The Islander - Mercer Island

I appreciate all the efforts to improve and the work is paying off. The prime rib dip is so amazing.

It was my first time there last night and I was shocked of how bad the food was. The food tasted like dog food and I could not finish it. On a Saturday night you would expect a busier crowd, even now with covid, but it was very quiet and empty. I won't be going back there.

Many of my neighbors consider this to be the best restaurant, but after visiting once, I have no idea why.

I absolutely love this place! It's one of the few restaurants I've visited indoors since they reopened during the COVID-19 pandemic. I usually sit at the back bar, especially for their fantastic happy hour specials. The menu has been updated over the past few months, and the tacos are delicious. The tables are well-spaced for safety, and guests have been responsible about wearing masks.

I've been here twice recently, and both times, Julissa was my server. She was really friendly, and the music was fantastic. This place is a great addition to the island!
