Third visit to this restaurant and this time was to celebrate mutual anniversary with good friends. Food was delicious and service was generally great, but we felt a bit rushed by our waitress at the end of our meal. Also was somewhat peeved about the $15 charge for sharing a meal, especially because they didn't even plate it. read more

Saw this place on Facebook highlighting their happy hour menu and popped in to give it a try! Mon-Wen 4:30-7 HH is only at the bar and they do take reservations for bar seating, so plan accordingly! The menu I saw online had food and drink specials, the menu in person did not have drinks on it. However, if you ask they will tell you! Food was delicious and the bartender was amazing! She seemed like she ran the place! Location is a block from the water and there was free parking out front! read more

Last minute anniversary dinner and couldn't have planned a better evening days in advance. We sat at the bar for a bit more casual feel and the service and cocktails were a 10/10. We ordered the mussels for an appetizer along with a filet and strip for our dinner with a few sides. Excellent! Filet melts in your mouth and loved it was served with roasted garlic cloves. Hubby had the key lime pie for dessert, which was excellent as well. Topped it all off with freshly brewed coffee (maybe a side of Bailey's with it ;-) Highly recommend Prime 225 if you are looking for a wonderful dining experience whether you want to dress up or stroll in after a great bike ride along the canal like us. Cheers!! read more

Small and intimate place with lovely charm located along a Main Street in a quaint waterfront town. Parking could be an issue. There's outdoor seating (small area on the sidewalk), indoor bar with about 10-12 seats, and a small dining area. Very chill and relaxed vibe. Menu has great selection of food. Not just seafood options, but also non seafood available as well. We only came in for drinks and sat at the bar. Several groups ordered dinner and what came out looked good. Especially the desserts! Ordered a lemon drop martini and a Sidecar and both were lovely. It was a bit busy so service was super fast, but that's to be expected in a small restaurant where people at the bar are eating full meals and there's one bartender for the entire place. The staff were super friendly. Would come again and try dinner for sure!! Great space to come for just a cocktail or a nice meal. read more

Had a fabulous dinner a at 225 consisted of a a wedge salad, Brussels sprouts, and a perfectly cooked filet, desert, beignets! Delicious

Dinner at Prime 225 was mostly hits. The wine selection was great for pairing with the meal, but the steak was just okay. The Brussels sprouts were the true star, followed closely by the delightful beignets. The lobster and crab dish was massive and as delicious as it was impressive- definitely expect leftovers. The place has a small and intimate charm. Just a heads up, parking can be tough, so I recommend getting there early on a Friday or Saturday and enjoying a pre-dinner walk. read more

Has a really great meal. The meat was cooked to perfection and Hayden was a fantastic server. Thanks all!

The service was good the atmosphere was very loud. Seems so sound buffering would do great here. Food was not memorable but it was prepared to order. No compliant other then noise level. read more

One of the best steaks I've ever had in my life--perfectly tender, buttery, and absolutely phenomenal. We ordered the porterhouse for two, shared a bottle of wine, and everything about the experience was amazing. The service was great and very friendly. The ambiance is quaint and intimate, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation. We usually prefer sitting at the bar, but this was a place we truly enjoyed dining at a table. read more

One of my favorite places. Walked in with no reservation and Frank made it happen on a Friday Night. He's the best! All the food came out with the best timing and cooked perfectly. The drinks are always great too. Such a great date night spot. Very calm ambiance for a date night! read more

We celebrated a birthday here. I had the porterhouse and she had the filet. Both were coooked to perfection and absolutely mouthwatering! Our server, unfortunately I forget her name, but made us feel like we were the only table she had. Make sure you save room for desert, because the apple crumble with ice cream is devine! read more

Best steak I've had in ages - chateaubriand cooked perfectly, wonderful Caesar salad, lobster bisque that stops traffic. These guys have got it right. Pricey? Yeah, a little, but go to the crumby mass market steakhouses and bring your dental insurance policy with you. A wonderful dinner, with special thanks to the ever attentive Frank and our server Tamara who was faultless. Hats off to these guys, as good as you'll get anywhere. read more

