It's really unfortunate that fine dining like this has become a thing of the past. This restaurant is a perfect example of why that business succeeded so well in the 80s and 90s. The service here is phenomenal. Everyone from the hostess to the bartender to our server was professional kind, and on top of their job. All three of us decided to have the fillet it was cooked perfection. The sides were fresh and tasty. The plating was even a work of art. 5/5 highly recommended read more

Enjoyed a very nice evening here with great food and friendly service. The restaurant itself is a bit of a throwback. I started with a delicious old fashioned and they brought out some tasty bread. I'd see in some other Yelp reviews about the seafood bruschetta so we got that and I really liked it. For my main, I had stuffed shrimp and that was good too. The steak fries that came on the side were excellent. The restaurant was very lively and even though it's attached to a hotel it doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant. There are a lot of steps to the main entrance but I believe there is an accessible entrance using an elevator from the lower level. Don't sleep on this place, it's a good meal at an affordable price. read more

My wife, daughter and I ate here a few days ago. I dont like that the menu is not self explanatory. Had to ask alot of questions I felt could easily be explained on the menu. We all ordered the Delmonico medium rare. When they came, it was just a flat top steak that, I could tell had been frozen and thawed out. It tasted good, was more medium than medium rare. But definitely not horrible. Just below expectations for thhe $39 price tag. Server was good, a little slower than I preferred but she was good. I liked the fine dining experience in a casual environment. It was a nice atmosphere inside read more

Came here for dinner everything was great and fair priced a good local spot that should not go un visited highly recommend

I went with my father on June 28th 2026. We ordered a filet for 38 bucks and a porterhouse for 35ish. We got drinks. I asked for a salad to go and the older server was soooo mad. The food is great. The staff is iffy read more

Based on other reviews, we must of got them on a bad night... bread was stale on burgers , steak fries tasted raw in the middle. Mashed potatoes were cold , and the worse part was a few different flies buzzing at us. Like I said might have been a bad night. Nachos weren't bad, beer was cold... so hey, not all nights can be a home run. read more

Mariah was an awesome bartender/server! The place is a bit dark at night. Stopped by on a Saturday evening for dinner and on the specials was Swordfish and boy oh boy was that good! The bathroom situation is a bit strange as there was only one in the area but there's probably more by the hotel lobby area. No frozen drinks but bar looked well stocked. read more

First time here but I have wanted to come for a while. Came for lunch with a few friends. Food was great. Matt was our server and was very attentive to our needs. I loved that he got us a bottle of water for the table. Place was quiet since it was a Tuesday but it was very nice. They had a great variety of wines for those that appreciate a good variety of wines. read more

Grab salads and sandwiches for lunch every few weeks, always great! Need to go in for dinner some night!

Not worth it ordering takeout. The portion are so small. I ordered the seafood bruschetta and when I go inside the restaurant they give you great portions. I just ordered it to go and it they used smaller scallops then what I get inside the restaurant. And ordering online the price ie more read more

Prime 82 was very accommodating for our group of 13. The service was very on point with a few servers assisting us. The food was served in a timely manner and was very good. Older restaurant but they are very attentive and the portions are good and high quality food. We ordered salads to share, steaks were cooked just right, and we sampled desserts to share for the table. The restaurant has plenty of parking and had a good size evening crowd at the bar. read more

Great food! Great service. Sat at the bar and was greeted promptly with a smile! Will definitely be back

My wife and I have been to Prime 82 twice, and each time our whole experience has been excellent. The lighting is perfect, and the level of the music is low - so we can understand one another when we talk! The food choices are great, and we have appreciated the wines recommended for the various entrees. Our food has always been perfectly cooked, and we have been fully satisfied by its quailtiy and taste. Our second time at Prime 82 our waitress was Mallory. We cannot praise her enough. She has been with Prime 82 for several years, and knows the place inside and out. She was pleasant, and always obliged us with our requests. We believe that the service in a restaurant is half the experience. Mallory made our entire time a delight. We look forward to returning; and we will plan to do that when Mallory is waiting on table. read more

Six of us sought a better than average restaurant in southeast Connecticut near Lisbon, Baltic, and Hanover. Prime82 stood out as the only Google search result with table clothes. We decided to give it a go, and generally were pleased. Some reviews say the place has an 80's vibe. Those were probably written by diners too young to remember the 70's. Yes, aesthetically the place is a "throwback," but nostalgia has a place in this world. We had an appetizer that promoted itself as "fondue." It was really very good. Entirely worthwhile, but no, it's NOT fondue--not even close. The other appetizers we tried were also tasty and reasonably priced to boot. I had a Delmonico steak, rare. I was raised on Texas cooking and know prime beef when I have it. The steak was properly cooked and adequate tasting, but hardly the best Delmonico I've ever had. I'm not a USDA inspector, so it's just my opinion but the steak seemed to me to be a very good choice, but not really prime. Frankly, I'd prefer a smaller cut of higher quality beef. The secret to a really good steak, is to buy a really good steak. Four ounces of real prime beef, makes a better meal than 10 ounces of even the best choice. My wife had a burger that she described as terrible. That seems to validate the opinion of some reviewers of this restaurant. It's quite possible that one's impression is highly influenced by what was ordered. This is not a place to count on a nice dessert. The choices are VERY limited. If you happen to like cheesecake, the bite of the Boston cheesecake I tried was very good. Bottom line, the total bill, appetizers, main courses, wine, and coffee was quite reasonable. Certainly, the food, service, and price tag of Prime82 is competitive with similar better than average eateries in Eastern Connecticut. We had a good time. It's worth a stop. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g33872-d2459288-r1004603463-Prime_82-Norwich_Mystic_Country_Connecticut.html# read more

