Prime 112 in Miami Beach, Florida

User reviews

The wait for the table was short.....which is good because at first I wanted to leave. The noise level is what you would expect if you had about 200 of your closest friends jammed into the kitchen of your house.

Onc we were seated, we were glad we stayed. The food was great...the meat was aged and perfect, and the side dishes were the best we have ever had. Even the seafood dishes were very well done.

To add to the experience the place was loaded with celeb like Majic Johnson, Hip Hop stars, and several retired NFL players.

The experience was a good one, however NOT a good place to a "relaxing" night out....I suggest you bring earplugs.

Prime 112 "Only Great Stuff at Prime 112"

All I can say is Terrific! The food is so rich and tasty! My favorites are the truffle french fries (needs no ketchup, it tastes so good on it's own), the truffle deviled eggs, the stuffed lobster (melts in your mouth)! The service is exceptional. All the servers were right there when we needed service. We only had to wait 10 minutes before we were seated. Very busy place, so if you're looking for a place with lots of people, fun, and excellent food, this is definitely the place.

My husband and I had a Saturday night reservation at 7:30 and were seated at 7:45. The decor is great, chic & simple just as you would expect for the hottest restaurant in town. I had the filet, which was by far the best I have ever had! The lobster bisque is unlike any other...absolutley delicious with huge pieces of lobster meat. Great energy, great service & even better food!!

Prime 112 "Dissapointed"

We were very exited about dining at this "Superb" Restaurant, but when we got there, we wanted to turn around and leave. The noise were so annoing that it was impossible to have a conversation with the person next to you and the customers were so poorly tasteless dressed that seemed we were having dinner at McDonald's . We were sitted in the hall way where customers and employees were coming and going, the tables had no tablecloth (which is very rare for such an expensive restaurant), and the service was very, very poor, on top of that they charge 18% gratuity automaticly. The food was O.K., but for the price they charge, you expect something better. This was our first and last time, dining at Prime One Twelve.

Prime 112 "Poor Service"

I had heard that Prime 112 was the latest place to be, which should have been enough warning, but I had a friend coming in from London and gave it a try. In spite of having made a reservation 10 days earlier for the Friday evening table for 2, we were asked to wait at the bar and had to struggle through the crowd to get a glass of wine. We waited at least 30 minutes before our table was ready. Fter all that, we were given a table by the door. Once we were seated, the service was fine but the food was certainly not any better that I have had at Smith & Wollensky or Ruth's Chris (Coral Gables, one of my favorites) where the treatment is generally much better for the price.

Prime 112 "Expectations too high"

Heard it was the greatest, but it is not. Very nicely decorated, but the chairs and tables are just ok. The bartender (we arrived early) inadvertently forgot to put the banana liquer in our drink. When we brought it to his attention, he was a bit wierd about it, then reached around for the liquer and 'fixed' it--made us very uncomfortable. The staff after that, both at the bar and the table were top notch. Strips of bacon are at your finger tips at the bar (gratis)--very nice touch. Food: Steak was excellent. Sea bass, excellent too. Greatest, no, but very very good. The appetizers are nice, but not amazing. Salad portions are more than generous, and we were told in advance about this. However, the house salad (the dressing) was bland. Very loud. The music is all Sinatra, and that is nice. But the accoustics with the crowd/chit chat, isdeafening. Makes it difficult to converse. The liquor is obscenely priced. The least expensive glass of white wine is $13 a glass. The wine list is nothing to rave over. The menu price list for food is not a problem--it is consistent with what you expect in a new elegant steak place. I am sorry, but price gouging on the liquor/wine is not acceptable. We did not price cosmopolitans or similar items, but no doubt it is something extraordinary. At nearly $20 a glass for a Chardonnay that is a recognizeable Napa Valley, it does not go down very smoothly. Overall, very nice restaurant, but not the amazing experience we expected.

Prime 112 "Heaven in Hell"

My husband and I had a reservation at 10:15 pm. on a Friday night mid-November. When we arrived we were told they were very busy and we would have to wait about twenty minutes. They suggested we get a drink at the bar which was virtually impossible given the tiny bar that was ten deep with no movement. After 30 minutes, we were told it wouldn't be much longer. We still were not able to get a glass of wine given the crowd at the bar. After an hour, we went to join the others at the hostess stand to complain about waiting an hour for our reservation. We were left with no explanation from the management, only an apology. Approximately 11:40, an hour and twenty five minutes after our reservation that I made a week in advance and with a lot of heated words exchanged with the manager, we were finally seated. Despite the hell that we endured before we actually got to sit down for our meal, the restaurant does have something going for it. The management is terrible. The over-booking is ridiculous and a joke. The food and the service, however are impeccable. If you can make it through the stupidity of the people who control the booking and walk ins, you're in for a great meal. My husband and I both shared a salad big enough for five and it was great. The jumbo shrimp cocktail was out of this world and the filets we got.............the best I've had. I thought it was even better than N9ne in Vegas. I would recommend going early and maybe throwing a bottle of pepto bismol in your purse before you go. If you can't get a glass of wine to calm your stomach from your anger of dealing with the wait, then the pepto should do the trick. By the way, I can't tell you about dessert. We used valet and they only had the lot until 1:00 a.m so we didn't have time to try any given our late seating. Good Luck!
