Service was excellent. However if we are enjoying a $400 dinner, I would atleast expect my steak cooked to order. I asked for my filet mignon to be cooked rare, it came medium-medium well. My boyfriend ordered a tomahawk steak, and it was ordered medium rare, also came medium well. Sides were great, but the actual steak itself.. not the best. I've had better meals for the price in San Francisco. Not sure who is paying these prices for mediocre cuisine in the Midwest, but hey, they're in business for a reason I guess. read more

The steak was not a prime or grass feed for $72 bucks. Was an half inch thick. The blue cheese on top tasted old.

Prime is a solid spot, particularly for a business lunch. It is one of the few remaining options for a full service restaurant downtown at lunch since the pandemic hit. I have been a few times for lunch and a few times for dinner. I definitely think the value shines through more at lunch. I normally order their lunch salads with steak and have not been disappointed. At $22-24, they aren't much more expensive than many mediocre options at other places. The steak is always cooked correctly and the ingredients mesh well. They also are good at getting you in and out efficiently if you are there for a quick lunch, or letting you linger if that is your preference. Dinner I've found the service a little more spotty, particularly pre theater. I find dinner pricing to be more similar to a typical steakhouse and the quality is about the same. I have no issues with dinner at Prime but I sightly prefer some other spots nearby, unless you want steak. read more

Walked in at 5:45 with no reservation, and was told they didn't have anything open until after 8pm, but we could eat at the bar. All kinds of open tables and that continued the entire time we were there. I'm not sure what has happened to the restaurant industry, but why do they just leave tables empty when people don't show up? We sit at the bar and are ignored for 15 minutes. The staff is literally doing nothing but walking back and forth. 2 of the guys looked right at us sitting there with no drinks or menus and did nothing. We finally have someone ask us about drinks, they get them, then run away. We had to ask for menus, and then it was at least 20 minutes before he came back to take our order. The lobster bisque has changed, and not for the better. It has this odd pumpkin pie taste, and zero lobster. The French onion soup was good. The filet was really salty and not cooked as requested. The prosciutto wrapped scallops are bacon wrapped and way overcooked. They're also swimming in a bowl of tasteless sauce, with a couple of random green beans thrown in for no apparent reason. The crème brûlée is very tasty and well done. Overall, the service is terrible and slow for zero reason. There's way too many people looking busy without actually doing anything. The food for the cost, is horrible and disappointing. read more

Incredible! Recommend deviled eggs, wagyu, and lobster bisque! MUST try the espresso old fashioned. I wish I got two of them. Sides are very large but excellent. Live music made the night. Service was extraordinary read more

To be in a world where you have to compete against Jeff Ruby's across the street is not a fair one to begin with, but Prime does their best. Appetizers and sides could feed a table of four and they are reasonably priced given their large portions. The spicy crab dip did the job, probably wouldn't have gotten it if I had known the complimentary bread/oil was coming next. The Loaded Potato was the size of a small meteorite, again could feed a table of four. And the truffle Mac and cheese was okay, noodles could have been cooked longer wasn't as smooth as I was hoping for. The steaks were DISAPPOINTING! Plenty of unwanted fat, as well as it just lacked flavor. Mine came out pretty rare, I asked for it to be cooked more and they gave it back medium well. They did not provide a Time Machine otherwise going back to the rare option would have been at the top of my list. She did like her Filet though. The price isn't too far off from Jeff Ruby's, so I can't justify ordering a steak here again. If I were to do it again: Load up on Bread/Oil Order some Soup/Salad Spend the rest on Sides/Appetizers to share All and all the live music was actually very good, they played college football on the big screens. I made my reservation through OpenTable and they made a special birthday menu for my special guest as well as a free dessert, Thank You for the Brownie points. I don't know if I'll be back. I wouldn't be upset if I did. But you either go to Jeff Ruby's or you go to the local Taco Shop and get pitchers of margaritas and endless barrio tacos until you pass out there's no inbetween. read more

