My husband and I love this restaurant. Everything from the decor, to the service, to the food is amazing. I have tried the salads, steak, crab cake and creme brûlée... all are very good. I love the restaurant decor! The restaurant is classy & sexy with its black walls and leopard prints. The service is always attentive and professional. Everything a real fine dining restaurant needs to be is found at The Prime Rib. There is a parking garage, which is convenient... who wants to search for street parking? One of our favorite restaurants! read more

The best of the best . I always order a special fish. Potato skins for appetizers. You can't find this level of quality and taste anywhere else. Beautiful ambiance. Service top notch. I have been going Prime Rib for years . It is by far my favorite restaurant. I highly recommend. read more

We had a terrible experience at the prime rib. When the food came out there was a giant black hair (which happens) but it took nearly 20 minutes to get anyone's attention. I ended up going to the hostess to tell her because our food was cold by then (who was very kind about everything). It took 30-40 minutes after to even get the dish again. By that time it was late and they just wrapped it up to go home. We had a table in the middle and got shoved by waiters every 2 seconds because they pack in too many tables. For the price of this place, it is not worth it.. I've gotten better food and service at TGI Fridays. read more

A classy, sophisticated steakhouse with a 1940's vibe -- I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and food at The Prime Rib. A Baltimore classic since 1965, the flagship location of this steakhouse (there are two other locations: one in DC, and one in Philadelphia) offers much more than it's name suggests. Based on the (mostly) positive Yelp reviews, my boyfriend and I decided to enjoy a Sunday night date at The Prime Rib recently, and I'm quite glad we did. Upon our arrival, we were greeted graciously by an elegantly-dressed host. Before taking a seat at our table, we decided to first get drinks at the bar. I ordered a glass of Prosecco, while my boyfriend ordered a Dirty Martini -- the bartender was attentive and kind. So far so good. A short while later, we made our way to our table -- which was perfectly intimate -- located in the back corner of the main dining room. Our friendly Australian waiter introduced himself, brought us the wine list and menu, as well as some warm bread for us to nibble on. Given the extensive offerings on The Prime Rib's menu, we ordered what we were craving: that is, Jumbo Lump Crab Cocktail to start, Chicken Breast for me, Salmon for my boyfriend, and Steamed Asparagus and a Baked Sweet Potato for us to share. The Chicken Breast had a slight Terriyaki glaze on it, which was lovely. The Baked Sweet Potato was accompanied by some delicious cinnamon-infused butter on the side. Everything was very tasty, and cooked well. No, we didn't order Prime Rib, and we didn't regret it one bit! Because it was just a dessert kind of night (ya know, just because?), we glanced over the dessert menu, which was appropriately filled with American classics -- from Apple Pie, to Creme Brulee, to Cheesecake, and more. After much deliberation, my boyfriend and I chose to share the Banana Split, which was a delectable, sweet finish to a great meal. We walked away satisfied and happy, and with no complaints. The Prime Rib is perfect for a date night, or for a special occasion -- and a Jazz pianist in the main dining room adds the perfect, special touch to this retro-chic environment. If you're looking for a great restaurant with an extensive menu, for a special night with one person, or with several people, in Baltimore, I certainly recommend you consider The Prime Rib! P.S. Sunday nights are half-off certain wine bottles. We ordered a fabulous bottle of French Red Wine for $24 (the same price of 2 glasses), and took what we didn't finish back with us. It was a win-win! read more

The 14 ounce prime rib was amazing. Great service. Wonderful place to celebrate our 26 year anniversary for dinner.

