Service and ambience are very good. Food has been inconsistent- food temperature was cold, and taste was mediocre. Disappointing.

I've enjoyed Island occasionally since 1987. All these years later it does not disapoint. Upper East Side neighborhood choice.

This is my new favorite place for brunch. My wife and I went on Saturday and we loved it so much we came back on Sunday.

Hi, I have eaten it Island many times. I think because I adjusted my reservation from 2 to 3 people the day of I was seated all the way in the back and not that I have a problem with that, but I felt like the service was not its usual service. Our food took almost an hour to get to us and I don't think it's because the food that we requested was well done as we were told by our waiter, that seems very unusual. I think he wasn't on top of it.

Great service, food and ambience. Definitely the place to go for casual dinner on mid-90s Madison.
Sharon
Wonderful service. Delicious foods. Exceptionally warm family friendly atmosphere with a sophisticated flair.
Pamela
As always, we had a wonderful evening. Fabulous waiter and staff who are exceedingly kind to families with kids! This is our go to Upper East Side restaurant when we visit our kids/grandkids. Thank you for being so nice every time we come! Happy New Year!
Deb
Great food served in a very pretty neighborhood restaurant. Staff is good bit can be snappish when the restaurant is busy. I keep coming back for the food, though, which is excellent.

Frittata was excellent. My husband loved the crab cake sliders and sweet potato fries. We always enjoy this place.
Susan
The servers were very kind. We all thought the food was extremely mediocre. We had a warm chicken sandwich that was mushy on one side and had zero taste. We couldn't believe it! Soup nothing special..
I and two friends had an excellent dinner; the staff was great. We discovered that early in the evening on Saturday there are many families with small children, who created quite a din. But, overall, highly recommended.

Food and vibe can always b counted on at island! A great neighborhood spot. Good kale salad. Took a while to get our drinks, but it worked out fine.
Nicola Kastner
An incredible restaurant that I completely recommend. Full of friendly locals and the service and food were incredible. Shout out to David the bartender from a fellow Canadian!

Always have a wonderful time here! My husband and I have been going here for decades- even when we were dating. Casual, sophisticated, and relaxed. We’ve always had a great meal with friends, family, or just by ourselves. A steady go-to restaurant now that we don’t live in NYC. Now our kids go!

My family plans to return here every chance we get. This place shows attention to hygiene and vibe. This spot offers the freshest ingredients without the premium cost. The staff truly treated us with exceptional kindness. Good character forms this restaurant's foundation.
