We went to lunch with a client around noon on a weekday. The place was quiet with only a couple other tables in service.The place was spotless and the service was flawless. I was surprised to see the lunch prices being so reasonable. Myself and our client both ordered the grilled chicken Caesar salad for $12 plus $9 for the added chicken. Was it the best? No but it was good and the dressing was a mild version with great taste. The lettuce was not as crunchy as I prefer but that didn't stop me from eating every bite.Our other attendees both ordered a "Prime Stack". These are sandwiches. Both ordered the Tenderloin Tip stack with Parmesan Frites. Both really enjoyed them, especially the frites that were cooked perfectly.I am not sure how much value this review has because I have a feeling that dinner service, when you might enjoy a bit heavier meal, would be more delightful. I would especially like to try their theater menu sometime.However, if you are in downtown Cincy at lunch time, Prime would be a fine choice that gives you a relaxed atmosphere, great service, good food and an overall great value proposition.

Food was delicious and our servers were awesome. I ordered the 12oz new york strip with their roasted shallot mashed potatoes and my fiancée ordered an 8oz filet mignon with a caesar salad. Both steaks were cooked very well with a good crust, and the potatoes were great. I had requested the $2 truffle add on for my potatoes, but I did not receive it nor was a I charged so no harm no foul. We had ordered the crème brûlée for dessert which was very good. We were sat in the front corner with a great view of the city, as we were right up along the front windows. The overall volume in the restaurant was quite comfortable, I did not feel as though I had to speak up or quiet down. Made for a nice conversation.

Unexpected, their Bourbon Speakeasy, was unexpectedly... lackluster.Entrance - we get a "tour" on the way which to be honest is a little cheesy. It just feels like a bunch of name dropping. The entrance is through a bookcase that never closes all the way and definitely needed to be stylized better.Drinks - 1 drink per person, 3 total. Drinks weren't bad enough to send back, but weren't good enough to entice us to try others on the menu. And for $17 a drink, they should be phenomenal. Ambiance - you're in an expensive steakhouse, there's classy jazz music playing, luscious seating, and... green rave laser lights? Amazon table lamps in blue? It does not match. Service - our waiter was great. That was the redeemer.Overall I was severely disappointed and the $17 price tag per lackluster cocktail and dreadful ambiance killed it. With over 30 other speakeasy/speakeasy type bars in the area, this needs to up its game.

Thought I would treat myself to lunch and decided to try Prime Cincinnati located downtown. The place is upscale with soft jazz playing at just the right volume. I was greeted, seated and quickly waited on. The staff was very informative and make excellent suggestions. Started with the vegetable soup which was very hearty , Great flavor with lots of veggies. (Made with chicken stock) Perfect for this cool rainy day. My lunch entree was Beef Tenderloin Tip sandwich was very tender with onion straws and a horseradish sauce. Very tasty & it's Certified Angus Beef. My sandwich arrived as soon as I finished my soup making for a relaxed enjoyable eat on a lunch hour. On Friday and Saturday evening they offer entertainment. Singers and musicians Happy hour is from 4 to 6 pm. Great food, excellent service, reasonably priced. We'll be back.

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Friday night. We didn't have reservations but could get seated. The staff were exceptional- friendly, attentive, knowledgeable. We ordered the creamy crab dip for an appetizer and it did not disappoint. I had the lamb chops for dinner which were very good. It's definitely a nice elegant setting for dinner.

Had a large sampling of apps and for diet we got the lamb chops and the salmon. Everything was excellent and we added this place to our list of places to eat at when in the city.

Prime's food is so good. A hidden gem here is their happy hour, where you can try some of their food at a great price. I love to get the prime burger with a cosmo - 10/10!For dinner, I've also had their steak which is great, salmon, Mac & cheese, and other dishes. They also sometimes do live music, which is a great touch.

My first time here was for burger week. WOW!!!!!!! Possibly the best burger I have ever had. And the Tator tots?? The name does not do them justice. Topped it off with a vodka based mule. Fun!!!! I cannot wait to go back for a steak. It's lovely and classy and great service!

Loved the holiday decor, seemed so festive and warm. The staff was outstanding. Especially working on Christmas Eve. Our meals were tasty and well prepared. I'd recommend Prime to others.
