We had almost given up home on dining experiences in College Station but decided to take a friend's recommendation and check this place out and we were so glad that we did. From the minute we walked into the place, until we left, service was friendly, attentive, and top notch. We came in without at reservation but had no problem sitting at the bar. The vibe was great. While the service and ambience were great, the food was the star of the show. My husband and I often order appetizers for meals so this place was perfect for us. We had the bacon-wrapped dates, Spain on a plate charcuterie, the ribeye pinchos, and the special stuffed pepitos. Every morsel was delectable and you could tell that a great deal of though was put into ensuring that each bite was special. This will definitely be a place we seek out on our next trip to Aggieland. read more

I love primrose & go there very often. However, I made a reservation for 8 in August. We potentially could have 9 so I called to change that(you can only reserve 8 online). The girl asked for a card on file for parties 9 or larger(that was no big deal) it was after that she told me 9 will not be sat comfortably "it will be a tight squeeze". Why would I reserve a part of 9 & put my card on file to sit uncomfortably. I was very surprised how un-accommodating it was. I ended up canceling & reserving elsewhere we can sit comfortably. It's not worth showing up & someone is sat on an awkward corner or we are smooshed together at a table. It was for my bachelorette, so that's their loss! read more

Tried once. Felt pretentious given the ambience didn't match the food quality at all. Was in its early days but the taste of the dishes did not live upto the description/expectation. Was a letdown because we used to love Republic Steak House. read more

I honestly can't believe this place is in College Station. It feels like something you'd stumble on in a big metro area, period. We ordered appetizers, drinks, food, and desserts... and then basically had to roll ourselves out the door because we couldn't stop eating. Everything was that good. The servers knew their stuff, the space is gorgeous, and the whole vibe just works. If you're looking for a "special occasion" spot... or a "wear stretchy pants and make it a special occasion" spot... this is it. read more

This definitely is a bar with high tables. Food was very good. Many dishes are messy to eat. It would be nice if they would rethink their dishes with that in mind. Our server was very attentive. read more

Overall had a great experience. Knowledgeable staff and cute place. Portions are small but delicious, adds up quick! Will be back!

I was very impressed with Primrose. The food was fantastic, and the ambiance was simply amazing. Very romantic, very date-able. The server I had was one of the best servers I have ever had, and my whole table was impressed. Latino man, honestly forgot his name. One note I will give people a heads up for is that there's really no entrees. People just get a bunch of appetizers. However, if you want an appetizer, the pasta is a good enough amount for a smaller meal and is surprisingly cheap and delicious. read more

They have the sweetest girls as hostess! The atmosphere is super pretty and the food is very good! The serving sizes are very small so we had to order more which adds up quickly price wise but other than that my friends and i always have a great experience here! read more

Excellent experience for our first time. Our server, Kelsey, was so knowledgeable and amicable. We got several tapas and dessert and that was the perfect amount of food. Delicious cocktails. Will be back! read more

Excellent wine bar. We sat at the bar and had excellent service from Tanya. She guided us with food selections and drinks. Food was phenomenal and we will definitely return. The ambiance was very conducive to small plates and conversation with our neighbors. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A must visit while in College town especially if you are a foodie. Not big plates of BBQ meat and potatoes! read more

The atmosphere and the service were very good. Please don't go here hungry, since the portion sizes are extremely small. It's really meant as a place to have a few drinks and light snacks before dinner. Went with my wife and son and $200 later was still hungry. Go there for what it is, but if you want to be full for less $ go down the street to Texas Roadhouse. read more

Not the greatest experience for a first time but not sure if Id come back either. Came in around 6:30pm and asked if there was a table ready for 2 and was told the tables were booked however bar is open seating which was fine. However there were two tables that were vacant for the entirety of our 1 hr stay at primrose. Moving forward the calamari frita came after 15 minutes which was expected however every piece from the calamari to the vegetables were saturated with oil (I know its deep fried but cmon guys my fork was extremely soaked from it as well as the plate that i put it back on and wasnt offered a new dry plate ). Unacceptably we asked it to be taken away. Brussel sprouts were a tad greasy as well but was somewhat bearable. Good flavor but due to the oil content we ate 1/3 of it... The bolognese was great. Nice meat-pasta ratio and quality cheese (ricotta & Parmesan). My only complaint was it came out lukewarm. I know this is a college town but mannnn for a restaurant that's targeted towards upscale sheesh read more

Ambiance is amazing! Our server , Kelsey M, recommended the perfect dishes for our taste, almost as if we have known her forever! Espresso martini is to die for, ravioli I feel the same! Kelsey thank you for being more than a server, you helped us really enjoy our night after we had a terrible day of our fathers funeral and we didn't even tell her, she just gave us the attention we needed/deserved!!! 10/10 restaurant, Cstat/Bryan area likes to say they have 5 star restaurants and usually lie, but not this joint! Thank yall! read more

