Prime Steakhouse @ JW Marriott Hotel Medan
This is my 4th post of this newly opened JW Marriott Hotel in Medan. Some of you must have thought I have been brainwashed by the PR department by now… I never knew that being part of a Media group can be this fun… I was at the grand opening, launching of Jade Chinese restaurant, tried their Quan Spa, and recently got myself in for the Prime Steakhouse as well as an experience at the Health Club..
I love eating out… and I intend to try out at the Prime Steakhouse anyway.. but been rather busy so.. never really got the chance, then the PR dept called in… so.. here I go again…
The place is definitely posh, glittering, chic, stylish, fabulous… what’s more impressive is that the Grill is only one of the only 2 in the world… there are smaller ones in other countries but for one that’s of the size, Medan’s JW Marriott indeed make sure it is grandly displayed for their guests to see…
Price wise, we had the business lunch… which is value for money – 3 course set menu at just Rp 168.000 ++ including 1 drink… even though the Nett price will set us back at Rp 200.000, but taking into consideration of the place, service, and that BelMondo, Traders, Medan Club are pricing at least Rp 200.000 for their basic steak… And to argue that the hotel is charging 10% + 11%, well, did you realized that a normal restaurant actually include 5% + 10% in the bills…
Food wise, the starter and the dessert is a must die for… the main course, the steak is served with lentil sauce … which is not the typical pepper or mushroom sauce that cut into the meat taste… should you have not try the place out, do try out the Business Lunch promo, which guarantee you be back in office within 45 mins..

Hi, I have been occasionally reading your website and I just love the flow of your work. But unlike you – my dining experience at the Marriott’s JW Prime Steakhouse – was bland to boring. For a restaurant touting a very fancy grill, the steak came to my table … lightly warm and tough. This happened not once but 3x. The appetizers and the salads were good but if you are going to be know for steak, you should serve it right . They must have known you well to be served such a good meal. There was only a few tables everytime I came so to me, there was no excuse for the slooooowww service. Too bad, the manager does not care enough to so something about it – when the captain asked how was the meal, I had to give an honest answer.
Traders and MCP – is so far, still my favorite for steak

Tess..
dont know what to say to you myself… you are right that they know me and that’s why I am being treated differently and also why i have found out that writing a food review is not fair unless I went in as a normal diner…
