    Absolutely loved the food and ambience. The music was a little too loud as we could not hear ourselves speaking.

    Ny family and I Had a wonderful experience at Primi-shift Restaurant. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. Everything was spot on, from the service to the atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d happily return to and recommend to others.

    We sent a chicken espitada dish back because the chicken was clearly off, smelt and tasted terrible like rotting meat, sent the dish back, they apologised brought another dish and has the audacity to charge us for the rotten chicken!!! this place is badly run and is a scam, there are far better restaurants in Melrose, I will never eat here again!

    We had a lovely early dinner at Primi Melrose Arch before looking at the Christmas lights. The restaurant is well positioned in the square and the staff were so accommodating and helpful. The food was the usual Primi delicious and we enjoyed ourselves.
