The Prime Rib

From the time I was a little girl living on the 400 block of East Chase Street, I set my sights on visiting The Prime Rib Restaurant. I can still picture the elegantly dressed patrons stepping out of their limousines and heading into that stunning establishment while my friends and I were often sent back to our neighborhood I finally made it to The Prime Rib, and it was absolutely breathtaking. This experience was more than worth it! When I walked in the door, I was treated like royalty and escorted right to my seat. As I settled in, I heard the joyful sound of a saxophone playing "Happy Birthday." Then, I was presented with my gorgeous cake brought by my grandchildren, along with beautiful flowers from everyone. It was truly amazing! Even hours after returning home, I'm still smiling. I had a fantastic night with my family, and I want to say I love you all. Thank you for making this such a memorable evening!The food was absolutely magnificent; every dish we savored was cooked to absolute perfection. It’s no surprise that this establishment has thrived throughout my entire lifetime. Each bite was a delightful journey of flavors, showcasing the skill and dedication of the chefs. The ambiance exuded elegance, just as I had always envisioned it would, with beautifully arranged tables and a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the exquisite cuisine.

I came here on last minute plans for my birthday but I had such an amazing time it was clearly meant to be. I had the mignon and my friend had the lamb and they were both good perfect. My steak had this beautiful crust that I loved. The sides were good but I wish I would have got the corn over the creamed spinach. The cocktails were good as well and the crème brûlée ended the night off well. The pianist was amazing and really set a beautiful atmosphere. I’m really looking forward to coming here again

Absolutely Divine. Excellent food. Service was outstanding. Bathrooms were immaculately clean. Ambiance was perfect, live pianist and bass player - such a nice classy touch. Loved my first visit to The Prime Rib. I will certainly be back!

Came here with my wife to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. Explained this in the reservation, and when the restaurant called me to confirm it, they mentioned that it was for our anniversary. We get here and no one acknowledges what we came here for, yet another couple got a free dessert for their anniversary. It’s not about the free food, it’s about being acknowledged, and as a lesbian couple, the sting of no one caring at such a high end place was disappointing to say the least. After reading some of the other negative reviews, it’s giving that this place profiles against queer and Black people and does not give them the same quality service. On top of that, the food was simply mediocre. We both got the 8oz filet which were both overseared and lacked flavor. My mashed potatoes were inedible because of the amount of onion put into it. They were over whipped as well. My wife’s baked potato was not salted. I’m surprised at the lack of seasoning on all the food in general. Overall, extremely disappointing for a place that constantly gets good reviews. I wish we would’ve had a better experience here. Will not be back and will tell everyone we know to avoid this place like the plague.

Excellent experience all around although I would dispute my server’s “medium rare” temp on the ribeye. Chimichurri sauce was fantastic!

I’ve been to Michelin star restaurants across the US and internationally, and not a single one was as arrogant and rude as the service we had here. Our waiter, Jimbo, was so condescending and inappropriate that we had to ask for another server. We had to send our steak back because we ordered medium and it was served well done. Overall, very disappointing experience- fell short on both service and food quality.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the service was exceptional- my server was attentive without being intrusive. The steak was cooked to protection, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I love the atmosphere and vibe. There was a pianist playing the entire time while I was eating.

My Chopped Steak was a little overcooked (my fault, ordered medium-well), but still tasty. The service attention and atmosphere are top-notch! The pecan pie is excellent.

This place really has the luxurious feel with an old school vibe. We went Saturday night and sat at the bar. Let's get this out of the way- the old fashioned was not good. It tasted mostly like bitters. Now on to the good stuff! We had the New York Strip - mine medium rare, cooked perfectly. The other was au poivre which basically means crusted in delicious black pepper. The price tag is high but these were definitely worth it. For sides we had the classic mashed potatoes and sherry roasted mushrooms. All together it made one great bite of steak. Our bartenders were friendly and quick with our order. They had a lovely band which really made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. This spot would be great for a date night or a special occasion!

This was an excellent experience. An old school steakhouse with comfortable seating and outstanding service. My steak was perfect. I highly recommend The Prime Rib.

