| - I was really impressed with Primarily Prime Rib. My Mom and I were skeptical and thought that we would have just a typical casino cafe prime rib meal. Boy were we wrong!
The restaurant is located upstairs, next door to a Mexican restaurant and also near a small bar (which I never knew was there - you learn something new every day!). We did not have a reservation, and the hostess was very friendly and was able to seat us immediately.
The restaurant was larger than I expected, but not huge. It is dimly lit, with booths surrounding the outer edge and tables inside, with booths on the inner edge as well.
It only took us 2 seconds to decide what we wanted to order, so when our server came to take our drink order, we advised him that we were ready to order our food as well. We both ordered the same cut of meat - the South Point cut. It is $15.99 and comes with a choice of soup or salad and choice of mashed potato, baked potato or rice pilaf.
My salad (and my Mom's soup) came out quickly. The best part about the service is that everything is brought out on a cart. The salad was tossed table side, which I thought was a nice touch. My Mom's soup was split pea and was REALLY good. It was creamy and smooth and super delicious. The bread basket was nothing to write home about, but who cares?!
There was not much of a delay between our salad and entree, which was good. Once again, our dishes were brought out on a cart. I like that the meat is served on it's own plate, swimming in the au jus, rather than serving a seperate cup. I had the rice pilaf, which I thought was really good. It wasn't dry and was seasoned really well. My meat was medium rare and just bloody enough, and was very juicy. My Mom had a baked potato, which they prepared tableside. I thought that was a really nice touch.
It took us quite awhile to get our check, but other than that, it was a great meal. We were really impressed by the tableside service and rolling carts and the overall quality of the meal. I will definitely be back. Including tip, it was just about $40 for our meal. Considering all that we got, the ambiance and the amazing service, I think that is a steal! This is a real hidden gem in Henderson!
