Island Prime - San Diego

  • Description:

    • With its over-the-water dining, patio with fireplace, plentiful free parking, and spectacular bay and skyline views, Island Prime offers a wonderful setting for executive chef/partner Deborah Scott. With dishes like the starter of shaved corn with black truffle and fresh herbs; hazelnut-crusted diver scallops; cedar-plank-roasted salmon with cucumber salsa and black linguini; and porcini-dusted rack of Colorado lamb with Moroccan-spiced tomato jam, the views actually have some competition. The restaurant's C-Level Lounge serves lunch and has a bar menu of both food and specialty cocktails. Tip: If you're stuck at Lindbergh Field, Island Prime is only a 10- to 15-minute walk from Terminal 1. Scott is also the mastermind behind the successful eateries Kemo Sabe and Indigo Grill. Both serve a culinary mishmash of Pacific Coast and Mexican/Southwestern cuisines to good effect and are worth a visit. Kemo Sabe is at 3958 Fifth Ave., Hillcrest (tel. 619/220-6802); Indigo Grill is at 1536 India St., Little Italy (tel. 619/234-6802).

      great dinner

    • The good is really, really good. Very large portions so consider sharing as many things as you can! Good atmosphere too if you are near the water.
