The Cohn Restaurant Group’s Island Prime on Harbor Island was ranked Wednesday as one of the 100 best steakhouses in America by OpenTable.
The restaurant, which has a commanding view of downtown San Diego, was the only local steakhouse to make the list.
Farther up the coast, Newport Beach boasted two, and Los Angeles was home to three, and chains like Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and Donovan’s Steak and Chop House got high marks.
“With its long history and timeless traditions, the steakhouse occupies a special place in our nation’s dining culture,” says Caroline Potter, OpenTable’s chief dining officer. “These winning restaurants are honoring those comforting — and delicious — traditions while providing top-notch hospitality that diners want to return for again and again. We can’t imagine a better place to celebrate the holidays than at one of America’s greatest steakhouses.”
The list of the 100 Best Steakhouses in America was generated from more than 5 million restaurant reviews collected from OpenTable diners between Oct. 1, 2015, and Sept. 30, 2016.