Really disappointed in our dinner at Prime 225 last week. It used to be great and a nice treat but not any more. The portion sizes have decreased while the prices have significantly increased. We live part time in NYC and we paid more at Prime for very similar meals in Manhattan. I was also shocked upon receiving the check to see we were charged a credit card fee! Nobody is doing that anymore, especially high end restaurants. I will no longer be recommending this restaurant to friends and family. read more

Food and service was outstanding. Their on line menu needs attention. For example Chateaubriand on line was $100 for a 22oz cut. In house $145 for 18oz. ??? read more

Food was great but be careful where you park. Plenty of Karen's in this quaint old neighborhood! Leaving notes on vehicles and confronting patrons who were leaving the restaurant. Not to mention the hostess was no where in sight when we arrived and stayed on the phone while we were patiently waiting to be seated for our reservation. Prime 225 please do better! read more

Food was great! Playing and taste were top notch. Perfect ambiance for our anniversary dinner. The service was also great. Parking was a bit of a challenge since it's in a small town(Chesapeake City)! Otherwise, great experience overall. read more

This place is FANTASTIC! A must if you are visiting. I had the Cesar Salad to start, and it was very good. I had the 16 oz Prime NY Strip Steak that was Outstanding. Service at the bar was top notch. Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

Let me start out by saying this is an outstanding restaurant, with outstanding food, and outstanding service. My family has been here twice and we have enjoyed our experience. Today we were celebrating our sister's birthday booking a 4:30PM reservation at the suggestion of the person who took our reservation since there would be 8 of us. Unfortunately, we were asked to leave because we were there too long according to the manager. Highly insulted after having spent over $1K and a 25%+tip. We were not told upon making the reservation there was a time limit. We will be back due to the aforementioned qualities of the restaurant, and the service from Carol & Tamara, but this reservation definitely did not end well. Absent of asking us to leave, this would have been a 5 star review. read more

Came in earlier today with my boyfriend for our 5:30 PM reservation and were seated promptly. Complimentary bread (2/5) was so-so. Short rib empanadas (3/5) The empanadas would have been perfect by itself. I think the bleu cheese kind of messed it up for me. Wasn't well balanced with the flavors. Clams casino (5/5) Not overly cooked or chewy. Fresh & delicious. My favorite from this evening's dinner. Crab cakes (3/5) Lightly crisp on the outside. Wasn't as fresh like I had hoped. The aioli & sriracha sauce didn't do much. Risotto was meh. The asparagus was wonderful though. Have had better at other restaurants such as Chesapeake Inn (around the corner) or Moshulu (Philly). Ribeye (Boyfriend 5/5) He liked his steak medium cook so this was perfect for him. 225 loaded baked potato (4.5/5) It was loaded with lots of cheese, sour cream, and bacon. Yummy! I gave them 3 stars because it's a nice establishment. The servers were pretty attentive and it was cute in there. read more

I have had dinner at prime 225 many times. I have never had a dinner that wasn't just the best!! 10/10

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Loved the gas lamps- took me back to the streets of New Orleans. An appreciator of details including the light-up menus. But aside from this the food was incredible! The bread & dipping oil was intensely good. Chateaubriand (for 2), meat just melted in my mouth & rich, savory, demi-glaze was drinkable. Brown mushrooms were so firm & full of flavor they could've been a vegetarian main; my husband is luke warm on fungi & he was popping them like candy. Ordered Maine lobster tail as add-on- could've been a meal on its own. Sweet potato with mini-marshmallows & candied pecans was as satisfying as dessert. Only thing that didn't light my fire was appetizer Clams Casino- been a while since I had this old skool classic, but it didn't excite me the way the other courses did. Reasonable bill for an all-out feast! read more

This restaurant is super cute, it's a little small, but that adds the charm, the bar looks sleek and modern, and the dining area is very pretty, and modern like the bar, it has a very romantic feel especially with the very cute heart folded napkins. Service was perfect, our waitress was very polite and very attentive, without hovering too much which really added to the romantic feel of the restaurant. (We got Hayden) The food came out in a good amount of time, little wait and it was very worth it, I had gotten the Tuna Steak and my partner ordered the Airline Chicken. The Tuna steak was juicy and tender and the airline chicken tasted amazing. Both were presented very well and looked just as good as they tasted. read more

