Prima Bistro Reviews

Love this place, we try to eat here every time we are in Langley!

Very filling and good priced! Try the marrow and tartare!

Pretty good sandwiches but the sister store by lake whatcom is better.

Awesome view and good service. A little pricy but it's Langley, I knew what I was signing up for.

Suffers the fate of coexisting in quaint Langley with the king of island restaurants down the road. The food is average Italian. The ribeye was fatty but then I had kobe steak for lunch. The highlight: real raclette!

I had the calamri, it was pretty good but service was very slow and its on the expensive side. It was during the Murder Mystery weekend though.

Love the roof top deck and the view. Can't miss with their breakfast menu but the dinner menu hasn't been inspired.

The atmosphere was lovely; the service great and the food delicious. Plus, we saw whales across the street!

Had the bouillabaisse, it was cold, otherwise it tasted good, cute place nice deck

We've dined at Prima Bistro many times, and keep coming back for more. All the staff are marvelous - efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. The food is terrific, and many selections change with the seasons. The Friday/Saturday night specials are hard to turn down. The wine and beer selections are wonderful, and the cocktails are fabulous - best Moscow Mule I've fund anywhere. I've given up ordering one unless I'm at Prima.

Exquisite! Such great quality food and ingredients and a wonderful ambience! Beautiful view of the Sound too. Highly recommend

I was at Prima last weekend. The restaurant was super clean and the servers were friendly and on top of it. The food was delicious as it has always been for me. So nice to be out for a great meal and to feel safe. Bravo!

This is a pretty nice place. Outdoor seating with a nice view, blankets and heaters when it is cold. Seafood is fresh; the trout, clams and chorizo, and crab were our favorites. While the food is certainly of high quality, it is priced to match and is by no means the best seafood. Service is friendly and we did not feel rushed at all. Beer selection is limited to 5 or so taps. Wine selection is extensive.

Nice menu, good service, great location, outdoor patio in summer.

Great wine! David the owner was very sharp and very nice.

A favorite place to stop and enjoy a delicious meal. We visit as a couple, with friends or A little alone time while reading a good book with a glass of wine and hors d oeuvres.

Some of the things were great, some were not. The clams and chorizo, the oysters, and mussels were great. The lamb burger, prawns, lamb and noodles, not so much.

Excellent food, excellent service and delightful experience!! Keeps me coming back each time!

Went here for dinner, and though we had more people join our party midway through our meal (who were a bit difficult), the staff handled it without even a hesitation. Incredibly accommodating. Our dinner was quite good as well. Really enjoyed the rooftop view and ambience. Would go again if ever back on the island!

Prima is hands down my favorite place to eat and drink on the island. Craft cocktails and the juiciest burger! The view is almost as nice as the menu.

Good food and a nice view from the outside deck seating.

Unique little gourmet bistro on South Whidbey with a European cafe feel

Fabulous as always

I was expecting something amazing from all the great reviews. I wasn't overly impressed with the food at all. There was also a strong cleaning product smell in the restaurant which is good that they clean, but bad for the dining experience. 2 stars only because staff were friendly.

Loved the unique variety of menu. Had fried cashews and three small plates which were exceptional. Bar and wine lust extensive.

If you want great service and great food. The food at this place speaks for itself, then add amazing cocktails, chill-friendly service. They are doing it right at prima If Caysie is working order a martini, you won't be dissapointed.

Great service and stellar food! We had to wait a bit for our table to be ready on NYE and the owner bought us a round of drinks. Everyone was very knowledgeable and friendly and the food was DELICIOUS!! The menu is both creative and comforting, highlighting classic French bistro favs. We ll definitely be back!

Always excellent. The food is of high quality, always creative. Kevin and Casey, the bartender's are amazing too.

Great little spot in Langley for dinner, dessert and cocktails!

Fantastic service, great explanation of the menu as well as suggestions! Delicious food. Unique dishes!

Nice setting but menu is overpriced for the quality and service. If you like French seafood, then this is your place but that is too narrow of nitch for me.

This place is Incredible. Hi-quality french cuisine in a waterfront setting. I am going there again tomorrow!

Prima has long been a favorite. Casual fine dining with the best of the Northwest.

Excellent food and staff, I ordered the Mussels and they were melt in your mouth nummy I made the mistake of ordering a side of fries they were good too they were just in a big basket i ended up sharing them :)

Love the people, love the place, love the food. So excited it s time for French onion soup and raclette!

Fish & Chips were good. .lightly breaded and great taste. Almond prawns were the best thing we ate. The service was so-so, we felt like the waitress could have been a little more helpful with suggestions on the menu, we had to Google some of the items to see what they were. Apparently there was an ice shortage because they gave us no ice at all with our water (the only drink we ordered). I don't think i would return, not incredibly impressed.

Walked by this place with my family and grandparents and saw the name Prima Bistro on a door right next to the Star Mart. We wanted to see what this place was all about.

Upon walking in it's a quaint little bistro above a busy market. The staff was able to get us a seat and even accomadate my grandfather who is not able to walk to far.

