Prime Catch

Palm Beach, Reataurants 3 Minutes

A night at Prime Catch,

For our anniversary we always try to do something extra special and with what’s going on in the world today that is a bit more difficult. So, while our options were limited, we wanted to find a very romantic atmosphere and service on a Monday night. We decided on the recently renovated Prime Catch in Boynton Beach who happens to have live Maine Lobster specials on Monday nights.

The parking is good, but they have a free valet service with an exceptionally friendly and quick team of valets so we would recommend that. The front of the building is a little deceptive and reminds me of a quaint row of key west townhomes. Upon entering the building, you immediately realize how large the building really is. They have an amazing sense of style with a great mix of classy and cool modern. The lighting near the check in is spectacular and goes up to the second story and represents a “smack” (group of jellyfish). We made a reservation for the outside deck and noted on Open Table (where we make all our reservations) that it was our anniversary. We were immediately greeted with a warm “Happy Anniversary” at check in. I noticed that there were tables upstairs and large indoor seating areas. We were led to past a nice bar area and to the exceptionally large outdoor seating area and “Prime Island” boat parking and bar area (absolutely stunning!). The outdoor area is simply beautiful and has a huge deck on spectacular water views (including lights on the water). They had a special table for us and sat us right next to the water (very romantic).

The service is quick and friendly with our server adding “Happy Anniversary”. My wife is not a fan of the singing and surprises so I was hoping that they would not do that. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they did not do the over the top thing but did simple and sincere comments which I really liked. We ordered our drinks and are always looking for the fun and quirky specials you can get at certain restaurants (like this one). My wife ordered the Dragon Fruit Margarita and I had the Watermelon Margarita, they were both fun and delicious.

We decided not to order appetizers this night, but their list of appetizers is very good. We were here for the live main lobster and wanted to not be too full when we got to them. We sometimes order the appetizers and fill up on them before the main course is brought to the table and did not want that to happen tonight. They offered 1, 1 1/2, and 2-pound lobster with steamed, grilled, or stuffed options. My wife ordered a 1 ½ pound steamed and I ordered the 1 ½ pound crab stuffed. The lobsters arrived and they looked amazing. They were perfectly cooked, and both were delicious. They bring all the necessary accoutrements (small forks, shell crackers, and even the obligatory bibs). The lobster comes with a side and my wife got the whipped mashed potato’s and I got the baked stuffed potato. Both were delicious. My wife doesn’t like to clean a steamed lobster so I always get stuck cleaning hers too (a small price to pay considering I get to eat lobster on my anniversary in a great atmosphere with my wonderful wife 😊).

We often don’t order dessert (mostly because we are already full) but tonight we had the flourless swiss chocolate tort and I ordered a cappuccino. We sat for a while and just enjoyed the moment together in this beautiful setting. We really enjoyed ourselves and if you are looking for a place to spend time with your special someone this should be at the top of your list.

My wife and I have always been an unlikely couple and I think that’s why it works so well. We met in Palm Beach, became best friends, and eventually fell in love. We moved away and followed my career path which eventually led us back to Palm Beach. We had our ups and downs over the years, mostly to do with me working too much and traveling for long periods of time. I made a career change to travel less and spend more quality time with my wife and was lucky enough to find an amazing company in Palm Beach that made all the executives do a personal goal each week and report on if they accomplished it. I chose “Date night with my wife” since my career change was to spend more time with her. This was the best thing that ever happened, it made me accountable at work to do something for my personal life. And so, began “Date night with my wife”. We quickly realized that there were several things that made a wonderful date night and strengthened our relationship. The first thig was making it special. To us that meant a date night car, good food and a great atmosphere. Sounds easy right? Well, it’s tougher than we thought. No matter what you consider good food there are plenty of options in Palm Beach County so we thought we would share our adventures in date night and rate the different places we go. My wife is a wonderful cook 6 days a week and apparently, I can be “a little picky” about our special night out. We are happy to share our experiences and hope you find a way to make it special for your family.
