    An amazing experience, from start to finish. Boilerhouse Prime is 100% worth the splurge, in my…read moreopinion. My food was excellent, the service was top-notch and the ambiance is beautiful. It was a great place to have a nice solo steak dinner in West Lafayette. I don't eat steak often, but when I do, I want it to be amazing. And my steak was amazing! I got the 8-ounce Linz Heritage filet, Sam Allen style, which meant that it also came with grilled shrimp and a chimichurri. Yum yum yum to all three things. I usually order my steak medium-well, but the server suggested medium, so I went with it. Good choice! My server was very wise, even though he looked like he was still in college. Along with the steak, I got a side of grilled mushrooms, which came in a brown sauce with chives sprinkled on top. But first: I started with an heirloom tomato salad, which was served with stracciatella cheese, basil and these cool balls that looked like roe, but were actually balls of balsamic vinegar. Fancy! It was fresh and light, and the perfect appetizer to get during a summer in Indiana, when them tomatoes be poppin'. I don't know why I'm reviewing my meal backward, but just go with me, people. Before everything, you get complimentary rolls and butter. Oh man! I could have made a meal just from the bread and butter, both of which were tender and soft, and so salty and flavorful. At the very beginning of my meal, I started with an Old Fashioned, because I read that Boilerhouse Prime is known for their Old Fashioneds. This one was well balanced, and came with a nice bourbon cherry. I also got a glass of Malbec along the way with my meal, which went well with my steak. This seems like an adults-only restaurant, but I was sitting close to a big table that had a family with kids, so well-behaved kids are definitely allowed, even though I did not see a kids menu.

    If you judge your dining experience based on how much you spend, you're gonna love this place…read more However if you base it on the food quality given the price point, you will not be as enamored with it. Last time I got the lobster bisque and it may have been the best I've ever had. I ordered it again and it was terrible. Just terrible. Tasted kind of bitter and was much too dark for a lobster bisque. The side dishes are enormous and they were all ok. The charred broccoli is an entire stalk thrown on a grill. Char on outside, raw on inside. Lovely. My American Wagyu bone-in strip was good, though it tasted no different than prime meat and did cost $95. I would have hoped for better than just 'good'. Family enjoyed most items. I sampled the wedge and really liked that. Probably best part of the meal. Oysters were excellent. Drinks are always good here. They have upgraded their rum list and have some high quality ones now. That's great! Service is always top notch. I will definitely be back for happy hours. The food at this restaurant is good. But when 2 adults and 3 kids drop $800 on a meal, it really ought to be fantastic, not just good.

    We stopped here for a drink and app at the bar before a boat tour. Our bartender was fantastic and…read morethe drinks were fun, fresh and summery. The outdoor bar was a great place to enjoy a summer evening! Only weird thing: the bathrooms were in the basement and had a really bizarre and off putting smell.

    Very poorly managed, and awful customer service…read more We arrived, there was a short line (less than 10 people), and I could see LOTS of empty tables in the bar and outside. They don't take reservations. The group of 4 or 5 in front of us was seated promptly. There was another group of 4 or 5 behind us in line. I told them we had 10 total people, But would be happy to split into 2 tables if 5, one of 6 and another of 4, whatever was easiest for them. Was told "no, the manager says we're not taking any more large groups tonight." Again - I could see at least 15 empty tables in the bar and outside. I reiterated we'd be happy to separate into 2 groups of 5, or 4 + 6, or whatever. Hard no. I asked to speak with the manager - the greeter went back to get her and came back and said "she'll come out in a while, but Angie made it clear that no matter what you say it will be at least a 2 hour wait". Are you kidding me ...?!? Don't give them your business. Go elsewhere. They'll probably be happy you left. Terrible customer experience. I'd give them -1 stars if Yelp allowed negative stars.