God I love this place it's so delicious the drinks are INCREDIBLE and the FOOD IS OUTSTANDING!!! It is a pricey place but if that's the vibe you want totally check this place out always a GREAT EXPERIENCE read more

Primrose path is a great ambience to grab a pre-dinner drink cocktail or pre-dinner drink appetizer! This top of style bar has quick service and great service as well! If you come, please request Tanya as your server she is the most knowledgeable and kind server. I have experienced in a long time. The raindrops on roses drink was delicious, and the brussels sprouts are an absolute must! For a bit hardier portion go with the steak and empanadas they are to die for! read more

Maybe one of the best restaurants in College Station. We tried a bunch of different dishes and they were all incredible. I've sat on the patio and inside and the vibes are great on both. Also not pictured was the gnocchi- best I have ever had!! Could not recommend enough. read more

This was my first time here last evening, and I must say, I was underwhelmed and truly disappointed. The Brussels sprouts were delicious, but the $18 Catalonian chicken skewers were dry and tasteless. They came out much later than everyone else's plates, and perhaps they were forgotten under the warmer. I should have sent them back, but I did not want to dampen the social time with friends. With that said, our server, Autumn, was fabulous. We had vegans in our party, and she was on top of making sure their dietary needs were accommodated. I have visitors from Dallas, Houston, and Austin often, and I will avoid bringing them here. You can do better. read more

I went the other day with my boyfriend and it was so great!! we started at the bar until our table was ready and the bartender was super cool! The inside has a very romantic yet social vibe. Once our table was ready, we went outside and ordered a bunch of food. Everything was absolutely amazing. Our server was Tanya and I can't recommend her enough! She seemed like she genuinely cared about our experience. My boyfriend and I were wanting to try some new wines and she recommended a ton and knew what she was talking about. She even made us feel comfortable by letting us know that we can be honest if we don't like something and she can get us something else. Overall we had an amazing time and all of the staff was top tier read more

Had the best birthday there! Cocktails are a shining light in cstat. Great for adults.

The place for tapas is not what to expect. This is a place for a drink and one tapa. Good to dinner after. The price is on the high end for what you get. I hope you consider going with you eyes open. Three tapas and two beers $60.00. read more

Primrose Path is an upscale place where you'll spend a few hours casually chatting with friends and family over tapas and wine. Tapas means snack or small portion, so--unless you have a small appetite--one plate will not make a meal. What you do get for your money is great food, beverage, service, and ambiance. Our family of 4 tried Primrose Path on a Thursday night. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our table was near the door, and we had no trouble hearing each other throughout the evening. The space is warm, modern, and welcoming. Since it was our first time here, our waiter suggested the number of dishes that likely would satisfy us. When we couldn't decide which chardonnay to order, the manager brought us several samples so we could choose. Very nice. We ordered the fried goat cheese, Catalan crab cakes, fried mozzarella bocconcino, patatas bravas, and chile rellenos. Our waiter told us the food would come out 1-2 plates at a time, which was perfect. He also checked in on us periodically and filled both water and wine glasses. The food itself was delicious. We decided to splurge on dessert and ordered the churros and chocolate pots de creme. These also were delicious. We'll definitely be back when we visit the family members who live here, and they plan to make this their 'special night out' place. read more

Brianna was an EXCELLENT server. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave us the perfect advice for drinks and Apps. I would recommend making a reservation for your Saturday date night and requesting her!!!! Aura was off the charts for this establishment read more

Stopped by on a recent "treat yo self" day not knowing what to expect! With no reservations, you can quickly grab a seat at the bar which is full service. The ambiance is definitely a "special occasion" kind of place but don't let that fool you; its a nice place to stop by for a drink as well. I tried two cocktails, one a special rose flavored & the other on the standard menu. Both were a bit on the sweet side for me and not quite as balanced as I had hoped. But the service was amazing. The bartender did double duty and was super professional. Food wise, it was okay. I've had better cheese boards but it gets the job done. read more

Came here with a party of 3 to celebrate a birthday. It was fun. The atmosphere was pleasant and we were well cared for. We tried a lot of the dishes. The cheese and charcuterie, the crab cakes were our favorite, but the shrimp, balsamic mushrooms, paella, ahi tuna, Tuscan steak, were all delicious. We had the "crianza" Red which paired very well, as well as the peach sangria. We were a little skeptical coming to a tapas place in College Station, but we need not have worried. It was a bit pricey, but for a special dinner it was perfect. We were able to sample so many dishes and we were well satisfied when we left. read more

Great place for tapas and drinks! Service was wonderful (our cups were never empty!). The brussels sprouts were very crispy, which I liked, and the gnocchi was creamy + had good flavor from the smoked pork belly. The steak was cooked a lot more than I would have liked (between medium well and well done). I really liked the truffle butter though! The cinco leches was one of the best parts of our meal (not pictured bc we dug in). The cake was so moist and the berries were macerated with some sort of liquor which really elevated the dish. read more

