Restaurants near Island Vista Resort

We were waited on by Julia and SA Mitchell. The service was extremely quick and attentive despite the fact they were sat about every 5 minutes another table due to high demand on Christmas. They tailored their service to our needs and timed each experience with great precision. The crab cakes were delicious and had a great ratio of meat to breading. The gumbo had a Louisiana flare that was a fun upbeat starter to pair with a non traditional holiday dinner. The sea bass, ribeye, sweet potato casserole, spinach, and lobster Mac will forever be the perfect pairing for a great evening. As newlyweds, we treated ourselves to crème brûlée with warmed cognac. 10 out of 10 experience, thank you for your attention to details!

New York Prime is a traditional old school Steak house with beautiful ambiance and classic service. We felt lucky to get a last-minute 7pm reservation same day Christmas Eve, however we did needed to wait to be seated for more than a half hour. It felt a bit long but it wasn't a big problem since we enjoyed some holiday cheer at the bar and chatted with others while we waited for our table. Our meal was delicious, and the steaks were done to perfection! We shared sides of creamed spinach and sautéed mushrooms that were more than enough for the two of us. It's definitely a pricey evening, but worth it for a special occasion .

Fantastic! Some of best she crab soup I’ve ever had!

Sean was a great server. Food was outstanding. We had calamari, chicken, Parmesan, and tiramisu for dessert. Everything came out in a non-rushed fashion tasting hot and delicious. When I used a gift card, I did not know I could not leave a tip on there. Also, from a previous receipt that I received at this restaurant I had a five dollar coupon from Clover that the restaurant does not honor. That’s kind of weird. But it was a great experience and we will be back. Thank you.

The food is great quality. The meats are seasoned perfectly and overall very enjoyable evening.
