen concept, you get to watch the chefs in action while you sip and snack. The Server even comes in post meal and offers you warm hand towels to freshen up before dessert! The Details Happy Hour: Daily, 4-7 PM $9 Cocktails $10 Small Plates Sunday Special: 50% Off Wine Bottles J-Prime's Happy Hour is perfect for a classy date night, a catch-up with friends, or just an excuse to indulge without going all in on a steak dinner without breaking the bank Follow @AustinHHClub for more of Austin's best Happy Hours! read more

Ambiance was beautiful, really appreciated the complimentary pancake topped with caviar, however the food overall was terrible, overcooked and very overpriced. Probably won't be back. But I will say the crab cakes were some of the best I've heard had!!! read more

J Prime Steakhouse - Austin - Tomahawk Dry Age steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

Service was great! Food unfortunately was not. Stopped by for my brothers birthday and the staff here were extremely hospitable. The atmosphere here is interesting -- they have the refined service and white tablecloths you'd expect of a fancy steakhouse but they choose to pair it with club / EDM style music. Not necessarily a con, just interesting. The food was where our experience soured: Bone Marrow - Quite overpriced for the portion of edible marrow you receive. Wouldn't order again. Dry aged Tomahawk - Unfortunately this was just average. It was cooked such that the outside was charred (leaving some pieces almost inedible) and did not have the flavor I expected for a steak of this price point. Perhaps this was to be expected with a larger cut of meat, but I was disappointed nonetheless. read more

J Prime Steakhouse - Austin - Dry Aged Tomahawk - Steakhouses Near Me - Austin, Texas

Service was amazing felt like they rolled out the red carpet for us upon entry with vibey music and big smiles and greetings from all the staff. And the ambience was top notch, beautifully decorated and nicely lit. At the same time it did not feel stuck up or uppity up, my bachelor group of 13 guys felt super comfortable. We had the private room and it was just the right size. The tomahawk steak was cooked perfectly (3 of us guys split it) and all the side dishes were good too. I recommend the lobster Mac and cheese and the broccolini and asparagus. We were so full we even had to take home some of our steak and sides. (Which we happily ate after we went bar hopping). Speaking of drinks. I recommend the old fashioned espresso and the tequila old fashioned espresso. If you need a fine dining experience where they'll make you feel comfortable and make you want to come back I recommend J-Prime! Oh and shoutout to our server Lorna or Lo, she was top notch and explained the menu really well. read more

J Prime Steakhouse is simply amazing. The food is ultra well-presenting and delicious. The cocktails were amazing and I loved how the menu showed what type of glass the drink is served in. I recommend getting something from the 'dinner for two' section (the Tomahawk specifically). Don't miss out on the bone marrow hot appetizer which I think was the highlight of the meal! read more

Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Ambiance- 5 stars This has to be the absolute best happy hour for selection and value in the entire Austin metro area! $10 small plates that include prime rib tacos, tenderloin on polenta, oysters on the half shell, tenderloin kebabs and more! This is just what I can remember because it's what we had. $9 cocktails and glasses of house wine. I normally do not care for house wine at most places, but they actually have decent house wine. The general manager, Miguel, is very personable and interactive, and remembers most repeat patrons from what I can tell! He will absolutely make up for any deficiencies you may experience. He's also funny. Truly, everything a good general manager should be! This is now our go to social hour place!! read more

Amazing food, great service, and a great vibe. Definitely high-end, the scallops were good, but I'm not sure they were worth $100

High-end steakhouse near the convention center with a great ambiance. Service is quick and attentive as you'd expect. Upscale feel throughout and prices to match! The appetizers were reasonable but nothing spectacular, however the Seafood Tower was quite good. Included some larger pieces of seafood which you sometimes miss out on with these combinations. For mains, I went with the American Wagyu NY Strip with a side of bearnaise. It was awesome! Super tender, packed with flavor, salty, perfectly cooked medium rare. It might be a bit spendy at nearly $150 but it was one of the better steaks I've had throughout the U.S. If it is in the budget, you likely won't be disappointed. read more

Visiting Austin, and came to J.Prime for a small celebration. Left this establishment beyond impressed. From the relaxed atmosphere, to the extremely warm and friendly staff, and most importantly the AMAZING food. From our wine selection, to the desserts, everything was top notch. We had the best service all around but particularly want to highlight Lorna and Ethan for your patience and making sure our party was completely satisfied. After such a great experience, I will definitely visit J.Prime every time Im in Austin read more

