What an amazing restaurant with beautiful views, quality staff and impeccable food. My husband had the sirloin. I had the crab cakes and asparagus. Everything was top-quality, freshly made and wine and cocktails were well crafted. The owner is the real deal Italian , Juliana, who is present on site and obviously cares about her establishment and the community. read more

The kitchen was out of numerous items. Food and wine. There was an extremely loud table with ten extremely drunk and over served people. We were seated right next to them and asked to move. We were moved to the other side of the restaurant where it was hardly any different. All other people dining were quite annoyed. The server apologized and said he understood. When leaving the manager apologized and stated that they are not kids and shouldn't be acting like that. That's it. I have had the filet there many times and it has always been wonderful. This visit it was not. Nit even sure it was a filet. read more

We had my husbands birthday/family dinner 06/29/25. My husband ordered the New York strip with a loaded baked potato. Both were cold. My son ordered the mashed potatoes and they were cold as well. There are 3 different areas online that give 3 different hours of operation. We have gone every year for his birthday for the last 3 years. Every year has been bad. We will not be returning until we hear that there is new chefs.....and I use chef loosely. read more

Incredible steaks, mashed potatoes, and scallops. Service was great and the view is amazing. We will be back!

Love the steak and service is always awesome! The restaurant got recently upgraded with the addition of new windows and insulation. Glad that they can be open even during winter season. read more

We loved the atmosphere and the dining experience. Our waiter was the only person who worked that night but our dining experience was very good! read more

The manager, Demetrios, has this place on lock. The staff excellently trained, the bartenders knowledgeable. Best steak in the area. My compliments to T, the chef. read more

What a beautiful ambiance! Right on the lake to see all the boats and beautiful sunset! The menu is great here! We love the fish and the beef. The whiskey list is great and we had a wonderful server. We celebrated a birthday and had a large group- very fun evening. No kids menu or kids drinks read more

My friends and I went here while we were visiting town, we are not from the area. It started off horrible, we waited 15 minutes just for our server to come greet our table, we ordered food and she called us broke as we were ordering, our food took over an hour and it came it wrong, each side was wrong. Our checks were messed up as well, they tried to charge us an extra 60 dollars for no reason. The atmosphere was okay, but they sat us at a table with little space and we had 2 6'3 men with us so it wasn't a good spot for us. My friends and I are younger but we all run our own business and travel for work so we wanted a nice dinner. 0 stars if I could. read more

This would likely be a 3.5-star as everything was fairly good without really setting too high of a bar. Steaks are good quality, albeit not quite a standout flavor-wise. The twice-baked potatoes were a nice side with plenty of content. For desserts, it was a major letdown as the cheesecake tasted like cinnamon. Still, for the location, it is one of the better options for steak in the area! read more

Prime Boji - NY Strip with Twice Baked Potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Arnolds Park, Iowa

Second visit and this was not as good as our first visit. To ambiance is great with a good view of the lake. The service and main dishes were poor. We ordered a bottle of wine. The selection was good and prices were fair. The waiter brought wine glasses but both were dirty. After pointing it out, he replaced them and we thought minor service blip. We ordered an appetizer, the tuna tartar, which comes with crostini. The app came out looking great, but the waiter doesn't bring the crostini. We ask him to bring some and he brings two, which wouldn't scratch the surface of helping to finish the appetizer. He also doesn't bring appetizer plates...we were a bit surprised. We ordered steak and lamb. The wife asked hers to be medium and I asked mine to be medium rare. Both came out rare and cold. The lamb had more fat that wasn't trimmed away than meat. The sides were good, but that was it. All in all, for the price you pay you expect more. read more

Prime Boji - Awesome sunsets! Awesome shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce! Excellent steak! And get the chocolate cake or cheesecake .. so so good! - Steakhouses Near Me - Arnolds Park, Iowa

Great views, great service, best steak and seafood around. It's a small place, so just be ready to wait a little while for food to come out on a busy night. read more

Run - don't walk - to this phenomenal new dining experience. (But make a reservation first because you won't be the only one vying for a table.) If you've been to this location before, you know the view is incredible. But this new restaurant offers something else, too: amazing food that is executed perfectly, and is paired with incredible customer service and an impeccable fine dining atmosphere. I could go on and but don't take my word for it - check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed. read more

We ordered a filet and got what looked like a sirloin. The steak had gristle and fat on it. The baked potato was cold. The prices do not reflect the quality of food. read more

We love Gary's service and Mark's cocktails are delicious!!! The sea bass is a must!!!

Made an 8 o'clock reservation for my wife and I's once-a-month date night. In our mid 20's, so a fancy meal is a big deal that we work hard all month to celebrate. We show up at 7:55 and don't get seated until 8:45 with no explanation of when we will be seated. They seat us at what they called the "Mezzanine". It was not a table, but rather a bar, the server asked if one of us could sit down on the lower level across from my wife. I sit down and the table is at my shoulders and i'm looking up at my wife whose sitting 2 feet higher up then me... but at this point just happy to be seated. 9:00 we finally order appetizers and our meal. We are by no mean food snobs, and this is the first bad review I've ever left at a restaurant because I want people to aware before they spend their hard earned money on garage. Brussel spouts I rate 3/10 $18 - Crazy salty, and not fully cooked which left them very hard. Focaccia bread- 10/10, $6 and is honestly the only thing I'd ever order if I went back, which i won't. 8 oz Sirloin steak ordered medium- 4/10 $58 my wife ate around the outside but the middle was RARE RARE, we have never send food back and we were going to send the steak back, but we didn't see a server for the rest of the meal. we were just over it all and ready to cut our losses. Tuna steak- 2/10 $36, Way over cooked and no seasoning. No pink to the tuna steak and was so bland... I could only choke down half of it, i felt like i was eating canned cat food... With one glass of wine, tax and tip out total was $170. We were treated by the wait staff worse then I've ever been treated at even a cheap chain restaurant like Applebees, or Olive Garden etc. Might be up there for one of the worst meals I've ever eaten at a restaurant. The only good thing of the evening was the beautiful sunset that God painted for us that evening in the sky. The view is 10/10 at the Prime. read more

