Not good value for money

we went there on Oct 10 evening. We went for indoor seating
and were seated at a corner table, by the window.
Lighting was ok, not too bright, but music was a bit too loud

we started with some appetizers, calamari and salsa dips. The former were good, the latter very basic...
We moved on to the main course and ordered some "signature" dishes like the T-bone, eye fillet and other meat-lover cuts.
Cooking was ok but for one (which was closer to medium-rare than rare)

Meat was good, tender, juicy, but all in all, it's over-priced: $70++ for a T-bone, $45-$48++ for the rib-eye fillet...you can easily get at least as good beef cuts for less than that in many places around singapore...Beef can be served with mashed potatoes, diced-potatoes,fries or salad...but no combo possible
To go with that, we had ordered a bottle of New Zealand Pinot Noir, which was ok for a 2006 down under wine. But once again, $88 looked over priced for this kind wine. The wine list was poor actually, with barely a dozen of references.
We finished by ordering some deserts which were globally ok, but nothing really special.
Service was also ok, responsive but not sticky and they don't clear you plate 1.5 seconds after you've caught your last piece of meat

I don't know whether the location, Dempsey/Tanglin Village, is responsible for that "premium", but if it was to spend $100/head, I'd rather have gone to Le Petit Salut few blocks away or some fine-dining experience you can have around the island for the same price.

One of the better steakhouse in Singapore

Sorry but this review is a bit back dated in that I had lunch there in mid Aug and dinner at early Sep. On both occassions, we had mostly beef dishes, the ribeye and filet mignon in mid Aug and in Sep, my party had the rideye, the lamb shank, the sirloin and the wagyu beef.

Generally, the beef was very tasty, succulent, juicy and generally very well prepared. Service was very good too in that the staff had good knowledge of the items on the menu and were prompt with everything. Our comments on the fries being a tad salty was swiftly met with a new full plate of fries.

I have however heard of not so positive feedback on this place in that a friend have commented that the grilled ribs were not up to standard but I haven't tried those myself. Thus far, among the beef items, the filet mignon has been exquisite. It would not be too bold of me to say that next to Morton's, Prime would rank up there for big juicy well prepared steak in Singapore.

Oh, btw, they serve a fabulous sangria too.

Generally, I would say the ambience wasn't fantastic but is not too terrible either. However, being a steak venue, the clothes can smell a bit at the end of the day. As such at the end of the day, one would work away from Prime with a fantstic meal, which was not that pricey though the clothes may not smell the freshest.

 
Must Tries: Filet Mignon, Sangria

Very disappointing - Poor service and food at Prime Society on Fri 8 Aug 2008

My date and I were at Prime Society yesterday Friday evening 8/8/08 hoping to enjoy a nice dinner after hearing rave reviews about it from friends.

We ordered fillet mignon and ribeye steaks. My date wanted it to be
medium while I wanted mine medium rare respectively.

As we partook in our meals, my date found her steak to be more raw
than it should be, and asked it to be more thoroughly cooked. When her
steak returned, some parts of it were still too raw to her satisfaction.

I feedback to our waiter that her steak was not satisfactory. My steak
too, after much later consumption, had some parts that were too raw
for my liking.

The waiter did not take our feedback kindly and was adamant that the
steaks were done as per our instructions.

When I settled the bill with another waiter (different from our
serving waiter), I once again reiterated that our steaks were not up
to standard. This waiter went off to clarify with the first serving
waiter. The first waiter then returned to confront us by slamming
loudly the leather case in close proximity to my ears (which enclosed
the bill and my credit card) which almost threw my card out!

I was close to reprimanding him in the restaurant there and then but I held back as I was with company.

After settling the bill, we walked out and I again mentioned this to
the front receptionist to register our dissatisfaction with our food.

In a nutshell, I am very displeased with the food as well as the poor
service rendered by our serving waiter.

Suffice to say, we will never return to this establishment, and will also advise our friends and clients likewise.

STILL GOOD after all these months !!

This was my third visit to The Prime Society. Each time I visited with a different friend (haha).

I decided to skip the soup. The previous two occasions did not impress me. I tried the calamari and the bread with the 3 dips. These are better choices !!

I still like the food especially the ribs. This last visit I tried their burger. Good respectable burger, I enjoyed it. I help my friend eat his ribs .. still as yummy as always.

Decided to skip desert again not impressed by last 2 visits. (We went to Ben & Jerrys instead).

Unknown to me, The Prime Society has stopped giving 10% off UOB credit cards if spend is less than $120. My bill came up to $112 so I guess I lost out. Be better if staff had whispered something to me.

Ambience is still how I like it. So I will be back again with another friend :)

 
Must Tries: RIBS are great, free parking too (saturdays real crowded)