restaurant is very nice! but I had a dinner there on Saturday August the 16th I left my wallet at the bar when paying for my food i noticed I left my wallet inside once I got to the car so I went back to the restaurant went to the bar where I was sitting there was no one else at the bar and I asked the server have he seen my wallet he said no I went back outside. I tracked my steps i asked him again he said no. So I waited the next day and I called the restaurant and I asked him have anyone turned the wallet in. They said no. in. They said no one found wallet so I called today and asked again and they said the same thing no one found a wallet no one has mentioned anything about a wallet so today I come home from work I check the mail they mailed my wallet back to my was taken out so I called them and who sent the wallet through the mail and they said no one from their restaurant sent in wallet because no one and no one turned it in and that they were confused on who sent the wallet through the mail, but it's clear as day you can see the mail is from J prime it says J prime I would not recommend anyone to eat here please be sure that you have all your belongings because they will lie about it read more

I recently went to a Christmas party at Prime in downtown Cincinnati, and they did a stellar job. It is difficult to serve a large group, and especially when you are all getting steaks at different temperatures. I would say the service and food were great from cocktails to finish. The bar tender was on top of whatever we wanted, and served all through dinner at our tables. Then the servers were extremely attentive, and the food came out hot and perfectly cooked. It was a magical night. I have been to several other well known restaurants in Cincinnati with large groups, and this was the best food and service I have ever experienced. I know how difficult it had to be to serve so many people, especially when they have had a few to drink. Stellar job, Prime! read more

Prime is located downtown Cincinnati as one of the premier steakhouses. The steaks and menu overall define this brand. I have come here for work events, valentines day, and prior to events at the Aronoff center. Also keep in mind there is also now a new speakeasy that is in the same building! There is also a side patio you can sit outside and smoke cigars post your dinner. Book ahead as this restaurant books up fast! read more

Wonderful lunch at Prime! The crab cake appetizer was very good and my strawberry salad with salmon was amazing. Honestly the best salmon I've ever had added to a salad, good seasoning and perfectly cooked. Normally salmon on a salad ends up being over cooked or dry but this was perfect. The service went above and beyond there as well. Everyone from the hostess to the server and folks helping bring out food were extremely nice to the adults at the table and especially my daughter. They brought her food out first (life saver and very smart, thank you!) and for unknown reasons she was telling everyone it was her birthday...it was not and I explained that to them. They still brought her a small dessert and told her "happy early birthday" How often are nice restaurants that kind and friendly to small children? In my experience almost never, I can't thank the staff enough, my entire family loved lunch and everyone left with a smile. read more

I could just sum up this review by saying the steakhouse salad has potatoes in it and there's no way you should miss out on it. But I'll try to add a little more I ate here for the first time before the bengals game last night and was looking for something not too heavy before the game. The steakhouse salad sounded like it checked all the boxes so I went with that. I usually eat steaks well done (I know, I know) but decided to go with medium-well steak on my salad and it was cooked perfectly, really just melted in my mouth. The potatoes in the salad were a nice touch and I didn't even mind the onions. The dressing had s good flavor and I really enjoyed my meal. I would definitely go here again, especially a day I had more time to soak it all in. read more

