    We celebrated our first wedding anniversary at 677 Prime, and it was everything we could have hoped for! The tomahawk steak, creamed spinach, and asparagus were phenomenal, the Frenchy’s cocktails were delicious, and the crème brûlée was heavenly! The atmosphere was beautiful and lively, yet comfortable for conversation. Our server, Brendan, was truly 1000/10! Warm, attentive without being overbearing, and incredibly thoughtful. He made us feel genuinely special, turning an already wonderful dinner into a beautiful memory of our first year of marriage. An unforgettable anniversary experience worth every penny. We can’t wait to return!
