The Suleiman Family , who own several restaurants in TV, certainly know their business. The entire staff was efficient and friendly. I recognized a few staff from other restaurants and they come over and greeted us and made us feel very welcomed. Our wait staff was great- friendly, knowledgeable and happy to be there.

The menu is terrific. There are so many good choices and the ones I saw looked delicious.. The four of us ordered different dishes and everyone enjoyed their food.

We have not gone out to eat as much as we used to, and usually bring home food from one of the TV restaurants. When we do go out, we want a good experience. Last night was great!

I am not a food critic. This review is only written because there are so many negative reviews about restaurants that I thought it would be nice to hear a positive, when deserved.

We have not had a bad experience at any of the Suleiman run restaurants. They are well run and the food, from our experience is always consistent.

Dined there Tuesday late afternoon/eve. Crowded, very busy - did not feel like off-season. Waited a reasonable amount of time - about 15 minutes. Seated on the porch near banner mercantile. Food was delicious, drinks were not watery. Waiter was friendly and helpful. Responded quickly to every request and checked in regularly. Staff was excellent at a nearby table as well, using a code system so every one delivering food or drinks to the table knew exactly which drink and plate belonged to whom. Seamlessly handled - very professional.

Coup de grace was the waiter (Damon, per the receipt) did what so few do (at least at other places) and actually boxed your leftovers. Not only boxed it for you, but did it right there instead of going back to the kitchen so you knew nothing happened to yours in transit or out of sight.

Experience at Prima was A+, Gold-star. Maybe not Michelin Star, but def AAA 4-star!