Sadly, I have to give a 2-star food review. Food in the pics came Stone Cold Steve Austin angry and chilly. Staff is top notch. But you can tell food was microwaved then sat so long it cooled. And cold steak fat and a hard cold baked potato didn't warrant more stars. Wont bother again. Sorry Prime 82 Team, you rock! Chef- microwave!!! Really!! Not cool!!!!!! read more

The food was good, the service was good and the atmosphere was fine. However, the glasses bring used had a fill and had other residue on them which was not very appealing. They may need to look at their glass cleaning machine. read more

I love Prime 82 Restaurant. Every time I order something, most recently a New York Medium Well steak, potato skins, scallops and asparagus with Mashed potatoes, I get a perfect plate of delicious food. Prime 82 is worth the $$'s. And most important, I found the food to be healthy and not overloaded with salt. I have High BP issues. It is important for me to watch my sodium. Have a great day. read more

PLEASE READ IF CONSIDERING EATING HERE: So the food was all very low quality. Prime rib (medium rare as shown in pic it isn't) was so thin and had no bone on it, also none of the fat was rendered so I was eating chewy fat the whole time. Lobster for the seafood brucietta was fishy tasting and chewy, shrimp wasn't cleaned right and had sand, and the cod was undercooked. (Already threw up on my way home). Said they couldn't comp it due to us eating 2/4 pieces but happily took back the other 2. Bay leaves found in the soup which the food runner laughed about. Wasted 116$ on food I will be throwing out due to them not wanting to comp. Will be posting pics and video of me getting sick with it. Thanks for a meal I now have to cook another dinner for myself because of. SCREEN SHOTS SHOW HOW THE OWNER RESPONDED TO ME AND ALSO COMMENTS FROM FRIENDS OF MINE ABOUT THIS PLACE.

Sat at the bar, our bartender Matt was exceptional!! He was very sweet and made a perfect expresso martini!! Found my new lunch spot.

We were staying at the Marriott and the check in host recommended this place. I looked on Google and the prices seemed reasonable for meals we get back home. We were seated right away. Restaurant was loud with a business group chatting enthusiastically. Our waitress was very friendly and patient while I asked her to repeat things. I noticed the prices were higher on the menu than the Google site to their restaurant. She said they were aware. One water had dirt floating on top. They took it and got another and brought bread. My Caesar salad was heavy on lemon flavor and had a lot of dressing. Not the best. No dark romaine leaves either. Sad All of our meals came very hot. We were all pleased with the amount and taste. They refilled our water often. Overall, it was a good choice. read more

Our waitress was absolutely horrible. We had to flag her down numerous times. We were ignored and had to ask other servers to get her twice. Everyone around us has bread and we still have none. I had the stuffed shrimp and it was fine. My friend had the shrimp scampi and it was gelatinous. She told the waitress and she gave her attitude and tried to argue that its because there may be breading on the shrimp. There was no breading. We then have to ask for a check which ahe slmed down on the table and walked away. Honestly the people around us seem that they are getting good service and enjoying there food. I think she looked at us and judged us because I came from school and had a tshirt and jeans on. Well her loss we usually tip 30-50%. Dont judge a book by its cover. read more

I never write reviews but this place deserves it. We started with drinks of course with our party of 4. Dirty martinis ( no so dirty for sammy) some had Moscow mules ( I didn't like the ginger beer so they switched me to Black Label ( no prob with awesome bartenders ) Then we had a few shots while apps came out all were amazing we did the clams / calamari / nachos ( forgot to add protein ) & Caesar salad nothing was left on table .. then we had the Fred flinston tomahawk steak ( cooked and seasoned to perfection ) top offed with a round or 2 of shots and tiramisu. Everything was great and the service even better ( jam packed sat night ) We had a blast and you should too.. make this your stop before Mohegan Sun.. read more

Guys... stop charring your steaks!! I ordered the filet. It was a hunk of coal. Y'all are letting the skillet get too hot. All I could taste was charcoal. Pretty gross. The sides, however, were delicious. But cmon y'all. read more

