I really enjoyed my dinner last night. Very comfortable seating with a relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious especially the bread pudding lol. Dominic the server did a phenomenal job. Will definitely be back.

Best Birthday ?? Eva, Staff AWESOME! DJ AWESOME ? FOOD INCREDIBLE! Shout out to Brian at the Bar !

Wow! Absolutely delicious!We visited a few days ago and quickly fell in love! We were supposed to be seated at Canyon but they informed us that they have the same menu at both places so we didn’t mind.Our server was greater and recommended some specials for the night as well as the desserts.We ended up ordering the Beef tenderloin tacos which Terry really enjoyed. We have heard great things about their Mac and cheese so we decided to order that also and we were not disappointed! Absolutely delicious, one of the best Mac and cheeses we’ve had at a restaurant. We also decided to order the pasta special which was spaghetti with crushed tomatoes, olive oil and pancetta and wow! Incredible!For dessert we went for the brownie and vanilla ice cream which was good, and their delicious bread pudding that we also fell in love with!

I usually never post a review …. But for Prima Donna I have to!! The place is nice and tasteful, hostess was courteous , Brenda, our waitress was very pleasant!However the Menu Is the Worst! Canyon menu , which always looked like Appetizers with a Full Price/Entrees Price. Very disappointed - will never go back. Over priced and terrible menu for an “Italian ristorante”. I went there to eat polenta with truffles, risotto with ribs for our friend ….. not a 50 something steak and an ordinary pasta with red sauce for$30!!!!!!Canyon and Prima Donna - same boring menu!

Incredible experience, great food,exceptional service. Definitely worth it!

Great experience!Delicious food, tasty cocktails, good ambiance.Awesome vibe!

Amazing fine cuisine! Great ambiance and even better service! Ask for Evan.

My friends and I went on a Tuesday night for 1/2 price food for ladies. They have a strict dress code as others have stated. When you make a reservation, the system texts you the dress code rules. 30 minutes before my reservation, I received a text to remind me of the dress code.Parking is valet only and you must pay for the valet.There is a small bar with about 5 seats. It was empty on the Tuesday we visited.The restaurant has nice ambiance and the noise level allows you to easily have a conversation. There were only a few other tables the night we visited and no DJ.Our server was not personable and just took orders. He did not build rapport with us. At the end of the meal, we found out he was the manager.Cold bread was brought to our table with a red seasoning. Our immediate reaction was that it tasted like salt. The server said it is paprika, garlic, and butter. The bread tasted old. We are bread lovers and had no interest eating this bread. I asked if they had plain bread and the server said no.We started with the Creamy Polenta. It tasted salty and we told the server and he offered no response. It did have a strong tasty truffle flavor. The mushrooms were fresh. It is a very rich dish and sharing with 3-4 people is good.The Pappardelle tasted fresh and had a light parmesan mushroom sauce. The special, Pappardelle with Osso Busco, was very similar, but had shredded pieces of Osso Busco. Both dishes were very rich and good to share.My friend had the salmon. It was huge and it covered fingerling potatoes. She said the dish was very good.When the bill came there were three checks. One for the drinks, one for the food at full price, and another showing the discounted food. There were handwritten gratuities on each check. The server dropped the bill with no explanation. We had to ask the server to explain.I had a gift card to use. The server said he couldn't accept the gift card along with the 1/2 off ladies night. The gift card had no disclaimer that it couldn't be used with another offer. This was very disappointing. I asked to speak to a manager and the server said he was the manager.Overall, the pasta dishes were good, but for the price I expect higher quality service and good tasting bread:)I will not return since there are so many other Italian restaurants with free parking and better customer service.

Billed as an elegant Continental restaurant, primadonna disappoints. Our fried calamari appetizer was a generous serving but slathered with an unremarkable sauce and featuring a weird tomato garnish. My fried pork chop was overcooked, and was like something you would get at a diner. It wasn’t bad, and lots of food, but disappointing at the expensive price point. On the other hand, service was attentive

Fantastic night at a great restaurant. The chef and wait staff were awesome. Best experience I have had in years. Food over the top from appetizers that were excellent, main courses were well proportioned to the best desserts I have ever had. Shane thank you for a wonderful menu. I will definitely be coming back time and time again.
