Our server Freya, was so amazing. Very happy/cheerful, and knowledgeable about the specials and what they were. Answered all of our questions. Primal in general is a wonderful little place to go for pasta and other mains. Yes they might be a bit pricey, but it's worth it. So amazing with thier flavors and atmosphere. Live going here and taking friends with us.
Honestly the atmosphere wasn’t quite it, I went at 6pm and the restaurant was so loud I couldn’t hear the person across from me, let alone my server. I understand wanting a darker lit pub style vibe, but this was not it, seemed like the power was off by the lights, and service was alright, until we asked for to go boxes and our bills and sat there for 25 min waiting for our server to come back and tell us she would “be right back with it all”. After another 5 min or so she returned with the boxes, but then proceeded to take another 15 min if not longer to return with our bills. Appetizers were great, entrees were just alright.
Had an incredible experience at Primal for our anniversary. Did the 5 course tasting menu with the natural wine pairing. Price is pretty much on par with many tasting menu’s across Canada but it’s a ton of food. Our server was so nice and extremely knowledgeable about the wine. My only minor criticism was some of the pasta dishes were overly seasoned and the salt tended to overpower the beautiful ingredients they use.
Great experience! I'm not usually drawn to pasta but it was my boyfriends turn to pick our date night and I am really glad he did. The Cod and squid ink risotto was a perfect portion! Wine pairing were great and the cheesecake DON'T skip out on trying it!
Primal never disappoints. Love coming here for a tasty meal made with fresh and local ingredients. The staff are awesome, personable, and knowledgable, even when it's busy. Come early if you don't want to be stuck with the rush because every time we've came around 5 and right when we are about to leave it starts filling right up. They are clearly passionate about what they do and you can see that in the food. Very romantic setting and I also enjoy how they use candles at the table when it gets darker. It is for sure worth the price.
We had an absolutely delightful first experience at Primal. Blown away by each and every dish selected for the 5 course, along with its wine pairing. Beware - the desserts will haunt you every night....I must have more of the sorbets and meringue...sorbet and meringue....sorbet...and... meringue...
I have loved eating in at Primal and always welcome places like this that elevate the food scene in Saskatoon. While I find the menu offers a tasteful variety, thoughtfully selected and updated, the pizza we ordered for take out did not meet the high expectations I had. Perhaps I was expecting a thinner crust and more elegance in ingredient choice. Nevertheless, Primal is still a favourite of mine for special days. The ambience, service, and delicious pastas will keep you coming back!
Service was excellent and the drinks were good. The garlic sticks and oysters were incredible! However, this was our third and last time dining with Primal. The pasta dishes are overpriced and lack presentation and protein to make up for it. Was very disappointed to spend almost $30 on a pasta dish for it to include only five small pieces of dried out chicken.
This was our second visit in a month because the food is that good!! The first time we ordered the five course meal for both of us; it was delicious but we over indulged. This time we asked if we could share and they graciously accommodated us but we also added another appetizer and salad to round out the meal. Every dish was had was a new taste sensation. The service was friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Primal Pasta for an excellent dining experience. Sorry for lack of pictures, we couldn't wait to eat.
