On the last day of vacation, we were baffled on where to dine at, and Primal Steakhouse opened before our eyes as a contender. It is safe to say we were pleasantly surprised with our choice for the night. For appetizers, we ordered the Ahi Tuna Tacos and Shrimp Scampi. While the tacos were on the sweeter side, the freshness of the tuna outshined everything. The shrimp scampi was rich and flavorful. For mains, we ordered the 32oz Prime Tomahawk with a side of lobster, the 8oz Filet Mignon, the Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb, and the Salmon and Mussels. The Tomahawk was undoubtedly one of the best steaks we’ve had, almost on par with Peter Lugers. The filet was just as good with a very soft and luscious bite. The lamb was slightly on the gamier side, but still a solid choice. Out of all these dishes, the Salmon and Mussels were the least impactful, but that is to be expected at a steakhouse. For sides, we ordered the creamed spinach, parm truffle fries, Mac and cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, and lobster Mac and cheese. Out of all these sides, the most outstanding was the Lobster Mac and Cheese with a rich cheese sauce and plenty of lobster meat. The creamed spinach was forgettable, as were the parm truffle fries, with the garlic mashed potatoes at least holding its value. It is to note, the complimentary sourdough bread with the bacon jam was a hit at our table. Live music was provided and the waitress as well as the manager were keenly attentive to our needs. For 5 people the bill totaled approximately $800 including drinks, but despite the price tag, the food makes the experience worth it.