The food and service was amazing. We went here for our one year anniversary. It was low key, and even had a piano man playing music for the most part. read more

There is little to comment here..,,,,,,, Classic Steakhouse venue with a long history of absolute steadiness of Perfection

We've been coming here for years. It was a favorite of my parents. Hadn't been here in a long time. All the siblings live out of town. My sister & I were down to clean out my mom's condo after her passing. We took the train from NY, went right over at 5PM, and were received professionally and warmly. Sat at the bar, got great service with drinks made expertly to our requests. No pressure, polite and non-intrusive service. Ordered crab cakes w/ sides, and were comped some apps and dessert after the bartender heard our story. Knowing this would likely be the last trip to Baltimore, THIS was the place to go. (We had reservations @ 3 other places, just weren't sure where we'd want to dine.) Greenberg potatoes: delicious, done just right. Crab cakes: excellent lump, no filler, 4 - FOUR - choices of sauces to accompany. The salads - Buzz & House, were filling & flavorful. This is just such a classic, well worth the he trip & expense. A fun app throwback to more formal times, but fortunately the dress code has relaxed, and Sundays they have 1/2 priced bottles of wine. G'hedd hon, izz wurth da trip. read more

This was part three of my restaurant week adventures. I heard so many great things about the Prime Rib and was excited to check it out. First off, the service was excellent, always had my glass filled and was checked on often. They also had wine bottle specials for restaurant week which was a great touch. For the food, I had the tomato soup for appetizer, the filet mignon for entree, and chocolate mousse pie for dessert and they were all top notch! The only thing I will say is that the place is a little stuffy and I felt like the youngest person there. Make sure to dress nice as it is a classy establishment. read more

The Prime Rib is a chain of 3 restaurants and I must say the one in Baltimore blows away the one in Philly. This place is an incredible throwback in time in a good way. The maître d' is in white tie. Waiters in nice neckties. Our waiter was amazing. Voice like James Earl Jones, he has been there since the beginning, 45 years! He seemed to sense our every need without our telling him. The decor is simple and elegant. The restaurant is quiet due to the insulative properties of the decor. It's dark and puts you at ease. Unfortunately we were on tap to visit 3 restaurants in one night but we didn't even have to tell our waiter this. We got out in an hour. I would love to come back and do a proper 3 hours here. Ok food: crab imperial. I was worried everything here would be slathered in fat and salt and be just way too heavy in the stomach but it wasn't. The crab imperial was lightly dressed and the crab shone through beautifully. And wow I could have had 3 orders. Clams casino came out sizzling hot. Great crispy bacon, wonderful. I was scooping out all I could from the shell. Oysters Rockefeller, not ashamed of putting the spinach in it. Very nicely done. Good quantity of cheese. Not the best I've ever had but quite good. The only item that fell short was the cut of the filet mignon and its flavor. We had it with Oscar sauce which was great, full of crab. The asparagus that came with it was perfect. The steak was cooked perfectly but it was too thin. We wondered if that was on purpose due to the height of the Oscar on top? Also the char on the steak was light in color suggesting a lower flame. But hey if that's all that wasn't perfect that's not major. We will come back and give this place the time it deserves. read more

Today's Father's Day and my lovely wife and daughter decided to take me to The Prime Rib this evening. We are major foodies and new to the Maryland / Baltimore scene as Orange County, CA and LA have been our norm. It was a puzzle trying to find this location and not in an area that you would think a fine dining establishment would be located. As we walked in after valet parking, it was very quiet and empty around 4:00 p.m. We were promptly taken to our table #85. As first time diners we quickly learned that most that sat around us knew the drill as repeat customers. I started off with a Manhattan which was very nice. One ice tea and waters for the table completed our beverage list. Bread arrived and my daughter devoured. My wife ordered Escargot which was wonderful. My lobster bisque was very tasty but had very little lobster. While our waiter brought out the bottle of Sherry, he knocked my water over right into my wife's lap. He apologized but no real effort made in service recovery. The experience changed our overall dining and everything else just became basic. My Prime Rib Steak was massive and the thickest steak I ever had. My wife had to put salt and pepper on her Crab Imperial and my daughters chicken remained untouched after a few bites. Wasn't horrible, but didn't excite the palate. We boxed everything to go. Our waiter ran down our options of desserts. I ordered the Warm Apple Pie Ala Mode which came at room temperature. The late was very hot with slightly warm Crist and cold filling. Please be aware: watch your check as the price on the menu is different from the receipt by $1. Yes, not a big deal but after your wife is sitting in ice cold water on her lap and blouse you can understand. No worries, since no service recovery was even attempted I deducted my dessert and the $1 from the tip. This is an establishment that i would recommend for service. If you are looking for that, go to the Charleston. As far as steak and service combined I'll stick with Mastro's. I look forward to any management response. Thanks read more

