Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Came for Christmas dinner on the 25th - some minor hiccups where they didn't have our reservation and tried to have us order off a set menu with no steak (it's a steakhouse?), but all was easily rectified and they accommodated us nicely. That said, the rest of the meal was great - really, really delicious and elegant presentation across apps, steak mains and dessert. Loved the bottle of easy drinking primitivo to accompany one standout dish after the next. Decor was cozy and Intimate, service prompt and efficient (not warm per se, English minimal). Price points rivalled a mid tier US steakhouse, but quality was there and we were really impressed! Nice location next door to casa casco where you can start or end your night with an energetic rooftop drink!

Romantic spot! The first dinner here was awesome, so we decided to go back. The tuna tartar was incredible - presentation included pouring oil on the dish at the table. The second dinner we were lucky to see a young man who arranged in advance to have a large bouquet of flowers on his table and also hired a violinist to serenade his girlfriend through part of the dinner. We still wonder if he proposed...if he did, we bet she said 'YES'!

Rip off and below average food. There are quite a few other great restaurants nearby (and even next door) that are much better in terms of value and price. I had just landed late and ordered chicken fingers and a bottle of water to go that cost me $28 total. They charged me $4 for a small cup of ketchup and hot sauce. I lived in Soho, Manhattan for 16yrs and never felt so violated. It's not about the $4, but the principal. I asked the manager if they would charge additional for sauce if I sat and ate and he said no. He had no answer when I asked what was the difference. Then he asked me if I wanted to tip for takeout. Joke.

May have given this place a 4 or 41/2 were it not for the undercooked steak I was served. The arrogance of chefs who think they know better what temperature I should eat my steak at is astounding. Medium is not rare or medium rare/rare. It is medium; pink, no blood and no raw meat in the centre. I pay you to serve me what I ordered. Do it, or state on your menu that you reserve the right to serve steaks as the chef sees fit. See how many patrons eat elsewhere. Front house staff were excellent. I could not fault them. They made every effort undo the damage, but the second steak was not medium either, though better than the first and they poured an extra glass of wine. All appreciated, but in the end we ate our steaks alone, as my dining partner was finished as my second steak arrived. Not an optimal outcome for a $160 dinner. We tipped service staff well for their efforts, but I would not return.

The service is slow but worst of all was the food. I ordered a New York steak, which was inedible, something wrong with the meat, which was tough and had a strange consistency. Asked if I could have another cut of meat, the same as my girlfriend, which they did manage to turn around quickly but unfortunately this meant there was no time to cook it so it was basically raw. Two people two terrible steaks 1 glass of wine and 1 coke ended up costing 140 USD. Total rip off

We were looking for a special place and were walking by here the atmosphere inside looked perfect so we asked to see a menu before entering. It is pricey but like I said we were wanting to have a special date night. So we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. Everything was amazing, had the Best martini and the food was delicious steak cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend this place and would love to go every time I have a chance.

Had to have my stomach pumped for Bacteria or E. coli in the salad obviously someone didn’t wash there goddamn Hands or They didn’t clean the prep area , was Throwing up for 2 days OK I’ve eating a steak there before and it was Excellent, but because of that night would NEVER Eat THERE AGAIN !! And even the night I had a steak that was excellent. I told waitress was a nitwit at the end of a meal. We ordered dessert and another drink and ask her to bring the check with it and she never brought the dessert or drink. Just just check.

They perfectly comply with the three pillars of hospitality: food, service and atmosphere. I wasn't planning on eating there, I was exploring the old town and they caught me on the street. The food was a SHOW for the senses. The brutal empanadas and the meat…. Bordering on perfection. The Colombian waitresses were super professional and very friendly, they explained everything to me and couldn't stop laughing. The manager explained many things to me about the meat and gave me a shot of the best rum I have ever had in my life. In short: they gave me the best dinner I had in 4 weeks there. Keep up the good work and congratulations on your work. I have a magnificent memory and a very full belly haha

My wife and I love dining at Primitivo restaurant, it is located in the center of the historic Cassco Viejo neighborhood. We got to this restaurant on the recommendation of our tour guide Alex while walking casco viejo and we couldn't have followed a better recommendation than this. Dinner was delicious, more than delicious it was fun. The place is like being inside a prehistoric cave. The service and food are 10 out of 10. Highly recommended.

Had dinner at Primitivo restaurant of PTY with group of 8 family member. We all had steaks. Some had rib eyes and other had Sirloin Steaks. We all agreed service and food were very good. My Sirloin Steak was cooked to perfection at Medium plus ( pink, not blood but cook ok). It was sirloin from imported cattle, very tender and juicy. Red wine by the glass was very good. Will return for steaks at this restaurant and recommend it for great dinner experience

Highly recommend the nachos. Best thing I have had on the whole trip so far. Primitivo Punch was good. Grilled steak main was also very good. Service was friendly. Ambiance was nice and comfortable (before the club music started). The only issue is that both our steaks came out medium rare even though I asked for medium well. Maybe just a language / disconnect. They fixed it right away.

Ambiance was outstanding. Jessica, our server was excellent. Tuna tartar was on point. Filet not quite like we have in the US (tough) but the short ribs…my oh my, the short ribs! Melt in your mouth. Truffle fries very good. Vegetables and sweet potato swirl on main plates were cold. Easy to over look for those darn short ribs. Did I mention the short ribs? Lol overall an excellent experience! Highly recommend for foodies. (Side note, table next to us were clearly pleased with the empanadas. Their salads looked great too.
