A nice place with good food that you can likely get even last minute reservations at (or walk in!) Scallops from the raw section were most memorable. The duck was delicious, as was the rock shrimp pasta. Can't remember the other dish we got so guess it wasn't so memorable. I'd recommend giving this restaurant a try but will probably visit others before returning again myself.

So when a restaurant is new and trendy and expensive it almost always leaves plenty of room for disappointment, namely because food can sometimes be an afterthought. Have to say, Principe delivered big time on all fronts. Went for our 5 year anny and have a wonderful meal. Food, service and ambiance were all excellent. The menu is split into raw, starters, pastas and mains. We decided to stray away from a main to have more variety of all the other wonderful menu items that preceded. While everything was great, the raw bar (which is a big part of their concept) stole the show. For one, because everything was so so fresh and delicious. But even more, because their preparations of basic raw bar bites like oysters and scallops and crispy rice spicy tuna were so amazing. They don't just drop you an oyster for you to adorn yourself, they serve you an oyster that's been masterfully created with all different amazing flavors. What a delicious bit. Same went for the scallops, tuna and lobster salad. Top notch. The starters were great too, particularly loved the pea Caesar salad (don't ask questions, just order it). Pastas were good, the malfadine rock shrimp is their famous one. Tortellini in brodo was nice, it wasn't bad, but def the least memorable and somewhat bland (can skip). Drinks were really good too. Service was great, shout-out to Jordanne who was super attentive and knowledgable (brought her sommelier sensibilities to walking us thru the food in great detail). And last but not least, the ambiance. The whole space is beautifully designed. The upstairs is the "main" dining room. It's really beautiful and a bit livelier/louder. The downstairs is a dim lit vibe, def cozier, more intimate and in my opinion the place to be. Really nice. Overall a super experience , go enjoy

Full marks!!! The service was really impeccable this time around. The manager was so understanding and accommodating of my FODMAP intolerance, and he even threw in an extra pasta dish that was FODMAP friendly compliments of the house. Bread continues to slay. Chandelier continues to slay. Drinks slay. My favorite thing is the rock shrimp mafaldine.

Food 8/10 The raw bar was amazing. The scallops and oysters had so many different flavors and textures. The tuna was also pretty good, but not the best I've had. Quite fatty and pairs well with the persimmon. The bread came with butter and chili oil. I almost died from the chili oil I choked on a chili flake and my entire chest and throat felt like I was going to combust lol. But besides that the bread was so soft. The branzino was super tender and flavorful, definitely recommend that as well. The cauliflower and mafaldine were just okay though, those are better skipped. Atmosphere 7/10 Very vibey, dim lighting. Quite loud inside so it was a little hard to hear sometimes. Space is available for large parties. Service 7/10 They were nice and all, but lacked the attention to detail to refill my water glass when it got empty and on multiple occasions I had to ask for more water.

Alrighty here we go - is principe worth it? The meals cost a pretty penny which makes you ask this question, but as soon as you walk in and are greeted by a nicely dressed host asking to take your coat, you know you're in for an above average experience. Most important thing to note - the portions are small but packed with flavor! If you've ever seen a fancy restaurant in a show or movie, and they give guests super small bites of food garnished with a fancy leaf - this is that type of place. It's kind of silly to have a party of 6 order a lobster entree expecting a whole lobster only for it to be 1 lobster tail cut in half. BUT, and it's a big but, these were some of the best bites of food I've ever had with beautiful presentation I've never seen so I really couldn't let myself knock off a star. Highlights - everything was amazing but the rock shrimp pasta was so buttery and flavorful it is a must get. They had a tuna crispy rice special that night which was amazing as well and the oysters were so flavorful. The snow crab claws were delicious and the bread with goat cheese - wow. Don't even get me started on dessert you NEED the ice cream cookie sandwich (it had caramel inside too). Overall YES, this place is worth it with the note that portions are small so order more of what you like. But it is definitely a once in a lifetime dining experience.