Been in this area for 25 years and this was my first time at the Prime Rib!!! Wow best Steak House in Baltimore!!! Old-school supper club vibe, jazz quartet playing, waiters who have been there FOREVER. Amazing steaks, apps and crabcakes! It's not just about the food; it's the experience!!!

What sets The Prime Rib apart isn't just the amazing food, it's the atmosphere and service. The prime rib was one of the best I've had: flavorful, perfectly cooked, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The bar team deserves a shoutout too! the drinks were spot-on, from the bourbon selections to their signature cocktails. Service throughout the night was attentive and personable, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The space has a sophisticated charm with live piano music in the background, which elevated the entire evening. This is easily one of the best dining spots in Baltimore when you want a memorable meal.

The Prime Rib in Baltimore exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with polished yet genuinely warm service. The prime rib itself was cooked to perfection--juicy, tender, and seasoned beautifully. Portions are generous, and the presentation feels timeless. The cocktails were crafted with care (highly recommend the martini), and the wine list offered plenty of excellent pairings. The whole evening had a classic, almost old-school elegance that made it feel special without being stuffy. An outstanding dining experience all around.

I am completely enamored with everything about The Prime Rib. One walk up the steps into the dining room that is adorned with leopard print carpet and a live piano player, I knew that I was in a place I would enjoy. We opted to sit at the bar, and Dan and Austin took care of us. At around 6:30 on a Sunday this bar was absolutely popping. Thankfully, a large party at the bar had a table resi so we snagged seats in the corner of the bar and began a lovely journey of martinis, carbs and of course prime rib. We started with the house salad which was great. We also split what I heard was one of their most popular dishes - a potato skin basket. I am unsure how I lived 36 years of life without ever experiencing such a thing. Who doesn't want perfectly crispy potatoes to be topped with horseradish and sour cream? It was DIVINE. On to the main - we opted to split the prime rib. It's a hefty 14 oz portion so you definitely want to share. There are a variety of sauces you can have with your entrees here, and we opted for bernaise. It also comes with horseradish. For sides, we got the creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. Life hack, save a potato skin and top it with creamed spinach. The great Anna S showed me this hack, and I am here to say this woman knows what's up. In terms of drinks, I of course had to order a dirty martini. This is a classic steakhouse dirty. It is filled to the brim, so much so they don't even add the olives into the drink until you take a few sips. The olives are hand stuffed with blue cheese and a wonderful salty addition to the briny martini of your dreams. This place is a total vibe. The bar has its own menu as well featuring sandwiches and a burger so I feel there is something to enjoy for every price point and craving here. Loved my experience, and especially loved knowing this has been family-owned and operated restaurant in Baltimore since 1965! A great steakhouse, good hospitality, and martinis truly never go out of style.

Very expensive, very old school - basically to the point that the vast majority of the clientele is carrying AARP cards. I tried the prime rib - medium rare - as they're named after it. As is often the case with steak houses, they went light on seasoning. Unlike other steak houses (like Bones in Atlanta), I didn't find the sides to be particularly well cooked. Au Gratin potatoes, asparagus. I also had a bite of the "chopped steak" - which is basically just a high end hamburger with no bun. Pretty unimpressed, overall, and I have no intent to go back as there wasn't a single standout dish that made me think they had a higher ceiling. Rounding down a star because of *just* expensive this place is. It was $250 or so for two people. I will say I wish I'd ordered the NY strip - maybe given them a slightly better shot at delivering something that actually qualifies as steak. The service was predictably attentive. They don't get a bonus for that, though, because if you're paying even half these prices that should be a given. Interior: wood, live piano, white tablecloths. I doubt the place has changed since the late 1970s, or whenever it was they opened.

Old-school steakhouse vibes -- dark wood, tuxedoed waiters, and a live jazz trio. The ribeye is everything you want it to be: tender, perfectly cooked, and seasoned simply to let the meat shine. Portions are generous, and the martinis are stiff. It's pricey, and the style is very classic (read: not trendy), but that's the charm.

