Used to be the best place on the island
I have been going to Cozumel for the last 3 years. Prima was my favorite restaurant. I mean, we even walked out of La Veranda to eat at Prima, and we had it the night before.
Just returned from a visit to Cozumel and boy were we disappointed. We went to the restaurant and it was closed! Signs said that they moved to the condo building near to Chedraui, same food, same staff, same prices.
We took a cab over. Prices were definitely not the same. My usual order (Combo) used to be 190 pesos and now it's 250 pesos. We figured that was ok, with the economy and the new fancy digs, it was expected. The entrees came and the portions were half the size they used to be! The sauce was gloppy, pasta was soggy, and the seafood was mushy and overcooked.
The owner was there when we were seated and was such an ass! He mentioned that people said that they would not visit the new restaurant and that he didn't care because he is making money anyways! We had 2 people bail on us, and he was like "That's OK. I don't need the money." Hmmm...
And the garlic rolls were missing! Replaced with cold hard bread... :(
All in all, Prima used to be great. But not anymore. They need to get the old chef back, or someone should open another Italian place and put the old chef in charge!
