Prime One Eleven — Restaurant in Trumbull

Prime One Eleven is hidden on Route 111 in Trumbull, but it is a treasure worth hunting. We arrived for our reservation on time and were kindly greeted and escorted to our table, which clearly had been set apart solely for our reservation. The dining area, featuring a trendy, industrial meets southwestern atmosphere, was packed with friends, couples, and families. The aesthetically simple yet contemporary decor and architecture made us feel like we were in a popular big city restaurant within the small town of Trumbull.

Our waitress promptly greeted us, provided us with our drinks, and took our order. We began with the Garlic Bread Tower appetizer, which was perfectly toasted garlic bread piled high on top of a creamy Gorgonzola fondue. The appetizer was only a foretaste of the deliciousness to come. I enjoyed the Californian Artisan Pizza for my main course, which is blackened chicken, avocado, slab bacon, red bell peppers, and bleu cheese on an artisan pizza crust. My fiance gave high reviews to The Steak Sandwich, which consists of aged sliced sirloin, horseradish cream sauce, roasted red peppers, and grafton cheddar all on fresh baked garlic toast. All of these dishes surpassed our expectations and the portion sizes are appropriate for the price (if not surprisingly larger).

While the food was spectacular, I knock off a star for the amount of time we waited to tell our waitress our dessert order. Though we ended up passing on dessert (simply because we had eaten too much already) and had requested an additional two minutes to look over the dessert menu, we ended up waiting for a little more than 15 minutes, causing us to almost be late for our evening movie. The service was otherwise attentive and I gave the server the benefit of the doubt, as the dining room was very busy.

Overall, fantastic food and awesome ambiance. Prime 111 may become a new regular on our date night...

BUYER BE-HAIR

Debated posting this but it needs to be shared after the atrocity of my dinner last night. We went to Prime 111 to celebrate a birthday and I ordered the wagyu filet as an extra special meal for myself. When the dish was placed down in front of me, there was a long hair WRAPPED around my steak. I flagged down our waiter, who was obviously swamped with tables, and told him. He took my plate and apologized. I went to the bathroom while I presumed I would just be made a new steak as any restaurant would do to come back and be told that the waiter came over and said it was obviously my hair (it’s important to note that my hair was pushed behind my shoulders the entire night and there was no way I could have wrapped my own hair around a piece of cooked meat) the waiter came over to me and said “so the hair was blonde and nobody in the kitchen has blonde hair except the hostess. Do you want a new steak or do you want them to just fry it up for you” (fry?). At this point I’m pretty upset. I looked around and found said hostess, who had her blonde hair in a loose bun, running food and going in and out of the kitchen. I asked for a new steak. After about 15 minutes, the waiter came back and told me it was going to be another 2. No problem, it’s a fat steak and I was willing to wait. WELL, the blonde haired hostess brought the steak over and said NOTHING, but the minute I cut into it, it was cold and practically still mooing(ordered medium). With empty water glasses for the entire table and our server obviously busting his butt to provide mediocre service to his huge section, I decided to just ask for a box and not complain again at risk of ruining a special evening. For a $70 steak, I am beyond upset that no management came over to apologize and I was blamed for a kitchens incompetence. This restaurant should have higher standards for the way it...
