“Great bar service. I came tonight with a friend and we sat at the bar -- the bartender Caleb had good drink recommendations. The food was also delicious - definitely recommend the house salad, steak frites and popovers with ramp butter (seasonal)”
“We had a fabulous Valentine’s Day brunch at Primrose! The interior couldn’t be more cute and inviting - they’ve done such a good job curating the space! And the enclosed patio is adorable - it’s giving greenhouse vibes. The bread basket drop biscuits come piping hot with the most delicious salted butter and yummy jelly. We got the veggie quiche and the croque monsieur for our entrees. The quiche was amazing - such a delicious delicate egg custard and yummy pastry!! The croque monsieur was decadent and so worth it. We shared the Dutch baby pancake for our “breakfast dessert” and it was great! The staff was excellent, the music and decor was a hit, and the food is a 10!”
“Beautiful corner bistro & wine bar nestled in the heart of the Brookland residential district. With a robust sunroom annex jutting out into the side street, Primrose garners ample sunlight to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I loved the detail of the elegant crown molding, ostrich feathered chandeliers, and stunning turquois bar. Gorgeous decor. We stopped by for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed their house-made Bloody Mary (cornichon Brined Bloody; Lemon pepper vodka, cornichon brine, tomato juice), smash burger (gruyère, charred onion, Dijonnaise, frites) and salmon Benedict. Service was friendly and attentive, no false notes during the entire experience. Highly recommended.”
“Phenomenal all around. The staff were so friendly and helpful! One of our party has allergies and the staff were really helpful in determining which items she could have. The food was delicious! I had the gnocchi and I think it's the best I've ever had before-I ate it all before I remembered to take a picture. A couple pics of the delish small plates we had”
“Me, my wife and son visited Primrose recently since we live in the neighbor. I haven’t been here in years and I was excited to go. The service was on point. Our waiter was attentive and mindful of the fact that brunch was ending soon from the time we arrived. I order the crispy potatoes and the bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches while my wife ordered the chicken and waffles. I enjoyed my sandwich and half salad. The bacon was thick cut which I was a fan of. As for the chicken and waffles it was sub-par. The chicken was overcooked as well as the waffle. My ideal type of waffle is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This waffle was dense. The potato were fantastic. Look forward to trying more of their menu.”