We came here on Cincinnati's Restaurant Week. To be honest I'd never heard of the restaurant we're not from this area we're closer to Dayton. They specialize in steak my husband tried there 3 fillet we both got the lobster bisque I had the Halibut instead of the filet. For dessert we both had the pretzel brownie ice cream dessert. I'm not a huge fan of red meat but I really liked their filet there mini filets. I like that they were thin and the texture... it wasn't chewy. I don't usually get red meat when we go to restaurants I'll just have a bite or two if his. But if we return here I I think I'll try their fillets for myself. Instead of the three different toppings though I think I would just get the horseradish on all three. The Halibut evidently isn't something that's on their normal menu but it was really good. It was a huge portion I ended up taking about half of it home. I'm diabetic and cauliflower is the big saying for replacing mashed potatoes I've tried it other places and was not a fan but here it was really good. I would definitely be okay with having the cauliflower mash again. We both had the brownie. I assume that what we got was a smaller version of what they serve Restaurant Week. But it was definitely big enough it was very rich. We both felt like it had a little bit too much pretzel in it cuz it was I like sweet and salty together but it was a little overboard on the salty but I enjoyed it. I wouldn't have wanted a bigger portion than what I had. Forgot to mention the cocktail it was a seasonal cocktail called soul-searching that the server described as pair and Ginger vodka cocktail. I really like it I would definitely get that again. I only had one if I think if I had to I would have been really buzzed. The ginger really felt good to my throat. It's allergy season and I've been having a lot of sinus. I even ate a few nibbles of the candied ginger that was a garnish in the cocktail. Even with the restaurant Week prices it was a very pricey meal. The many fillets that Ken chose didn't come with any saying so he ordered loaded tots which of course we're extra. And my cocktail I think it was around $15. So it wasn't something that we would do every Dave but if you're celebrating something special like an anniversary or birthday. They asked if we were celebrating something when we were seated and we said no... Other nice restaurants give you a complimentary dessert. I don't know if that would have been the case here. The service was excellent they told us that it we would be helped by a couple different people and they didn't an exceptional job. They did mandates social distancing and masks and they did have hand sanitizer since this is the Coronavirus new world. There's a parking garage right next door so that was very convenient for parking. I really enjoyed our meal I would recommend it if the price doesn't scare you off or you're celebrating something special. Even with my cocktail we were a bit under $200. But I think if it wasn't restaurant week you'd probably be over $200 read more

Just an amazing dinner for Valentine's Day. I was given a red rose as soon as I sat at the table, which was a very nice touch. We started with a house salad and deviled eggs. The eggs were wonderful. The salad was just ok- I would skip that next time. Hubs got the 12 oz Wagyu Filet- it melted in your mouth. I got the Sea Bass- also delicious! Our sides consisted of Creamed Spinach, Brussel Sprouts, and Parmesan Risotto. The sprouts were super sweet. The risotto was amazing, and I am still snacking on it 2 days later. We finished our meal with an Irish Coffee and Peanut Butter Chocolate cake. Oh man, is all I can say. That cake is to die for! All in all, this was a fantastic Valentine's Day meal, and I would go back during a next special event. read more

These folks have the patience of a saint. From this day forth they will be known as "Saint Prime", blessed saint of friends and good company. I went with a group of 7 and we were SO loud at one point the manager had to come to the table. I thought we would get kicked out so we left beforehand to save the embarrassment. It just felt so good to be out in public again we may have forgotten how to be social. In either case, we ordered lots of food including the most succulent rib eyes I have ever eaten. I was extremely satisfied with the meal, the service, the patience of the wait staff and the management. Nothing but positive feedback to give. I chose the course meal to make it easy since I was feeling a little overwhelmed by the menu. It turned out to be the best choice for me. $50 and curated so I didn't have to think. I'd choose it every time. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

Food is very highly priced for what you get! With tax and tip I paid $81 for a wedge salad, filet trio, and coke. NO sides! It would have been nice to know the sides are meant to be shared (wasn't explained on the menu) so we could have planned better. The filet trio was good, tender steak but the toppings were quite salty. I tried the lobster mac and cheese and loaded tots. They were nothing memorable or cravable. For these prices, I expect the food to knock me out of my chair with how good it tastes. Would not recommend. read more

During this crazy time of COVID-19, and stay-at-home orders, how restaurant food is enjoyed has changed greatly. In the case of Prime, we decided to take this opportunity to try their steaks. That's it. Just the steaks. (Order the sides elsewhere for a fun and eclectic evening.) They are a steakhouse after all. Can their steaks stand alone? The answer is yes. Our steak of choice for sampling was ribeye. Meat seemed to be cooked to order. It was a hair over, but I am contributing that to the carryover cooking during drive time. Meat was flavorful. Meat cut easily. Grill marks on both sides. There was wasn't any gristle. Food was ready about 20 minutes after the time promised. I would be happy to have a full meal at Prime in the future. read more

Prime Cincinnati - Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I went to prime. Got a reservation. Waited 10min. No service and left, I'm sure the food is good, the service clearly sucks,