Wonderful experience to celebrate a birthday. The cocktails are strong and delicious. My gin martini was shaken well and came with 3 delicious blue cheese stuffed olives as requested. We ordered two large steaks to share for 5 people. 1 appetizer, 3 side dishes, including lobster mac and cheese. Ended the evening with 3 desserts including a giant icecream sundae. The service was smooth. There's mostly business diners here. We brought out two children (10 year old or so) and they were the only children we saw this Friday evening. Love the piano playing in the background. Paid Valet parking offered - bring cash for valet and tip. Had to go up a narrow flight of stairs from the valet garage.

A true 5 star restaurant! The ambiance was very intimate and the pianist was icing on the cake. The service was excellent where not only your assigned waiter served you the other waiters ensured water was full. The food was delish and EVERYTHING came out as ordered and cooked to perfection. The lamb chops and lobster mac were to die for. Hubby had the pork chop and loved it also. Drinks were great and you only needed one! Can't wait to return!!

My first time at The Prime Rib! This place is a Baltimore institution known for its topnotch service, classy interior, and incredible seafood and steak. We got so much food on this particular evening as it was an early Christmas celebration for us. Here's what we ordered... - The potato skins: A must order! They are famous for a reason. Incredibly crispy and come with sour cream and horseradish on the side. - The house salad: Also a classic item. I wasn't a huge fan of the egg chopped throughout the salad but the flavor was cut well with the pepperoncini. - The clams casino: It more bacon than it is clams but still yummy. - The shrimp cocktail: Giaaaant shrimp! SO worth the price. - The New York Strip au poivre: A yummy piece of steak coated in coarse black pepper. - Side of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach: I'm normally not a fan of creamed spinach but when it was combined with the steak and mashed potatoes it was incredible. - The strawberry cheesecake: soooooo freakin' amazing. Definitely more cheese than cake. I also want to note that the dirty martini is one of the best I've ever had. It was made a little less dirty than I'm used to with the stuffed olives on the side because they fill the glass to the brim to the point where there's no room for a garnish. Once I sipped it a bit and threw the olives in, the martini transformed into an extra extra dirty martini that was just what I wanted. Bravo to the bartender for knowing exactly how to make this fickle drink and not overcompensating with the salt! Don't forget to try their famous piney too! It's a delicious pineapple vodka concoction that is so good it's dangerous.

We finally had an opportunity to have dinner at the Prime Rib after living in Baltimore for more than two years. We had tickets to a performance at the symphony and decided to have dinner the Prime Rib before walking over to the Meyerhoff (the Prime Rib is conveniently located to a few theaters and halls, so it's a great pre-performance option). We started with the "Our Famous Greenberg Potato Skin Basket" - 4 perfect fried potato skins with horseradish sauce, which was a great starter. For my entree, I had the rack of lamb with mint jelly and amarena cherry mustard, which I really loved (perfectly cooked and well accompanied). My husband had the roast prime rib, and we shared the creamed spinach. Everything was good - but come hungry - these portions are serious! All our drinks were good as well - wine and cocktails! The service was great, and the restaurant does have ambiance (old school, and very traditional, but great ambiance)! Definitely a great spot for a fancy night out before a show! Keep it on your list and check it out!

An annual tradition ! My fiancé and I have gone for Valentine's Day since we started dating . This year made our 6th annual Valentine's Day dinner at the prime rib and as usual they did not disappoint. The live music is so nice , the service is always impeccable and I've never had a complaint about the food freshness and flavors . Their options are plenty and they do every single one right the first time ! We will be continuing our tradition

Went here with my wife for Thanksgiving dinner. We were in Baltimore visiting family. Food was excellent. Service was attentive and very good. All of the staff were very nice. I would highly recommend for a nice night out on the town.

Had dinner there last night. It was a great experience the decor was amazing, Aron our server was right on point . Probably the best waiter I have ever had. Our food was unbelievable we started off with shrimp cocktail & the wedge salad that was amazing, for dinner we had the filet ,sea bass, stuffed baked potato,sautéed spinach which everything was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. The drinks were great . This has to be one of the best restaurants in Baltimore.

