Prime Steak House - Syracuse (NY)

4 /5 Ana I. Romero: I was able to get a table without a reservation. It seems to be a nice place to probably sit at the bar…the restaurant had the appropriate music to enjoy a conversation. Unfortunately food was not surprising at all. Maybe given the prices my expectations were kind of high?

5 /5 N N: During Downtown Dining Week, we very much enjoyed a $30 prix fixe, 3-course dinner consisting of an appetizer and main course followed by a make-your-own ice cream sundae for dessert. The ambience in the basement of the historic Gridley Building and the quality of the service were excellent. UPDATE-1: We returned a few years later to again take advantage of the Syracuse dining weeks menu, now at $40 per person. The dinner was outstanding. For her appetizer, my wife ordered bang bang cauliflower and said it was wonderful. I opted for the vegetable beef barley soup which was quite good. We both chose the sliced tenderloin on mashed potatoes with onions and mushrooms. It was outstanding. The gravy was very tasty and the three filet medallions were tender and lean. For dessert, we enjoyed their famous ice cream sundae bar located near the front of the restaurant. There they hand you a bowl filled with vanilla ice cream. Then you serve yourself chocolate, chocolate- raspberry, and/or caramel sauces and select from about a dozen toppings to spoon over the top. Overall, it was a generous and delicious meal. As we left, we promised ourselves that we would return soon.

5 /5 Travis Knight: Prime Steakhouse exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an incredible dining experience. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I ordered the sliced tenderloin, and it was perfection. So tender, so juicy, and packed with flavor. I’m not usually a fan of gravy, but their sauce was on another level—rich, savory, and the perfect complement to the steak. And of course, the famous sundae bar lived up to the hype! A fun and delicious way to end an already amazing meal. If you’re looking for a top-tier steakhouse experience, this is the place. I can’t wait to come back!

4 /5 Don Manuel Presents: So what can I say its one of those places if you know someone you can get a seat. After working the Taste of Syracuse event for 2 days, almost 10 hours each day and the client wanted to reward the staff with a dinner and said we should try Prime. at the door the host told us they had no seats for our group of 6 and going to refuse us service when the client asked for Danny by name where he got us a seat immediately and we had a rather delightful meal the seafood tower was delicious and the surf and turf was on point even if I ordered it medium well. I know, dont hate me. So lucky for us, our guy knew a guy that was the owner, or we never would have had such a yummy meal.

5 /5 Mario Alex Gonzalez: A great spot in Syracuse for a delicious steak dinner with lots of creative options. Their bread options are some of the best I’ve had- biscuits with incredible butter snd jam choices, spectacular. All the appetizers we got were simply so well made, and great choices. The coffee crust they offer on the steak was a very welcome deviation to the traditional steak flavor and was a super rich addition. Portions are large though so be prepared, but this spot is worth a stop for sure.