We dined at the restaurant on 5/23/25. There were only about 15-20 people in the restaurant when we were there and arrived around 5 pm. Server was polite and the restaurant had a great view of the lake. I had ordered the Filet cooked medium with whipped potatoes and my wife ordered the Sea Bass. The entrees did not include a salad or bread even though they were priced at $60. When the food arrived after nearly 50 minutes, I immediately checked my steak. It was cooked well-done instead of medium and it was server with a baked potato instead of the whipped potatoes. The waiter apologized and stated that the potato was his mistake and said he would have the steak redone. The Sea Bass was overdone but my wife was very hungry so she ate it anyway. After an additional 25 minutes the waiter stopped back and said it would not be too much longer for the re-fired filet. He also said that he would provide 2 desserts or comp the drinks on the ticket. I informed him that he could box 2 Tiramisu desserts to go. I cancelled the filet order and asked for the check. The couple at the table next to us had ordered a filet cooked medium also and she received her steak well done, but ate it anyway because she was hungry. When he brought the check, there were charges for the desserts that I brought to his attention so he had to run the check again. I paid the check and for the first time ever, I left a ZERO tip! One overdone Sea Bass, 2 glasses of wine, and an Iced tea for a hundred dollars. I had to go to McDonalds and get a sandwich and fries because I was starving. First and last time at this restaurant. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

None better in the lakes area for fine dining with a view - food is spectacular - Service is second to none - ambience is amazing - highest rating possible read more

We ordered the seafood tower and it was great and so much on it that we took enough home for two more meals.

Service was good. Friendly and frequent. He got us what when needed and was able to fix several problems. Food was ok. One in our party of 5 received their tuna entree before any other appetizers or salads came to the table. We'd been eating heavy so we stuck with lighter options. Crab salad arrived dry with no sauce. Tuna tartare was accompanied by hard avocado chunks. Ordered truffle fries that never arrived. Calamari was dark brown and extra crunchy. Chocolate cake was a big hit though. And the summer view over the lake is always nice. Way too much to spend on mediocre food coming out of the kitchen at an uneven pace. read more

Driving out of my way to eat here after calling the restaurant to find out where to see a menu as their website menu is not a link to open. Was directed to FB for a menu. After working 11 hours, I need to go back to my hotel to finish my charting. I called to place a Togo order. I was put off n hold and then told they do not do Togo orders. This should be posted on their menu on FB and on the website. Even the if I'm dining in, I will never go to this restaurant. read more

Always the best view of Okoboji and great food ! The staff is courteous and efficient.

Bar tender Mark is terrific. Sets the right tone for the entire restaurant. Beautiful views of the lake and sunsets. Food is a bit pricy for what you get and where it is but inflation gets us all. Will always eat here when I come into town. read more

First time at Prime the food was delicious the portions were quite large and presentation was lovely. Well done! read more

We love Prime Boji! We always request Ryan as our server because he loves his work and it shows in his attention to detail and personality. Everything is great - drinks, steaks, seafood and the best view in Okoboji. Would love to see a little "extra" in the decor but things take time. Don't miss Prime for a special night out! read more

Prime must be the best restaurant in Okoboji, we all really enjoyed our meal. Massive portions but no ones complaining!

We went here in July 2022. After coming to the lakes for years, we were happy to find this place and it was the best food we have had in the lake. We had a party of 6 and had to split into two tables because we didn't have reservations, but the kids probably liked that better anyway. I had fish and my wife had a soup and salad. Solid cocktails also! Look forward to going back next summer. read more

Great food, great service! Our server Ryan was awesome! Definitely will go back and enjoy the drinks, food and the ambiance.

Food was great. Steaks and chops done just right. Great service. Best calamari I've had. Would definitely recommend

Had a wonderful dinner with friends on 7/30/2022, beautiful view of the lake from this restaurant. Dinner started well, but went south quickly when our waitress, who was new, forgot to put our order in. Once this was discovered, the manager quickly came to the rescue, taking over serving us and more than making up for his staff's error. My Cosmopolitan was large and perfectly mixed, our salads were also large and flavorful. I had the filet and twice baked potato (which was a meal in itself). My steak was cooked to perfection (a little under medium). One of my friends had the pork chop, it was the largest pork chop I've ever seen and she said it was as delicious as it was large, she couldn't finish it. With all the staffing issues going on these days, it is understandable things will come up when new employees are being trained. How management handled the issue once brought to their attention was what was most memorable. Make sure to make a reservation as this is a smaller sized restaurant and a MUST if you are looking for a wonderful dinner when visiting Lake Okoboji! read more
