My boyfriend and I ate dinner at Primehouse last night and it was possibly the worst dinner!! This is my first time writing a review on Citysearch, but I feel that people need to know how awful this restaurant is! As avid steak eaters, we were really excited to try a new steakhouse, however it did not even come close to living up to our expectations. The only good part was the bottle of wine, but where can't you find a decent bottle?We started with the crab cake and scallop ceviche. My plate was piping hot so god only knows how long that crab cake was sitting under a heating lamp. The scallop ceviche was laughable. I think it was maybe one scallop but you could hardly tell as it was chopped up. For our entree we ordered the Porterhouse for 2. On the menu you have the option of a porterhouse for 1 or 2. The porterhouse for 1is $48 for 20 oz and the porterhouse for 2is $48/person for 39 oz,does that make any sense?!?So our porterhouse came and it was NOT 39 oz. And the porterhouse arrived at our table already separated from the bone and the meat was perfectly seared evenly around, but the bone looked like it had been cooked, to give the appearance that the meat was cooked on the bone - VERY DECEPTIVE!. So we asked if steak was cooked on the bone, and the carver then confirmed that it was not. After the carver confirmed our suspicions, our waitress ran over trying to explain that the meat was cooked on the bone, however, it was clear it was not and she was lying Obviously our steak has no flavor and was below average!! There was a smidgen of filet still on the bone that we managed to cut off and that tiny piece that was cooked on the bone was delicious. They served ketchup with the steak!The prices are ridiculously expensive since all you get is garbage! I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. This restaurant is in desperate need of Gordon Ramsay!! Save your time and money and walk across the street to Houston's for a better meal at half the price.
Pros: the wine was ok
Cons: Terrible Food!!!
