I have been to The Islander a few times and it never disappoints. Tonight was made extra special due to the attentive and delightful service by Tyler. What an amazing server. Wonderful attitude and such a welcoming spirit. Will certainly keep recommending to my friends. Bravo!

Wonderful spot on Bainbridge Island! Though they have a meat-centric menu, their vegetarian items are surprisingly tasty. Their drinks are top-notch and the vibe is very chill.

Chill vibe, deliciously crafted mixed drinks from a full bar and a solid, winning dinner menu. Best Brussel sprout appetizer on the planet. This is the place we go to feel truly casual and dine like royalty of a bygone era.
I’m not complaining about the food quality or service. In fact, the food we got was very good. We ordered their burger and grilled shrimp skewers, but this is not what we came for. My problem is that they put a picture of seared scallops right on the front of their Google Maps page but when we got to the place the server said no “they don’t have it on the menu”. Well, if you don’t have it on the menu anymore, then remove it from your front page from Google Maps! Otherwise, this is a false advertisement to attract customers like me who came specifically for advertised scallops.

I would have to say that I have not eaten here yet, but I plan to. I met a friend who frequents this place for a quick drink and a catch up session. Thank you for not serving a whiskey drink in a martini glass! My old fashioned was served with a healthy cube of ice. I swirled and sipped and swirled, as it should be with a cocktail. We did not feel rushed - we were there early so not to take a table for dinner guests. Overall a great experience. Plenty of parking too.

If you are a part of more than 4 forget getting seated. They say if you call and leave your name someone will call you back to make a reservation BUT no reservations allowed until 5pm. It appears you need to know someone to get a booth. Food was good portion BUT service needs an attitude adjustment, our server did not even apologize for trouble with reservations. One waiter accused us of auctioning off our seats just because we told some folks we were leaving. Did not feel welcome. Space is small really a couples place.

We had the salmon and the NY steak. Everything was pretty good, but a bit undersalted. Same for the drinks. The grilled vegetables were good with chimichurri and some salt and pepper. If you find your food to be a bit bland, ask for their chimichurri and it'll spruce things up! we enjoyed out meals. The server was attentive and pleasant. The decor around the place is by a particular artist who has a really kooky style.. it's a good conversation point!Prices were reasonable considering the location. Portions were good too. We will be back.

Excellent food, wonderful service. Great selection of bourbons, my husband found a new favorite. Small, intimate dining with old fashion charm and high standards.....
