Prime 82 - Norwich

During our stay at the Courtyard, we were delighted to discover a restaurant conveniently located next door. Initially planning on enjoying a few drinks and nachos, we were pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu offerings. Our dinner and dessert were both delicious, accompanied by excellent cocktails. The service was friendly and attentive, but the only downside was that our entrees arrived before we had finished our appetizers. Overall, a satisfying dining experience.

The Ahi tuna salad was amazing, and the Prime salad was also fantastic. Both dishes were generously portioned for the price. I wasn't a fan of the hard bread. The restaurant was a bit dimly lit, but the service was excellent, and my Long Island iced tea was delicious.

The restaurant is located in a hotel, so do not have high expectations. Despite reading positive reviews, we decided to stop by on our way back from Newport. This turned out to be a mistake. The bartender was friendly and helpful, but the fish we ordered had a strange and unpleasant taste. We returned the dish and it was removed from our bill. However, unfortunately, we experienced digestive issues for the next 24 hours.

We had dinner here last night. Decided on this restaurant based on one good recent review, and the fact that we could walk there. Great decision. Ate at the bar. Good selection of wines. Service was very fast and friendly. We had a chicken dish and a burger. Both were delicious. My rare burger was cooked perfectly.

Back again at P82 to celebrate a birthday. We enjoy eating in the bar. Started off with two glasses of wine and some dinner rolls. Again we ordered the Delmonico (med rare) with mash potatoes, asparagus and a Cesar salad. Wine and rolls came but unfortunately with no plates. However we managed and enjoyed both. The steak was cooked perfectly, mash potatoes excellent, unfortunately the asparagus portion was lacking (I'm guessing one piece cut into three pieces. To be fair all we're very good. I've given four stars only because I felt the service could have been better. No bread plates, I had to ask for an additional steak knife (there was two of us), salad was served with the meal (prefer it before so I can enjoy it w/o rushing so that the main entre doesn't get cold). Attention to little details makes for a more enjoyable dinning experience. With that said, it's worth a visit!
