My wife and I came to Prime 102 for the first time last night. It was our first real date night and maybe 6 months so we were hoping that our experience was as good as what the reviews have mentioned. The food was absolutely great. Both the ribeye that I had, and the filet mignon that my wife had were made perfectly, and well seasoned. The potato puree, as well as their special side dish (green beans in some kind of cream sauce, can't remember the actual name), and the mushrooms were outstanding. My wife and I each had about four cocktails that really paired well with our food. The service would get a 10 Star if I could. From the time we walked in, to every member of wait staff who passed by us everyone was absolutely polite, friendly, and personable. Our waiter absolutely made our experience! He not only recommended what dishes to get but explain why and really just took care of us. It was a kind of service that regardless of price, will have my wife and I coming back to this restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect, it was a rather large space but still felt intimate. We were able to hear each other speak which is awesome. The decor was nice, and overall just a great place to enjoy a date night. If you're looking for a nice spot to take your wife, or to enjoy a drink I would highly recommend this place.

Everything was a TEN! I took my fiancée there for her birthday and we were extremely impressed. The steak is by far the star of the show and atmosphere was welcoming. The staff were super helpful and polite. If you're looking for a place with amazing food and great service, this is the place. Our server Mandy was incredible.

Outstanding in every aspect! We shared the dry aged porterhouse which was cooked perfectly. Fingerling potatoes, Brussels sprouts and the braised mushroom sides were stellar. The espresso old fashion is a must! This was our first visit but will definitely not be the last. Well worth the price.

Tonight’s dinner was absolutely delicious. I finally got around to trying Prime102. It was easily the best decision I’ve made this year. Every single aspect of our visit was perfect. From the amazing service, to the incredible food. I can’t think of one thing that went wrong the entire night. On to the food. We ordered the 45 day dry aged 22oz ribeye with the black garlic truffle butter, 8oz filet mignon with an au poiyre sauce, tuna tartare, and the truffle parmesan fries. Both of the steaks had such an incredible flavor, especially the ribeye. They were super tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The tuna tartare was a first for me. I absolutely loved it though. They brought out a complimentary birthday piece of their famous butter cake with some vanilla bean ice cream on top. I also ordered some bread pudding. They sat it down on the table and proceeded to pour some heavenly sauce over the top of it. Both desserts were phenomenal to say the least. I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s on the fence about it. I’m already planning my next visit.

Always a wonderful experience. Lovely location in a former bank building so feels very 1920s. Robin was our server and very knowledgeable. All recommendations are perfect from the ahi tuna appetizer to the port wine with dessert. 8 Oz filet was perfectly cooked and seasoned well. Save room for their pull apart bread. And the new lemon cake dessert was sublime.

Wow! The reviews are accurate. Quiet place, good music, cozy, and excellent service. Eli made the perfect recommendations, and Sam was excellent help as well. We will definitely be back. We had the pork belly, prime steak, crab cakes, and specialty beets. The drinks were equally amazing. Too much food for two.

Wife and I went for our anniversary as recommended by our daughter. Superb service. Our waiter, Kevin, was very knowledgeable of the menu and flavors. The food was extremely exceptional. We started with the pork belly then the 16 oz. Ribeye with potatoes and brussel sprouts.The atmosphere is quiet and nostalgic, just a splendid experience. We will definitely return and try other items.on the menu.

I got there a little early for dinner. The main dining area opens at five. So I sat at a table at the bar. It was a superb atmosphere. Tanner, the bartender, was very well dressed and put together, professional, polite, and courteous. Very thoughtful and deliberate. The 70s and 2000s rock and grunge rock playlist suited my taste very well and played at a comfortable volume. Upon request, I received a freshly made lemonade that was delightfully refreshing. The wedge salad, filet mignon, and truffle fries were absolutely amazing! I enjoyed every bite and would gladly go back.

In all my years and all my travels I have never found a place that matches the quality and service of Prime 102. From the moment I walked in everything was flawless. The atmosphere the attention to detail and most importantly the food. Every bite was perfection. The service was absolutely phenomenal. The staff anticipated every need without hovering and their professionalism made the whole experience feel first class. It is not just the best in Tyler. It is not just the best in East Texas. It is not even just the best in Texas. So far it is the best on this globe that I have come across. Hands down this was the best dining experience I have ever had. If you are looking for a steakhouse that truly gets it right Prime 102 sets the bar for the rest of the world.
