We visited SR Prime Steakhouse to celebrate a few recent special occasions!
Located inside Sky River Casino, the restaurant is fairly new, just like the casino itself, and you can definitely tell. The interior is bright and spacious, with high ceilings and large chandeliers. Everything is clean and modern, and just FEELS new (if that makes sense), which adds to the elevated atmosphere inside.
We arrived when they opened and were seated immediately. We had a reservation (they are now on OpenTable) but it was likely unnecessary; however, would recommend one if you're coming after opening as the restaurant was much more full when we left.
The menu consists of classic choices such as steaks, seafood, and various sides. Most of our party ordered a steak/chop and some sides - the portions seemed good and my husband stated his cut was pretty tasty and surprisingly filling. Craving some seafood, I opted for a few choices from the raw bar to try out - the shrimp cocktail and oysters. The shrimp cocktail came plated in a non-traditional way, as if it were a fancy dish, which was unique. The oysters were large, and tasted fresh and delicious.
Service was excellent and everyone was very friendly and attentive from beginning to end, and our water glasses were never empty. However, the main issue was that food took an extremely long time to come out. Understandably, they likely needed some time to get the kitchen up and running initially, but we were one of the first tables seated for the night and waited at least 45 minutes. They were so kind as to give us complimentary dessert at the end to celebrate our special occasions, but this unfortunately resulted in MORE waiting (maybe another 15-20 minutes) despite the chosen desserts only being a simple bowl of mango sorbet and an affogato; both desserts were plated very plainly and our waitress poured the espresso into the cup of gelato at our table, so neither required extensive preparation beforehand - perhaps the kitchen just became even more backed up as the night wore on.
Overall, service and ambiance were both great - would recommend SR Prime as a good destination for special occasions and date night. We're happy that we checked it out, but due to the fairly standard menu and high prices typical of a steakhouse, it would probably not be somewhere we frequent on a regular basis. I would also make sure to take time into account as it is unlikely to be a quick dinner...be ready to get comfortable!
