red primesteak

don't get me wrong, the food was delicious. it was cooked perfectly, the atmosphere was unique and different from your average steakhouse, and i do appreciate that. the server was very informative, a little too dry (i would've appreciated a more welcoming attitude but that reflects more of my personal preferences as opposed to his overall serving ability). despite all the great qualities of this restaurant..i can't really bear to give it a good review. i'm more then willing to spend my money on a high priced establishment such as this, but i do believe that i have had better steaks for less. it costed me $9 for a side of mediocre mushrooms. the host greeted us with a cold stare and sour disposition. while i enjoyed my time and applaud it for being something out of the ordinary for local oklahoma city restaurants, i'm not likely to spend another $400 there without a really great food recommendation from a reliable source.

food and service were both phenomenal! barrett is an amazing waiter!

1st time for restaurant week. my wife and i went here for restaurant week, as we've been wanting to try it out after hearing so many good things from friends. to start off, i will say that we've eaten at many high end steakhouses in dallas, houston, vegas, etc. price-wise, this was on par with all those steakhouses. quality-wise, it's sub par. not sure if they got cheap with the meat for restaurant week, but my prime sirloin was much chewier than it should've been. not sure if things would've been better if i had ordered off the menu, but this steak was not worth the money. my wife got the salmon, and it was average as well. presentation on both dishes was good, but the food left a lot to be desired. i will say that my french onion soup was excellent, and my wife's tomato appetizer was very good too. the only other nicer steaks i have eaten in okc were at metro wine bar and deep fork, and both were a long, long time ago. however, both were better steaks from what i remember. also, one of my favorite steakhouses is ruth's chris, and i tried them during restaurant week in dallas, and everything was great. i will try red prime again at some point and hope that it's better than what they served during restaurant week.

absolutely fantastic. the food really shows a chef with a lot of heart. our server was great, especially for as busy as he was. a lot of servers walked by our table looking not nearly as busy when we needed water or dirty dishes out of our faces like it was no concern of theirs... that was s little off putting, but other than that, i was impressed. good hand crafted cocktails as well. i will return.

well worth the price.. went to red about a month and a half ago with my girlfriend. red is easily the best steakhouse in okc, and their food is well worth the price, although the decor and lighting might be somewhat off-putting for some people, which is understandable.

food: 10/10 - i had the french onion soup, 40 year old dry-aged bone-in strip, and my girlfriend had the 7oz filet. we shared the green chile mac, sauteed mushrooms, and cream brulee. the soup was far and away the best i've ever had, and was a larger portion for less money than what most other places serve. their sides were great - not a fan of mushrooms, personally, but i ate my fair share of them at red - and it goes without saying that the steaks were worth every cent. the steaks were cooked perfectly, and easily met and exceeded the expectations we had. their dessert, like their sides and appetizers, were both delicious and generous in serving size; no small plates or skimping on portions here.

service: 10/10 - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. our waiter had a solid grasp on both the food and drink menu, and when we went with his suggestions they were usually good - as opposed to just expensive, as is the case in many restaurants. our food and drinks both came out much more quickly than we expected, and much quicker than i've seen at similarly priced restaurants.

drinks: 9/10 - i had a tom collins that was pretty impressively mixed, and my girlfriend's mojito and dessert drink were both good. the only hitch was with the mojito, the alcohol seemed to be concentrated on the bottom, as if it hadn't been mixed as well as it could have been.

decor: ???/10 - the decor is going to be hit or miss for people. some peope might find it awkward or pretentious, others might like it. the red lighting was a little annoying at first, but overall i liked the "industrial" feel, and it made the atmosphere much more relaxed than in a place with more traditional decor. it's best to see for yourself whether you like it or not, because you'l get wildly divergent opinions otherwise.

overall: 9/10 or 10/10, easily worth the price for the food and the promptness and friendliness of the staff, didn't mind the decor, and would definitely go again.

wow, where do i start. 1st impressions is that they're shooting for the cool trendy upscale look. the place leaks when it rains. the decor is a wreck inside. the bathrooms look as if your in a 2nd rate bar. they spend more effort making the food look good then actually having good food. i could used a saw to get through my steak and after dinner, barely made it to the bathroom which was a floor below us. will never be going back, way over priced!!

didn't like the food or venue. think they are trying to be something more than they are.