The Prime Rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Our 1st return to indoor dining in over a year... and we elected to go to our fave celebratory spot...the Prime Rib of Baltimore. Prior to Covid, The PR was always a solid 5. The Prime Rib is our "go to" place for birthdays and anniversaries. Friday 4/16....not so much. We enjoyed our meal and enjoyed just getting to dine indoors immensely. We were 1st to be seated at 5pm to a secluded and safe table for 3. In our dining room, there were only two other couples safely spaced in the dining room. We were informed of the PR policy on masks and our professional waiter, Bradley could not have been more professional and responsive. I ordered the special Manhattan and was disappointing in its taste and it also did not come with the touted and requisite Maraschino Cherry, Bradley immediately returned with two! For my second drink, I asked If PR had Pinch. " Yes of course, right away." Bradley returned somewhat humbled...no Pinch. I then ordered Chivas on the Rocks. My two guests ordered Gin and Tonic and both imbibers were very well satisfied... and both were pleased with extra limes. My two guests ordered Buzz's chop salad and both were ok and as expected and my Wedge Salad was crispy and fresh. Time out... it is a PR tradition to always bring out to the table a warm basket of breads and rolls. Never happened... and we didn't ask and Bradley didn't t offer. If this is a COVID policy, we should have been so advised. I missed the crunchy buttered breads as an accompaniment to any prior PR dinner. Bradley mentioned that one of the Specials... was 1st time this year... Soft Shell crabs. I love soft shells but also prime rib.., I asked if I could have one soft shell as an appetizer...$18.! My Soft shell was, on a scale of 1-5 with 5 a jumbo... my much anticipated appetizer was at best a 3 in size and lean back fin meat... a crunchy fried shell but not at all substantial for the price. Just for comparison purposes, Tio Pepe's soft shells when available are twice the size. My wife and I both had the signature cut Prime Rib medium rare...no bone and sinfully delicious...and perfectly prepared. The Greenberg potato skins were according to my wife " a signature dish...to die for". I on the other hand ordered a baked potato, knowing that in the past, the PR baked potatoes were large and easily shared. I was shocked that the baked potato on my plate was just of average size and thus quite pricey @ $9. The baked potato was hot and tasty but remarkably small and underwhelming for PR expectations. My other guest raved over her NY strip..and Bradley offered that it's his favorite! No dessert but all three loved our decaf cappuccino. All told, good dinner but no bread, small potato, weak Manhattan, no Pinch, and small sized Soft Shell. We were thrilled that the Prime Rib is able to have in house seating albeit still limited. All waiters were masked and diner tables are extremely well spaced. We felt very safe and sated. I expect as business bounces back post Covid, Prime Rib will reinstitute the bread basket, bigger baked potatoes and larger soft shells. read more

I've always had good experience everytime I came here. In my opinion, this location's a lot better than the one in DC; It's more consistent (and cheaper!). Signature Cut Prime Rib ($41) - The meat, flavor, everything's just excellent.The cut has a little bit of fat, which's great for extra aroma & flavor. They serve horse radish roots (instead of the typical sauce), which compliment the prime rib very nicely. Roasted Tomato Soup ($9) - A bit on the peppery than your usual, however, it's great. Mashed Potatoes ($8) - Delicious. It got a little bit of chunks of potato there, which's a plus for me. Creamy Spinach ($9) - Not bad. I could skip this one next time though. Service = Amazing. The servers definitely know what they're doing. They're extremely nice, polite, professional & knowledgeable. The one I got was cracking up jokes all night lol. P.S.: To the guys out there, make sure you wear a suit for dinner. Otherwise, no entry or they'll make you wear their rental jacket lol. Oh, and they got complimentary valet!!! read more

Love, Love, Love this place, the chef is FANTASTIC, steak melted in my mouth, snails were the best I've ever had , seasoning is wonderful, I was so impressed by my mean that I requested to meet him, he was modest, but he is a very good chef, this is my favorite restaurant read more

