We ate at Prime an American Kitchen and Bar in Huntington. It is considered one of the top steak restaurants on Long Island. What separate Prime from other great steakhouse is its waterfront location and view.
Prime has stunning waterfront views of Huntington Harbor, especially during sunset. There is almost a line of people taking photos of the harbor. If you are to, choose a table outside overlooking the harbor.
We started with an order of Shrimp and Lobster Wontons and a Caesar Salad. The Caesar Salad was better than average but still below the tableside Caesar Salad of old. The wontons was tasty and fresh. This was winner of the appetizers!
For entrees, we had a Crab Cake and the Filet Mignon along with Whipped Potatoes and Crispy Brussels Sprouts. For the first time in a long time, I believe that the entrees are better than the appetizers. Both of our sides (the mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts) were incredible. The crab cake was top notch. But the star of the whole evening was the Filet Mignon. It could have been the best steak that I have had in years. It was prepared perfectly and it tasted like butter.
For dessert, we ordered the junior’s chocolate cake. We love this cake when we have had it from Junior’s and we loved it at Prime. And it did not disappoint us. It was absolutely amazing. They nailed the blend of chocolate fudge along with the chocolate cake.
The service was the only negative aspect of the evening. To say the service was leisurely is an understatement. It took an incredibly long time for our appetizers and entrees to be served. This is the downside of having such a large and busy restaurant. If you come hungry, be prepared with some form of snacks!!
In summary, we had a great meal at Prime with the food outweighing the lack of service and the high price of the dinner. The cost exceeded our expectations. In the end, we intend to go back because it was such a lovely dining experience with the waterfront views and incredible food.
