“After a friend recomended this restaurant, it's been hard to stay away. I had my favorite waiter again, John, who is like part of the family. What an exceptional human being, as well as the chef & bartender. We also had Oysters Rockefeller which was delicious. The clams casino was just as great. Even their house salad is phenomanal, plenty of whole slices of tomato and fresh greens. It's enough for 2. I've ordered house salads from other restaurants which were way more expensive and found prices of lettuce with a little brown on a piece of lettuce. Not here! The chef takes great pride in delivering the food personally to your table. You can tell he's very passionate about putting smiles on people's faces with his culinary skills. After dinner, John gave us a tour of their new deck in the back. It's for the public but is used for private parties, weddings and birthdays. It's a pretty wonderful area. Very festive! Folks, if you haven't tried it, you must. One of the other things I find pleasing is how the staff truly works together as a team. They like each other and if they see your water glass needs filling or an empty dish is on the table, someone will take care of it if your waiter is not in the immediate area. But John is very attentive and checks on us often. I have never eaten in a restaurant, where the prices are very reasonable and the service & food have been fantastic....consistantly. Everything I've ever ordered there has been absolutely delicious, a true culinary delight. Everything is fresh. Their veal is not frozen and the veal parmesan is to die for. I also order a drink, the same one every time, their vodka mule. They are so delicious, I had to inquire about the ingredients. The bartender is highly skilled (NOT someone who Google's a recipe) and he is always upbeat, super friendly and eager to help. He made my mom a Cosmo. She said it was so good, she even inquired as to its ingredients. Please, give them a chance, you will not be dissapointed!”

“Brewers Landing is a nice little gem, hidden in a small neighborhood. The outside bar was nice. The service was good and the food was pretty good. There was a really good band playing, and the breeze off the water was perfect. The only real negative is that the outdoor has open smoking allowed, so there are times when you get inundated with it. Next time I go I want to try the crabs.”

The food was absolutely amazing—flavorful, authentic, and cooked to perfection. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the rich taste of the jollof rice and the deliciously savory egusi soup. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding. The team at Foodsleeve was incredibly responsive, accommodating all of my requests, and ensuring that everything was on point for the event. I highly recommend Foodsleeve for anyone looking for top-notch African cuisine”

“We had our wedding here. Island View Waterfront Cafe was everything we envisioned for our wedding!! It had that backyard wedding feel with GORGEOUS waterfront views! Jess was absolutely amazing to work with and her love for weddings and desire for you to have your dream day is evident after working with her. She is a great communicator and was a huge help during the different planning stages of our wedding. During our rehearsal and on the day of I came to her with all the questions and she had already had the answers and plans for those worked out and she is a HUGE reason why our day went so smoothly! We love and Cherish being an Island View Couple!! Some cool perks: flexibility to pick our own vendors; chairs and tables were included in the rental; we rented out the the evening before for our rehearsal and hosted an informal pizza party as we were setting up and organizing all the decor which made everything so much easier; you get to work with Jess and I can't say enough good things about her!!”

The thing that stood out to me about their menu is that it was very straight forward and they had awesome reviews. I always get weary of pizza places that have a very long menu list with items ranging from pizza to sweet and sour chicken… #redflag lol Marcos Pizza stuck to what they know they do best and it really is the best. I got the cheese steak pizza (amazing) and my husband got a classic pepperoni pizza. We love the pizza dough and how they bake the pizza. Packaging was awesome , you can tell they put a lot of pride and effort into their food. This is my new favorite pizza place.”
