About

Island Prime in downtown San Diego's Harbor Island district is the city's only waterfront steakhouse, built on wooden stilts over San Diego Bay at 880 Harbor Island Drive with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the downtown skyline and Coronado Bridge. The a la carte menu features 38-day dry-aged New York strip, a signature filet trio topped with blue cheese and Alaskan king crab, and seared blackened tuna — surf-and-turf pairings that share Harbor Drive's fine-dining waterfront with Top of the Market's seafood-focused service further along the bay. A separate casual counterpart, C Level Lounge, operates its own kitchen and menu in the same stilted structure, extending the property into a dual-concept waterfront complex. The wine list runs deep in California and Pacific Northwest selections, and the bar program adds cocktails built for sunset-hour service over the bay. Private dining accommodations and the over-water dining room place Island Prime alongside Sally's Waterfront Dining as one of few San Diego venues where the table itself sits at harbor level. The largest-format buyout converts the full stilted dining room into a waterfront reception pairing coursed steaks, whole lobster, and the 38-day dry-aged program with panoramic bay and skyline views.
