Prima Facie Bistro and Market

I’ve eaten at both the market and the bistro and had wonderful meals every time. The build out is gorgeous and it looks lovely. Even the bathrooms were beautiful. Market: I’m not the hugest fan of krinkle cut fries but theirs are perfection! The sandwiches have fun/unique elements and are not basic or boring. My favorite is the turkey sammy with apricot preserves, pepadews, & brie on ciabatta! Bistro: We arrived without a reservation the friday before christmas, knowing it was unlikely we’d get in. The hostesses were smiling and helpful! The wait was about a hour but they kindly helped us get really lucky and let us know two seats had just opened up at the bar! Hannah, the bar manager, was wonderful, and whipped up a fabulous mocktail for me, off menu. As a wine professional who doesn’t drink, this is always so appreciated. Chef James’ food was great! We started with the steak tartare and power bowl, both delicious. My (chef) husband really loved the added touches made to the ingredients, like the pickled raisins, and the plethora of flavor in every bite. We also snagged a plate of fries because I had loved them in the market and wanted to have them again. For the entree, we split the acorn squash gnocchi and it was fabulous. For dessert we had the phyllo brownie and vanilla bean ice cream- A+. Overall, we will definitely go back, and we will recommend to friends! Thanks, Prima!
