Leave a ReviewWonderful meal with the family. We had a very good server in Jessie S. All the staff were great, but she really stood out
When you want a nice restaurant with a nice view of San Diego bay and top notch service do yourself a favor and visit Island Prime. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and the staff went out of their way to congratulate us more than once. The food was incredible, my wife ordered a delicious Corbin fish which was delicious- I ordered a 32 day aged NY steak-perhaps the best steak ever? I think so, the restaurant graciously gifted us dessert that was super yummy.
