The Prime Rib

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!

Excellent dinner service on a Sunday night! Jimbo was our server and provided hospitable, warm service with on point recommendations. If I had a larger stomach, I would have gone with everything he recommended!

Visited all the way from West Virginia. I was really appreciative of the valet service and being able to access the restaurant all indoors. Upon entry into the restaurant itself, I was greeted promptly and seated. My Server was JimBo and he was awesome. He was knowledgeable about the menu and paring. He was professional, polite and personable. The overall presentation of the restaurant was clean, welcoming, cozy and upscale. Food presentation was not only well but it tasted delicious also. Last but most certainly not least, I had the pleasure of meeting the manger Mark. He came over shortly into my meal to ensure everything was enjoyable. He was also professional and welcoming. The Live music was a bonus. It wasn’t overbearing as I’ve experienced at some other places. The staff overall as a whole was well put together.

This is an old school steakhouse, fine dining experience, done impeccably! The food is outstanding. My prime rib was cooked to perfection and the sides are large enough for three or four people. The piano player delivered ambient but not overbearing music. Our waiter, Bob, was friendly and provided outstanding service. The prices are expensive. But you get what you pay for! It's worth it. Pictured are my Signature Cut Prime Rib (M-R) and the sides: sauteed mushrooms, onion rings, and sauteed mushrooms. Not pictured: our Ceaser salads with anchovies (a REAL Caesar salad) nor my spouse's and my friend's steak au poivre, which they both raved about.

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.

Rooted in Baltimore history, it’s understandable why so many keep coming back to this place, if not for memories alone. My wife and I booked this place for Valentine’s Day well in advance, having high hopes to try top tier steakhouse cuisine. We left full, *not* disappointed but questioning the hype around the food. We ordered the Lobster Bisque and the “Award-Winning” Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. The Lobster Bisque was definitely on the thicker side, almost too thick to be considered a soup in my opinion, and far too heavy on the cream and lacking lobster flavor (however, I am excluding my criticism here because the Lobster Bisque I had at seafood restaurant in Dana Point, CA, was so good I can’t really enjoy Lobster Bisque anywhere else). The crab cake was adequate, and a fresh flavor, but lacking any MD flare. As far as MD standards, I’d honestly say it was subpar. For the main course, I got the USDA Roast Prime Rib (topped with Roquefort sauce because I love bleu cheese), my wife got the Filet Mignon (topped with Marchand de Vin sauce). Thankfully, the meal item that this place is named for was actually quite good, but not superior to any other Prime Rib I’ve had at other steakhouses. Roquefort sauce is also a very potent sauce, so you either really like it or will really hate it. My wife’s Filet was also cooked good and she said tastes amazing alone, but the Marchand de Vin (red wine reduction) had almost no flavor other than butter, which I guess is fine if that’s what you like, and our server did tell us it’s on the “butterier side” than traditional. I still think they could do with a revision here to balance the flavor though. The sides we got was Lobster Mac and Cheese, Creamed Spinach, and their “world famous” potato skins. The Mac is nothing to write home about. Muted cheese flavors and while yes, lobster was present, overall taste to me was bland. A restaurant I went to in St Petersburg, FL, did this type of Mac and Cheese way better. The creamed spinach was good, nothing extraordinary but complimented a traditional steak meal quite well. The potato skins stood out as quite delicious, and coupled with the sour cream and horseradish sauce it was a delicious combination to the Prime Rib. The atmosphere and service here is definitely at a much higher and (I guess?) warrants the elevated prices, but not to the degree of $300+ for two people, considering the overall taste of the food is comparable to places costing less than $200 for an almost equal quality of dining experience. I do not think we will be coming back here, until I see that the menu wholistically is *refreshed* in terms of better balanced flavors. However, if you come here with the intention of just trying a quality cut of Prime Rib (and I recommend getting potato skins as the only side), you will leave fairly satisfied at trying a decent entry for the traditional old school posh steakhouse meal.

Great atmosphere! Called on the phone to place a reservation and they were very friendly! The waiter Bob was great! Bob was very supportive with suggestions and help! They have a pianist playing while we there. They pianist was very skilled!

The food here was amazing! I’ve been to the prime rib in DC, but this Baltimore location was even better. I got the Chilean sea bass while my friend got the signature cut prime rib Oscar style and both food items were delicious! We also shared the oyster Chesapeake, asparagus, creamed spinach and lobster Mac and cheese which were also very good. We will definitely return here in the future!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

