    It was our ony child's birthday. Unfortunately, he was with his golfing associates in North Carolina. Ali hit us with the bad news that no beets had been delivered that day. The lights of the city seemed special. Usually we don't bother to look out. The food is always -- I mean always excellent. John is on top of everything; if there is a mistake, John makes it right. He always works his butt off. John and his family absolutely know how to run a restaurant. Many other restaurants have gone out of business while Primavista continues to prosper!!

    I had not been to Primavista in over 15 years. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was still as amazing as it was the last time I had visited. The food is still top notch, with new items on the menu as well as my old favorites. And, of course...the view! My husband and I watched the full moon rise over the city while enjoying our delicious meal, and it was absolutely magical! I most certainly will not wait another 15 years to visit. We plan to celebrate our anniversary there in a few months and hopefully, many more times in the new year.

    We had a group of seven for a birthday celebration. It was a very nice evening, but the noise level made it hard to hear anything. Food, as always, was wonderful. The view was stunning. Serving staff seemed busy and was a bit slow.
