Insula Restaurant Reviews
Insula has become a favorite place for lunch in Ely. The menu is varied, and the lunch soup and sandwich is just the right size. I really like the Bahn Mi sandwich, probably my favorite. The atmosphere is quiet, which is very nice for conversation. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice place for lunch.
Low options on the menu. And service is awful.
The food and service were excellent.

Insula Restaurant is a popular spot that serves up delicious dishes. Their menu features a variety of options, including the yummy pot pie, BLT special with mozzarella and balsamic, fries with Bernaise sauce, and a good selection of salads with unique dressing choices. The catch of the day is often a branzino, perfectly cooked with crispy skin, and sides that are highly praised. Guests also enjoy walleye piccata and a variety of lunch options, like the Bahn Mi sandwich, which is a favorite. For dessert, many find the gluten-free chocolate cake very good, especially when paired with strawberry rhubarb compote. The restaurant offers a selection of local craft brews and has a trendy atmosphere with a friendly bartender. While reservations aren't accepted and there may be a wait, many agree that the food and drinks are worth it. Insula has become a favorite place for lunch in Ely, appreciated for its quiet environment that’s great for conversation. Despite sometimes being a bit chilly, with cold air blasting from the vent above, it remains a great spot to grab a bite to eat. The staff is usually caring, and the vibe is enjoyable, making it a highly recommended destination for visitors.
