[COMMUNICATED] By L. Halevi. Remember when you had to travel in to New York to buy a hat or a suit? Remember when fresh meat and milk wasn’t readily available in Lakewood?

Most of the people reading this probably don’t remember the long-ago times when “township” was an apt description for Lakewood (and are probably rolling their eyes at the thought!) Over the past few decades, Lakewood has become nothing less than a full-fledged city with nary an amenity of any form lacking to meet the needs of the rapidly growing and diverse frum community.

Though the yeshiva remains the nucleus of the city, and a primary reason that many opt to call Lakewood their home, the local availability of kosher food, Yeshivos, Bais Yaakovs, Kolelim, wedding halls, playgroups, day camps, Gemachs, social programs, organizations, services and just about anything else that a frum person can ever need, continues to drive hundreds of new families to settle in Lakewood each year. In fact, by the latest estimation, there are close to 12,000 frum Mishpachos in Lakewood, and growing, Kein Yirbu.

The only area where Lakewood was perhaps lacking was in the area of fine dining. While many fast food eateries, pizza establishments and even dairy and meat restaurants exist, for a truly five-star, upscale restaurant experience, people still headed to Manhattan or other metropolitan locales.

Enter Prime Ninety Five.

With the recent establishment of Prime Ninety Five, there is no longer any reason to shlep to New York City. There is no longer any need to sit in the car for over an hour, each way, to enjoy an upscale dining experience of the highest caliber.

Prime Ninety Five has spared no expense to ensure that from the moment you walk through their doors until the moment you finish your mouthwatering dessert, you will have been transported to an island of ambiance, have felt a culinary experience like no other, and will leave totally satisfied, already dreaming about repeating the experience in the near future.

The culinary team at Prime Ninety Five, led by award-winning celebrity chef Tony Macaroni, features an exclusive array of fine Italian cuisine, steak dishes, authentic Japanese Sushi and a delectable line of exclusive dessert items, all made fresh on premises. The bread is baked in house, the garnishes are produced from scratch, the vegetables are all organic and the service is unparalleled.

There is truly no other way to describe the magical experience but to call it an “experience”!

Prime Ninety Five has an exclusive VIP room as well as a beautiful party room to accommodate business events, Sheva Brachos and other upscale occasions. One business owner who recently brought 7 business associates to Prime Ninety Five for a business meeting, had this to say: “Wow! My colleagues were blown away! They could not believe that we were sitting in a kosher restaurant!” Indeed, the only thing that parallels the quality and taste of the food is the uncompromisingly strict level of Kashrus. From the checking of vegetables to the Mashgiach Temidi who does all the actual cooking, no stone is left unturned to ensure that Prime Ninety Five deserves the highest kashrus certification that is bestowed upon them by the Kashrus Council of Lakewood(KCL).

Prime Ninety Five is conveniently located at 95 East Kennedy Blvd (in Shloimy’s Kosher world plaza) with plenty of parking available for you and your guests.

Though the restaurant has been open for a few weeks already, the Gala Grand Opening will officially take place on Sunday, May 17th, 2015. The entire community is invited to stop by between 3pm and 6pm for a Grand Tasting Event, to view the venue, greet proprietor Yudi Toporowitch and Executive Chef Tony Macaroni and the rest of the culinary team, and taste the delicious fare.
