Come Prima, Crowne Plaza Muscat — Restaurant in Muscat

If you’re ready to spend upwards of 50 rials on a dinner then this is the spot for you. Come Prima in Crowne plaza was truly a journey from high to low. We started with the pan seared scallops which were heavenly, the texture was tender and perfectly buttery. The accompanying sauce was superb, the subtle taste of truffles elevated the dish to the next level. However, things began to go down hill from there, we ordered 3 main courses. Lobster tagliatelle, a seafood risotto and a lamb chops dish. In the case of the lobster tagliatelle the pasta was way too al dente, the sauce was all right nothing special and the lobster was too chewy (I suspect it’s not even fresh). The risotto was cooked well, the overall taste was tasty and the seafood to rice ratio was perfected. Finally, some of the lamb chops were cooked well done although we asked for medium. The taste was pretty good in general. The potato that came with the lamb was too hard for my liking. As a whole, the three main courses we ordered were all pretty average nothing to rave about which was disappointing since the prices were astronomical. Finally, we ended on a low note with an atrocious dessert dish. The chocolate praline were literally frozen cold we couldn’t even eat them. We waited for a while for them to be less frozen (enough to be able to eat them) just for it to taste old and bland. When we complained about how frozen it is the staff tried to gaslight us at first saying it’s supposed to be like that! However they agreed after to remove it from the bill since we barely ate any of it. Even with that the bill came out to an astonishing 64 rials for just 3 people! The staff were friendly and the service...

We had a very pleasant evening at this restaurant, which we actually chose randomly, but it turned out to be a great decision. The overall experience was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. All of the dishes we tried were tasty, with each one offering a unique and satisfying flavor. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming, which added to the positive atmosphere.

What truly stood out, however, was the service. The staff was attentive and professional, but we would like to specifically highlight Farhana Islam, our waitress. She was exceptionally friendly, warm, and attentive throughout our meal, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Her pleasant demeanor and willingness to assist with any questions we had truly enhanced our dining experience.

While the food and service were top-notch, the entire setting and attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant made it a memorable visit. Overall, we left feeling satisfied and happy with our choice. We will definitely consider returning in the future, not just for the quality of the dishes, but also for the great service provided by the team,...

Came to celebrate my husband’s birthday, called in advance to inform them to add happy birthday on the dessert, service was extremely slow and the waiters rarely popped out or paid any attention to us, our table was at 8 and by the time we got the dessert menu it was around 10:40, when we informed the waiter of our selection they replied “that will take 15 to 20 minutes” in a tone that spoke don’t order that… my husband didn’t appreciate that and we left the restaurant without having dessert with a bitter taste in my mouth —- when they say service is everything this is what they mean… I expected more based off recommendations and other people’s reviews but my experience had me disappointed, especially when I noticed the contrast of the staff’s general attitude and animated behavior while dealing with other tables around us who had ordered alcohol 👎🏼 Other than that the lobster pasta was very good,...
