PRIMAL By Mia Cape May Reviews from The Last Year
When you have a menu that works, stick with it.
And that's exactly what Mia does. Oh she'll charm you with delectable, exquisitely created specials to keep us on our toes, but it's the steak and seafood that continue to excel. We dined on the filet and small so African lobster that we're done to perfection. And this was at the end of the evening, when everyone is tired and beat. The corn fritter app was good, although I think the shrimp could have been slightly larger and the tails kept on for texture, but that's just me (and it's not my restaurant). The bread, salad and dessert included were each individually sublime. No doggie bags needed from us. Never felt rushed, however, we didn't feel entirely embraced either. With such a special dining destination, I like to feel special. Because the food says it's so. The ambience is California chic. Soft. Romantic. A tad noisy, but certainly doable. Wonderful overall and I'd highly recommend! Looking forward to future visits.
First of all - the food is very good.
its mostly a steak house. Service is very good and considerate. Ambiance....not impressed. This is the 3rd time we have dined at Primal. We always selected the ocean view seating. and for the 3rd (and last time ever) we were again seated at the table for two next to the grass wall. This is probably the worst table with the waiters squeezing past to get to the other tables. Primal has the lock since very few dining options are available at this time of the year. So for us this was the last time.
Well Done!!
This place was highly recommended and it’s not hard to understand why. The intimate atmosphere of the restaurant and smell of the wood stove is very inviting. Our waitress Madelina was more of a culinary tour guide from the moment we sat down to when we left 1.5 hours later! Mia and her husband are the only ones in the kitchen and cook right in front of you. The food was prepared to perfection and the attention to detail during app/main course/desert plate presentation was impressive. This meal was 5 star + and obviously we’ll be back next time in town.
Best food i've ever had, beautiful location, service was
Best food i've ever had, beautiful location, service was amazing. I absolutely cannot wait to go back this summer. Definitely recommend trying
Wanted to see what the hype was all about.
Had reservations, arrived early. The staff was very friendly. Our waitress gave us the full rundown since we had never been here before. Now as far as seating, I was not a big fan of it. They sat us in between 2 other tables. There was absolutely no room for us to squeeze in on either side so we had to sit on the same side of the table. They charge enough not to have to squeeze people in and give more space. Do better! The only thing saving them from getting 3 stars is that the staff were very friendly. Now the portion sizes are good, steaks were cooked perfectly as ordered. They are cooked over a wood fire. I found that the seasoning was only on the top of the steak where the char was.
Visited again yesterday, third time at Primal by Mia.
Each time we go, is better than the previous. We discover different tastes and new favorites. Attentive service and excellent dinner. Don't pass this up when in Cape May.
Primal never disappoints! Service always on point.
Do yourself a favor and make a reservation.
Great Steak in January
I have steak all over the country. Primal had the absolute best I’ve found. Was cooked correctly. Sides were ample and service was good. Easy to get a reservation in January but quality was first notch!!!
Had dinner at Primal last night.
The service was excellent. We asked to be seated early and they were able to accommodate us by sitting us 30 mins early. For an appetizer we had the pork belly. It was tender melt in your mouth and seasoned perfectly. For our entree my wife and I shared the tomahawk steak. It was cooked perfectly to a medium rare. I love steaks cooked on a wood stove. Such a great flavor from the wood and a great char. For our sides we had the mashed potato and creamed spinach. Both were amazing. My only small critic is no options for vegetables. Steak is heavy, creamed spinach heavy, a ribeye heavy. I like a simple grilled vegetable when eating my steak. To keep it light. For dessert we had the chocolate cake and chocolate moose. So good with a caramel sauce. Primal is my one of our places in Cape May and we're never disappointed.
Overall we were very impressed with the quality of food
Overall we were very impressed with the quality of food here. The places nice cosy and intimate. By the way salad and desert comes complimentary so that's a nice addition. The place is byob. there's not much street parking so that's a down but I would definitely come back again!
We live about 4 miles from primal and have now dined here 4