Even though I asked for a table on the porch, I guess I was not clear. We were seated on a banquette, which was so uncomfortable as I sat on the seam! Edward, our server, was pleasant enough, but failed at making sure our needs were met. I told him that I was a big water consumer. I had to ask for water four (4) times. He even said at one point that they did not have enough pitchers, or he would just leave one on the table. Hmmm. We were there to enjoy the Restaurant Week menu. The restaurant was packed and very noisy. We enjoyed the company of our friends. Our salads were fine. Our friend ordered the Imperial Crab and declared it delicious. Three of us ordered the Prime Rib, which was tough. We all were very disappointed in the beef, especially since this is their specialty. The desserts, as always, were delicious and fresh. The Prime Rib did not live up to its reputation for us last night. read more

Any self-respecting carnivore must visit this Baltimore institution at least once; restaurant week afforded me (literally) the perfect opportunity to visit after many years of yearning. Being that this is one of the most expensive restaurants in the area, it should come as no surprise that scoring a reservation during restaurant week is akin to winning the lottery. Due to the popularity we had to settle for a Sunday reservation at 8:30, but you won't hear me complaining. We arrived 15 minutes late but were graciously received by the host who promptly showed us to our table. Had it not been for the complimentary valet we would have arrived much later trying to find a parking spot. My first impression of the restaurant was elegance and sophistication. The Prime Rib definitely attracts an older crowd, but my party (all of us in our 30s) did not feel out of place. The complimentary bread was delivered promptly, followed by the salad course. The bread was amazing, the seasoning was reminiscent of an everything bagel; and the house salad was one of the best I've had. The restaurant week website did not indicate that ordering the prime rib would be extra; but what's $5 when, in reality, you are saving so much more? We were told that adding the imperial crab is an option for an additional $5- sold! The wait time for the entree was only about 20 minutes although, due to my eagerness, felt like much longer. The meal did not disappoint. Although the creamed spinach left much to be desired, the prime rib was cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes were creamy. The cabernet that our waiter,Travis, recommended went perfectly with the meal and it was one of the best wines I've had. Usually I don't have room for dessert but I made an attempt with the chocolate mousse pie and I'm so glad I did. It was very light and decadent- perfect after such a heavy meal. My only regret was not ordering a cup of coffee to go with it. There were some areas that could be improved. First, the bathrooms could have been a lot cleaner. Also, the restaurant felt incredibly cramped. One of the chairs at our table was literally touching the chair at the next table which made things a little awkward. Because we were so close together we felt pressure to be mindful of our voice level. However, I really liked that the restaurant was not loud and it made it easy to have a conversation. And although there were some missteps with the service (a forgotten drink that we were later comped for, and a cup of coffee ordered at the beginning that we did not receive but decided to not make a fuss over); our waiter, Travis, did an exceptional job making everything as seamless as possible. He played as an integral role in the experience as the food and I made mission of seeking him out before leaving to, again, extend my gratitude for such exceptional service. read more

The Prime Rib - Prime rib, medium rare, with imperial crab - Steakhouses Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place doesn't do justice to the DC Prime Rib, one of my all time favs. I really don't want to give any stars but we went during Restaurant Week so maybe they were not on their A-game. However, the decor here matches the level of service- stuck in the 60s. My party of beautiful, professional, educated women were treated like they wanted us to go wash dishes in the kitchen. It was terrible. The table next to us of elderly people who must be regulars requested to move because we apparently were having a good time talking and laughing. Certainly not allowed in a restaurant ever! After that, it went downhill. The food was pretty good but not necessarily better than other chain steakhouses. Just wasn't impressed like I was at their DC location. Waiter acted like it was a chore to serve us and busboys were inconsistent. We asked for seperate checks, but were given a group check. Gratuity was not included. Apparently, the waiter didn't think we would tip him well so he took some of the cash given for the split check. He actually accused us of not giving enough. I told him to just charge my card the remainder of what we owed. Didn't do that because he wanted the cash. Manager was requested and did nothing. Amazingly, said money may have fallen under the table! It was the most ridiculous thing I had ever experienced at ANY restaurant. After that, we sat there for an hour being completely ignored. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with this place. read more

