BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER! We had the BEST experience with Marnie and her crew!!! EVERTHING was easy and stress free from day 1 !!!! They made the best suggestions, were always right there with an answer when we had questions, and the week of the wedding they just went above and beyond the call of duty!!! Marnie was right on top of things, we had 200 HAPPY GUESTS!!! the food was TOP NOTCH! EVERY guest RAVED about the food!!! What wedding ever has good food??? Well, The Isles knocked it out of the park!!! Everything was smooth!!! (except for coccadotts bakery, do NOT use them) Marnie even was a massive help when the Coccadotts bakery didn't deliver the 16 dozen cupcakes we ordered and paid for! BUT Marnie even helped us with that! 200 people are hard to please, but I"m still getting texts on how awesome the venue and staff were!!! Getting married ocean front but without the mess of the sand etc was an easy decision! It was so beautiful! THANK YOU !

The nicest part about this bar is that it's outside and you can see the ocean. You have to pay $5 to park. You will receive a coupon for $5 off an appetizer or entree. The bartender was not very attentive, and the bar area wasn't clean. I had the tipsy turtle drink, which was super sweet but not bad. The salsa and cheese dip tasted like they were from a jar, definitely not fresh. If you just want a drink by the ocean, it's the perfect spot.

Nice atmosphere. Great views. Fries were fabulous. Charcuterie board not so much. Priciest pepperoni I’ve ever had. Cheese was soft and mushy. Crackers soft. Staff seemed preoccupied. Bathrooms were very weird. Hostess had her butt cheeks hanging out.

One of the best views on the island. Service is horrible. Bartenders put their hands all over the straw. The young man was licking his fingers, then serving without washing. Music was hard rock and obnoxious. It's worth a try for the view, but a one and done.

Terrible food. Shrimp was not only dry and old but over cooked. Chicken fingers over cooked. Fries were old. Had to beg for napkins. I'm pretty sure we were bothering the waitress asking for refills. She sure did bring the bill and clean up fast. I wouldn't come back here for much certainly not at beach prices.

We went to have drinks and enjoy the sun in the afternoon, total disappointment. I was accompanied by my mother-in-law and my husband, so 3 of us total. We went to the outdoor bar and sat down, there were 7 separate patrons besides us… most of the bar was empty. There was a ton of dirty glasses, empty bottles, and trash where people had left and the bar wasn’t bussed off… we struggled to find a clean place to sit (there was none) and settled for 3 chairs with garbage on the bar in front of us hoping we would get helped. There were two bartenders, maybe 3 a young man helped a lady who came up to the bar 5 minutes after we got there. We sat for 10 minutes and got no service while one bartender was talking to a man the whole time and the other one was breaking down boxes right in front of us. No eye contact, no hello we will be right there… nothing. We were completely ignored. I would have been more understanding if they were busy, but they were not. So we left and brought our business elsewhere. We were really excited to enjoy an afternoon cocktail and enjoy the view, complete disappointment.

Our group enjoyed late afternoon beach side cocktails. They close at 5:30, so we ordered dinner to go. The shrimp basket, sandwiches, and burgers were all very good. We look forward to our next visit.

Online menu is inaccurate. There is no fish available which is what why we came. Not many people here....food and drinks ok but took forever. Waited over an hour after order for chicken strips and two shrimp baskets. Don't waste your prescious beach time!

I don’t normally leave reviews but this is the second time I’ve been here and they bring you your appetizer and completely forget about you. Never even got our food.

Chicken fingers delicious and hamburger. I don't recommend the Buffalo chicken wrap unless you like cold chicken.