My favorite restaurant in Baltimore. Everything is 10/10. The staff is very friendly and provided impeccable service. It's a very upscale and elegant restaurant. The pianist played a few song as we dined. My filet was perfectly cooked. The creme brulee was so delicious, I ordered two of them!

I had an early date here (5:30pm) recently and we had a great time. The ambience of this spot is so comforting and the service cannot be beat; stunning. I was shocked to hear my waiter had been with the company for 50 years. He laughed and pointed to a peer who was on 51 years and pointed out a few other very old-timers. Wow! Needless to say, the staff is amazing and they know what's what in the entire place. But I'd be remiss to leave out the food. I went with the prime rib. I was hesitant because it's a steakhouse, but was not disappointed.

We trusted Prime Rib with our 10 year anniversary dinner. That trust was well placed. Service was impeccable the whole night through. We started with drinks at the bar; my wife got an excellent aviation. I got a rye old fashioned. Both were excellent. We settled into our table with live jazz and the seafood sampler. Amazing prawns and oysters and crab. Excellent all around. We then transitioned to streaks (filet and ny strip) with brussels and lobster Mac as our sides. Everything was superb. It was excellent in the way that you almost don't understand what you need or want but the service provides exactly what was right. The seafood and meat was perfection, accompanied by excellent parings of white and red wines. To top it off, a chocolate dessert and appreciation from the staff and manager. We could not have asked for a better ten year wedding anniversary. I will cherish the memory of this meal for years to come. Thank you, for making us special. Shout out to Sam, our excellent guide though the menu, and Mark, the manager who made sure that everything was exemplary. Prime Rib is an institution. Deservedly so. I'm so thankful for the experience and care on such a special occasion.

Was a great meal but don't believe it's a memorable experience by any means. Had the NY Strip but was overdone and definitely not worth $70. Potato skins and artichokes were great sides. Waiter forgot to bring out Caesar salad to start.

Excellent food Great service Expensive, however, you get what you pay for. Looking forward to going again.

Ordered their signature 30 oz prime rib and it was cooked perfectly. Really appreciated the freshly grated horseradish--I've been to many steakhouses and this is a first. Service was attentive, fast and accurate. Restaurant decor was from a different era--live electric bass guitar and pianist provided mood music.

loved it. the food was yummy. the chef had a beautiful energy. i loved meeting him. bartender was cool too. the ambiance is everythinggggg. you feel like you're back in the 40s. i had on jeans and actually felt like bb next time, ima wear different fabrics. it is a beautiful restaurant. they had music! the night i went, a pianist. the ladies beside me were gossiping for sure. but it was cool in like a old rich movie way i'm going back!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore! I typically go here for special occasions, so I was excited to spend my birthday there last night. Parking was definitely a challenge upon arrival, so after circling the block a few times, I gave up and valeted my car. Valet costs $10, so I recommend bringing cash for that. Upon entering the restaurant, no one was at the host stand to greet or seat me. I stood for a few moments before opting to sit at the bar. The bartender was friendly, quick, and attentive. I ordered a standard cocktail, the chopped steak, and a side of mashed potatoes. My food came out very quickly and was pretty tasty. The steak was a touch drier than I would've liked but ultimately, it was still a great meal. The mashed potatoes were like a boat so know that if you order them, you will likely need a box like I did. I ordered a piece of key lime pie to wrap up the evening, and the bartender was nice enough to put a candle on it and comp it for me as a gift. It was extremely tasty and fresh and the perfect way to end my night. I loved the live music that they had and had a wonderful time overall. I can't wait to go back!