Went here with the wife for our first anniversary dinner. (Full disclosure: if it weren't for my mom's lovely anniversary present of a gift card to this place, we never would have set foot inside. If the word "budget" is part of your daily vocabulary in regards to your personal income, this place is a little out of reach.) Yes, the prime rib was like something out of a burgeoning chef's fever dream. Yes, the ambiance was a vintage-lovers paradise and the live, soft piano music added a welcome layer to the romantic atmosphere. But the real reason I loved The Prime Rib and am willing to save pennies all year so we can go again wasn't just the food or the air of grandeur. It was our waiter, Travis. All of the servers and waiters here seem to be exceptional people, we were lucky enough to get Travis. He made what was a very imposing meal into a relaxed, enjoyable experience without even breaking a sweat. For example, when he learned it was our anniversary, his congratulations was heartfelt. When he noticed that my wife was only ordering a salad and vegetarian sides, he got the kitchen to make her a veggie-friendly side dish platter to count as one meal, including a beautiful cheese-stuffed broiled tomato that wasn't on the menu (as I recall). He was kind, patient, and checked up on us just as much as the table next to us with 6 people at it. He even brought us a free dessert at the end of the meal, which might be company policy, but the warm congratulatory smile certainly wasn't. He gave the kind of service I wish I could receive everywhere, but I know is a selfish and unrealistic wish. So if you find yourself with $150 to spare (or saved up for a special occasion), I recommend spending it here. And ask for Travis. read more

The Prime Rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Huge fall from grace. Used to go here on all birthday occasions and was blown away by the quality of the steaks and overall how amazing the food was. Past tense is the key here. Went last night and outside of the Greenberg's potatoes the rest of the meal was incredibly poor. Here is our breakdown: Drinks: Piney 5/5 Appetizer: Oysters casino: 1/5 - bacon was barely cooked and the oysters were uncomfortably large. Ceaser salad: 3/5 - nothing special and light on the dressing Bread : 5/5 Mains: Crab cakes : 2/5 - no lump meat and no flavor my wife didn't even finish 1 of them Ny strip : 1/5 - poorly seasoned and did not appear to be cooked on broiler like previous occasions. Also had an incredibly overpowered bad taste ...could not put my finger on it but it was horrible Dessert : ice cream sundae :2/5 Overall: not going back read more

OMG what a beautiful place. The ambiance is really nice. There is live music. Tonight we were serenaded by piano. A little tight to maneuver. We made reservations during restaurant week and so glad we did. We were seated right away and was immediately taken cared of. I ordered the Caribbean Punch, which was very good. Our meal included a starter, a choice of an entreee, and dessert. I jad the Caesar salad and my husband had the Roasted Tomato Soup. For our entrees, my husband had the filet mignon and for $5 extra the Prime Rib both cooked medium rare. For dessert, he had Key Lime Pie and I had the Creme Brulee along with double shot of espresso and a cup of coffee. Everything was cooked beautifully. The sour note: the side garnish of horseradish could be left off the plate, too spicy, bitter and disgusting. Bathroom could use some dusting as well as the booths. Other than that we were pleased and will be back especially for the coffee and Creme Brulee! Sad there is no way to take it to go. read more

This is the greatest steakhouse in our solar system. That is a fact, not an opinion. If you hear otherwise, that is fake news. If I could pick only one restaurant to eat at my whole life, this would be it. In fact, if I could pick one place to spend the rest of my life, this would be it. Stop reading other reviews written by uptight protein starved vegans and trust me, this is the place where you want to eat beef. I'm sure other places are fine, but if you're eating beef somewhere else then you're wasting your money and might as well eat a filthy piece of road kill you mongrel. Don't eat road kill. Eat Prime Rib. read more

