Best Bars And Lounges in San Ysidro

Cheese wheel truffle pasta was great! Drinks are good.

It's a vibe. We loved the esthetics, the music, the decor, and the live entertainment. It was nice to sink into a little ambient experience, have a nice cocktail, and also be able to have intimate conversations with friends. The room was just the right size - you feel like you having a shared experience with everyone there. We loved the quirky, short shows sprinkled throughout the evening. It was a nice touch that allowed us to connect with each other and meet and chat with the other people in the room. We also loved how the performers mingled and introduced themselves before/after their performances to the guests so we got to know more about them and owner came around to greet every table, tell the story of how it came together and what to expect, and checked back in on us throughout the night to see how our experience was going. This is a touch I haven't really experienced often in San Diego - this space is eclectic and inspiring. Bravo, Charade. Beautifully done. Looking forward to dropping in again soon.

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!

Great experience, special thanks to Miguel, he is very attentive and helpful, the food offerings are small bites but very tasty, their specialty drinks are delicious, we tried 5 different ones, the background music was super fun and the volume allowed to carry a conversation and enjoy the music as well, they also have live music. The bar interior is beautifully decorated like an old time airport terminal, very tasteful.

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!