We went to Prime225 for my brother's birthday the other day and were absolutely blown away! Not only is the restaurant on a cute street, the space is so cute and well decorated. As a large party, I find that getting enough attention can be difficult but our server did an amazing job and was so nice! I didn't try a cocktail but the menu options sounded fabulous and I cannot wait to go back! We started with the Caesar (as a self proclaimed casear salad connoisseur, this was in my top 3 Caesar's ever), Brussels (which are probably some of the best I have ever had. Get them! You will not regret. The hot honey is the perfect touch), bao buns, and crab dip. All were so good. I got the crab cakes for dinner and my fiancé got the pork. Let me tell youuuuu, we're not expecting the cut on the pork, it was massive and every bite was tender and tasty. The crab cakes were seasoned perfectly. I cannot wait to go back! read more

My wife and I went to Prime 225 to celebrate our 29th anniversary. Our appetizers, soup and salads were very good but all of this was overshadowed with overcooked rockfish and horrible service. Karly was not attentive, I had to go to the bar to see if my drink was ready...it was not, she was slow with everything, we couldn't even get our waters refilled.I have never been more disappointed with a $300 dinner. I do not recommend read more

Pre-Covid, this was our 'go to special occasion' spot. No longer. You might as well as plan on $100 (or a bit more) a head, and that's not getting much more than a glass of wine, and something on the menu. If you get appetizer's, desserts, etc.... (or god forbid a 2nd glass of wine)--you are WELL north of $100 a person. Just not worth it, and this place has been a family fav for years. Don't get me wrong, you are going to spend more here, but it's gotten obnoxious. I would describe it as you get 30% less food, and the price is 40% more. Disappointed! read more

We have been to Prime 225 about 6-8 times over the last few years. We've noticed it has been going down hill. This last visit on 11/24/2024 was probably the last time we will go there unless they make some major adjustments. Food: I had the Filet and my wife had the rockfish with crab. The filet was tasteless and minutely small for an 8oz serving. The rockfish was way overcooked to the point that it was hard to cut into bite sized pieces. The mushrooms were underwhelming as were the green beans and mashed potatoes. Service: The bus staff, although friendly, were inattentive and didn't "read the table". We are patient people and appreciate those who are learning. However, training the waitstaff is recommended. We are not there for nourishment. We are there for the experience and are paying handsomely for it. Ambiance: We don't want to be too picky here but when you slide into a booth at what is supposed to be a very nice special occasion restaurant, you shouldn't have to slide over a strip of duct tape on both seat cushions. I probably wouldn't have said anything about this if all else met our expectations. To summarize, I really don't write reviews but realize that changes don't happen unless the establishment receives some helpful feedback. When we discussed our latest experience with our friends and neighbors, they have had similar experiences as our last one......"Underwhelming and over priced". Prime 225 used to be an impressive restaurant. We hope they can get back to that status. We are well traveled locals and want local establishments to do well. We appreciate great food, creativity and are willing to pay for it. Right now, Prime 225 is not "it". read more

Amazing Dinner dress up occasion great for a night out. Bar drinks High end food and great atmosphere in Chesapeake city MD

Just WOW!!! Best meal of my trip and probably one of the best steaks I've had. The service was super. The atmosphere is really nice. The food is just amazing. We had clams casino & short rib empanadas to start. Then my son & I shared the chateaubriand for 2. Holy cow. This was just sublime. Our 3rd had the stuffed chicken breast and she loved it. For desert we had the most incredible chocolate frangelica creme brûlée. read more

I've visited this place three times with no regrets. The place is cozy and has a nice ambiance about it. Reservations are ideal to assure you are able to be seated. They are known for their steaks, but have other food options. It's a nice setting for cozy a dinner on a quiet and quaint historical street. I did not order steak, but my friend did; he was very pleased with it and the portion as well. One thing that surprised me and I truly appreciated was their light up menu. It truly makes it so easy to see in the dim restaurant and helped make the experience pleasurable. Our waiters have always been attentive and friendly. It's a bit pricey, but the experience is cozy and pleasurable. read more