4.5 stars. I'd say The Prime Rib's restaurant week menu is probably the most generous and satisfying out of all the other restaurants that partake in the week-long food craze. If you take a look at its regular menu, you'll know that the restaurant week dinner price is a steal. Dining here with the fiancee means I get to try two of each course. Not bad, eh? The roasted tomato soup was not your normal tomato soup. It definitely had a positive kick to it and was quite enjoyable. The caesar salad was as expected and didn't disappoint. The complimentary bread was also quite appetizing. The filet mignon was decent. Considering this cut of meat, I was impressed with its relatively sizable portion. However, taste-wise, I'd say it's average. Not as tender as I'd anticipated. The special prime rib (add $4), however, was delicious, tender, and juicy. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was big enough for me to bag 1/4 of it and bring it home. The sides were also great, especially the creamed spinach. Dessert kicked butt. We had the key lime pie and the chocolate mousse. Both were incredibly amazing. The chocolate mousse especially hit the spot. Our server was amiable, but was probably overworked that day. Even on a weekday, restaurant week made The Prime Rib extremely busy. So, understandably, service was slower than expected. One final tip: Don't be under-dressed. read more

Food is always great. Service has been great up until tonight. Had a waiter named Mark- he was TERRIBLE. IN ATTENTIVE. RUDE. DID NOT OFFER TO REFILL OR ORDER DRINKS. CAME FOR DESSERT ORDER AND TOOK THE COUPLES ORDER WE WERE With , never offered us dessert. Did not offer coffee at end of meal. When we asked him about some up charges we have never noticed on our bill- he was rude and arrogant. "Pinny"drink cost extra $8 because it was served in martini glass- which we did not ask for. That was in addition to the$18 drink cost. My husband ordered crown on the rocks. They charged him $2.50 for " rocks" or ice! Really??? We eat at this establishment often with our friends- NEVER AGAIN! When you get rid of Mark - maybe we'll return. read more

Our go to restaurant for birthday celebrations. Love the romantic atmosphere and of course the wonderful menu and service.

The wife and I tried it for the first time for restaurant week. The food was incredible, the service was also incredible and the our waiter was absolutely awesome. The wife always orders a filet wherever we go. I usually mix it up, so I ordered and ate the best prime rib I have ever had. Made to absolute perfection. Our waiter, Matt was so cordial, professional and attentive to our every need, we had no time to ask for anything, he should teach a class to other fine restaurants in the area. We have been to practically every fine restaurant in Baltimore and the service at the Prime Rib was the best. Thank You Matt for a perfect dining experience. Judith and Steven G. read more

The Prime Rib - Tummy was so full I had to cover it... Yum. One of our many visits to the Prime - Steakhouses Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Another Restaurant Week selection! Dinner was packed with people and we were led through the crowded dining room to a two-top against a wall, on the other side of the busser's station. It was a tight spot and workers kept coming out from behind me all night. My husband got the tomato soup as appetizer, prime rib entree, and key lime pie for dessert. I got the Caesar salad, petit filet mignon, and chocolate mousse pie. The soup was, actually, very flavorful whereas the salad was kinda pedestrian. We both thought the filet mignon was the better entree selection, although it was pretty dinky. The prime rib was a nice portion. Dessert favorite was the key lime pie. It was nicely tart! All in all, though, Restaurant Week prices can't be beat. Service was very attentive. The interior is 1970's style Art Deco, dark and glossy, It was a fun throw-back. read more

The Prime Rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Amazing food and fantastic service. Pricey, but worth it for the only place I've been in Baltimore that will actually cook you a rare steak.

I hadn't been here in at least 30 years, and my spouse never had, so I surprised him for his birthday, and boy, and I'm glad I did. Everything was perfect!! From the welcoming greeting when we arrived, to our choice of a seat in the dining room with soft live piano jazz. Jimbo was our server, and he was fabulous--amusing, attentive, with great menu suggestions, making us feel as though we were very special guests. And the food!!! Jimbo recommended the oysters (on the halfshell), which may have been the best we've ever had (and we've had plenty). We moved right on to the main event--an amazing filet, cooked impeccably (of course), and I had a crab cake, which was excellent. The sides of asparagus, and spinach sauteed with shallots and garlic were generous and delicious. Drinks were spot on, and then the surprise birthday dessert was a very nice touch. Didn't have enough room for my dessert, so we ordered key lime pie to go. It too was excellent. Definitely throwback decor, but we found it really comfortable. The noise level allowed us to have a conversation, but also enjoy the music. When we decided to leave, Jimbo was magically there with the check, which was taken care of promptly. We casually checked the time when we left, and were amazed that the 2 hours had been so perfectly timed we had no idea how long we'd been there. Just wish I had more reasons to splurge at the Prime Rib! read more