I had a nice time at the bar, but there were a few mishaps with my order. Burrata salad came with no pistachios or mint (as stated on the menu) and the bartender did bring me some pistachios once I mentioned the oversight. It took awhile though, and I was three quarters of the way done before they arrived. I also has some bread with garlic oil. The garlic oil had a plastic piece floating in it. I mentioned to the bartender and she said it was a spice. Was definitely not a spice. Still a tasty meal, but no acknowledgment for these oversights. read more

We had a large group the evening we dined at Prime, 10, so we had a private room for dinner, which also meant we had a primary server and his assistant. Both were provided excellent service, managing to keep things moving throughout the three hours while keeping everyone happy satisfied. Since I prefer to eat my calories, I only had a single glass of wine, so when apps arrived, glasses down! The calamari was what I'd expect at a place like Prime. I passed on the octopus and oysters, but the bread they served with the goat cheese was one I that had me asking for that plate to pass my way again. Shrimp cocktail was also good, very large shrimp and a bitey bit of horseradish in the marinara. I ordered the soup du jour, a flavorful broth-based soup with sausage, and for the the main, the delmonico ribeye. I've had a bone-in delmonico at capital grille a few times, and this was just flavorful, tender, and well cooked. The medium well was spot on, and it needed nothing, as a great steak should! The sides were larger portions than expected, even as shareables. The gnocchi was very tasty. We had a couple plates of the two different mashed potatoes floating around, but of the potatoes, the tots were the best. I don't know you can call something the size of a tangerine a "tot" but it had a crisp outer, molten potato inner, and was swimming in beer cheese and sour cream. What's not to like?!? My advice, cut it in half and let it cool for a couple minutes. Despite my stomach's protests, I had to try some of the desserts. We had at least one of each for the group. The half baked cookie - yum! The pretzel brownie was a little dense but good, touch of salt, some crunch, and caramel. I'd opt for either of those before the cheesecake (pretty much what you'd expect). I never saw the banana cream pie nor the crème brûlée, though there were a couple of each, they must have been good bc they never made it to my end of the table! This seems like a really nice "special occasion" place and as a high end establishment, the service and food were all on point. For our group it was a hit. read more

Okay, this place - so good. Great location, good ambiance, nice staff, and excellent food! Recommend this place for steak!!

Three times I have been here for lunch and never any more than 3 tables occupied each time. The recent lunch menu prices are much more reasonable however it has always taken an average of 30 minutes after I order before I get my food. The second and third time I came again was only because co-workers invited me along. Three times in a row my 30 minute lunch became an hour and 10 minutes. Food was alright and not anything memorable or spectacular either. Not coming back. read more

Took some friends to Prime Cincinnati last night for dinner. I had the 8 oz filet and, as usual, it was cooked perfectly as it melted in my mouth. The Spanish octopus appetizer looks like a new addition to the menu and was delicious. DJ was the perfect host and Emme, our server and her assistant, were fantastic! Friendly, attentive and always smiling. Our water glasses were never empty and both servers "magically" appeared whenever we "looked up". Live background music from the lounge area was outstanding. Perfect volume, not too loud and able to converse without yelling. The restaurant and lounge was very busy and it appeared everyone was having a good time. We walked over to the adjacent Street City Pub for after dinner drinks and it similar to Prime, the service was great. This was the first visit for our friends to Prime Cincinnati and they were very impressed! Nelson Castillo and his staff continue to raise the bar for fine dining in downtown Cincinnati. read more