special evening out. we were met graciously at the door and seated immediately. very pleasant atmopshere. we were attended to expeditiously. drink order placed and delivered in a timely manner. our intial order was placed and also delivered quickly, but not to quickly. the timing of all our dishes made for a wonderful experience. the steaks were cooked to perfection. my ny strip steak with a crust of wild mushrooms and topping of truffle butter was nothing short of amazing. the tamales were extraordinary and just melted in your mouth. the fried quail with fresh rosemary was also a wonderful and delectable treat. the side dish of butternut squash polenta was a creamy, rich joy which i would strongly recommend. the 6 oz. filet was very good with the coffee crust and homemade worcestershire. (having a selection of crust and sauces for your steak is a great feature of their menu.) the prices were acceptable for the high quality of food and service. (we have very recently been to a fine steak house in far north okc that had half the quality of food and service for the same money as red primesteak.) the decor is edgy and contemporary. the only thing i would change is the low red lighting makes it difficult to read the menu. be sure to bring your cell phone. we will highly recommend red primesteak to anyone for a special evening.

red prime was great. it was our anniversary. we ordered the "long bone" bone-in ribeye for two, cooked medium with family style sides (squash and green beans), fried green tomatoes for an appetizer and finally an order of pumpkin bread pudding with icecream.

the wait staff was amazing. they greeted us with a cheerful pleasant tone of voice. we received immediate seating and there was literally zero waiting for our server and waiter to arrive at our table. the waiter was absolutely the best waiter i've had the pleasure of having serve us dinner. he was extremely polite, he knew the menu items very well and explained everything in simple terms. he wasn't trying to rush us at all. drink refills were right on time. dinner service timing was perfect. he even noticed a stray sesame seed on a clean plate and removed it immediately before i noticed it--great!

the dinner itself was tender, delicious and juicy. the steak was cooked maybe a hair too rare but i'm not picky and i didn't send it back. it was still great! the side dishes were very good as well. the bread pudding was some of the best bread pudding i've ever had. it was nesled in a caramel sauce and accented with pumpkin seeds. it's an absolute must-have dessert for sweet lovers out there.

thank you red prime for making our anniversary so special. the cherry on top is when we left, the door greeters both said "happy anniversary" to us!

we will be going back here as soon as we can save up some cash.

dry aged beef. first off, figure out the difference between dry aged beef and wet aged beef. check. next, go there and order a dry aged, bone-in strip, rolled in salt and cracked black pepper and top it off with 2 slices of black truffle butter. it's pricey, but it's heaven in your mouth. now prepare yourself for orgasm and get there fast!

we have eaten here several times in the past. but as of the last several months it seems that the food quality has really gone down hill. i heard they got a new chef from our server. they don't even offer prime filets any longer? i mean how do you call yourself red prime steak when you only have 2 prime cuts? probably will be going to ranch steakhouse from here on. they do it right

love it, but pricey! we tried red prime for the first time with another couple who had been there several times before. one of their specials that night was rack of lamb, which was superb and prepared correctly. their mashed potatoes, as other reviewers have noted, are phenomenal. all sides are large and you can share with others at your table or take some home for the next day (a real plus!). we took home some leftover mac n' cheese but it didn't compare to the mashed potatoes. my husband had a ribeye that he raved about. if you're on a budget, you can order the price fix menu and keep it down. if you order a bottle of wine, that will really push the bill up, so keep that in mind. this is a "special occasion" kind of place for us. our waiter was exceptional. we lingered at the table long after we were done with dinner and there was no pressure for us to leave. just a wonderful time and i can't think of one negative thing to mention.

great city-trendy place. since this place is walking distance from my place, i like to go here often. i've always liked the city feel of this place; something okc needs. i really hope this place succeeds and stays in town. but, i write this because i'm concern because the quality of the steaks has gone downhill over the last year or so. great place, hope they work to make great steaks vise "ok" steaks.

i absolutely love this place. my husband and i love it for a date night. it is by far my favorite steak house in the city. we have tried other places but the never compare for me. they had the best mashed potatoes. the steaks are perfect. i love not having to fight over how it is cooked and being disappointed. i cannot wait to go back again.

from entry you are caught up in te eclectic design and the wired wall of wines. highly recommend the rp tomatoes for starters and for your meal aged 14oz w/ mac & cheese for a little comfort. 2nd time in okc and this will start to be a traditional stop for me.