My wife has lived in Baltimore her entire life, but had never been to The Prime Rib. I made reservations for the day after Valentine's Day, because they're closed on Mondays. The complimentary valet parking makes it easy to get in and out, although we found it a bit odd that we had to wind our way up a narrow stairwell and through the building to get to the entrance. We were promptly greeted & seated in the center of the room, which was smaller than either of us expected, but not uncomfortably so. I started with the wedge salad, which was a surprisingly small wedge of iceberg lettuce, a handful of sliced cherry tomatoes, some very smoky & crispy thick-cut bacon, and just enough bleu cheese dressing to tie it all together. It was pretty good, but I do wish that it was larger and had more bleu cheese. My wife's lobster bisque was pretty good, but wasn't noticeably better than any other bisque we'd had before. At these prices, one would expect something better than the usual. These were a sign of things to come for the rest of our meal. I ordered the house ribeye (The Prime Rib Steak), medium rare, and my wife ordered the crab cakes. Sides are not included, even at these prices; everything is à la carte, and at highly-inflated prices. We knew that going in, but this was both a treat and a belated Valentine's Day dinner, so we decided to splurge a bit. We both ordered sherry roasted mushrooms, which weren't quite roasted enough & tasted like mushrooms tossed in cooking sherry. The grilled artichokes fared quite a bit better; they had a slight charred lemon flavor, and were perfectly cooked. The Greenberg potato skins were better than expected, and served with a mild horseradish sauce and sour cream topped with chives. The texture reminded me of a thick, crispy kettle chip. On to the main courses - My ribeye was well-seasoned, and smelled great. Unfortunately, it was slightly overdone & I didn't send it back because we'd already waited an hour and a half at that point for our mains. Regardless, even if it were properly cooked, it absolutely wasn't worth ~3x the price of a ribeye elsewhere. My wife's "award-winning recipe" crab cakes were pretty bland, and contained no lump crab at all. They were comprised mainly of shredded crab, and, other than a slight hint of deviled crab seasoning, had very little flavoring. If these were actually award-winning, I suspect that it was bestowed before the advent of Faidley's & Koco's crab cakes, which are both substantially superior to these. We opted for the Basque Cheesecake for dessert. It was very good, but, again, not world-class enough to justify the $14. Based on their appearance and texture, I suspect that the "fresh" strawberries were actually frozen at some point. Our waiter, in particular, was fairly slow the entire night, and didn't really engage us in conversation outside of our orders. The waiters at the other tables around us were quicker & friendlier. Overall, pretty good (but not spectacular) food & slow, detached service didn't justify the cost of this particular outing. Nor did it create a memorable experience for either of us.

We had a terrible experience at the prime rib. When the food came out there was a giant black hair (which happens) but it took nearly 20 minutes to get anyone's attention. I ended up going to the hostess to tell her because our food was cold by then (who was very kind about everything). It took 30-40 minutes after to even get the dish again. By that time it was late and they just wrapped it up to go home. We had a table in the middle and got shoved by waiters every 2 seconds because they pack in too many tables. For the price of this place, it is not worth it.. I've gotten better food and service at TGI Fridays.

I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. Classic steakhouse kicked up a level. Memorable meal and place!

I hadn't been here in at least 30 years, and my spouse never had, so I surprised him for his birthday, and boy, and I'm glad I did. Everything was perfect!! From the welcoming greeting when we arrived, to our choice of a seat in the dining room with soft live piano jazz. Jimbo was our server, and he was fabulous--amusing, attentive, with great menu suggestions, making us feel as though we were very special guests. And the food!!! Jimbo recommended the oysters (on the halfshell), which may have been the best we've ever had (and we've had plenty). We moved right on to the main event--an amazing filet, cooked impeccably (of course), and I had a crab cake, which was excellent. The sides of asparagus, and spinach sauteed with shallots and garlic were generous and delicious. Drinks were spot on, and then the surprise birthday dessert was a very nice touch. Didn't have enough room for my dessert, so we ordered key lime pie to go. It too was excellent. Definitely throwback decor, but we found it really comfortable. The noise level allowed us to have a conversation, but also enjoy the music. When we decided to leave, Jimbo was magically there with the check, which was taken care of promptly. We casually checked the time when we left, and were amazed that the 2 hours had been so perfectly timed we had no idea how long we'd been there. Just wish I had more reasons to splurge at the Prime Rib!

A tale of two servers... went to Prime for my besties birthday last night. Party of 7. Did my homework prior, reading reviews and looking at food pics! So I was really looking forward to the experience and menu. The valet, excellent, free and the work on tips, nice guys! Entrance, lovely door held and greeted with smiles. Now to our server. Our server, I'll call him B, seemed to pick and choose how he engaged with his tables. While he came to take our orders and offered to answer questions... he seemed to get impatient, especially if the question required him to "ask the kitchen". Our orders were placed, and we waited. B rarely came in between our almost 2 hour wait for dinner to check on drinks, over hot bread or inform us that the food was taking unusually long, due to the "packed" house. Meanwhile, waiter Rob who served the tables behind us, engaged with his tables. Made suggestions, informed them of the band that comes on certain nights. Answer questions from his tables with enthusiasm and knowledge. More importantly he used a "crumber" the scraping tool used to remove crumbs from white linen clothes... a "staple" of fine dining! I say this because I server did none of these things.... when you're potentially paying $150 pp for a meal... service matters! Engaging in its customers matter! Robs service is as phenomenal. If you go, ask for him. The food was pretty good, I had the Chilean sea bass, but my bestie had imperial stuffed shrimp and it was just "ok" and not plated well. More importantly after a long wait, many of the items came out cold or Luke warm... so I don't know... 3 stars is all I could manage. Not sure I will go back! I know that establishments are short staff! But if Rob can show up and kick ass on the floor, so could B... that should be the standard!
