PRIME at the Plaza

Crema's Take

This Plaza-located spot has a genuinely welcoming crew and offers a rotating daily chef's special that can be a solid value when it lands well, though the kitchen's execution is frustratingly unpredictable—you might get something tasty and reasonably portioned one day, then encounter questionable food safety practices and inconsistent quality the next. If you're stopping by for traditional coffee drinks and light bites, come for the friendly staff's warmth, but manage your expectations on the food side.

All the staff are really nice but every time I wanna order something from the grill someone starts wiping sweat from their face with their hands I am talking every time I don't think they're conscious of their actions and they keep on cooking I know it's hot but have a towel or something I will never eat here again

The quality is extremely inconsistent. It frequently changes from decent to disgusting. For the first time in my life, I threw out a chocolate chip cookie because it tasted so bad. 🤮

I just threw up the morning after eating the fried chicken. It tasted like it had been frozen and I physically couldn’t put my plastic fork through the crust because it was so hard and thick.

I typically get the chef's special for the day, which you can view online before heading over to it. The daily chef's special is usually fairly priced, tasty and includes a good portion size. There is a decent amount of seating inside, too.

Good lord. I don't know where they get their "chefs" from but the food is sub par for the price they charge. Got some creamy chicken soup today and it's loaded with so much salt and pepper I can barely eat it. The soups are always some kids of weird mish mash and always LOADED with salt. The pizza isn't great but if you're desperate it does the trick. Chef's corner is iffy, don't get the chicken marsala....it's far from what you'd normally expect chicken marsala to be. WAY too expensive for the poor quality you get.
