| Disappointing
The wait staff are just horsing among themselves all the time.
Couln't get any attention througout the whole afternoon, and the place was almost empty of customers, and they were fully staffed!
Had to ask for my bill multiple times, which i eventually stood up and paid at the till itself.
Giant rostisserie at prime society was the only saving grace. |

| great service
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! |

| All-Around Winner
I'm not sure where the other bad reviews came from as I cannot fault this place at all.
-Good Ambience. We ate outside and it was quite nice.
-A hostess who was friendly and gracious and seated us immediately.
-Great Service. Best in Singapore so far. Professional wait staff who know what they're doing
-Excellent steak, well-prepared and well-presented. We had the filets and they were scrumptious. Good selection of sauces as well.
-Amazing spinach and tomato side, sauteed in white balsamic vinegar.
The only improvement I could recommend would be to upgrade their outside seating area. For drinks, the back is lovely, but the tables are too low for proper eating. Thus, outside dining is relegated to the side and front of the restaurant which are adjacent to a busy road and the parking lot. If they could just add a few more plants, maybe a water feature or two, they'd be set.
Yes, it might be pricey, but I've paid more money for worse food and service in Singapore. I'm happy to pay the price if I know it will be worth it. FYI, our food bill includes a $130 bottle of excellent South African wine (2003 Theta - wonderful for steak). |

| Easter Brunch
This place has had it's fair share of critics of late but as the Missus booked it for a family brunch, was open to giving it a fair crack of the whip. Easter Brunch was priced at 48+++ for adults so it's a cheap option compared to the hotels in town. We were greated by a giant rabbit and tray of goodies (gratis) and shown straight to our table. First impressions are good, the staff were attentive and helpful. Mind you we were the only people there at noon...
Buffet is a good spread of salads, seafoods, meats of all varieties, a superb roast beef, great selection of veggies but a reasonably mean sweet selection. However at these prices, you can't complain. The food was great, service was good, free pics with the rabbit and the mother in law was happy. You can't say fairer than that! |

| Good Steak? You gotta be kidding!!
I heard about this new place that came up - prime society. Wanted badly to try it since I heard from friends that it is quite good and asiaone rated it above average.
The restaurant looks good. Modern design. High Ceiling. Impressed by the outlook of the restaurant. We were being seated with an envelope each on your table. The envelope contains all your cutlery. Ok - interesting concept.
We ordered the bread with dips and I had a medium ribeye. My husband had a medium fillet mignon. My friends ordered the same.
Review:
bread with dips - There are only a few TINY slices of bread with quite a bit of dips. I wonder why. Do they expect us to eat the dips on its own?
steak - The ribeye was paper thin! Its not premium at all! On top of that, it is bland. I ordered medium but i think they served between medium well and well done! It is like eating overcooked meat with no marinade whatsoever. How strange. How can they pride themselves as a steakhouse and make it so badly. I think some coffeehouse can do better than that. I give a 2/10
The Fillet Mignon is much better. But how bad can a fillet mignon be? It is already suppose to be tender. I give a 7/10.
I will not go there again. I think that they are over-priced. |