Mother's Day Dinner. Prompt and helpful waitstaff. I observed our waiter at some points observing us (and his other tables) from an obscure corner to see if we would be in need of anything so most times, if we needed something our waiter was already on it before we even asked. And he never did it in a "rushing" manner. Now that's 5 star service. Food was good too...3 people got a filet mignon that was cooked to each of our preferences. My dad enjoyed his prime ribeye at the waiter's suggestion. He even had my dad to cut into the steak to make sure it was cooked to his specification. It was. Honestly one of the best lobster bisques we've had. The lobster meat in it was even cooked to perfection. The veggies were done well. Portions good - I was stuffed, could not finish everything. Surprisingly expansive dessert menu. The hot fudge sundae (with A SIDE OF HOT FUDGE), as big as it was, got finished. So the food was flawless, the waitstaff was superb, the restaurant itself is cozy and upscale, complete with a piano player playing classical numbers. The 4 stars is because even with all of this, i don't think it was worth the $400+ ($100+ per person) price tag. I know you can find a great venue with equally good food for about half the price... read more

A few coworkers and I decided to visit during their 50th anniversary promotion. I highly recommend coming for the promo, which is running through 10/31. 3 course prix fixe meal for $50, which includes a side. Appetizers: We ordered these which aren't included in the promo, but were not disappointed. Oysters Rockefeller and Shrimp Cocktail were both great. Shrimp were huge! If anything, the oysters rockefeller were a little bland. Salads as part of prix fixe: House salad or Ceasar. Both were great. House salad included cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, chopped egg. Not overly dressed. Entrees as part of prix fixe: I of course ordered the prime rib. Can't go wrong. I may never order anything else here than this. Which is a shame because the salmon filet and crab cakes that my friends ordered looked very good too. Minor point: the crab cake is cooked very lightly. Outside is browned, but the inside is barely cooked. Not an issue for me if I had it, as it looked to be all lump crab meat with just a minimum of binding, but my friend wished she ordered it to be cooked longer. Sides as part of prix fixe: Broccoli Rabe was the hit. Mashed potatoes were very creamy and smooth. Baked potato was the size of a small baby (ok, maybe not that big, but it was damn big). Loved the creamed spinach as well. Dessert as part of prix fixe: Creme brulee and key lime pie. Beware of the key lime pie. It is very tart. I knew this and I love it. But I can see how someone can think it's very overpowering. Creme brulee had no complaints. Me personally, I'm all creme-bruleed out, as everyone restaurants has it now, and most are plain/bland/boring. Additional notes: Two friends had moscatos and both loved them. I had a very well made gin and tonic. Two orders of chocolate martini were sent back because it was all alcohol -- too overwhelming to enjoy. My cappuccino was good. We pigged out as you can see. It came out to be $90 average, it is definitely a splurge, but it was a great meal with nothing held back. Highly recommend. read more

If you have not eaten at The Prime Rib, you need to go. Ideally during restaurant week. Everything here is amazing. Needless to say, the Prime Rib is the star of the show. The sides, creamed spinach and mashed potatoes are always solid. The Key Lime Pie is a great dessert. I visit every year for restaurant week. read more

My husband I would go to The Prime Rib back in the 60s. We don't live in Btown and we never wanted to go anywhere else when we visited the city. The potato skins are outstanding and the prime rib was wonderful. The fresh horseradish was definitely a star with the prime rib. There was a painting on the wall of a girl in a red dress and my husband tried to buy it but it simply wasn't for sale at any price.

