Four of us chose Isla Blue for Thanksgiving Dinner. None were intersted in the Thanksgiving special. The menu offers an increible selection from both land and sea. We opted sea. Before discussing food, I would be remiss if I did not commment on our server, Clint. From the moment we sat, until we left, Clint demonstrated a highn\ly knowledgeable, professional and helpful approach. He falls into the category of the "menu guide" type of server, with stellar communication skills. All four of us remarked of this before we ever had anything served. It only got better. Coctail menu will offer you some great choices. Starting with appetizers, the Concha de Perla shared cold plate was an excellent choice. We also were intrigued by the North Drop Noodles , made from tuna. It did not let us down. Also enjoyed the Isla Roll. Mains included the whole fried snapper and the grilled lobster. I opted for the seared scalllop starter as my main. Rave reviews fro all, and everything elegantly plated. WIne menu is not deep, but ample interesting choices. We chose the Vionta Albarino which paired well with the mains. Shared desserts included the coconut cake, well liked, and the Mango, not as well liked. A final comment is that we were allowed to linger and never rushed to leave, although we were last, under the attentive care of Clint.

Excellent food and service. Portions were perfect and servers friendly and prompt

The his first class all the way. You can tell that the staff and management really care about the final presentation. Managers checked on the table multiple times staff was very engaging and suggestive. The bartender was second to none. The vibe and ambience was wonderful. I highly suggested this Restaurant.

Excellent service and good food per usual. Humberto has been my waiter on several occasions and he is attentive, professional and personable. He returns to the table just enough but not too much…always accommodating. The food and atmosphere is fantastic! Continue to keep up the great work providing locals and tourists with fine dining offered by a black-owned business man. Kudos! Dr. Trisha Harris STEEMCC

We had a noon reservation time and were seated immediately. Shanay was a wonderful server! She asked each of our names and gave great food recommendations! The food was delicious! We had the chicken wings and sliders for appetizers and the tacos for entrees were all delicious! Drinks were strong! Can’t go wrong with the rum punch or love and go!
