I visited the prime society about 2 weeks back and I walked away very impressed with the service there. and of course the food.

The ambience is very enchanting - the high ceilings, wide chairs and wooden tables give off a somewhat laidback feel. I especially love their paper placemats which were pictures of different animals like a pig, fish, cow etc with the parts labelled. Instead of labelling these parts as sirloin, tenderloin etc with a boring narrative following each heading, they provide witty lines with subtle references to certain celebrities - so subtle that one might miss a few. A very entertaining read while you're waiting for your food to come! Plus they ensure that each placemat on the table differs so that you don't get a repeat of the same animal.

We ordered a seafood platter as a starter ($50 - quite pricey in my opinion) but it wasn't the most generous of platters that I've seen. Well, it was probably quality over quantity. I didn't eat much of it due to my allergies and so I'm not the most qualified to pass judgment on this dish. However, the lobster did come a bit mushy according to my friend, though we weren't sure whether it was actually meant to be like that. So we checked with the waitress who speedily brought us another lobster for replacement.

For the mains, we had a house salad that came with strips of sirloin steak, 2 filet mignons and 1 ribs. Each main came with a serving of seasonal vegetables and steak cut fries. and oh-my-goodness the fries are in a class of their own. crispy and flavourful with a mushy inside, they retained their crunch even towards the end of the meal. And before I forget, the wait staff were very helpful as we actually had the intention to change the fries to baked potato but only decided to do so at the last minute (ie. around the time that the mains were about to be served). When we informed the wait staff, they were very patient about it and said they'd see if the fries had been cooked and see if they could help us change the order. Alas, just at that moment, our mains appeared and we were resigned to an unhealthy side. But having excellent service staff, they still asked politely and helpfully if we would like the baked potatoes to which we answered a resounding yes! (and the baked potatoes arrived very quickly too.)

The food was delicious - the meat very flavourful and tender and really impressed me. I thought it was much better than other pricier establishments where the beef is tough and totally over-rated. However, one of the filet mignons was ordered as medium but came a bit too rare. Not being picky, my friend still ate it happily (it was delicious) but it just got more and more rare towards the middle (actually.. duhh.) so he left it untouched and stuck the little stick that said 'medium' on the rare piece of beef. So at the end of the meal, we called a waiter over (yet again! >.<) and informed them of the mistake and just told him to take the meat to the chef and tell him that the meat was lovely but just not cooked to the right doneness! Again, the polite waiter happily obliged and cleared our plates. So the cynic in me who thought that he would actually just dump all our plates into the dish stack without showing the undercooked beef to the chef, tracked him with my eyes as he traversed the huge hall. to my surprise, he actually DID show it to the chef. ah well.. what can I say...
great service indeed!
