Pretty good experience here for happy hour. Make sure you are seated at the bar or high table for happy hour. I would double check with the waiter if happy hour is what you went for. Luckily, I asked right away before we sat at the booth. Food was great and drinks during happy hour were an amazing price compared to everything nearby. We will definitely come back again. They were also playing MLB playoffs. We got the ribeye and burger. Both were great!

Our group booked the patio for about 30 people this evening for happy hour. The atmosphere, food, and service were all excellent, and everyone had a wonderful time. Clark, the manager, was especially accommodating. I plan to return with friends, and hopefully with another group in the future.

Still going strong after all these years ! It's been a minute since we were last at Prime. The new patio expansion is exquisite! It brings such elegance to the restaurant. I'm in love with the lighted trees and the roaring fireplace on the patio. So inviting. The food!!! Still great. It amazes me when a local restaurant can have such a vast menu selection and still get it all right. Everything was on point. Bravo! The service was warm, welcoming and all smiles. Prime has been doing it right for many years and is a very special place in town. Whether you’re looking for cocktails and small delicious bites or a romantic special occasion lobster / steak dinner with a great bottle of wine. Prime won't disappoint.

Their sister restaurant had overbooked. Instead of waiting an hour for our reserved table, I called Prime to see if we could get a table. Nothing available but she called right back as they has just received cancelation! Service was great! Food was great! Atmosphere was especially cheery for Christmas!

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Prime Steakhouse in Ventura. The staff greeted us warmly as we entered, and the outdoor seating was beautifully set up, making us feel right at home. The menu was impressive, and every dish was a hit. The pretzel bread was a standout, and the bacon-wrapped shrimp was cooked to perfection. It was clear that they know how to cook their proteins right, as the shrimp in every dish was just perfect. The ribeye steaks were the star of the show, cooked exactly how we like them, and the peppercorn sauce added a great touch. The surf and turf with the lobster tail was the best I've ever had, hands down. We also tried the Roy Rogers drink on their recommendation—delicious! Thanks to everyone at Prime Steakhouse for a memorable evening of excellent food and top-notch service. We can't wait to come back!

If you are in the mood for a steak, check out Prime in Ventura. They have remodeled since we were last there, and added a great outdoor dining area although last night we chose a cozy corner table inside. The staff is friendly and our waiter, Ryan is great. St his suggestion, I tried the Filet Chile Relleno as my appetizer, and if you have not tried it you should. My husband had the shrimp stuffed mushrooms which he also enjoyed very much. I had the New York strip and he had the Ribeye with sauteed mushrooms, both were very tasty. Our experience reminded us why we used to go there, and we will be back soon. Wine by the bottle is also reasonable priced, as compared to some restaurants. It also seems their happy hour, which is from 5 to 7, is as good as ever because the bar was full.

I took my wife here for our one year anniversary after a friend telling me this was the place to go. I couldn't speak any higher of this restaurant. Our waitress Nicole was the kindest and nicest server who made is feel right at home. My wife ordered the bacon wrapped scallops, while I myself got the Chilean sea bass. Everything from the atmosphere, to the food, put this place at the very top of our list. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone local in Ventura or anyone visiting!!

My recommendation: Berry mule, Bacon wrapped shrimp, caesar salad, filet mignon with mashed potatoes. If you have time and room a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, and rock slide, brownie for dessert.
