The two of us were dressed in our usual nerdy style, and wandered into Prime at 8pm (without booking), and was shown promptly to a corner table upstairs since the place was about 70% full. We ordered two steak dishes (medium rare), an orange juice and a beer. I have barely finished half my cheesepuff (cold and not crisp) before the steaks arrived!!! That took definitely less than 10 minutes from placing our orders to delivery. That was some efficiency I thought. But despite the dishes underneath

The two of us were dressed in our usual nerdy style, and wandered into Prime at 8pm (without booking), and was shown promptly to a corner table upstairs since the place was about 70% full. We ordered two steak dishes (medium rare), an orange juice and a beer. I have barely finished half my cheesepuff (cold and not crisp) before the steaks arrived!!! That took definitely less than 10 minutes from placing our orders to delivery. That was some efficiency I thought. But despite the dishes underneath having been pre-warmed, how come the outside of BOTH steaks were just lukewarm and colder than the dishes themselves? We didn't get the usual rich fatty aroma associated with newly barbecued steak either. Would Prime serve pre-cooked steaks (and doesn't even bother to reheat because it would be more than medium rare)??? That immediately took away our appetite for coffee or dessert, and so we just gobbled some of the meat down (since we were hungry) and called for the bill. It came to a little below $1,600 (no wine). Any decent steak house could do a much better steak at half the price. Any decent Australian could do a better steak in his/her backyard. On our way out, at the entrance the Maitre'D was leaning over with his butt pointed towards us, happily chatting to a staff and ignoring our departure.
