Gentlemen and women would you like to impress a first date or to celebrate just life in a outside or inside cozy brunch on Sundays OR Monday thru Saturday a awesome menu with great service with a friendly staff at their bar inside their plush restaurant. If you are having dinner base on the weather sit down to a beautiful fireplace and enjoy live entertainer with song sounds of your Choice. No band but the pianist and composer voice will take you back in time. The appetizers along with the main meals are enough food for a to go bag. I would like to suggest their Ribeye or a Tomahawks. Don’t forget to order a delicious side dishes along with your meal choice guaranteed to melt in your mouth. During football,baseball and basketball season or your favorite sports enjoying the big screen TV. In the outside garden ambiance. Think Prime is located on Western in San Pedro CA. Here is my thoughtful and appreciative note you can consider when you choose this restaurant for your favorite occasion or celebration. I recently had the pleasure of dining at one of the best steakhouse in Los Angeles county. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to the owners. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere after being gone almost a year. Prime in one of my favorite places to dine. The service always exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring, which truly enhanced the entire experience. Of course, the highlight was my Ribeye and my my guest had your Tomahawk itself — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly a treat for the senses. It's clear that a great deal of passion and skill goes into every aspect of your establishment. Thank you for providing such a fantastic dining experience always.I look forward to returning soon. Their Oyster Rockefeller will give you a big jump to dinner.

Had an amazing dinner at Think Prime. The ribeye was perfectly cooked—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Sides like the cream corn and mashed potatoes were just as impressive. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt both classy and comfortable. Highly recommend for any steak lover!

The food was delicious. Had a filet that was cooked Perfectly and sides were just as yummy. Everyone food was done perfectly and served with a reasonable time . Our waitress was pleasant, helpful and made us feel at home. Highly recommend. I only put 4 stars because we had a group and wanted to do separate checks but the manager wouldn’t allow it and made a comment for us to. Leave if we didn’t like it. We stayed because most of the group did want to Leave and our waitress was so accommodating. If it were just my husband and I we probably have left. Happy we stayed. But will never go with a big group again given we cannot do separate checks which in this case is well Over $500. Their loss.

Came in for an anniversary dinner on a Tuesday at 5pm. We both had their prime rib special for $25 each. That comes with a brillient lettuce wedge salad, with blue cheese dressing, red onions, and a very nice amount of excellent bacon crumbles. It also comes with bread, which was three one inch slices each, which managed to be very crusty on the outside, yet underdone on the indide. Not fans of the bread concept. The special also comes with the chef's choice of dessert which was a generous wedge of dark chocolate cake. Very moist, and tasty. The wife wanted more chocolate frosting, but the servings were a good value. Finally, regarding the prime rib, our server advised as the prime rib special is 10 ounces, it is harder for the kitchen to produce a portion on the rare side, so you should order it rarer than you normally would. The wife ordered super rare and it came out medium. She cut it to be sure. We would have to order a regular portion to get it more rare. They later rescinded that to the chef would try doing a replacement portion. We declined. We felt, if it's a known issue they would have better control of the issue by now. Service, however, was excellent!

Convenient location. Excellent staff and great food with reasonable prices for Happy Hour. I had the onion rings, fish & chips and lava cake. The onion rings and fries were fantastic. Fish was not good and lava cake was just ok. First time I've never finished a lava cake in my life. It was disappointing.

Old-school steakhouse. We loved the food. My husband said it was the best prime rib he's had in years. I had Steak Haché (has sauteed onions and peppercorn sauce)and double-baked potato with bacon and cheese. The onion ring tower was amazing. Creamed corn is tasty too. Obviously not a place for low-fat food, but delicious and a treat for Father's Day. We had LOTS of leftovers to take home.