Really gorgeous venue, brick walls, huge crystal chandelier, charming layout, and best of all, a crazy inviting menu that makes you want to order everything. Add in great bartenders and servers and you've got a winner. One thing they do that I love is your choice of wine in a 3 oz taster, standard 6 oz glass or by the bottle. So for half the price of a glass you can try 2 different wines. They've also got a very good craft beer selection and a nice selection of top shelf liquors (along with a creative cocktail menu). I ordered a cheese plate (lovely selection of high end cheeses with lovely Marconi almonds and fruit goo and crostini). Then I had steak with truffle butter and some sort of magical Brussel sprout dish. Brought home plenty of leftovers. Highly recommended. read more

I was looking for a place to celebrate my birthday that had great cocktails, and Primrose was recommended. It did not disappoint! I really enjoyed the diverse options of cocktails and tapas. I can't wait to go back because there are so many other items I want to try! Austin was our server and he took really great care of us! The overall atmosphere and service was perfect for a Tuesday evening celebration. read more

Without a doubt the most tasteful restaurant in College Station. Lovely service and impeccable ambiance.

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but my recent experience was nothing short of a disaster. I had reservations for 5 PM on a Monday and arrived promptly, expecting a pleasant dining experience. Instead, I was seated outside in the sweltering 95-degree weather, despite having my 8-month-old baby with me. Clearly, an infant can't tolerate such extreme heat for an entire meal without air conditioning. When I politely asked the hostess to seat us inside, she curtly informed me that there was no room, as all tables were reserved. However, we could see numerous open tables inside. To verify this, I checked the reservation website, which still allowed me to make another reservation without any issue--clearly, her claim was false. This blatant dishonesty and lack of empathy for a family with a small child was astonishing. It felt like bringing a baby to this establishment was frowned upon, making us feel unwelcome and undervalued as customers. Ultimately, we left and went to Fish Daddy's Grill, where we had a fantastic time and were treated with the respect and consideration every customer deserves. I strongly urge the management to address this issue. Your staff's attitude and deceitful behavior are unacceptable. I invite the manager to reach out if there are any questions. This experience was profoundly disappointing, and I will not be returning. I strongly urge anyone with children considering coming to this establishment to reconsider as there are plenty of other options out there. (PS. after reading the one star reviews, it seems that this is not the first time this has happened to someone. Hopefully other people filter the reviews and I can save somebody else from wasting their time) read more

I been there for celebrated my boyfriend birthday foods excellent. Service was great. Nice restaurant and cozy atmosphere.

My favorite place in college station! Incredible food. Tapas-style, so ordering lots of small plates is super fun. Doesn't feel like college station, which is awesome! The Alma Negra Malbec Blend wine, bacon wrapped dates, and the Forrest mushroom pizza are my favorites! But I've never tried something I didn't like. read more

Between our group of 5 we split these things: The Queen Margherita Pizza: kinda small but super delicious! We had to sub the pesto sauce for tomato sauce because of a tree nut allergy but still so yummy! The Mornay Mac & Cheese: INCREDIBLE! We all LOVED this!!! Super large portion size Roasted Brussels Sprout: INCREDIBLE!! I loved the flavor with the cherries! It was so fresh & flavorful! Burrata Caprese: super fresh & easy to share!! We loved this! Albondigas: these were delicious! Super filling & paired great with the Mac & Cheese! DRINKS: White peach sangria: so yummy & refreshing!!! Rain drops on roses: didn't love this as much! read more

Primrose Path is a hidden gem you'd more likely find in the big city. Its elegant decor is inviting and the more casual feel makes you want to stay awhile. The staff is young but very knowledgeable and they want to make everything perfect. The food are mainly small sharables and some or our faves are the gnocchi, steak with truffle butter, garlic bread, charcuterie board, shrimp risotto, among others. Its a fun place to sit awhile and share food with friends. Everything we have had has been wonderful. It will become your new favorite place. read more

Wade and his team are great. Small serving items so you can sample lots of different things. The charcuterie boards are incredible and wine selection is great. read more

This place is beautiful. The shareable appetizers delicious. Service was excellent. Drinks and wine!

Great place to celebrate graduations, birthdays, and anniversaries. Was not expecting the tapas to be so good. Loved the ambience inside and the wine wall in the back. Ordered the Calamari Fritto Misto and White Truffled Mushroom flatbread. Both were sooo good! Very fresh and the flavors were so unique. The batter that the calamari was fried in was really tasty and not dry. Loved the truffle oil that was used on the flatbread. Can't wait to try their other dishes. Also got the eternal odyssey drink, it was so light and refreshing! read more
