    My wife and I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary at Island Prime, and had the best dinner we have had in years. Excellent service, superb food, and the best ambiance we could have wished for. We chose to celebrate at Island Prime because my wife and I met for our first (blind) date there and wanted to return to enjoy the memory. We reserved the table through OpenTable and added a note about our special occasion. When we arrived, the hostess congratulated us on our anniversary and sat us at the best table in the restaurant, with amazing views overlooking the ocean and downtown. Then the manager Megan came over to congratulate us as well! We were impressed that they read the reservation requests and followed up with such personalized service. We watched sailboats, a cruise ship leave port, and a romantic sunset. Our waiter Patrick and his waiter assistant Jasmine gave us the best service all night – they were both at our table before we could even have time to request anything. Exceptional service all evening. The lobster bisque was rich and tasty, the crab and lobster were perfectly cooked, and their famous popup breads were the best. And Megan treated us to a celebratory key lime pie tart that was out of this world. Just a perfect evening. If you have a special occasion, make sure to let Island Prime help you celebrate, and I expect you will leave happy campers like we did. We will likely make this an annual event. And we saw the Restaurant Week menu posted at the entrance, so we will soon enjoy another special dinner, and at a great price!