My husband and I are huge fans of prime rib and were super hype to eat here. I made reservations about 2 weeks in advance for a Saturday at 5 pm (we love eating super early) for our anniversary. It definitely has that old school fancy steakhouse vibe where people bring their business partners and wine&dine. All the waiters are dressed up in suits. We were seated in a cozy corner in the piano/music room side. It was much appreciated as we enjoyed the privacy and social distancing. Our waiter was nice and brought us over their cocktail menu. My husband got an old fashion while I stuck with water. He told us their specials for the day, and we decided on getting the oysters Rockefeller for an appetizer, 4 sides: lobster Mac&cheese, corn off the cob, creamed spinach, and mashed potatoes. I got the house prime rib 14 oz (medium) while my husband went with the 30 oz bone in (medium rare(. If you think that this is way too much food for 2 people, you would be correct. The oysters were really good, but what isn't with all the cheese and butter? Highly recommended. Our food came out, and we were in awe. Our prime ribs were huge. My husband's was THICK. Our waiter offered us fresh ground pepper as well. The prime ribs were delicious and very tasty. I do wish we could get more of the au jus. The sides were delicious. The mashed potatoes was surprisingly My favorite. It did look a little plain at first, but man was it flavorful. I could not stop taking swipes of it. The creamed spinach was fine, the corn was REALLY good. Very sweet and just perfect. The lobster Mac and cheese was delicious, wish there was a bit more lobster as it was a little hard to find. By the end of dinner, we still had a lot left. We barely made a dent. Our waiter graciously packed up everything very neatly for us. They also surprised us with a slice of their chocolate mousse dessert for our anniversary. Even brought it out with a candle which was super sweet. It was SO good too. That white chocolate sauce was amazing and a really good complement to the rich dark chocolate. We also got the bread pudding (we went all out for this dinner), and it was fine. I would definitely skip the bread pudding next time and eat more of that delicious chocolate dessert. Overall, the Prime Rib was fantastic. It's a good place for a date night or birthday celebrations (there were a couple of birthdays that night!). I can't wait to take my parents and my inlaws here at some point.

One of my favorite fine dining restaurants anywhere, hands down! I grew up eating at The Prime Rib with my parents and now it's my boyfriend and I's go-to celebration restaurant. Service is always top-notch and I have never left disappointed. The potato skin basket is a MUST and their namesake Prime Rib is phenomenal. This time I opted for the lamb chops and they were amazing! The free valet outside is a huge perk. I cannot say enough good things about The Prime Rib, do yourself a favor and check it out!

Everything was exceptional. Totally old school vibe and definitely an extravagant meal but worth it for the experience. The service was Michelin level and the food was impeccable. The prime rib steak with the fresh shaved horseradish is the thing to have and if they happen to have profiteroles on the menu it's worth starting with desert(they normally only have them for special holidays). The ice cream sundae however ridiculous to order at the end of a indulgent steak dinner is worth every calorie.

The soft shell crab as an appetizer was excellent. The lobster bisque was also excellent. Our steak entrees were cooked perfectly. The waitstaff were very attentive. Highly recommended for a date night or special occasion. Will definitely be going back.

1'29'23- Nice upscale restaurant. The Prime Rib is a nice upscale restaurant. Our waiter was very nice... older black gentleman... and the bar tender even came to our table to take out cocktail order. I had the a French 75- not the best I've had but the liquor was there. My friend had a sidecar which she really enjoyed. We both ordered the caesar salad- crisp, fresh, tons of fresh parm. My friend had the filet mignon- tender and cooked to perfection. I had the lobster tails topped with the LUMP crab- FRESH SEAFOOD We also shared the garlic mashed potatoes. Overall the food was definitely fresh (I keep saying fresh ) and cooked very well but I thought everything needed a tad more seasoning. The ambiance is a little stuffy for my liking but a nice place to have a quite expensive meal.

For fine dining in Baltimore, it's good but nothing special. There's nothing on the menu that will blow you away- typical steak house menu which was a little disappointing. The lamb was well cooked and flavorful and the potato skins were nice but overall, pretty outdated and overpriced! I love an opportunity to get dressed up though so if you have the $$ to spend, it's a nice night out!