My Mr. made reservations a month ago and surprised me for dinner here. I was shocked and excited at the same time. The moment we walked in, it was an awesome experience all around. It's our 3 year anniversary and what a perfect night to celebrate it here. This is my first time dining and been wanting to try it for awhile now. We were seated near the window (bar area). Perfect! The natural lighting was really nice (I get tired of sitting in dark areas in restaurants). Plus we were seated near the live music (which was not loud). What did it for me was the personalized "Happy Anniversary Sandra and Josh" on our menu. So nice that they took the time to do that. Our server was Tina and she was amazing! She covered the whole menu, gave recommendations, was patient answering all my questions and friendly! I even learned the different types of steaks. How they are prepared, aged and they are USDA PRIME. They purchased most from a farm in Columbus, OH. They have certified angus beef, Ohio Wagyu, and house dry aged beef. High quality beef! We started of Gascon Reserva Malbec (2015) my Mr thought it was pair well with our meals. Tina suggested the New England Calalmari which was drizzled with spicy aioli-hoisin glaze. She told us it was their best seller and her personal favorite so we started off with that. Less than 15 minutes, we got our appetizer and was truly impressed! The calamari was not chewy! Breaded, seasoned to perfection and the sauce complimented well! She didn't not rush us and felt no pressure to order right away. Everything was timed perfectly and I appreciated that. After finishing our appetizer we ordered our meal. I got the 6oz filet mignon (cooked medium) . It comes with a salad or soup so I got their house salad (field or greens, fresh croutons, onions and cherry tomatoes with peppercorn ranch). I got an additional side to go with my steak. I thought the truffle mashed potatoes would hit the spot. Their sides are huge (family size). My Mr got the Berkshire Pork Tenderloin- lightly smoked, chimichurri marinated with rice & beans pork belly, with tropical salsa. He got the summer salad with his meal. With our salads they gave us fresh sourdough bread with basil butter! So delicious! We got our meals and omg!!! I was in heaven. My steak was so moist, cooked perfectly and seasoned to where I didn't need to dip it in the sauce! The best steak I've ever had! My Mr enjoyed his meal that he cleaned his plate! We did not have room for dessert but I will say that I had the greatest time and won't forget this experience. Thanks Prime Cincy for making us feel special. I left with a happy face. read more

I'd been on the hunt for a perfect anniversary spot for my lady and I for a few months when I thought of Prime. I had other spots in mind, but Prime stood out to me for the overall atmosphere shown on their web site, plus the fact that they had live music most weekend nights. So I called and made a reservation for us both. They asked if we would like to be seated near the music act and I said yes. They also asked if it was a special occasion and I mentioned our anniversary. The experience when we got there was nothing but top notch. We were seated at a perfect table as requested, and our menus were personalized reading "Happy anniversary Sandra & Josh". Our server, Tina, was awesome and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. We started out with great bottle of Argentinian Malbec and an order of New England calamari. The wine was exquisite and the calamari was epic, possibly the best I've ever had. Tina definitely let us take our time with it all too. We didn't feel rushed for one second like most restaurants that rely in table turnover. As for dinner, my lady opted for the filet mignon along with the house salad with peppercorn ranch dressing and a side of truffle mashed potatoes (family sized portion so we could share it), while I went with the Berkshire pork tenderloin and Summer salad. Everything looked and tasted amazing! Even the sourdough bread that came with it all was excellent. I'm definitely glad I chose this spot for our anniversary dinner because it made for a very memorable experience. Everything about it was truly great. I have a feeling my lady and I may come here again. read more

Prime Cincinnati - Personalized menus for our anniversary. This was the start of a great experience l! - Steakhouses Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My wife and I decided on Prime to celebrate our anniversary. The general rule of thumb for restaurants that have high prices, is that there should be consistency between the menu, the execution of the menu, the waiters and the atmosphere. As far as the menu goes, there's a pretty good set of options. For the appetizer, we chose the Prosciutto Scallops and the Sweet Chili Chorizo Muscles. The scallops were cooked wonderfully and the miso-glaze that accompanied it was very delectable. However, it was a bit salty (I believe there was salt on the scallop, the glaze and of course the prosciutto). Overall it was enjoyable, just needed water. The muscles, specifically the chili sauce, was fantastic. The chorizo was cooked nicely and paired well with the freshness of the muscles. My wife had the Burrata Salad and the Braised Beef--the Burrata was simple: cheese, basil, tomatoes and balsamic. Pretty much a cheat code, she enjoyed. The braised beef had good flavor, as well as the mashed potatoes however the white beans felt like an after though. The menu mentioned Swiss Chard as well, but this also appeared hidden. I had the Seafood Chopped salad--the louie dressing was good enough to drink. It paired nicely with the crab and eggs (weird sentence, right?). The shrimp that was offered were two unseasoned cocktail shrimp, which also felt like an afterthought. The wife had the Grippo Brownie, which she enjoyed. The description seemed experimental with pretzel dust and grippo seasoning but it ultimately just came out to be a regular brownie. I had the half-baked chocolate chip cookies which took me back to my childhood. Unfortunately, it was poorly executed. The cookie was upside down, so the soft and gooey part was on the bottom and mixed with the aluminum foil it was packaged with. I had to scrape with fingers to reclaim what I'd lost, which assuaged the sweet tooth in me, but still, dish it was lost. Overall, I'll give a 3.5/5 - great menu, service was polite and atmosphere was calm. Execution is the only thing that brought those down. read more

