We as family went to American Prime for the $55 special. The three course meal was out of this world! The Chef and his staff knocked it out of the park. The steak rolls was amazing and the soup was delicious. I had the short ribs and they were so tinder. The Prime Rib was on point. The bread pudding & chocolate cake was to die for.

We had a great networking lunch here! Seth was very accommodating when we showed up a bit too early. Drinks were very good, salads were fresh, soups were delicious. We enjoyed the crab dip and aranchini appetizers. The steak frites and fried chicken sandwich were very good. Great service, lovely atmosphere inside and out!

We went here for date night. First, it’s not in a great location being away from the “bustling” perch at Capital One. Second, the food was over-salted. This is from a kosher salt loving queen. My date didn’t finish his steak and he’s an eater! The highlights of the meal include the poutine and key lime pie (not pictured). The steak, which is why a patron would select this establishment, is cooked to perfection but over seasoned. Unfortunately, for the price point to quality ratio, we will not return. The cost of dinner was $280 with tip.

American Prime serves delicious, high quality food in a great atmosphere. Among higher end restaurants, this is certainly one of the best. For special occasions, it’s a treat the whole family should enjoy. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, the crab dip appetizer was excellent, and the sides of creamed spinach and cauliflower were fantastic. We shared a wonderful dessert to cap things off. Highly recommended.

Food was decent. Flavors were good. Smoked prime rib was absolutely delicious- cooked well and smoky flavor was great. However, everything else was over salted and overdressed. I had a difficult time taking the next bite. Interior uses such a white light taking away from the ambience.

Came here last Thursday for dinner and was seated in the bar area which surprisingly was empty—majority of the guests sat outside since the weather wasn’t too cold. It’s super cute outside with all the light decor!

Better than average steak spot. Location is weird and parking not ideal. Service was great. Bar was very limited beyond the basics. Food was tasty, a few unique menu items which were all good. Overall OK but other better choices in this process range close by.

Went for a company lunch. Got Dry Aged New York Strip medium rare with Fries and Brussel sprouts. It was delicious. Service and hospitality also superb. Definitely worth the $$$.

The appetizers and sides were really good. Main entrees, the prime rib not great, meat selection quality was so-so. Filet mignon was very petite, and a little bit charred on the outside.
