I dined at Prime 121 this week under the recommendation of a friend and I must say I had a wonderful time. As I arrived, it was about what one would expect when visiting an upscale steakhouse in Cherry Creek. Valet Parking for those who would rather not deal with the headache that is parking in Cherry Creek. White table clothes, fresh flowers on the tables, servers wearing pressed white coats. However, our experience was much more than ordinary. First off the music playing was upbeat, contemporary top 40 rather than the typical monotonous formal dinner music found at most of these types of establishments. The service was perfect and the staff seemed to know exactly what we needed before we did (Mojito's here are excellent and the wine list is A+). And the food, top notch!!! Steaks cooked to perfection. We had appetizers, salads and entrees, and despite being a party of 7 on what seemed to be a relatively busy evening, the dinner flowed perfectly. I've seen some negative comments about this restaurant, but I have to say Prime 121 was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Perhaps worth a second look.
Pros: Upbeat atmosphere, friendly staff, wonderful food. Save room for dessert.
Cons: Wine list is a bit large, but a lot of good values if you know your wine.
