Everything is great at this restaraunt: the ambiance is remarkable, the food isa scrumptious, the service is great; they are very helpful, and the prices are worth it. My favorite in Walnut Creek!

Make a reservation somewhere else.: Prima was my favorite. I had been a loyal customer since 1990. But I will never return after I have seen how far the food and service has deteriorated in the last year. The wait staff lacked basic knowledge of how to serve patrons in a fine dinning establishment. They knew nothing about wine and offered no personality or charm. The dress code has become wear your blue jeans and sneekers because no one cares. The menu was void of creativity and offered nothing exotic or interesting, just your basic chicken, fish, pork chop or beef. When I asked why there was no lamb on the menu the waiter basically said it was a matter of economics. Apparently the economy had no conflict charging thirty eight dollars for a new york steak that had been mummified in sodium chloride to mask its poor qualities. That particular entrée was accompanied by a side of vegetables that closely resembled seaweed washed up on a beach in Pacifica. Listen to me, save yourself the money and go to sizzler or spend the money wisly and make your reservation somewhere else.
