On the day of the eclipse, 8Apr2024, I proposed to my Girlfriend during the eclipse at Sulphur Springs and on our way back to Austin we wanted to celebrate at a classy restaurant. Mission accomplished! We couldn’t be happier with Prime 102. I am a steak man and tried the 45 day dry aged ribeye medium rare. Was cooked to perfection. My lady had the double cut pork chop and it was delicious and tender. The attention to detail at this location is outstanding. The starter bread is amazing, croissant like. We enjoyed the pork belly and the jumbo lump crab cake compares to top Baltimore entrees. We ended the evening with the butter cake topped with ice cream and was the perfect end to our meal. Our server, Matt, helped make our evening a night we will always remember. It was a proper celebration. Thank you Matt and Prime 102! I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for celebratory occasions.

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.

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.

We dined on 11-13-24 to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. Christian was our waiter and he was absolutely amazing. All recommendations he made were perfect! They also treated us with dessert that was the best butter cake and homemade ice cream we've ever had! The owners were also very attentive as well and appreciative that we chose to dine at their restaurant. Will definitely be back!

Classy, Great Gatsby, art deco ambiance, with superb food and service! My husband and I love dining here for special occasions every year. We just went the other night and I still haven't had a better streak or lobster tail anywhere else! The staff are so amazing and professional! Just can't wait for the next special occasion!

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.

Amazing experience, servers and all staff were refreshingly friendly and had helpful suggestions. Drinks and Staters were well worth the price. A must dine when you are in Tyler, entrees were mind blowing. Steak was a one of kind meal you have to try it. Deserts were well crafted and emanate class. You won’t be disappointed ordering anything on the menu and many options to choose from to spice up your dinner. Classy atmospheric cuisine with a unique high class appeal. 10/10 5 ⭐️ and will dine again.