Indulge in the impeccable perfection of prime rib, where every aspect is flawlessly executed. Whether you desire a memorable evening out or simply want to pamper yourself with a delightful martini and a delectable prime rib steak, this is the place to be. This night I brought my own wine in which you can buy Gabrio Bini a natural wine, that made the night even more special . The bartenders here are incredibly friendly and highly hospitable, ensuring a delightful experience. That's the review, santé

Everything about The Prime Rib is top tier! They have valet parking which is so convenient- it's kind of hard to find street parking, depending on what night you go on. When you walk in, you're greeted and seated pretty quickly. The bar was full when I came in, which told me that the drinks were probably good (I'm not a drinker), and there was a jazz musician playing near the bar. Once seated, our waiter, Solomon, learned everyone's names and didn't forgot for the entire time we were there! He was so attentive all throughout and even brought over Benadryl for a guest that had an allergic reaction. I ordered the sea bass which was so buttery and fluffy (I'm drooling just thinking about it). We also ordered apps and veggie sides for the table. There was honestly nothing that I didn't like there. I will warn you- the dollar signs don't lie. Expect to pay at least $100 for your meal, but I promise, it's worth it for a fancy night out! Also, dress to impress, but even if you don't, you'll feel totally welcomed and at home.

I go old school tonight dining at a Baltimore classic: The Prime Rib. It opened in 1965. Gotta have a piano player in the dining room. Chris, my server, was super talented and is someone I highly recommend? I start with a perfect Belvedere Martini with Blue Cheese Olives. Chris didn't spill a drop in its delivery. I must try the signature Greenberg Potato Skins. They were put on the menu when the restaurant first opened. Perfectly deep fried. Served with horseradish sauce. Yum! The signature cut of Roast Prime Rib is exquisite. This slab is 14 ounces of perfection. I can't imagine someone eating the 30 ounce full cut. Served with raw horseradish. Sautéed White Button Mushrooms are a delicious side! Everything about this evening was perfect!

My fiance brought me here for our anniversary. It was such a great place for such an occasion. It was romantic and the service was good. We got steak with potatoes and everything tasted great! I really liked all their cocktails. We ended up trying a ton of their cocktails. I would recommend this spot!

I've rarely been as disappointed as I was with my experience at The Prime Rib and it's painful to type those words. The crab cake was bland and had shell in it, and to be honest, at those prices shell shouldn't have been anywhere near my crab cake. The Greenberg potato skins were okay although the dipping sauce was broken and I don't know why I expected things to get better. Service was atrocious, the staff seemed angry there weren't more guests and my dinner companion remarked that she'd never had such an experience in a place where we'd both been coming for years. Maybe it was an off night, maybe it was just our experience or maybe The Prime Rib needs to check itself and its current standards to avoid future reviews of this ilk.

Overpriced and not great food or ambience. $10 valet. $20 makers mark old fashioned. $55 chewy pork chop. $16 "famous" potato skins which were literally just the fried thin skins. Table next to us sent back their $125 prime rib too. Black and mirrored with cheetah carpeting, ambience all seemed outdated. $1050 for 6 people + tip Just was not worth it at all. Bradley waiter was very nice though but we Will not be going back.

Jim provided excellent service Restaurant is skimping on the Strip Steak,,, 12 oz at $70 doesn't cut it, I can get 12oz at Outback Most other Steakhouses have at least 14-16-18oz strip They are also missing 22oz Cowboy steak for those who desire bigger cuts. This is an inexcusable oversight by management Prime rib Steak was excellent if not pricey 38oz for $125, but a hefty cut! Classic Prime Rib is the best in Country They need to look at competitors and up the selections. All else is top notch.

Thanks, to a dear friend who traveled from Atlanta and recommended this restaurant, I celebrated my birthday at the Prime Rib on Sunday evening. This is an upscale restaurant with a mature crowd. The live band in the dinner area is a great touch. Nathan was our wonderful server and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. He knew a lot of the history of the restaurant and suggested great food options. He was engaging and exceed exceptional customer service. I ordered the house salad which was very tasty! I also had the pineapple martini which was ok. I opted for a glass of Malbec to end the night which was a great choice. I ordered the USDA Prime Filet with the Lobster Tail .This was definitely the best steak I've had and the spices and taste was out of this world! Wow! I also ordered sautéed spinach and that was also tasty. Nathan had heard I was celebrating a birthday and brought out a dessert with candle on it. That really made me feel special. This is definitely one of the best places I have had dinner and definitely worth the drive to Baltimore City. Valet parking is available in the garage which is covered.

