    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!

    Food came out quickly but was cool, definitely not hot. Draft at table from door opening and closing with strong wind and very cool temperatures outside. Overall very attentive and cheerful staff. Would go again if not so cold and windy outside.
