The servers were very nice, but understaffed for the Friday night crowd. Part of our order was lost in the shuffle, and arrived only after a very long wait; "communication problem with the kitchen," according to the apologetic server. The noise level was painful: hard surfaces and loud people everywhere, and all seats are extremely close together. A sharp cold wind blew through the whole restaurant every time the door opened ... and it sometimes stayed open for a while. The dishes were OK, but not spectacular. E.g., charred cabbage "with scallop butter" tasted like cabbage with butter and burnt edges; delicious, but no hint of scallop.

We really liked the concept and execution. Several things were wonderfully executed. The savory ‘nduja on toast, the marrow bone and those gorgeous mussels. The steak was on point and with perfect accompaniments. That die-for maple-y birthday cake could be upped yet another notch with smoked maple (it’s a thing...) One note : the bread was delicious in all it’s variations, just too much by the time we were done. Will surely go back!

Got a recommendation from a friend. The food was mediocre. We got a salad, grilled bone marrow. My friend got the steak. And I got lamb chop. The salad was ok. The best dish was the bone marrow on sweet bread. The entrees were very meat heavy , with little other stuff( like veggies or sauce). My friend’s dish was just steak and grilled onion. Nothing else. It was not well balanced. We wished the waitress have told us that so we could have order more veggies sides. I would not come back there. Overall 3 stars at best.

Great vegetarian and seafood! The theme is charcoal grilled food. The savoy cabbage in scallop butter was delicious. So was the papardelle. We also enjoyed the grilled avocado salad. For dessert we had a chocolate pudding with an Earl Gray whipped cream and a vinaigrette caramel. It was delicious

My daughter and I really enjoyed our evening at Prairie. We love sharing so the shared plates were great for us. We had the burrata and bread (yum), steam (cooked perfectly and very tasty), sweet potatoes (a little too much vinegar) and the pappardelle with mushroom sauce (gorgeous). The waitress suggested a lovely glass of wine for me too, which paired perfectly with the food we ordered.