The title of this review is, "just order take out" We went to The Prime Rib this past Saturday, November 19th to celebrate my dads 60th birthday. When you think of the prime rib, you think "old school, white table cloth, high end food and expert service". This experience was quite the opposite. Upon arriving at 7pm, our server completely ignored us for the first 15 minutes. When we finally got our wine, we requested that a certain bottle be opened, but he insisted that we start with the other bottle first. After that, he ran away for another 20 minutes. When we finally got him over to us to put in our dinner entrees, if someone didn't order a prime rib, he made a rude comment and said "thats not what people come here for". He was rude and condescending the entire night. When we finally finished eating, we were eager to get the check and get out of there given that it took 2 1/2 hours to "enjoy" this experience. However, I will say, the food was pretty good. Is it worth it to get take out? Maybe, but it's typically never as good. Is it worth going back to the prime rib? Absolutely not. Long story short, if you're looking to spend $800+ on a dinner... and actually want to enjoy it...Go somewhere else. There are other fantastic places in Baltimore to treat your family, significant other, etc to a beautiful evening. This was my first and last time dining at The Prime Rib.

The dining room and ambiance here is really nice. the service, including wine service and food was on par for a fine dining establishment. However, this is a steakhouse and the centerpiece should be the steaks. My wife's filet was only average, and barely steakhouse grade, however, my NY strip was so low quality, I literally was thinking "WTF?" How does a cut like this even wind up in the kitchen? We've been to steak houses all over the country, and this was easily the worst. How does this even happen? Does management really think that Baltimore diners lack the sophistication and knowledge of what a dry aged prime steak looks and tastes like? Do they think assume they are provincial and stupid? If eating low quality steaks in a nice atmosphere is your thing, by all means go. So disappointing.

Great food, old style feel - but the prices have gotten disproportionately outrageous to other similar restaurants. I was disappointed in a $400 tab - no wine - on my last visit.

Best avoided. Staff was deplorable. Jimbo used slurs against our family and made several comments about spitting in our food. Hostile dining at its finest. I was excited to dress up and go somewhere nice with my husband. I felt like we had walked back in the 40s and were only being tolerated. Call me old fashioned but I don't want my waiter to reek of alcohol.

Absolutely overpriced for the food that they served. Everything that we ordered was OK, nothing stood out and with the price, we expected a lot more. The food at Gordon Ramsey was cheaper and had way more flavor than the food we ordered. The food and atmosphere were bland. Even with the Oscar style toppings to my steak, my steak was underseasoned and dry. The only thing we enjoyed were the nice waiters and good drinks. We will not be coming back. There are other options with the same price that are worth exploring.

True to form & mission, the Prime Rib delivered impeccable service, food, & beverage in an authentic " Rat Pack Era" style steak house way. Manager, Chavez, greeted our party of 10 at the entrance. Everyone got a drink at the beautifully appointed and stocked bar; Boulevardiers, Manhattan's, & Cosmos were the group's cocktails of choice. Our waiter, Brian, met us at the bar to greet us and inform us that our table was ready when we were but, of course, at our leisure. We were sat in the back of the first dining room to the strains of the three piece Jazz Combo that filled the room with the sounds of Friday night, not too loud, not to soft, just right. We were sat at the black the black leather banquet 5 on a side. Brian made sure everyone had a drink or if any were ready for another. He took care of those requests then filled us in on the fish specials. (The seafood is fabulous, if you're not into beef!) Kerry and I each started with the wedge salad- perfectly refreshing and lighter start to our meals. Others had Lobster Bisque & The Oysters casino were standouts. My Sirloin, recommended by Brian arrive perfectly Medium rare as did my wife's Filet. Each was a beautiful specimen of their respective cuts. We shared the not to be missed Greenberg Skins as our accompaniment. The couple nearest us each got Prime Rib which they agreed was "a plateful of meat"! They seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. The meals are served a'la cart and are not inexpensive but worth it if you wish for as fine a dining experience as you'll ever receive. Oh and, btw, Brian knows how to not only how recommend wine with your meal (Sancerre with Sea Bass, yes please!) but he also actually knows how to open and present a bottle which has be rare in the "after times" in my experience. An extraordinary experience and just a good time for all. All thanks to the staff and the attention to their craft.

