So many people say I can do it better at home , nonsense comments , we are comparing restaurants, not your ability.

That is because Villagers will not pay 60 or 70 dollars for a prime filet. If this restaurant or any restaurant put that on their money they would also get bashed online by the people who live here.

Default Prima
Don't forget that on Saturday and Sunday Prima has the make-your-own bloody mary bar. Absolutely great!!!

We have found the food to always be great and the attention from the staff beyond good. As for cooking the same food at your own home, bah humbug. Know this is a Christmas reference but the emotion is the same.

Does this mean you didn’t/don’t go there? If true you don’t have a valid opinion!

I do go there, but I order the pizza. It's very good. I recommend it. My opinion is valid.

I typed in "My wife's birthday" and there was a "Happy Birthday" sign on our table and they offered a free dessert...

Did I expect it? No. Was it appreciated? Most certainly...
Nice replay ! Actually, surprised there are still people around who don't realize how many retail businesses give a "birthday" and anniversary recognition as part of their public awareness advertising ! ? From a free doughnut to a dip of ice cream with the purchase of one dip, it's amazing how many little rewards one gets during the birthday month. Shopping at Fresh Market three days ago, at check out I put in my rewards points number, and clerk said, "Oh, did you know you can go to the bakery area and get a slice of the "ultimate birthday cake" free since you have a birthday this month. It was YUM.... LOL !

Reminds me of a movie I saw about a con man who had 365 driver's licenses. He got a lot of free meals.