We live about 4 miles from primal and have now dined here 4 times. Loved it every time. Most recently was a 70 th birthday for a group including 1 in a wheelchair. They were very accommodating with the wheelchair and once again, the food was delicious.
Absolutely delicious.
Our steaks were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our server Madelina was awesome.
Worth it.
I think I'll try a fish entree next time. The bread was the BEST the dipping oil I could swim in it! The sides salad & dessert were all phenomenal! I had the barrel cut ribeye it was the best piece of meat everrr! It was better than my husband's filet.
A gem overlooking the ocean
I'd had my eye on this place for a while and finally pulled the trigger for a dinner reservation for me and my wife. Reservations can only be made close to the date and following a slight misunderstanding about the timing, enjoyed a superb dinner with some of the best filet we'd had in a long time. While definitely featuring "fine dining" prices, so much was included in each meal, which was a nice surprise in these modern times of restaurants trying to cut corners by making everything a la carte. We had a nice conversation with the owner who is refreshingly passionate about her business and truly cares about her guests' experiences. The steak alone will have us returning, but fortunately there is so much more to love beyond the main courses.
Exceptional Experience
Incredible food, service and atmosphere! Owners truly care about their customers’ experience. The food is very creative and the quality is exceptional. This restaurant checks all boxes!
Surprise surcharge
Interesting menu. Good food. Ok service. Added a surcharge to my bill with no prior notification or explanation. Not rushing back.
Always Amazing
Primal is my absolute favorite restaurant anywhere! Each visit leaves me waiting for the next. Mia and Joe are truly wonderful. The burrata is always out of this world. The shrimp and crab is truly delightful and the filet and lobster is something I dream about. Who can complain about included dessert?!
Amazing Food
Amazing food . . . from the salad course to the dessert course. Everything is delicious. A little pricey, but well worth it. This was our third year eating here (for our anniversary), and we have never been disappointed. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're in Cape May.
Hit and Miss for Costly Experience
After reading the many glowing reviews about the "best restaurant in Cape May" we were very pleased to get reservations for our desired time since we were told how difficult it is to get them in season. Maybe we were expecting too much, but with the prices charged for each course plus sides, a culinary experience at least on par with specialty restaurants on cruise ships we have been on would have been a minimum. Unfortunately, Primal did not meet our expectations with a "barrel cut ribeye" that was cooked as ordered but was not as tender as a normal ribeye; the dry aged ribeye at a higher price might be a better choice we will never have to make, however. The halibut ordered by my wife was actually excellent but the presentation left much to be desired and it was definitely not worthy of a photo as a lump of blacked something........which again tasted great but looked sad. Vegetable dish at $13 was too sweet and contained strange assortment that many must like to rate this restaurant so highly. Kudos for the bread, salad and dessert courses that were included with the meal charge although once again the dessert had an apple layer that was very highly oversweetened. Fortunately for others who love this place, we will not be competing for those table reservations in the future. Not worth the cost and other choices in Cape May will be in our future.
Incredible Cusine
We have dined at Primal since they opened. Each meal has been a culinary adventure of the best kind. My New York strip steak was done to perfection. These are truly prime cuts of meat. The chef doesn’t know try to cover a mediocre steak with over seasoning . The owners keep the menu constantly fresh particularly in the appetizers. It’s a BYO so this makes the meal well worth the price. The decor was fresh and pleasing. Of course having a window with an ocean view capped the experience. All of the servers were attentive, helpful and well trained. This is a dining experience that I will remember. Each meal that I have had there topped the one before.
Enjoyable Meal with great Atmosphere
The service was excellent. Kimberly was a great waitress and also know we needed a carafe for my 10 year old Dunn Howell mountain Cabernet. (It’s BYOB) Our Tomahawk steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. Plus meal came with salad and desert. An enjoyable experience

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.

Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50.

Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.