We're from Texas and my husband loves steak. We have a lot of fine dining steak houses in our state and we have eaten at most of them. This one may have a leg up on even Texas prices. All the menu items are ala carte. Cocktails: Lemon Bullet $14, Amaretto Sour $10 and cocktail. It was the best Amaretto sour I have ever had. The lemon bullet did not skimp on alcohol and was stronger than we both like. We're not really drinkers, so this might be perfect for others. Dinner: 12 oz. Filet Mignon $68, wedge side salad $8, baked potato $14, Crab cakes $18, Parmesan risotto $16. His filet mignon was perfectly cooked and he ate everything on his plate. The crab cake was moist inside with a crispy crust. Very nice. The risotto was VERY heavy on the parmesan. It was enough to feed 4. I think there was WAY too much parmesan and compromised the balance of flavor. I would give it a 6.5. The service was good. Summer and Jerry were professional and attentive without being bothersome. They checked in with us to make sure everything was okay. Our bill was $160 before tip. Even though pricey, it was mostly delicious. read more

I gave this place another shot and was surprised to say that I had a much different experience than my last. The staff were on point, my server was Mario, and he was excellent. My wine glass was always full, as was our water. It was never too much trouble to get something altered. There is live music, which was a piano that played softly in the background. In a steakhouse, that's exactly how you want it: not too loud, not awkwardly quiet. It wasn't too crowded; we went at 6pm on a Wednesday. Everything was very clean from the bathrooms to the tables and lobby. I got filet mignon AU waygu oscar style cooked rare + and it was cooked perfectly. My wife got the short rib, same thing. The spinach side was most squash with spinach on top, so that wasn't a big highlight. We got the Truffle Mac and Cheese and then added lobster for an additional price of $6, which I asked if I can pay $12 for double the lobster amount and it worked; still not better than Eddie Merlot's Mac and Cheese with lobster (nobody currently is). Desserts we got the half-baked cookie which is one of the best desserts I've had, Jeff Ruby still has the best, but they have a stand alone desert chef so that's why. We got the NY cheesecake and salted caramel crème brûlée to go, the later being a mistake because getting that to go doesn't come with the charred top, so it was just pudding, essentially. The prices were definitely up there, at least for the surf n turf option, but I'm wondering if the market is just that way right now because some places aren't even doing surf n turf right now (Eddie Merlot didn't as of 3 weeks ago). I spent $460 after tip for 4 (maybe 5?) glasses of wine, my wife's martini, and our food and sides. Definitely worth the money, will be back again. I guess they just had a bad night when I went the first time because this is a whole different place to me now. read more

Had the best date night here! So many great things to mention - our waitress, Abby, was fantastic. So sweet and prompt! The waiter helping to bus was really kind too, I didn't catch his name though. We started with the crab cake and it was soooo good. I got an 8oz filet with mushrooms and onions, and my husband got the NY strip! Steaks were cooked perfectly and were So. Damn. Good! We split the bacon bourbon Brussels and the Parmesan risotto. The risotto is pretty rich, so keep that in mind. Heated up great for leftovers though! There was great live music and we had a wonderful little date night. Felt safe and masks were worn by all the staff the entire time (and none underneath the nose lol). Thank you Prime! read more

We had meatballs for an appetizer, they were delicious. We had a fresh Caesar salad that was tasty. I ordered a ribeye and the peppercorn sauce. It was the best steak I've had from all of the high end places I've tried. The loaded potato was big enough for two to share. My husband had garlic shrimp linguini he thought it was very good.
