    The food and service were both excellent. The waiter was very attentive and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The salmon was prepared in the way I requested and was excellent. We will be back.

    The waitress was extremely rude to us and all the other tables she had. My filet mignon tasted like it was made last week and reheated. I could get over the bad food, but the service made our experience miserable. The $186 bill was not worth the food and service we received. It’s a shame gratuity was included in the check because she did not deserve the 18% tip she received.

    Great indoor & outdoor patio venue. Tiki bar outside. Beach & ocean just steps away but not visible from dining venues. Music can get too loud at times, but entertainers will tone it down if requested. Food is good & servers are friendly. Owner makes delicious dinner rolls!

FAQs

Yes, The Islander is a popular choice for date night thanks to consistent live music, a cozy island‑style atmosphere, and a menu of steaks, seafood and shareable plates. Guests frequently call it a favorite for casual date nights, praising the food, dancing and attentive servers on many visits. Expect a lively evening on entertainment nights; consider an early reservation or patio seating if you prefer a quieter table.

Portions are generally generous, guests often note plentiful servings and good value (large prime‑rib portions, big fish sandwiches, twin lobster tails and shareable appetizers). The menu lists specific sizes for some entrées (e.g., 7 oz lobster tails, 8 oz filet, 12 oz rib eye), and guests report hearty appetizers and entrees that are easy to share.

The Islander is open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, serving breakfast through dinner and offering evening entertainment. For busy nights or holidays, call ahead to confirm current hours or special event times.

It depends on your priority: go in the evening for live music, dancing and a lively vibe (weekend nights and Fridays are especially busy); choose an early dinner or weekday visit if you prefer a quieter meal. Guests suggest making reservations for entertainment nights and arriving early if you want attentive service and a calmer table.

Warm, casual and island‑themed with lively live music most nights. Many guests enjoy the retro, friendly “Cheers”‑style vibe, dancing and energetic entertainment. Note that music can be loud on entertainment nights (some guests ask for lower volume or prefer patio seating). Overall it’s relaxed, fun and ideal if you like dinner with a show.

Casual dress is appropriate, guests range from tourists in shorts to locals dressing up for date night. The owner lists the restaurant’s dress code as casual, so comfortable, neat resort or smart‑casual attire fits well for dinner and entertainment nights.

You can request seating or note celebrations when booking, but callers should follow up by phone, guests report some reservation notes (like birthdays) weren’t always noticed. Because service and attention to requests vary, it’s best to call ahead to confirm special requests like seating preference, dietary needs, or celebration touches.

Busiest: evenings with live music (especially Friday and Saturday nights and special dinner‑themed nights). Quietest: weekday mornings and early dinners or off‑season visits. If you prefer a calm meal, aim for an early dinner or weekday visit; for the full entertainment experience, choose weekend evenings.

For live music, dancing and the full energetic vibe, Friday and Saturday nights (and other entertainment nights) are best. If you want a quieter meal with reliable service, a weekday or early evening visit is a better pick. Many guests return weekly for weekend entertainment and specials like prime‑rib nights.

Yes, the restaurant is open daily (8:00 AM–10:00 PM) and guests have reported dining there on holidays like Christmas. Because hours or special menus can change for major holidays, call ahead to confirm service and any special offerings.

Yes, The Islander has outdoor patio seating and a poolside tiki bar where guests often dine outside. Several guests recommend sitting on the patio for a quieter experience away from the indoor music, though pool noise can be a factor when people are using the pool.
