"A friend and I usually dine here before going to the Denver Center for Performing Arts productions because the restaurant is close and it's geared to getting diners out in time to make opening curtain for the performances. Wednesday night was no exception -- except the food was exceptional. The seared scallops were amazing - served atop a carrot pistachio risotto. We could have licked our plates clean, but there wasn't anything left to lick. This was the best preparation of scallops I've ever had."

"The food was excellent and quickly served. We ordered an appetizer portion for my grand daughter and although she loved the meal, there was way too much for a 6 year old. Maybe you could provide smaller kid portions. The large table we reserved ended up being right next to the bar...I didn't check but maybe there are larger tables upstairs that might have been better with a small girl. The menus were a bit soiled but I'm sure that is because the restaurant is so popular! Thank you for a nice dinner out with family!"

"We arrived at our res. time and were seated promptly. Our waiter was slow to respond to us and he knew we were going to the theatre. The long and short of it is that we never got our main courses because the timing was such that we needed to be at the theatre. We had our grandsons with us and had they not had a first course and bread, they would have been very hungry. I didn't have a first course so I was hungry and grabbed the last piece of bread. This restaurant is used to theatre goers and the waited should have started our service much more promptly. The other server in the area was very prompt. the manager apologized to us but too little to late. Never go here if you are going to the theatre. They do not offer gluten-free pasta."

"When the waiter was asked for a salad recommendation, he praised the steak salad. I requested the gorgonzola on the side. When the salad came, it was greens with dressing and cheese sprinkled over it. The salad was very plain -- greens, cheese and beef -- overcooked. Nothing about the salad to recommended it; AND it was not served as asked. I figured they needed to get rid of last nights leftover beef.
The calamari and bean salad was ordered with bacon instead of spicy sausage because I had had it that way before and it was delicious. My friend ordered it with bacon and it came with the spicy sausage. Each time the waiter offered to re-make the item. But we declined. Water refills were slow. Nothing seemed right."

"Other than the service there is nothing good to say about our experience . I would suggest trying this bar area if you like to eat a salt shaker and enjoy pasta swimming in orange sauce and sea bass swimming in mushy watery mash potatoes! All this while sitting at a high table that wobbles! So disappointed that I will never dine at ANY Kevin Taylor restaurant again."

"Kitchen was very slow getting people their pre-theatre dinners. Arriving on time for a 6 pm reservation and ordering dinner promptly at 6:15, our entrees did not appear until 6:45. The table next to us had to wait even longer. Waiter seemed to be doing all he could, but several tables of diners, including ours, had to skip coffee and dessert in order to get to the play. Given its location adjacent to the Denver Center, it ought to be more efficient during that time of day."

"Waiter had no personality and Interupted our conversation without saying "excuse me". He seemed unhappy to be there. We shared the arugula salad which was very good. Focaccia bread and accompanying oil were also delicious. Our main courses were both terrible. My husband had the bolognese which was pasty and my chicken was covered with a white pasty gravy that was way over peppered. Why do waiters ask "are you done or still "working" on it?" I've never thought of eating or dining as "work". It has a great location near the DCPA which makes it convenient for dining before a performance but after Prima's performance we will not go back."

"This was not at all what I was expecting! I was unimpressed with the overall ambiance and the food was plain at best! I had heard mixed reviews, but went anyway because of its location to the opera house. I think this is the only reason this place gets any business. I think I've had better, tastier pasta from a Lean Cuisine!"

"On an earlier visit, the food was excellent, but the service was dismal. We had to seek help from the manager. This time both were excellent. I believe our most recent visit was more indicative of their norm. Try the fig brulee - delicious. We will be back. It's also extremely convenient to the Performing Arts Center."

"My wife and I went to Prima for dinner before the show. Since it was 5280 week, there were not many people in the restaurant. I assume most were next door at Kevin Taylor's. The setting was quiet and romantic. Mostly a retired older crowd. The food here was just ok. It wasn't anything spectacular. My wife ordered scallops and I ordered tenderloin. The scallops were nothing to brag about and had LOTS of black pepper. The tenderloin was great. Our server was excellent and paid a lot of attention to detail. We will probably go back due to its proximity to the theater, but only for a couple of drinks. There are better restaurants downtown with a much lower price tag."

