His passion for fine dining is paired with dynamic kitchen management skills for assorted menus at the bar, on the deck and in the elegant dining room.

Under one roof, diverse menus combine classic favorites with modern twists to be savored in surroundings of equally balanced contrasts with a striking d�cor. The Prime experience is underscored by excellent service and topped off by a spectacular view of Huntington Harbor.