So I at one point have a 5/5 review. Today we went to celebrate an occasion, there were NO oysters, which was my first choice, the seafood bruchetta was over cooked with NO lobster to be seen, and the Mozzarella tomato salad, was less then good. The bartender had his back to us the whole time, and the manager wasn't to be found after seating us. Something has changed over the past 6 months I have pictures, but that's not an option here. read more

I've eaten here a number of times, most recently for my birthday this weekend. Having read through all the reviews, I can agree that all are plausible here. They're inconsistent in their quality of food or service. However, my recent experiences inform my belief this restaurant is trending in the right direction at the moment. My companions and I all thought our meal this weekend was the best we've had ever from them, the service was quite attentive and speedy, and the restaurant was mostly full but not too loud. Our one detractor was the inconsistent room temperature, it would fluctuate wildly between barely separated from the outside to is that fake fireplace blasting us directly? I will also say we did not inform them of my birthday, so I have no reason to believe we received any special service or attention that everyone else wasn't also getting. Not a five-star review because, on the aggregate, this is not a consistent enough experience here to rate the restaurant that high. Yet. read more

Nice atmosphere. Dined for lunch and the meal was excellent. We both enjoyed our lunch entrees and have been back several times. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Excellent food! Cocktails are delicious. Service is really great. The tiniest thing is that sometimes the music is very loud, however the staff is really great about changing it if asked. Go here and sit at the bar. You'll not be disappointed. read more

We held our son and daughter in law's after rehearsal dinner @ Prime 82. Working with Alex B was wonderful. We had approximately 30 guests in a beautiful private room. The food and drinks were over the top. Our hostess Ashley was amazing and accommodating. I'm sorry we live out of state, otherwise we would be regulars for dinner. Thank you for a smoothly run, relaxing evening amid Wedding craziness. read more

I've heard a lot about this restaurant but had never been here to eat before. We went with my husband's cousins so there was 8 of us in our group. They bring you warm rolls with butter or oil which is nice. I will say that it has been newly renovated in the last year & they did do a nice job with that. The food was ok. There were 3 of us that ordered the chicken francais which was ok. I've ordered this at several restaurants so I consider myself a kind of connoisseur of this dish. The chicken was delicious but there was not much of the lemon/white wine flavor that you would usually associate with this dish. I had it over linguini because they don't have angel hair. The other 2 diners had it with risotto. My biggest complaint was that they didn't show us a dessert menu just told us what they had which was very limited. They offered tiramisu, chocolate cake, cheesecake & 1 other option which I can't recall. The tiramisu looked a little sloppy like they had just thrown it on a plate & the cheesecake was very plain & bland. Ironically after our desserts had already been delivered another waiter brought out 2 more identical desserts but they were garnished with blueberries & looked much nicer. The desserts were $12 each which of course we didn't know because we never saw a dessert menu! Do not get dessert here! They are significantly overpriced for even a restaurant dessert. The going rate is usually $7.95-$8.95! $12 is incredibly overpriced for a dessert that is most certainly not made on the property by a chef! Very disappointed by that. Price were a little on the high side for meals as well. When the waiter brought our check there was also wine added to our tab that we had not had & he wanted to immediately check if it belonged in someone else's tab which also didn't go over well with others in our party. I'm glad that I tried this restaurant but would not be in a hurry to return again as there are several other restaurants in the area that are better. I would rate this restaurant as average! read more

Food was incredible, service was very good. Atmosphere was an odd mix of old school dining with almost an asian flair. prices were reasonable and even low considering the overall quality of the food and the efficient servers. A very big yet pleasant surprise. Highly recommend this restaurant and hope to be back again soon. read more

NEVER a bad meal here. Voted best steak in Ct. come and try the Delmonico and see for yourself! read more

Excellent food and service. Good atmosphere, nice music background, great looking bar but the star here is the food. I had a great caprese salad, shared fresh calamari, had a beautiful piece of cod ( very fresh and very welcomed with a nice flavor) and enjoyed homemade mashed potatoes ( with a nice hint of garlic). To finish, a very well done Tiramisu. Also, waiter couldn't be any nicer. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys fresh and well cooked food. I shall return. read more

The best burger in the area!!! Absolutely amazing. Excellent communication! I will eat here over and over again read more

This is probably my favorite steakhouse in town. If you're going to splurge, come here. Seriously folks, I got the Delmonico steak medium. With risotto and haricot vers. Also stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms could've used more stuffing. They were definitely hand made not frozen but a little too strong of a wine flavor to them. But they were tasty. Steak was a great well marbled cut. Char grilled if you like that. I'm not a huge fan of char grilling but it was totally fine. Risotto didn't leave an impression either way. Neither the haricot vers. Ambiance is okay. It's in a hotel. Music was a bit loud to me. Staff was nice. read more

Staff is very friendly and quick to serve, however there is not enough lighting to see the menu unless you hold it under the table top light. The PrimeRib my table ordered was brought out barely lukewarm, more fat than usual and the au jus was very watered. The Seafood "pie" was enjoyable but also very watery sauce not creamy. The butter and serving staff were the saving grace for this review. read more
