Primehouse

Wowza!!! This is probably the best restaurant I have been to in at least a year - if not ever. A little background on The James/Primehouse: We were actually going to have our wedding reception at The James - primarily because we had heard the food was amazing. We decided against this location because of the lack of windows in the reception room. It was really nice, nonetheless, but we found The Sutton Place hotel and not even the food could convince us to book The James.

We started off in The James lounge with the surf and turf dumplings. Pretty good, but I wasn't incredibly impressed. Once we sat down for dinner at Primehouse, our server was at our table promptly and her service did not wane the entire night. She was so great - knowledgeable, friendly, curteous - you name it - her service was second to none. We had the kobe beef tartar - served on a bed of salt rock - that was to die for! I couldn't believe how much I loved raw meat! Don't miss it when you are there.

For the entre, we had the chateubriand for two. I just can't say enough about the meat - AMAZING.

This entre is for two and they carve it tableside for you. We chose the garlic topping on the side with the blue cheese foam. OMG - the best!!!! I just have no words - it is absolutely to die for!

For dessert we had the lolipop tree - chocolate covered cheesecake on a tree that looks like lolipops.















This was sooooo delectable! Don't miss out on this fun treat that will have all the other tables talking! We also had cordials with the dessert - ask the server what is best for your pick and you won't be let down!

Overall, I give this 6 stars out of 5. Primehouse is a must for tourists and locals alike!
