   Overall, the food is good, our Steaks were perfection despite the cost. We book a table at a better than average every year as a Christmas present to ourselves. It's our night to indulge in lots of food we can't afford for the last four years of runaway inflation and financial mismanagement by DC. Unfortunately, we were seated next to a loud bunch of Yankee's that could have been heard two blocks away and their waiter was a perfect match of loud brash bragging about himself. I worked for multiple Fine Dining Restaurants for years and lesson one for the green and out of her element waitress we were paired up with, DON'T RUSH YOUR PATRONS !!! I was about halfway through an overpriced but damn good Wedge Salad when out comes our Steaks. Lesson two for sweet but ignorant waitress, CALL FOR YOUR STEAKS AFTER YOU HAVE CLEARED THE SALAD AND SOUP BOWLS !!! The kitchen works with you for the guest experience don't let them rush your service affecting your tip. My overall feeling was there's quality in the Menu but at $ 100 a plate the management is anxious for their financial return, to a point where they rush their customers through like Denny's. Lesson three for newbie waitress, don't approach the table every three minutes, if I wanted to have dinner with you, I would ask.

   16 Prime is an upscale restaurant in Denver,NC. This is just what Denver needed. I appreciate good food, wonderful ambiance, and fabulous service. I had the flounder and it was flaky and flavorful. My husband enjoyed Sea Bass, as well as the Mediterranean octopus. We did order a side of crispy Brussels, but sadly had to return. They were hard (under cooked) in the middle and charred. Had a very bitter taste. This was removed from our bill without question. All in all was a lovely evening in a neighborhood restaurant. We will go back.

   Absolutely beautiful restaurant inside. We were happy and looking forward for this new restaurant to open. Our table had steaks and flounder. My flounder was lightly breaded over mashed potatoes served with asparagus. The fillet mignon was served with mashed potatoes. We split brussels sprouts . And we also ordered shrimp cocktail to split as well. Food was very average in taste. Mashed potatoes were delicious, but the rest not so much. Very bland in taste. Wine was also a great selection and was delicious. Service was OK in the beginning, but then begin to decline throughout the rest of the evening. Water refills left unattended. And lacking in customer service. No substitution on sides. Server refused to help when asked to switch with the extra side that we ordered. Disappointing. In general, for now - recommend other restaurants. There are many other wonderful restaurants in the Denver area. We are hopeful that 16 prime steak and seafood improves.

   So wanted a great experience. Loud. Server confusing friendliness with good service. Under cooked $50 steak (rare/raw). Very thin wine list for food at this price point. Disappointed. Wanted another nice offering on this side of the lake.

   We dined last night at 16 Prime and had a good overall experience. The steaks were cooked to perfection, exactly as ordered. The mac and cheese was rich and flavorful, and the jalapeño cream corn was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the Chilean sea bass was slightly undercooked in the center, which was disappointing. The cocktails were strong and well-crafted. On a personal note, I found the sweet butter served with the bread a bit off-putting, as it wasn’t what I expected. However, the service was impeccable, making the evening enjoyable despite the small setbacks.
