I dined here on a Thursday at 4:30 pm for a work event with my team. The Prima team did not miss a beat. We had a fantastic experience. The space is stunning with a gorgeous peak-a-book kitchen and beautifully decorated for the holidays. The food was flavorful and perfectly plated. The bread plated was the best fresh ricotta with a hit of sesame I've had in the city! A must-try. We tried many cocktails with the favorite being the Prima martini. The manager Andrew and his team were attentive, knowledgable, and incredibly hospitable. If you haven't tried this spot it's a must!
