Yesterday, I had the pleasure of eating at Island Prime’s C Level, on Harbor Island. A member of the Cohn Restaurant Group in San Diego, Executive Chef Deborah Scott has a true winner on her hands. If talking about scenery alone, C Level is an ideal place to dine. Restaurant overlooks an expansive view of the SD harbor, downtown city skyline, and Coronado bridge. We were lucky to be seated on their outside patio, at a table bayside.
Now based on the food, the place may be at ‘C level’, but the quality earns them a solid ‘A.’ You can check out their menu & specials online at: http://www.cohnrestaurants.com/menu-restaurants/island-prime/.
The Food Picks: There were ample gourmet dishes to choose from on the lunch menu - appetizers, salads and sandwich creations. I didn’t have to struggle long to decide my order when I came to, Lobster & Fontina BLT on the list. This sandwich is exactly as titled and served between toasted pieces of jalapeno cheddar sourdough bread, with a side of their lobster bisque. Generous amount of lobster salad, which combined nicely with the spice from the jalapeno bread. Well played! Delicious and a good-size portion to share. I will be back for this again…
The second dish was the Blackened Chicken Quesadilla. Sounds fairly standard for a San Diego menu, but ours boasted a roasted-corn salsa & caramelized onions, topped with fresh avocado crema, and served aside pineapple salsa & chile black beans. A lot to go around & packed with chicken. Another fine selection…
This is a great choice for lunch, happy-hour post work, or a nice dinner out. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to trying their new seasonal specials soon!!