Great ambience. Very classic steakhouse vibe. Food was good, but for the price it really should have been better. The people sitting next to us sent back a steak sandwich. How does a steak sandwich get sent back?!? Service was good considering how busy it was. I'd go back for a cocktail or a burger. But if you want a great tasting steak, maybe try somewhere else. read more

A group of us have been coming to The Prime Rib for 20 years, but I will not return. The cost are high, and anyone who has dinned there knowns that. Our last bill was over $1,300 for 8 people. During that dinner, the service was anything but good. Twice we had to get up and find a manager or find our server. We were there for over 3 hours, while other large parties were seated and served. Several of us ordered the prime rib as it was the thing to order at this place, but it was not the high quality that we were accustom to receiving. read more

I got to check out The Prime Rib during Restaurant Week and I am so glad I did. It was recommended by a bunch of different people and I felt out of the loop for not having been there already. When I arrived I loved how everything was laid out and the bar right near the entrance really set the mood and gave the place a classic vibe/feel. We were seated in the back of the restaurant near a few larger tables and honestly that was pretty ideal as it wasn't too noisy and easy to carry on a conversation. Went with the Restaurant week menu so got to choose each different course. Went with the Caesar Salad, Filet Mignon topped w/ Crab Stuffing, and Key Lime Pie. Which were all absolutely amazing and would definitely recommend. There were also sharing sizes of spinach and mashed potatoes on the table which were also great. The Filet Mignon was extremely flavorful and I had it prepared medium-rare which was great for how I like it. Would definitely recommend anyone there add the crab on top of it because it gave it that noticeable and unique flavor and texture that really made things memorable. Will definitely be back for next big occasion or celebration as obviously things can get a little pricey! read more

My boyfriend and I came here mistakingly thinking restaurant week applied for the whole week. It doesn't so make sure you check before coming. It's only for the weekend. But our dinner and service was amazing regardless. We started with the caviar which was quite expensive which would have been fine but i wasn't amazed by it. However that may just be because I'm not a huge caviar person. It was my first time trying it. But the prime rib and rack of lamb where both amazing. I haven't had lamb that good ever. It was incredible juicy and well flavored. My boyfriend loved his prime rib as well. The sides we ordered were underwhelming. It seemed to just be cooked with a slight dash of salt. Not much seasoning or flavor. But the meat was worth the trip hands down. read more

The Prime Rib is a staple in Baltimore fine dining. Perhaps one of the "oldest school" restaurants around, it maintains a very traditional yet swanky feel with oldtime service and a feeling of yesteryear. The dress code has relaxed slightly in recent years, and you won't be turned away for not having a jacket, but you'd feel most at home in some very nice clothes. The food is fantastic -- highly recommend you order the Creamed Spinach. It's a steakhouse staple, but The Prime Rib makes one of the best I've had. The menu includes a variety of proteins, but you'd be foolish to miss the steak and prime rib options. The bone-in ribeye is massive and cooked to order, turning out perfection every single time. The prime rib comes out to your preference, though you'd be mistaken asking for anything over Medium, because it has been perfectly roasted and seasoned to provide you a juicy masterpiece. The last time we ordered raw oysters, they were the size of a football, which isn't my wife's preference, but they were definitely very good. Just be sure to ask if you're going to fill up on them before you decide to order the 32oz ribeye... read more

I had a really great experience. I went here last night for my boyfriend's birthday. The ambiance was so tranquil. Jimbo, our server was very attentive, he didn't miss a beat. He definitely earned his tip. They make you feel like your the only patron there. I definitely will be returning. read more

The Prime Rib is an absolute classic steak house that will leave you satisfied and feeling special for it. The signature prime rib with fresh julienned horseradish is a sure winner, but they also do a very nice job with other cuts. We just did a private event there, so I was able to sample beyond the usual prime rib order, and the pork chop, crabcakes, and NY strip all delivered. Absolute must side dishes and appetizers include the heart of palm salad, grilled artichoke hearts, potato skins, and creamed spinach. Also refreshing for a steakhouse is that there are good values to be found on the wine list. The atmosphere is also one-of-a-kind. read more