My partner grabbed last minute Valentine's reservations here. It was a pre-fixe menu for $129/pp. Although the ambiance and service were nice, the food was pricey for the quality. We had the following: Amuse bouche: 0/5 The tiniest little toast point I've seen, with tasteless caviar. Rockin' oysters Rockefeller: 4/5 The flavor was great and there was a heaping portion of cheese sauce and spinach. The oyster itself was big, but did not taste the most fresh. Ribeye: 2/5 The ribeye was cooked to my liking at medium rare and the flavor was decent. However, the quality of the ribeye was not great. It tasted like a USDA Choice or Select grade steak, not a "45 day aged ribeye" as advertised. I feel like I could get a better steak from Texas Roadhouse. Crispy Brussels: 4/5 These Brussels were pretty good. I liked the flavor and how they were cooked. Au gratin potatoes: 2/5 Pretty underwhelming and tasted like boxed potatoes. Red velvet cake: 4/5 I liked this dessert, although the cake was a little too sweet. read more

We celebrated my mom's surprise birthday over this last weekend at J-Prime. My brother and his fiancée flew in and J-Prime helped accommodate our surprise by seating my brother and his fiancée early at the table so we were able to perfectly set up the surprise factor for my mom and dad. Additionally at the same dinner, J-Prime helped prepare a surprise gender reveal for my wife and I. J-Prime's staff worked with my wife's sister to prepare a dessert with the gender reveal so that none of us at the table had to know the result beforehand. It was perfectly handled and the staff worked hard to handle this unique request. Shout out to Nick as our primary server. Food and service continue to be top-notch (this was our 3rd visit). It's my favorite restaurant in Austin! read more

I enjoyed several nights in Austin visiting family, and we decided to have a date night at J Prime. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff was exceptional! A special shout-out to Anastasia for her attention to detail--she truly made our experience unforgettable. If our server took our knife, she had a new one back at the table in no time. A crumb fell, and she was there to handle it. No detail goes unnoticed! Each course was exquisite--definitely try the wagyu; it never disappoints! Plus, the adult "ice cream carts" added a delightful touch to our evening. read more

I wish I could afford to come here weekly! This place is one of the best steakhouse experiences I've had in Austin. Food was incredible along with the ambiance. Our server really went above and beyond for our birthday celebration- free dessert and a chic light up balloon/handwritten card for the guest of honor. The only negavtive I have to say- is that we ordered the prisoner cab but were charged for the prisoner Zinfandel... which was over a $100 price difference for the bottle. I didn't bother to refute the price for this due to the rest of the evening going well. We had the dry aged filet, lobster tail, wedge, celebration cake, and many of the seafood appetizers. Everything was fabulous and presented beautifully. This is definitely a perfect spot for a romantic evening, or group dinner for a special occasion. Get your wallet ready (but it's sooo worth it) ! read more

Went for a birthday which had a reservation. We had to wait about 25 minutes for our table to be ready. We sat at the bar. I just got a water and there were lip marks on the glass- I understand it happens, but still gross. We ordered drinks and just felt it was mainly juice/sugary. Some of them were good. The amuse-bouche provided was a very nice touch and appreciated. Over service was great. I believe our server was Darien or Damien. I apologize for not remembering. The food was a huge disappointment, and the reason for the review. For the steep price we paid for every item, almost everything was lacking in flavor and amount. The crab cake and carpaccio were my favorites. I ordered the Caesar salad and could not believe how TINY it was. I also got the sea bass & au gratin potatoes. No flavor whatsoever. It was very nice that they brought out a gigantic birthday cake slice & sparklers for my friend. Also, the music choice was... interesting to say the least. And not in a good way. Overall none of us were impressed with the place and aren't likely to return. read more

If you come here with a group of friends for a party like I did, you'll find they have three separate closed off private rooms. These three rooms hold between 20 and 40 people. Also, since you're downtown on third street, you can choose to valet your car for $25 or find a parking garage yourself. Once you are through the door, you'll notice right off this place has the upscale vibe and the goods to prove it. There is an impressive bar which has a happy hour from 4-7 (bar only!) and off to the side, aged beef behind glass. In the elegant dining room you'll find hundreds of top end wines displayed behind cellar temp glass. We were here for just a meet and greet, so we never had the pleasure of trying their amazing selection of steaks. Nonetheless, our group was subjected to some of the most amazing table service you could ever expect. Used dishes were whisked away and fresh wine glasses were swapped out frequently. Plenty of other yelpers bragging on the meat, I hope to have a second review at some point doing the same. If you're looking to bring a group or party for a private event and you have plenty of cash to spend, this is definitely a great venue. Some informative photos included. read more

The service was good and the steak l was great. The first time I came here five weeks ago the steak was good but today it was great. The bone in filet was top notch. Food: I think the cake was my favorite part lol. The ribeye steak was good but it was missing something. Lack of flavor. It wasn't bad by any means. It was just missing something and again at 400 for two people it should have been top notch. The lobster Mac and cheese was decent. The cake was really great tho. I really enjoyed that. Again update. The bone in filet was top notch. Much better than the ribeye. Service was good. They came to our table quite a bit. The knobs on the sink were broken in the restroom. The cut out for the hand towels was off centered. Those little touches go a long way. Solid five for me. Updated review. read more