Super vibey date night spot with yummy seafood options. Price point feels a bit high bc the portions are bite sized. But still, loved the scallops with pistachio The highlight is the complimentary bread. It's like an English muffin and has the perfect fluff & chew. Delish with the goat butter For the main course we wanted the duck but it takes an hour to make?? Crazy. Instead, got the rock shrimp mafaldine. Kinda over cooked but a solid choice. For dessert, highly recommend their fior di latte ice cream, topped with pepper and olive oil. Super smooth and tastes very expensive. Snow Crab Claws $20 Scallops $16* Rock Shrimp Mafaldine $35 Fior di Latte $11* 해산물 한입거리가 맛있는 Principe. 가격대가 좀 높은게 흠인데 다른건 다 좋음. 서비스도 굳 분위기도 굳. Raw bar에서 시키면 2피스씩 나오는데 요게요게 맛남. 관자 추천이요~ 찐 하일라이트는 서비스 빵!!! 잉글리쉬 머핀st 인데 쫀득하고 폭신폭신함 따듯한 빵에다 염소 버터를 쓱 발라서 칠리오일에 찍어먹으면 완벽. 메인은 오리를 먹고싶었지만 한시간 걸린다고해서.... 마팔디네로 변경함. 약간 오버쿡되서 나왔지만 그래도 낫 배드. 디저트는 후추랑 올리브 오일이 뿌려진 우유 아이스크림 먹기!! 완전 고급지다

We went here for dinner. The place had a mixed of upscale yet industrial vibe to me. We ordered the three raw bar dishes and two mains: - Tuna: the blood orange gave a refreshing flavor, the daikon gave a crunchy texture and the tuna was flavorful. One of the favorites. - Snow crab: the sauce was yummy and the crab was ok. - Sea urchin with tomato: the sea urchin didn't have the texture that you usually get with sea urchin and the combination with tomato was not the best tbh - Bread: we weirdly got served bread after the raw bar. It was good. - Branzino: the fish was so tender and delicious, the fennel helped clear the tastebud between bites - Roasted lobster: the lobster was yummy but the sauce was kinda salty for me. I think it came with a side of fries. Overall, some hits and misses. My favorite was tuna and branzino. I may come back to try other dishes on the menu.

Principe is a solid new addition to the area! If you like things served over ice, this is the place for you. I tried: + Mezcal and apricot spritz - good + Cucumber limoncello sour - great + Marinated tuna - great + Oysters - great + Snow crab claws - only miss, skip this + Scallops - great + Rock shrimp mafaldine - best thing I ate + Basil tortellini in broth - great + Lemon meringue popsicles - great and so fun Gorgeous restaurant and service was great. Just note the raw bar section involves very small portions - literally 2 bites - but they are clear about this on the menu. Complimentary house bread was also incredible!

Everything from start to finish was 10/10. Made a reservation for downstairs a couple weeks in advance (recommend because it got really packed around 7pm). The upstairs is more bright/restaurant style and downstairs is darker/more loungey. We ordered the Scallops and Sea Urchin from the Raw Bar to start with. Both were fresh and had delicious toppings to accompany, but the Sea Urchin was the better bite here. For drinks, I ordered the Cucumber Limoncello Sour and my boyfriend ordered the Chinotto Sidecar. Both drinks were well balanced and had good flavors. Since these were tiny raw bites, we decided to order the Rock Shrimp Madalfine as our main "Appetizer." This was sooo good and I would come back to order this as my main. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the rock shrimp was so juicy and the sauce wasn't too salty/delicious. For our Mains, we chose the Sweet Corn Polenta and Grilled Duck. I never usually order Polenta, but this one spoke to me because I love corn. This was so good and I was surprised I liked it as much as I did. The other entree was the Grilled Duck with Blueberry. Cooked to perfection. It is on the pricier side, but the food is actually worth the price point here. Only regret is not having enough room to try the dessert!