We ordered a selection of appetizers and found that there was a very interesting selection of items.
(Fried pig ears, bone marrow, escargot.)
We decided to try some of what was mentioned above. As well as some traditional favorites like French Onion Soup which was served in a cast iron pot, and a bistro burger which was cooked to perfection.

All in all it was well worth the price and will definitely be the first place I think of when I want a more upscale and elevated menu.

High price. Food was ok but hard to really tell with how small the portions were. They were out of just about everything I went to order. Ended up paying way too much for some hard bread and a pickle. The Staff was pleasant though.

Always enjoy the food here for dinner. Great patio

Eat here several times a year when we visit by boat. Excellent.

I really like what the new ownership has done with the place. I'll be coming here more often to meet clients, or just to work on my computer over coffee and breakfast or lunch.

This place is way too expensive and not that good.if you go to Brighton island for the whale watching you should probably go to the pizzeria.

Fantastic views if you can get out on the deck in summer or at one of the front windows! The food is amazing and the service is great. Try some cocktails from the best bar in town!

Love Prima. If you want consistently great food then visit Prima. The staff is awesome, the owners are awesome, the food is delicious.

Wonderful food best bar....great atmosphere excellent service. Local fresh and fabulous

So far we have been here 5 times, we will likely return as well

I've never had a bad experience there. Beautiful bar, the food is fantastic, they are not a french fry place but their fries are my absolute favorite style, not to mention delicious. The service is always above par they know their menu inside out. The deck is killer in the summertime that you've been give the ladies blankets when the night chill comes in. Outstanding restaurant.

Upon arrival the staff was very friendly.got a seat right next to the window, food was great couldn't be better... even on a busy Memorial Day!

Great service, food is awesome. .great atmosphere, and staff. One of my favorite. .!!

Great restaurant and bar upstairs. We sat at the great bar and had appetizers. Cozy and fun.

Hands down the best outdoor seating & staff & food on South Whidbey Island.

Its known for its sea food and cocktails. One of the very few places which is open till past 10:30pm in langley.

Prima Bistro is a sure bet for well executed, imaginative preparations in Langley. Reservations are a must I the summer!

Great place to wine and dine. just make sure to pay attention to the time you go as to which type of menu you will get.

Went here for lunch while visiting family. Great view from our table. The food was very good. Had the soup, ceasar salad and mussels. Everything was very tasty. Definitely reccomend when in the area.

My girlfriend and I were re-seated 3 times. Then finaly offered a seat but by then we figured it would be in a back room closet. Very rude, we obviously didn't fit into their white pant suit tourist quota (my girlfriend is asian)
So embarrassing to us in front of everyone there to be treated so poorly

Charming, lovely place with water views in Langley.
Best croque madame on the planet! Food is always spectacular.
Our favorite Island place.

Great service! Great food! Great everything! A little bit pricy but definatly worth it!

Worth visiting for the happy hour menu. The service was excellent and very quick.

Every in Langley, do yourself the service of enjoying meal here. Check it the online menu. Tartare wonderful GF squid. Yep.

A great place for a drink and something delicious to eat

We had the chicken liver pate and house made pickle for apps. The pate was really good. The pickle was as close to a Mrs. Neusihin's pickle as I've had in years, though a bit more peppery!

Trout was smothered in capers (not my wife's favorite) and my wild boar ragout was very tasty if lacking any 'boar-ness' over beef. We finished with an ice cream sandwich which was about 5" in diameter. Tasted great but a little gauche to eat in a restaurant!

Beautiful views from the rooftop terrace and delicious food make this place a go-to spot in Langley

Great upscale food and service. Gorgeous view from patio.

Food is always consistently great with excellent service.

French inspired pacific northwest cuisine that has us always coming back for more. The clams and chorizo are great (and spicy!), the escargot comes in a wonderful sauce, the bread is fresh and tastey, and the salt-crusted fish is mouth-watering. They also have a large wine selection, including from local wineries.

I can't help myself. When I'm in Langley I check out the other places and am drawn back to the tasty food and hospitality at Prima. The last visit was no exception. The fried oysters were savory pillows of joy!

Good food reasonably priced wouldn't come back in a hurry!

Had a very average experience that was leaning toward disappointed. We came and had some drinks for happy hour and fried and the fried cauliflower. Our service was average, the waitress didn't seem like she had or wanted to take the time to give us service. We got oysters, trout, and the rock fish. The rock fish was bland and the oysters didn't taste fresh but the trout was fine. Overall wouldn't come back

Good! We ordered take out and everything was delicious. We had steak frites and the shrimp pasta and both were great! There were a few things on the dine-in menu that weren't offered as take out which was disappointing - we just weren't ready to dine in yet. Portions are a bit small but overall tasty.

$$$ An excellent meal with excellent beverages. Quite French. Phenominal view of "the Sound". If you are travelling Whidbey, the Langley town center has a lot of accessible shops, views and stroll so you can make your Prima Bistro visit complete.

Prima has a nice wine selection, and the food was exquisite!

Great oysters here, along with some interesting entrees. Specials rotate on a regular basis
Seafood and land based entr ees are equally well prepared