"We went on a Friday night before attending the ballet. Our waiter knew our scheduled and commented that, given Prima's location, they had lots of experience of getting people to the ballet, symphony or plays before the curtain rose. I don't know if Prima was short handed, but the service was disjointed and painfully slow. We ordered to pastas to start and the waiter assumed we wanted the entre size - this assumption was made even though we ordered entres. Both pastas were good - but not great. The entres were sort of passable and did not rise to the level of good. The wine the waiter suggested was out of stock, so the substituted. The entire experience felt like Prima hadn't prepared for the evening."

"Prima is conveniently located to the DCPA and that is one of the great draws to the restaraount....so they should be able to get you in and out in 1.5 hours. They say they can. Our group of four told the waiter we needed to be out in 1.5. He said no problem. With terrible service at the beginning...no service, we finally got jammed with salad and main course way too fast. Not time to finish. Food was very good, atmosphere was good, but service was not."

"We were there for a formal dinner(by accident) and they were great to us, but the bar crowd during happy hour was quite noisy. I wish there was someway to separate the serious dinners from the drinkers and socializers. The service went beyond and above to make our experience great inspite of the fact the we thought we were going to a $52.80 and they don't participate(somebody goofed-could have been me). They were beyond kind! The food was excellent!"

"My wife and I chose Prima due to it's proximity to the DCPA. The staff was very helpful and the service was impeccable.
The food was good but thoroughly short on variety. I am a degreed chef and personally I think that Kevin Taylor is a bit pretentious. His food is beyond overpriced for the quality. It may be tasty but certainly not worth the prices that are being charged for it. I must note that I am not opposed to paying higher prices when they are warranted. Personally I did not feel them to be warranted at Prima.
To sum up, it’s tasty but bring your wallet and possibly a brown paper bag to hyperventilate in to when you see the bill."

"Had a nice quiet, romantic and grownup dinner with my husband. We tried the Prix Fixe menu and were not dissappointed. Our fried calamari appetizer (large individual portion), sauteed salmon fillet with fingerling potatoes, sauteed spring vegetables, and a fig creme brulee was scrumptious. Our servers were attentive, courteous and when my Sauvignon Blanc was not to my liking, our server (a lady) brought me a whole new glass of Albariño without a complaint or smirk. Would like to go every weekend for date night if possible. Next time we'll try Kevin Taylor's which is the sister restaurant in the same hotel Teatro."

"We had not eaten here for more than a year after a less-than-sterling meal; however, this evening's meal was prepared superbly -- from the appetizer to the dessert -- and we vowed to return sooner. It was an excellent meal and our wait staff was most attentive, despite the packed restaurant!"

"The menu was somewhat limited, the food was ok. I thought the food could have used more seasoning and presented with some unique features. For the pricing it did not live up to the advertised expectation. The location was great however If I was the manager of a restaurant like this I would take some pointers from other Chefs and how really well trained servers treat guests and are prepared to put the restaurants best foot forward."

"This was our first dinner at Prima and we were looking forward to dinner.
iInitially,we were seated in the bar area near an open doorway. I was quiet surprised, because I thought we were eating in one of Kevin Taylor's top restaurants. Looking up, I noticed people were dining and the atmosphere was much nicer than the bar. Also, there were open tables.I asked our waitress if we could move upstairs, however she said that they were full. When my husband came in , he was surprised by being seated in a bar and asked if we could move upstairs. After trying to get the attention of a waitress, my husband walked upstairs and asked the waiter if we could eat there. The waiter, Cameron , was very helpful and saved the evening."

"This was our first time at this restaurant. It came highly recommended from a "foodie" friend that I trust and Prima didn't disappoint! I met another friend there for lunch who works nearby and it seemed like we we're the only ones in the place. The food was great, the waitress was friendly and attentive, but not constantly in our face. The pricing was EXACTLY what I had expected - $30 per person for the main dish, two draft beers, and a nice tip! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants real Italian food in LoDo Denver, CO."
