    This was our first time at Prime & Provisions, and we’ll definitely be returning. From the moment we arrived and approached the front desk until the end of our evening, walking out the door, every staff member was warm, friendly, and engaging. Their hospitality made us feel both special and welcome. Our server, Ricky, was outstanding. He was not only friendly and approachable but also highly knowledgeable about the menu. He offered great suggestions, and everything he recommended exceeded our expectations. Ricky truly made our experience memorable. The food was exceptional—prepared exactly as we requested, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. For a special night out, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

    Food is absolutely amazing, we have gone to a lot of similar Mexican/Latin fusion restaurants before and this one is by far the best. We had the traditional guacamole, tropical ceviche to start - both fantastic. We then had tacos, I got the pastor and my husband got the carnitas - we both agreed that the pastor was better but the carnitas was not bad, next time we would both get the pastor because they were out of this world. Both got a side of esquites, very good! Ended with churro bites and were very tasty! Would absolutely recommend going here and feel like the price definitely matches the quality of food, if not a steal! Service was great too!

    Great food and experience! Service was on the slower / less attentive side but overall we had a great time. Tried many dishes and they all were fantastic. Best crab rangoons I have had in Chicago so far!

    The Lark is always a great choice. I have been there usually around the Christmas holiday and it is beautifully decorated. The food is delicious, waitstaff friendly and efficient. The Christmas drink specials are great. I would highly recommend the restaurant.