It is with profound sadness that I'm writing this review. I grew up in Baltimore and have been coming for many years. I now live in CA and come to the Prime Rib every time I'm home. WTF happened? Well as I understand it, they have new ownership and a new general manager who have absolutely ruined an iconic restaurant. Now for the details: --salads are served wet with brown lettuce. --the crab cakes that used to be lump and amazing are now golfball sized made with shredded crab. I dare say Krab. --the broccolini was cooked like my grandma's green beans in the 1960s. --the steaks that used to be Prime are clearly not. Maybe they should rename the restaurant The Choice Rib. --the crab imperial once the city's best is now cold and watery Well, you get the idea. Maybe the money they spent on the renovation drained them of working capital for quality ingredients. BTW, you cannot tell the difference. Please reboot and can the chef and GM and restore this gem.

I went to The Prime Rib for Thanksgiving dinner and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The turkey was very well cooked and lightly seasoned. This was the BEST turkey I have had in recent memory. My one concern was the stuffing was made with sausage and I don't eat pork. The chef gave me extra turkey to make up for it. The bread, mashed potatoes, mushrooms with Sherry and - the cranberry compote were ample size and very good! I got my leftovers to go and I ate it twice today - breakfast and dinner! (I wish I had more.) The key lime pie was extraordinary as was the service!!! The ambiance was excellent. The decor was elegant with a piano playing, and they have free valet parking! I'm going to try to go back for my next special occasion.

Absolutely positively phenomenal always 150 super stars plus and then some This place is great The service is top notch

They were kind enough to accommodate our large party on a Tuesday evening to celebrate a birthday. Free garage valet, huge plus. The place still smells kind of musty at the entrance. Inside is cozy and warm. Live music, very attentive service. They have a standard menu and they do it well. Crab cakes were good, potato crisps, sea bass, rockfish and the crab imperial all well received. One of the sautéed spinach sides came out kind of dry and did not look or taste like the others..weird. Otherwise, we had a great evening and the food was enjoyable.

Reasons to give it a 5 star review: The prime rib steak was the best! Live music was nice and a nice atmosphere. Not too dark inside which is great When the waiter spilled my drink he brought over a small table cover for the mess which was nice. Things that took the review down: We had a reservation at 7, and when we showed up they gave us the a small table in the very corner of the restaurant, shoved so far in the corner that my left shoulder touched the wall and my right shoulder rubbed against another guests back, at the table sitting next to us. Thankfully they fixed this when I mentioned it, but the even beginning thought that anyone would be willing to pay $300 for a meal and be shoved in a corner is ridiculous. The waiter was ok, I asked two times what his recommendation for a drink was based on what I like and he ignored me both times to talk about the food specials instead. The "famous potato skins" were not great. Great for Olive Garden but not for a heavy price point. It makes you feel as though you're just eating what they have left over from the mashed potatoes with sour cream on the side. So plain. Not worth the $350 price point

My wife and I went for our anniversary dinner. Food was not as good as usual, but was ok. We had leftovers to be boxed up to take home, and one of the busboys took dirty dishes from another table, as well as the dirty linen napkins and put them on the the tray with our food. The waiter was unaware and returned to our table with the contaminated food boxed up for us to take home. We made him aware and they originally wanted to take 50% off of my wife's rack of lambchops. The rack consisted of approximately 12 chops and only 3 had been eaten. When that was brought to their attention, they agreed to take off 75% of the chops. They gave me a new steak and new sides. We had to ask to see the manager who came out after being requested. We found out that the manager was in the kitchen cooking meals because they didn't have a chef. We paid what was asked but will never return. The lamb chops were overcooked and wasn't as flavorful as in the past. My roasted prime rib was not cooked properly as in the past. Very disappointed on such a special occasion. The waiter was very nice!
