"I 've had a great time the two other times I came here. Today, I came here at 7:20 (40 minutes before they closed) for a sandwich and a beer. A guy that I 've never seen greeted us with we close at 8. Dining in? Take a seat. We ordered a beer, then we never had a server come by again. We were studiously ignored (all eye contact avoided. If they accidentally glanced at our table, they fully turned away from us). We tried to get our server 's attention for 25 minutes before we gave up and went to pay for our beer. When we went to pay, we asked the man who greeted us what time the kitchen closed (because we hadnt had this kind of experience before), and he said we usually stop serving hot food at 7:30, especially if we 've had a hard day. I get the frustrations of food service, but that was no reason to actively ignore us until we left. We would have been satisfied with them telling us the kitchen was closed/closing. The whole experience was a real shame.I don 't know if I 'll go back, but I 'll post an update if I do, and my experience changes.UPDATE: we went across the street to Farelli 's, and apparently, the employee is a known problem. The bartender saw us come from across the street and asked why we left, then said, Was it the tall guy with the dark, curly hair? He 's got a reputation for sending business towards Farelli 's!"

Excellent food with and extremely friendly staff. The students working there do a great job. We were down for a basketball tournament and ate here both days.

Cute little place with friendly staff. The salad I had was pretty good but the coffee wasn't. I'll go back again to try other menu items but I probably won't be ordering coffee there again. View menu

"Delicious food and excellent service! I dined in for lunch and found the price per person to be around $20 to $30. I would rate the food a perfect 5, the service also a 5, and the atmosphere gets a 5 as well."

The customer service is outstanding; upon entering or leaving, there's always someone who takes the time to greet you. The atmosphere is relaxing and consistently feels inviting. One important detail: you’ll be offered a glass of ice-cold water, and don’t forget to ask for a straw!

I just ordered from Uber Eats, and I'm not sure if the in-store experience is the same, but this tiny side salad cost $14. Can we talk about that? The cup of soup was also only half full. Everything tasted great, but I ended up spending $22 on lunch for what felt like not much. For vegetarian options, they do have tempeh as a protein add-on. View menu

We had an excellent experience at this restaurant thanks to our server, Mary Lo, who was incredibly helpful and provided fantastic recommendations for our meal. It was our first visit, and I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee, salads, and freshly baked bread. We will definitely return in the future. Rating: Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I had gone here multiple times with great experiences every time. Tonight, I went in with looking to relax and unwind from work with my book, charcuterie, and wine. Clearly, their employees don’t know how well sound travels in the restaurant, or maybe they just thought I was out of ear shot. Unfortunately, I heard two employees talking loudly about how stupid it is to come to a restaurant to just order a wine sampler and meat/cheese boards (I ordered 2 from the happy hour menu), and how it’s “like coming to a restaurant and ordering a bowl of Cheetos, it’s so dumb”. This continued on for several minutes, and if I could hear loud and clear, I am sure the others in the restaurant could too. I...

"Great restaurant with good food and service. Staff was very accommodating though we did not have a reservation on a Friday night. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. Loved the lamb shanks this is a must have. Halibut was also very tasty. One feedback on the roasted calamari is the spices were a bit overpowering, which did not do justice to the amazing sauce with garlic and parsley. The dessert menu is excellent and well thought in conjunction with the rest of the menu. The bourbon chocolate cake is with rich dark chocolate I absolutely loved the sticky texture and how the whipped cream complemented it. I suggest you get the cream on the side to adjust the balance to your liking. One other thing I recomend is the house limoncello with the bourbon chocolate cake as it helps to ease the intense (but very pleasant) chocolate flavor with every two to three spoons. The culinary experience was very satisfactory. In terms of price, be prepared to pay about $80 per person including the tip. I think this price is worth it especially on special occasions. By the way, I really appreciated the disclosure at the bottom of the menu with regular font size (rather than the small print most restaurants do) regarding the 20% tip policy. Furthermore, the communication that 70% of the tip going directly to our server while the remaining 30% going to their welfare expenses was transparecy at its best. I think other restaurants should take Primo as a role model in terms of how tipping policy works and should be communicated to the patrons. Well done Primo! I hope to see you soon thank you for a wonderful evening Parking: It was a bit hard to find a spot."
