The food at Primo is outstanding. We have eaten at Primo a number of times over the last few years and both the menu and food are consistently very creative and well executed. The service however can be hit or miss. This New Year 's eve, it was more of a miss. This did not seem to be a consequence of being overly busy, it was not. We have been there when it was much busier. We had reservations, and despite there being empty tables when we arrived, we were directed to wait in the bar until our table was ready. We were seated 30 minutes after our reserved time. The wait staff is pleasant, but on this occasion did not meet our expectations for the level of service we have enjoyed there previous...
It was freezing! There was record cold but that’s not an excuse as there was cold air blowing on my legs the whole time and the staff shrugged it off 3 times as a “drafty” house. It meant the food was instantly cold after being brought out. The food was “fine” not really noteworthy or destination worthy as the hype would have you believe. Very disappointing-it might have been slightly more enjoyable if it was cozy and warm as I had anticipated and not in my coat and scarf the whole time. Still overpriced for the quality of food that can be found at many other great food destinations in Maine for less and a more comfortable and pleasant dining ambiance. Would not return again.
The restaurant was conveniently located for us and the menu looked good. When we arrived they had no means of checking a reservation and didn't have a table ready for us. It took about 15 minutes for anyone to greet our table at all, so we were able to already decide on our dinner by the first time a server talked to us. It then took another 25-30 minutes for our dinner to arrive. We had a Caesar salad, sliders, and lobster mac and cheese and I wouldn't order any of it again. The beer was good and it seemed like a fun place. There was live music that was really good, but the whole place was so loud it was impossible to have a conversation.
Music was so loud the waitress struggled to take our order. Menu in the restaurant does not match online menu from their website.
