    Lovely evening at IslandKitchen! The service and quality of food just excellent. Everything tasty and fresh, beautiful presented. Don’t know why we only came here for breakfast, (also great)- bring visitors, they will love it. Will be a regular spot for dinner from now on.

    We usually love going to IK for its reasonable prices and its fairly diverse menu. Unfortunately had a not-so-great experience this weekend. I made a reservation for my mother and I; both of us arrived right on time (my mom actually got there a few minutes before I did.) It was a quiet Friday evening at 5:45 with only three other tables (two two-tops and one four-top I believe, no more than a total of 8-9 other people in the whole place besides us.) We were routinely ignored for the first nearly 15 minutes; a waiter and the hostess both saw me as I walked in, but neither made a move to come to the table to welcome me or take a drink order. A couple who came in about 8-10 minutes after us received their drinks and I noticed the waiter taking their food order before we could flag him down. My mom finally caught his attention and asked if we could order drinks. She gave her order and he started to cop an attitude; I asked for what I wanted and he barely grunted in response. Because of the wait, the being ignored, and the attitude of the waiter, we decided to leave. I have worked in restaurants before and I can empathize with waitstaff dealing with certain customers or not having a great night. But it was not nearly busy enough for us to receive this treatment, as frequent returning customers, from both the waiter and the hostess. Unfortunately I did not get either of their names so that others may be aware of the potential experience they might have with these two individuals.

    We had a delicious dinner at Island Kitchen - great value on the Prix Fix menu, but the full menu was also an option. It looks rougher from the outside than it is inside…inside, it’s quite lovely.

    Fly husband had the potstickers. They were covered in the sauce used for shumai. That wasn't made clear on the menu. He wanted the potstickers more in the traditional soy, rice wine vinegar sauce, with red pepper. He only ate 2 of the potstickers. I had the Brussels which are always great! I had the bay scallops on squash puree. Scallops cooked wonderfully, the puree was delicious but cold on the plate is they made the dish a little lukewarm. Service is always superb!

    What a great way to end a day strolling in the power parched downtown We were seated promptly at a comfortable table and attended to we’ll by the attentive staff Food was tasty and all needs were attended to. Juicy steaks, bay scallops halibut entrees follow three awesome apps that left the seven of us fully satiated This was a return visit for some of us and we will be back!
