About Us

A charming exterior view of Prime 36 Italian Steakhouse.

Forty-five minutes from Manhattan, at 36 Oakland Ave in the village of Warwick, NY, sits a restaurant that has earned a place on people's anniversary shortlists, birthday bucket lists, and spontaneous Tuesday-night splurges alike. Couples drive an hour for the seafood tower. First-timers walk in skeptical and leave calling it one of the best meals they've ever had. That kind of word-of-mouth isn't bought. It's built plate by plate.

Prime 36 Italian Steakhouse marries two culinary traditions that were always destined to share a table. The Italian kitchen's obsession with fresh, seasonal ingredients meets the American steakhouse's reverence for properly aged, perfectly cooked beef. The result is a menu that feels both indulgent and intentional. Ingredients are sourced with the same care a seasoned Google reviewer noticed immediately, describing the freshness as something that sets this room apart from the NYC steakhouses they also cover.

The atmosphere earns its own praise. This isn't a dining room that asks you to rush. The space invites lingering over a second glass of wine, savoring the final bites of a shared dessert, and wondering when you can justify coming back.

What We Offer

The menu at Prime 36 is built around two commitments: prime-grade beef handled with precision, and Italian cooking rooted in technique rather than trend. Dry-aged cuts arrive at the table with a crust that speaks for itself. Housemade pastas, fresh seafood preparations, and starters like the celebrated seafood tower for two round out a menu that rewards exploration at every visit.

Beyond the food, the full-service bar and thoughtfully curated wine list are designed to complement rather than compete with what's on your plate. Whether you're planning a private celebration, a milestone anniversary dinner, or a long overdue weeknight treat, the kitchen and front-of-house team bring the same focus to a table of two as they do to a full dining room on a Friday night.

Prime 36 is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon, with dinner service running until 10 PM on weekdays and 11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends.

"We traveled about an hour to eat at Prime 36 for our anniversary. This was our first experience eating there. We had a seafood tower for 2 as an appetizer which was fresh and delicious. We each had a risotto dish as our entree. One was listed on the specials and we believe it said it included beef as well as seafood but there was no beef noted in the dish. Both risotto entrees were flavorful and good portions. The most disappointing part of the experience was the drink. I ordered one glass of white sangria and it was very bitter and watered down. The service was excellent and the restaurant has nice ambiance."

"I review many restaurants, and Google ranks me in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers, including in NYC and internationally. I must say, Prine 36 is one of the best restaurant experiences I've enjoyed. The steak was exceptional, with NYC-quality standards! Located in the tranquil Warwick, NY area, you can enjoy outdoor dining under umbrellas, dine indoors, or relax at the fully stocked bar. Prine 36 has become my top-tier restaurant!!!!!!!"

"I don’t often do review for restaurants but I had a particularly interesting experience. My husband and I had dinner here to celebrate our anniversary last night. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated by a young man who was very polite. Shorty after our female server came over and took our order. Food and drinks came out quickly as we were the only ones there at the time. Food: The food was just okay if I’m being honest. For the price I do feel like blue point in Newburgh at the waterfront is much better. Atmosphere: great! 10/10. I even liked the Halloween decor they set up! Service: Service was great until the check came. We received a gift card from my father that he just purchased on Saturday. We gave it to the server along with another from of payment for the balance. When she came back she explained its balance was 150 but the gift card was for 200 written and signed by the staff there. She then explained that they don’t fill out the gift cards until it showed her the certificate. Then her story changed and she said she would fix it. I don’t know if it was a true mistake but it definitely felt like she was misleading us and trying to take advantage. I really didn’t appreciate it. She did end up fixing it but the vibe felt totally off. When I asked her who’s signed it she said she didn’t know. I find it hard to believe she didn’t know what staff member issued the gift card. I won’t be returning!"
