Editorial Review for Primo Restaurant – by Natasha Lawrence
The Scene
Breathtaking views of a man-made tropical pool and surrounding designer golf course serve as backdrops for the signature restaurant inside the 26-story Grande Lakes hotel. Dark-leather furniture, dim lighting and intimate table arrangements fill the dining room. As the evening proceeds the waitstaff's attention can wane, its only flaw.
The Food
Chef Melissa Kelly made her reputation in Maine for creating complex dishes largely from locally grown or raised products that change with the seasons. Her philosophy directs the menu here, too. Begin with a delicate goat cheese parfait with layers of organic beets, apples and shallots, or choose a crispy Montasio cheese crepe with sausage. Truffle butter brings out the earthiness of aged New York strip steak. Sage-infused mushroom-Madeira pork scaloppine are tender and flavorful. Desserts are divine and irresistible: start with the crème brulée trio.

The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. The only draw back was that we found the restaurant to be very noisy. There was a large party in the bar area that was quite loud and the background music was turned up to try and cover their noise. It is supposed to be a romantic restaurant but with all the noise it was not a very enjoyable evening. The first time we dined there it was much quieter. Maybe just the time of year. I would definitely go back again and hopefully it will be quieter and more romantic.
Pros: Great Food, Great Service
Cons: Noisy

Primo was an amazing dining experience from beginning to end. The service was perfect and the food divine! The wait staff was knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful not only did they make us feel like kings but they all looked like models. the Maitre'D was very helpful with our special evening. the J.W. Marriott was breathtaking while we had dinner we could see fireworks going off in the distance and we loved the Pork and the wine list rocked! try it i think it is the best new restaurant in Orlando by far. the bar was packed with pretty people drinking wine in huge glasses...great place
