This is the first time I was totally disappointed in Islands. Normally I look forward to come to town and having great food and service. The food was nasty tasting and made my stomach upset for over a day. The waitress avoid us walking around serving other table around us but never helped us. Drinks empty for over 30 mins. We flagged someone else down to get check. If this keeps up won't be coming back.

The food was good. The staff was friendly enough. We got a smaller table then I asked for. I ended up pulling a chair from another table to sit on the end. The table was very crowded. Some of the staff could have communicated better with one another. But some staff could be newer then others. Overall The food was great and the staff was nice.
