What People Are Saying About Island Prime
The Editor
Erin Chambers

The Scene – Expansive ocean views from Harbor Island and wooden, nautical decor characterize the large dining room, which contains a dozen or so premium-view tables along the window and a handful of raised booths set back along the wall. Carpeted floors and candles keep the mood soft and relaxed. – – The Food – Steak and seafood at it's finest--and priciest--dominate the menu. Classic starters like shrimp cocktail get modern twist with Chipotle cocktail sauce, and both the filet wrapped in bacon and seared sea-bass are rich and flavorful. Doggie bags are a must here,…

wonderful view!
by TerraLikeWhoa
i loved the mac and cheese and creamed corn. the filet trio is a delight! im already a fan of ms scotts, so it would be hard for her to let me down at this point.
- Pros: great cocktail list. inventive, wholesome dishes
- Cons: the staff needs a lesson in etiquette and wine knowledge.

Amazing filet mignon
by happyhillary
Thanksgiving lunch was truly amazing here, with the cruise ships gliding past and the impeccable service. Granted, we spent 500 bucks in fine wine, yet regardless, the steaks were like butter. My filet mignon was so pink and tender and the truffle inspired mashed potatoes were heavenly. My spouse loved the rac of lamb. Even the rolls were crisp and fresh. Decor is simple/minimal and classy. Bright window seats or back farther towards the main door. This place used to be reubens years ago. Overall I was impressed. Prices are a bit higher than most fine steak houses, yet similiar to Rainwaters. Enjoy!
- Pros: View, wine selection, service, timing
- Cons: Just a bit higher than hoped

Great View, Great Deal
by sugarywitch
C-Level has great food deals and happy hour. Enjoy the view through huge windows or from the lovely patio. The food is well priced for what you get, the salads and the lobster mac are great. They once served the best burger in San Diego. However, the last time I went they refused to cook it below medium well and it was terrible. I hope this was just a fluke, because otherwise I'm going to have to go on a serious search to find a new burger spot!
- Pros: View, Food, Value
- Cons: They may insist on overcooking your burger
