We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and the staff really did everything to make it a special occasion. Our waiter, Davor, was excellent, one of the best we’ve ever had. The food was definitely above average and beautifully presented. The location is hard to beat.

I have not been back for about 2 years because I have been traveling out of San Diego. Last night, I was reminded how tasty the food is at Island Prime. Every time, it is such an unforgettable culinary experience, for me. Of course, the staff and service folks are very friendly. I truly enjoy dining here.

We met up with old friends at Dockside1953 for an anniversary celebration. The atmosphere around the fire pit table was impressive and kept us warm during the evening. The service was excellent and not rushed at all. Our server was always on cue when pouring our wines and bringing the next drink. The food was outstanding. Both my friend and I had the filet mignon. We're both meat connoisseurs, and the steak here was the best I've had at any restaurant (or elsewhere for that matter). My buddy is a San Diego resident (I'm from Canada), and he'd never eaten here before. Dockside 1953 has become his new favorite restaurant. Our wives had the chicken and drugstore burger and loved it. Highly recommend.

Went for happy hour last Sunday and the food, drinks and service were amazing! I’ve been to Moe’s a few times over the last couple years and it never disappoints! Their Happy Hour menu is such a great deal! Had the steak skewers, shrimp cocktail, burger & wedge salad (2 people) and it was more than enough food! Got dessert to go and it was delicious later.. husband was content with his Old Fashioned.. I was happy with my espresso martini and glass of wine :) yum
