Dinner menu
Kristin ..

We were very excited to try this place on our stop through Steamboat, particularly the duck three ways. Unfortunately they just changed their menu a couple of days before. I didn't find their cocktail list to be very exciting, their seasonal gin & tonic contained pimento. We ordered the potato leek soup, Chilean Sea Bass, braised short rib, with the bread service and the pan fried mushrooms. This was more than enough for three people to share. Hands down our favorite was the potato leek soup. Velvety and smooth with a nice depth of flavor. Loved the bacon cheese pomme frite addition. The Chilean Sea Bass was a bit disappointing though. Being my absolute favorite fish, I was excited, but it really lacked seasoning and flavor. And I wasn't expecting the bed on olives. I knew it had some but it was quite substantial. Fish was cooked well though. The braised short rib was good. Nothing amazing. Enjoyed the polenta but couldn't taste the horseradish at all. The service here was phenomenal. Really enjoyed the ambiance as well. I think we were just expecting more out of the food.

Chips and caviar

What an amazing experience!! Sara and I came in for dinner after a girls ski day in Steamboat. We didn't have reservations which was a bad idea but we waited patiently while they found us a couple seats at the bar. The head chef or possibly the owner, not sure, came over and said they would definitely get us some seats if we could just hang out for a bit. Everyone was so nice and made us feel so welcomed instead of making us feel bad for not having reservations. We grabbed a couple of dirty martinis from the main bar and hung out for a bit. Once seated at the cozy little bar in the back we had an amazing time. The bar staff was so friendly and everyone gave us lots of positive attention. This is one amazing staff. Now the food.. we were feeling bougie so we ordered the chips and caviar, oysters and table side steak. I'm not a big meat eater but when in primrose this is what you do!!! And it did not disappoint. The chips were actually potato skins and the sour cream mixture with the chives and topped with the caviar was divine. The steak was melt in your mouth and the check comes over and cuts it for you table side with some smoke effects. It's a big to do!! The sommelier came over allnd helped us with our wine bottle choose for the evening because they have quite an extensive and amazing list. All in all this place rocks and we saw all walks of people in there. It can be super casual or really fancy which ever you're in the mood for all are welcome!!

Wowww!! We canceled our plans so we could come back another day! We loved this place! Alan makes an amazing espresso martini. Sash (Sarah Ashley) took care of us and she did a wonderful job! The food was fantastic. I recommend sitting at the kitchen bar so you can watch all the amazing food going out. Also, happy hour is a must and the burger was the best in town!

Haven't really had the chance to deep dive into all that Steamboat has to offer, however, Primrose looked promising. From its interior decor, wine selections, and entrees, it looked like it would not disappoint, and it certainly didn't. Upon entrance, there is bar seating to the left with enough televisions for watching anything. With three tv's, it looked like one tv for every two bar seats. Too the right of the entrance is another type of bar seating, but one that not many restaurants provide, the Chef's Table, where there is an open viewing to the chefs and cooks preparing your meals. For the meal we had the Primrose Salad ($14), which was basically an arugula salad drizzled with vinaigrette and a bit of cranberry sweetness. That was an appetizer to the main dish, medium rare 14oz Ribeye Steak ($61) with a side of Miso Creamed Corn ($12)... Oh my goodness, that steak was incredible. Perfectly juicy from every meaty and fatty bite. They served it sitting on a house sauce which was delicious in itself, but certainly could have been fine without. Can't forget to mention that the creamed corn was a perfect compliment to the steak. All in all, it was very good. Come without reservations, sit at a high table, chefs table, or like we saw, plan a party with a big group. Primrose was a great choice.

Alas, I've been wanting to dine here the last 18x we've been to Steamboat, CO, but always end up elsewhere. Or we have kids in tow that want pizza...so finally we made it and it was everything I expected, PERFECTION! If you want a hot date with the spouse or partner, take them here and bedazzled. Peaches & Burrata: helluyeahhhhh! I am not typically a fan of fruit in my food, but I do love burrata cheese and I was willing to make an exception. I am so glad I did! This app was delicious, as you can tell from our licked clean plate! While I mostly ate the ball of burrata, the peach touches were perfect. This is one app not to skip on. We almost did, and I am so glad we didn't. Primrose Salad: it has Primrose in the title, so it has to be great, right? It was! It was all the right balances of bitterness from the arugula, the citrus from the dressing, the tart from the cranberries, and the crunch of pistachios. Honestly, we may have had a fork match over this one. Again, pictures are telling and we didn't leave much. Wagyu Denver Steak: now for the best part! The steaks on the menu caught my eye, and I wanted to try the 28 day Aged Prime Black Angus, but the smallest cut was 32oz. My back up was the Wagyu Denver Steak. Yeah...it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Perfectly med-rare, porcini crusted (even if you don't like mushrooms, try it porcini crusted, trust me!) added a nice edge to it, and even the simple side of green beans were perfect (not over or undercooked). The demiglace was subtle, did not take away from the flavor of the steak. I highly recommend this steak! Farmers Market Pasta: this is vague on the menu for a reason, because it isn't always the same. This one was a fresh pea and mushroom mix, tossed with chitarra pasta and a blended pea/mint/basil sauce. Oh, and we added the prawns to this dish, and those were so big and juicy! A nice touch to this dish. Oy Vey, I need a cart to roll me outta this place! Mushroom Medley: the side dish of mushrooms was bland and boring, in comparison to the rest of our dinner. Sweet Corn Ice Cream & Warm Cookie: as if we could stuff more in, being Iowans, we HAD to try the sweet corn ice cream. It. Was. Awesome! Not like it sounds, exactly, it's more like a French vanilla ice cream on steroids. You just have to try it, and apparently they're known for their chocolate chip cookies. We can see why! Just...you just gotta try this, too! No room for anything else, I had to go home and lay down after that meal, but it was worth every calorie. It's not a cheap meal ($300 for the two of us) but you're also at one of the nicest places in Steamboat so don't skip on Primrose; I promise you won't regret it!

