   I visit Primal a few times a year. They always exceed my expectations on service, food, and cocktails. I love the values they bring into this industry as well being minimal waste, using homegrown/locally produced products. This is always one of my top recommendations for anyone coming to Saskatoon.

   I’ve heard rave reviews so I just expected something a bit more. When we showed up with a reservation they didn’t even have the table open and didn’t seem to know what to do. I asked to be moved because the table was awful and loud and uncomfortable. The food was nothing to write home about and very expensive.

   The meal was exquisite, the service was sublime, and this continues to be one of my most favourite restaurants in Saskatoon. I recommend Primal to many friends and visitors. I have always found our dining experience at Primal to be memorable, and so it's become a place we go for our very favourite of special occasions, or just when we want to experience a simply outstanding meal. Thank you to each staff member who brings friendly charm and class to such a beautiful space.

   Try the bison carpaccio - absolutely outstanding. Paper thin bison slices topped with arugula, shaved parmesan, pickled walnuts and deep fried artichoke hearts. My husband’s creamy tomato soup was pronounced the best he had ever eaten. The pasta to follow was made in-house and combined tender chicken chunks, creamy sauce and was topped with crispy chili bread crumbs. Superb! We were celebrating an anniversary, and we were surprised to be greeted with two glasses of complimentary champagne. We will be back!

    I personally find it harder to sit at the higher table but others at my table were ok. because the space is small, i also found the noise level a bit high, but everything else was superb

    Exceptional! My husband and I went to Primal for our wedding anniversary and we were greeted with complimentary champagne! The staff were very knowledgeable about pairing wine with the food and about my celiac restrictions (zero symptoms the next day!). The service was friendly and efficient. We chose the course menu and the food was phenomenal! It was a wonderful night out and we look forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

    Amazing food, excellent atmosphere. One thing they need more of: alcohol-free cocktails. They have a good selection of juices, and Italian soda. But they are missing actual alcohol-free cocktails.

    The chicken Alfredo was cold when it was served, and not at all creamy. It was dry and not hot. The other 3 dishes were hot and very good, but the chicken Alfredo was not at all good

    Amazing as always. Our server was attentive and friendly. We always choose three dishes to split between the two of us (instead of an appetizer) and we get to try new things on the menu and enjoy some favourites. That said, the rigatoni and the celeriac ravioli are a must-try for new diners. Primal is our favourite place for special occasions in Saskatoon <3

    My favourite restaurant in the whole city. From the quality of food to the ambience. Best place to intimately celebrate with a group of friends for any occasion. Looking forward to see how the renovations go. Only thing negative I notice there is the music can be quite loud sometimes, difficult to hear server!

    I enjoyed the over the top flavour in the tomato sauce in the eggplant parmigiana (also the best main dish for a person with diabetes cuz low carb count) and the crispy crunchy breading with just the right amount of cheeses.. our servers were great with our big group too. Enjoyed the experience

    Fantastic evening as we ease out of the COVID lockdowns, the drinks were starting excellent, the appetizers which we all shared from the brad, to cheese sticks, to olives, to oysters were superb. The mains - i had the black cod were a nice sized portion, beautifully presented and with the extra of potatoes and garlic were yummy. I tasted the fettucine and it was creamy and garlicy. Desserts were delicious. Definitely be back. Service was attentive and comfortable. One draw back was the very loud party of four in centre of restaurant.

    It was a birthday supper and we were both extremely happy with everything we ordered. Stand outs were the pork with truffle oil, the ravioli with blue cheese and pear, and the squid ink risotto. 10/10 would eat again.
