"This Berg Hospitality steakhouse recreates the gritty glamour of New York’s Meatpacking District in Houston’s Heights. Designed by Gail McCleese, the industrial aesthetic at the 8,000-square-foot steakhouse and sushi bar uses exposed metals, rustic textures, and soft upholstery fabrics. The space’s original eye-catching red factory crane adorns the dining room, but Prime’s live-fire grills at the restaurant’s center and walls filled with firewood steal the show. Watch as rare cuts of steaks are seared in flickering flames. Try standout dishes like the Dinosaur Bone Marrow with onion jam and grilled sourdough, and sushi dishes like the Prime 131 roll — a combination of A5 wagyu, foie gras, shrimp tempura, avocado, shiso, yuzu aioli, and eel sauce. Don’t skimp on sides or dessert. The ricotta-stuffed mac and cheese and the lemon and lime curd dish served with meringue will make for a memorable meal." - Marcy de Luna
"A popular Houston steakhouse owned by Ben Berg, who opposes the name change to Texas strip." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Channeling the edginess of New York’s Meatpacking District, this steakhouse from Berg Hospitality offers a lively experience, with glimpses into the live-fire cooking at the center of the restaurant, plus the option to cook some of your own in the center of your table, Korean barbecue-style. Start with the Dinosaur Bone Marrow — a massive bone with buttery marrow that’s topped with onion jam and bits of popcorn, served with grilled sourdough for dipping, and the Prime 131 roll, a combination of A5 wagyu, foie gras, shrimp tempura, avocado, shiso, yuzu aioli, and eel sauce. Choose your favorite steak (The Australian wagyu New York strip does not disappoint), and then pair it with its grilled broccolini and its ricotta-stuffed macaroni and cheese shells. For dessert, you’re in for a surprise, whether you choose the basque cheesecake, that comes out with smoke, or the Lemon and Lime plate that comes with a trackable curd-filled lemon and lime, with a shell made of white chocolate, and a side of meringue and cocoa soil." - Brittany Britto Garley
"For those cooler evenings, diners can stay warm under the gentle glow of the heaters while dining on this live-fire steakhouse and sushi restaurant’s patio. Soak in the comfortable and inviting atmosphere where diners can sink their spoons into smoked clam chowder or devour a whole roasted lobster while enjoying a cocktail or two." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
"A restaurant offering a full view of steaks cooking in the center of the venue." - Brittany Britto Garley