Steak skewers. Chimichurri and the cream were great

In Steamboat this week and had to find some good places to eat. Although we intended to eat more off dinner menu we went with some happy hour food deals. Got the chips and dip, streak skewers and the burger. We also got the bread and butter service that was a must. Overall was excellent on food, service and ambiance. We sat outside which maybe was a tad warm but it was great. Cal took great care of us and all staff were routinely filling waters and clearing plates. 2 small things to improve maybe a little salt in the dip with the chips and skewers were pretty small so don't want to think that is a filling appetizer (although flavor was excellent)!

The team mentioned that the special seating was because we had booked so far ahead, which I really appreciated. It was a thoughtful touch that made the night feel even more special. The service was also amazing! My drink was not what I expected and they were willing to comp and give me a new drink, which was very nice. Our dishes: - blue claw crab - dip / pancetta / chimichurri / whipped ricotta/ crackers (SO YUM) - carpaccio* - bison / roasted mushroom aioli / arugula salad / crispy parmesan (one of my favorite dishes, MUST!) - beets salad - pumpernickel / sheep down under / arugula / orange marmalade / pistachio (good!) - gnocchi special - diver scallops - shaved truffle / lemon / saffron arancini / 10 year balsamic (really tasty, well cooked!) - pork chop - 16oz hayden fresh / cider brine / kiss of smoke / apple butter (my FAVORITE) - crispy potatoes - truffle parmesan / pistachio pesto / black pepper aioli (better than expected!) - bread pudding bourbon anglaise / vanilla bean / cinnamon Although pricey, I would go back in the future!

It's a "nicer" restaurant. Most people were dressed pretty nicely, which fits the ambiance - definitely a little more upscale. Most recently, we walked in at 6:30pm on a Saturday and sat down at the bar. For food, We got the bread with butter and the wagyu beef. For the price to portion ratio, I was slightly disappointed with the wagyu. The strips were already sliced and cooked on each side, which I thought was strange. I was expecting to pick a temperature and cut into it myself. The bread was super super super good! Can't go wrong here. Lastly, the cocktails. AMAZING. I had the spicy "mocktail" but added an infused tequila and it was so good. So spicy but it didn't linger, stayed on the lips and mouth, perfect amount of spice. One of the best drinks I've had in a really long time

The beer was ice cold, hot toddy's were customizable and delicious, and burgers were yummy and worth the return trip. I gave this a 4 star only because the sweet potato fries were oddly large, tasteless, and overcooked along with the chili which was incredibly dry and basically inedible. I'm thinking this was because of how late we showed up though so I won't hold that against them. The rest of our visit was amazing so we will definitely be back!

The bar area with the TV seems a little out of place, but I like sports so I'm good with it. The staff were incredibly, incredibly knowledgeable about their food. Most knowledgeable waitress I've probably ever encountered. We ordered the Wild Mushroom Arancini and Whipped Feta & Bruschetta for the table and together they were the perfect appetizer for four people. I'm usually not a fan of wild mushrooms, but it worked well with the crispy arancini. The whipped feta & bruschetta was a nice cooling change of pace, but I wish they gave you a couple more bread bits. For an entree I went with the interesting pork cheeks. They are literally pig cheeks, like the cheeks from their face. And I absolutely loved them! They reminded me a bit of chicharrones, but softer. They were supposed to be sriracha based, but I barely tasted sriracha, so that left me wanting more. The broccolini made up for it, but that's because broccoli/lini makes everything better. Definitely make this a stop when you're in Steamboat Springs.

We walked in and the hostess was eating a piece of pizza, which I thought was funny. But now looking back, it definitely set the tone for the evening.

Cocktails & Wine: served up by our friendly bartender were quite perfect... including my "Perfect Manhattan". 2. Mushroom Bisque: thick, rich & earthy with not only finely ground mushroom pieces throughout, but also had slices of mushroom to further the experience. If I could say even one "drawback" to the delicious melange, it would be that the "cup" was huge-- more like what the "bowl" should have been, but I couldn't stop enjoying it, so I was pretty sated after the first course. 3. Caesar Salad: we split the awesome salad with crisp romaine, dressed well, little crisp parm wheels, and a parm-butter-cheese-dollop-custard-thingy that we ate with the crostini & on the salad... crazy interesting & yummy! 4. Buffalo Ricotta Agnolotti: hand made pasta is hard to beat, and these were no exception. Lovely sizable packets of goodness filled with just the right amount of creamy ricot. 5. Glazed Beef Short Rib: The GF dish (which doesn't matter to me) was equally as decadent as the rest of the meal. At one point, I gave the juicy short rib a funny look, and it felt apart on its own because it was sooo tender! ;-) All in all, YVK was firing on all cylinders... one of the best meals we've had in quite some time!
