Our Christmas night experience at Island Prime was excellent! When we arrived, it appeared we would have a long wait even with our reservation. Our wait turned out to be only 10 minutes and that was totally acceptable. Our waiter was friendly, helpful and efficient. Our meals were yummy! I had the filet, and my wife had salmon. The included deserts were tasty. They were small, but that was appropriate after a big meal. We will definitely consider going back for another Christmas dinner at Island Prime!!!

Me and a friend stopped in and sat at the bar. We were greeted right away. All the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Food was amazing and didn’t take too long. Ambiance was perfect too, not too dark or bright. Shout out to Jad the supervisor for checking in on us and making sure our experience was a positive one. Will definitely be back!
