Excellent date night dinner. Cesear salad, oysters, cornbread, and lamb lollipops were enjoyed during our meal. Overall was appropriately priced. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable and the staff were friendly and attentive. Cocktails were well made.

First time here. Always good food in Highlands but this was just stellar start to finish.

Great ambiance, service, and food! The Primary burger is literally the best I’ve ever had — Wagyu beef burger, house made bacon, and a potato bun that is delicious. Marvin makes an exceptional Old Fashioned.

Oh my God everything about this place was just so amazing! Superior, top-notch service and amazing menu options! It well is worth the price for sure! They always refilled your drinks without you asking even if you just a few sips. Our server made sure that the food was perfect for all of us! Definitely will be back here many times!!!

Was heading over here until I read their website stating that they will not guarantee medium well or above and also cannot separate out tickets when you have a group of people. And don’t dare ask the waiter to change out a side item (substitution). We changed our minds and found a lovely pizza shop without the fussy demands. Who knows if the food is actually any good here.

The Primary was the perfect place for our group dinner. I drove from Franklin to meet my group who were motorcycle riding all afternoon at the restaurant and was a bit nervous to try a new place to eat with my picky friends. However, we were all blown away with the food, the ambiance and the servers. The servers were thoughtful and attentive. The craft cocktails were interesting and the desserts were YUMMMMY. My husband said the Salmon was one of the best he’s had (definitely in the top 3 of my life, direct quote). The salads were great and the tempura Brussels were so good the table ordered a second round.

Creatively different starters like tempura Brussel sprouts and a tuna tower. Very good wagyu burger, and other interesting entrees. And it stays open all year which we appreciate in Highlands.
