The staff is all wonderful and welcoming, I've left smiling every single time I've gone. I strongly encourage everyone not to let the wait time deter you, they make the food fresh and to order. I've had the chicken kebab, chicken shawarma, fries, wings, chicken tenders, borscht, Pelmeni, and honey cake. I haven't had a single thing from here that I haven't absolutely devoured and finished not wanting more of. Just an absolutely outstanding place to go and worth every minute and penny.

Definitely glad we did, because I'd highly recommend getting a reservation here. We went on a Saturday around noon and found out they do a buffet brunch until 3pm. I wasn't expecting that at all, but it ended up being awesome. The shrimp and grits were amazing. I don't know what they put in those grits, but they were seriously scrumptious. The chicken wings and sliders were also really good. The place itself is really nice and well put together. Our server was good too and even gave us some recommendations for breweries in the area, which was appreciated. Overall, great food, great service, and a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

The lobster bisque is the best I've ever had. The house salad is yummy with the garbanzo beans, pepitas and vinaigrette dressing. The pork chop is unbelievable. The glaze in the carrots that accompany the pork chop are incredible. I ordered the Cobb salad with grilled shrimp and it was delicious. Service is always on point and the entire staff is always so friendly. The inside is like an upscale sports bar meets a nice restaurant with the coach's memorabilia throughout the space as well as a podcast room in the middle of the restaurant. If you are lucky, you might even get to see coach while you are there!

We've been looking for a Brazilian restaurant because I really miss a small, family-owned spot on…read moreCape Cod, and it's been way too long since I've had authentic Brazilian food. So, of course, we found this place on Yelp, and you know I had to try it! Let's start with our arrival. It honestly didn't even look like there was a restaurant there! The building looks almost like apartments or condos, but let me tell you: this place is a hidden gem tucked away in this little neighborhood. If it's raining, I would recommend making a reservation because the restaurant is small inside, but it is totally worth it! They do offer bar style seating as well as outside seating. We absolutely loved the authentic vibe. We had multiple servers who all took great care of us, and I believe one of our servers was named Mateo. He was fabulous at explaining the menu to us. I was telling him how much I missed the little Brazilian spot we used to have up on Cape Cod and how much we travel, and he was so friendly and helpful. I started with a Peach Bellini, which tasted like they literally squeezed a fresh peach right into the glass. It was SO fresh and refreshing! For an appetizer, we ordered the QUEIJO COALHO, and let me tell you, this might be the yummiest appetizer I've ever had! The glaze was sweet and absolutely perfect, and the cheese was cooked just right. It had that delicious little crunch without being too much. The sweetness was the little cheat I needed before my meal. Next up was my PICANHA GRELHADA. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the rice had such delicious flavor. The sautéed onions were the perfect match on top. I feel like sometimes restaurants skimp out on the onions, but there were SO many here that almost every bite of steak had some, and I loved every minute of it! My rice was cooked perfectly, so it was fresh, light, and fluffy. The fries were crispy, and crunchy, which I also enjoyed. The steak was a little more fatty than what I'm used to. Where I'm from up North, they usually slice some of that off for you, so this was actually my first time having a full cut of picanha. Although, when I brought some home to my cat, he absolutely LOVED the fat. Overall, I really loved the decor and the vibe of this place. If you're looking for romantic date night, this is the place to go! We can't recommend this place enough. The friendly service, delicious food, and authentic Brazilian cuisine, spices, and flavors were absolutely wonderful. It honestly made me miss Cape Cod and brought back memories of the little family-owned place I loved there. We highly recommend this hidden gem for your next Brazilian date night!

My server was very nice and helpful with any questions I had. I ordered off of their lunch menu and got the chicken teppanyaki which came with soup, salad, fried rice, and veggies. The soup and salad came out pretty quick. The soup was good and had pieces of fried onion and mushroom in it. The salad was ok but overly drenched in the dressing. The lunch portion was huge for the chicken teppanyaki. It came with fried rice, veggies, and chicken. The fried rice was bland and did need the yum yum sauce to jazz it up. I wish the plate came with more veggies rather than the onions as the veggies were cooked very good. Also, the veggies were very fresh - I would definitely order them again. Overall for $16 this was a great lunch and value.

And on Sat and Sun they have a brunch menu, and we saw an item on the brunch menu we absolutely love the beignets, and as fate would have it they somehow were out of them, not off to a good start. We ended up ordering a couple other appetizers, they came out quick, and hot. And i was so ready to try their burger, it was ok, decent size and i got just the basic condiments with it , they put everything on the side so you can add it as you wish. Wife got a BLT and biscuits and gravy. We both left with a full belly. They also have a drink menu for brunch we chose the mango bellini , very tasty. Our server was very friendly and checked on us numerous times. Definitely worth a stop , next time i wanna try their pizzas.

We both opted for what I will call Chicken flanks. We each got 4 halves of chicken breasts that were done with buttermilk breading before cooking. Just so delicious. I used honey on mine and he had a sweet and spicy sauce. The waffles have a strawberry butter, that is amazing and we used regular syrup. I can not say enough about our server who kept drinks full and was interested truly in what we thought about the food. Will be back first time there and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is very clean and has some neat things to look at as well, plus you can sit inside or outside.

We started with the Tuscan Bruschetta with vine-ripened tomatoes, basil, red onion, and balsamic glaze. My husband had the Gold Star Old Fashioned, and I had the Strawberry Sunrise mocktail, which was really good. For dinner, we tried the cold-water twin lobster tails with mac and cheese. The presentation was beautiful, and everything looked so good when it came out. We also tried the bourbon mushrooms, which unfortunately weren't my favorite. They were a little bland and seemed slightly burnt to me. The 14 oz. New York strip, though, was absolutely delicious! It was 20-day wet-aged beef and definitely the highlight of my meal. So much flavor and cooked perfectly. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée, and they surprised us by decorating the plate with "Happy Anniversary." Such a sweet and thoughtful touch! We finished the evening with a double espresso. The service was exceptional from start to finish, which really made the evening feel special. Overall, we really enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Prime & Pearl. The beautiful presentation, excellent service, delicious steak, and thoughtful anniversary touches made it a memorable evening. We would definitely come back for another special occasion!

The lady running the to go window was really nice. I can only imagine what it's like being the person that has to tell people the dinner they order isn't available. She seemed to be holding things down pretty well. She offered me something to drink while I waited which was nice too. If she didn't handle things so well I probably would have gone 1 or 2 stars for taking so long and running out of what we ordered.
