Prime 623

Great experience. Inviting ambiance. Food was very good. And service was quick and easy.

Arrived here for a drink on a weekday night and was met with a bouncer who proceeded to check my identification, search my bad and patted my coat down. My friend with me asked" are you sure we came here to eat?" . I had the same sentiment The atmosphere is very lounge clubbish with high top tables and chair and the bar. We ordered a number of items: crab cakes, mussels, wontons and stew snapper. The passion fruit margaritas tasted like medicine hitting the back of my throat immediately with whatever syrup they use so the waiter was gracious to take it back and exchange it. The replaced drink wasn't any better but I drank it since the waiter was so nice. The best thing we got was the crab cake which was full of crab but for 22 bucks it better be. The food here isn't bad tasting but it also ain't mesmerizing, it's like eating at a regular West Indian food joint.

Stopped here for a girls link up and we had a great time. The music was a vibe, great service and good drinks. What I ordered was cool but nothing I haven't tasted before. I had the esvotich fish with rice and peas. We tried the crab cakes and shrimp wantons. The fish had Great escovitch vegetables, fish was overcooked but full of carribbean spices. Rice was ok. The wantons was deelish but had to much sauce for me. The crab cake was a bit salty but came with a healthy salad which cut the salt.Prime 623 is a good local bar with a great vibe.

This is a great restaurant that's always worth the trip to Carnarsie. I've been here a few times and had a great time each time. I love their Nortorius 6.2.3 frozen drink. I've been here for "Wine Wednesdays" for a couple of glasses of wine. I love the food here! From the Mussels to the Calamari to the Shrimp Tacos to the to the Ackee and Saltfish Tostones to the Salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I enjoyed every bite! The servers here are attentive and deserve their tips. The DJ here plays great music that keeps the place lively and engaged. The restaurant is the perfect size with a cascading waterfall against the back wall. I'm looking forward to coming back! You get free shots here from time to time if you're lucky and exude lively behavior.

My uncle and I stopped at Prime 623 to get a bite to eat. He's been there before, so he wanted me to try it out. Nice spot to chill and watch sports. The fruit punch was good, and the salmon tasted fine with the crispy skin. My mashed potatoes were okay. it could've been hotter, just my preference. Asparagus was cooked right, maybe a little more on the plate, though. My uncle enjoyed his food as well. The waiter was cool and attentive. We didn't have to wait long, like I've seen from other reviews. There were people at the bar, and as we came in the one table was leaving. So, I couldn't say how the service would be when there's more people.Overall, not in my neighborhood to frequent. However, security was very hospitable. He seemed like a good genuine dude.

I truly feel locals have low expectations on restaurants because why is this place 4 stars ? This place gets busy . The music can be ok at times (depending on your taste) but the SERVICE ? Its horrendous . 5 of us sat . We all ordered the smallest things and EVERYTHING came one by one , with 20-30 min increments - my friend literally ordered sautéed vegetables and didn't get it for an entire hour after ordering , not to mention the food is flooded with salt & the false advertising. I ordered lobster mac n cheese and veggies, I got a bowl full of mac n cheese and 1 lobster tail buried beneath it all . Salty food and ridiculously long wait times. Once my friend finished his calamari the OTHER FRIEND GOT HIS VEGETABLES , ONCE HE FINISHED HIS VEGGIES I GOT MY FOOD - it really didn't make any sense - we were just watching every table get pieces of their order. Long story short I honestly wouldn't do it again - I hate poor service.

The food was tasty, the server didn't engage much but I guess that's because they were one of the only ppl working and had to work the bar as well. The second time I went I had a different server but they also didn't engage much I guess because there was a table with a larger crowd keeping him busy. Outside of that, it's a cool spot to visit the drinks were okay as well. Just on the pricy side compared to other local places. Overall, I'd go back again.

Definitely a lovely spot. DJ was spinning them tunes and the drinks were strong. Hookah available The food was good with a likkle kick of heat.

We hadAckee and Saltfish TostonesBuffalo WingsBBQ WingsPrime Pan Seared SalmonFilet MignonCocktailTHE NOTORIOUS Cocktail made for me by the bartender MarleyI thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried, except for the steak. The steak needed a little bit more seasoning for my liking..Must haves are the jerk chicken tacos, fried chicken, wontons, calamari, and salmon. Marley the bartender did his thing with my cocktail based on my flavor palette strong, sweet flavorful. The DJ was really good. however, towards the end the service could've been better especially for amount we didn't. But I will still come back to try other food items and also their drinks as well for happy hour.

My husband and I met friends here last Saturday night at the bar and were very disappointed since food took forever to come out and there was only one guy working behind the bar, it took forever for us to get his attention to get a drink, he came back to me 4 times after to remind him what the drink was. I was hesitant to order another Don on the rocks 2 lime wedges, Henny on the rocks and a Red Bull but I did , I watched him eventually pour 2 drops from an empty bottle onto ice and hand it to me. Terrible! Worst $20 drink I've ever had and the service was worst! Prime do better! Hire more/ better bartending staff since the location, Dj music and decor is great!
