    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!!!

    We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. The best thing about our dining experience was our waiter, “Max”. I would highly recommend you request Max should you dine at Eddie V’s. Max was attentive without being over bearing, humerus, friendly, and simply great at his job.
