Prime 112

The restaurant tells itself as the inventor of a category: „The first modern steakhouse in the United States", opened on 2 January 2004 by restaurateur Myles Chefetz. Its strongest pillar is atmosphere, and explicitly as energy rather than calm: it sets itself apart from „dark leathers and low lighting" and puts in their place a room where „the hustle and bustle of the room creates a collective dining atmosphere that is second to none". Its own guests belong to the attraction, described as „the country's most eclectic mix of upscale clientele". Hosting as a theme is absent; the house justifies its kitchen through sourcing, as „a philosophy of buying the best product".
