    I could literally touch them
    Tosha L.

    Love Island's, the Westchester location specifically! I do come here quite a bit and I always enjoy the food and atmosphere. Last night was quite different. Service was the best that it could be with our bartender who also doubled as the server (so this is NOT about him at all!) It's about the inconsiderate group of 6-8 ppl who thought that it was fine to stand in the walkway practically at our table for 30-40 mins. It was really whatever until they continued bump it several times. This was reported to the staff a few times and nothing. Bar was not packed. It was 8:30pm, restaurant was not unreasonably busy. Management should've intervened when they saw that the server couldn't get a hold of things. Instead of asking them to politely move over, we were asked to. Not cool.

    Very kid-friendly restaurant with really nice staff. For a burger place, the food felt surprisingly healthier -- we didn't feel super thirsty afterward like you sometimes do. They also give plenty of fresh vegetables, which made everything feel really refreshing. I really loved my chicken bowl, and the burgers were delicious too.

    Came here with a good friend and was fortunate enough to get CSA, or customer service all star Jordan. Islands menu is fairly simple and clear cut, so customer service here is always been what makes the place stand out to me. My friend and I both ordered the double stack burger, and had some amazing chicken tenders which was served to order in hot to lead things off. As usual, I went with a hot cup of coffee and he ordered a cherry coke. When coming to islands, you can reasonably expect the food to be decent, but ours was outstanding. Will definitely recommend this Islands,, and if you're lucky you'll get Jordan as a server.

    Perfect little late-night happy hour...especially if you're at Dave & Buster's. We popped in here after some arcade time at D&Bs, which is just steps away. Sometimes their restaurant gets packed or you just want a change of pace, and this place is a great alternative. It's still very family-friendly (likely because of the location) so they're used to groups with kids. We ordered a burger, grilled cheese for the kids, and a salad with a burger for my wife. The food isn't gourmet, but it hits the spot when you're looking for a quick, casual sit-down meal after some fun.

    Fries,  Well Done. Yes they are!!

    Wife wanted Fries. Let's go to Island. Hubby wants Happy Hour. Let's go to Islands. Memorial Day Monday, Islands here we go. Alex at the bar answered many questions, delivered many drinks and really shined. Our fries, ordered crispy were just what the Dr ordered. Hot crisp fresh. Cold beers, frozen margs and a passion fruit with lite syrup were very enjoyable and well timed. Did I mention super friendly. Tenders and sliders were also hot fresh and worth the wait. Everything was on point tonight. The bar was clean and staff was sweeping. Expectations met and exceeded tonight and the HH prices are appreciated.

    Edward was amazing! Just a great host! He is new at this but he could have fooled us! Just so sweet and attentive! Look for him and sit in His section! The restaurant is clean and super accessible from the parking structure! Get the margarita flight-it exceeded my expectations!

    As my grandchildren and I walked into the establishment, only seconds after opening for the day, other patrons were rude with how they blocked my way and view of my grandchildren as we crossed the street towards the entrance. The hostess noticed my discomfort and offered solace via a good meal! It was very kind of her to notice, every member of the staff who attended to our needs was supremely professional and accommodating. The clearing of the table and delivery of our meals was perfection, our server very attentive. My day became brighter indeed due to the disposition of the staff and a fully enjoyable meal.

    Shipwreck cocktail during HH all day Sunday
    Anna H.

    Happy hour all day Sunday! Drinks were about $6-7. I ordered one called Shipwreck- if you like sweet drinks order this one. It was rather weak. Maitai was stronger. Martini is even stronger without the sweetness. Nice atmosphere to hang out.

    I think from now on, I'll be getting take out from this location. This is the second time visiting that has been such a let down in terms of service. We got seated and it took our server about 5 minutes to greet us. The table that got sat a few minutes after us (with another server) had drinks down before our server even came up to us. We ordered our food and asked if our spinach dip could come out at the same time as our meal. We ended up getting the spinach dip before our meal and that delayed our food coming out. Our server came by our table twice after that. One time to check if we needed anything else and the second time to drop off the check. The place wasn't too crowd for lunch as a few sections were closed but it was a disappointment that service was lacking. Food was good as Islands always is. The manager brought out the food and the runners were on top of it as well. The place was clean and not too loud, great environment for families.

    As someone who grew up in San Diego, where Islands is based out of, I have had this restaurant countless times growing up. In high school we used to all go here often until Cheesecake Factory replaced it for us, but it also was a frequent stop during college and a lot of my 20s. It's very nostalgic to me and it had been years since I last had Islands but this past weekend we stopped in for lunch and I am happy to report that the flavors taste exactly the same. This location is attached to the Howard Hughes Center and parking is free for the first 90 minutes and then after that it starts to climb. However, you're able to park right next-door in the underground parking so it's not a far walk to the restaurant from your car. Inside of this restaurant is quite large and they have many different seating options and cozy tucked away booths. I love the design on the inside and really feels like a surf and island vibe. Our waitress was very polite and as usual everything that we ordered came out very fast. I will say that one of the downsides is the pricing is quite high for what you get. For a table of two it was about $75 for a cup of soup, two burgers, and two drinks. I think that is what has scared away a lot of people and forced a lot of their locations to close. I was happy to see that the menu had all the classics on it and a few more new ones. As always, I started with the Chicken Tortilla Soup because it's honestly delicious and one version that I really like. It's very hearty and has a lot of chicken in it. For my burger, I chose the Bluenami and added avocado and thought it was great. I usually do the Maui so I wanted to try something different. I'm glad that I ordered it. The fries weren't as good as I remember, but some things are just like that. We also tried their new strawberry cream soda, and I did like it. Wish they would do free refills of it though. Overall, I would recommend if you are looking for a place with great burgers and a lot of drink options in a casual atmosphere. Just know that the price can be a bit more than you're expecting but overall we had a really nice lunch.

The pickles and lettuce came on the side with some carrot sticks and ranch. No complaints here.

While my bartender was very kind a super cool, the food is now a HUGE disappointment. The large order used to have 4 large pieces of fish, now it's only 3 small pieces that are heavily breaded with some sort of chewy/gummy dough. The bread is super tiny and barely equivalent to a small slice of a tiny French baguette. The carrot cuts are also much smaller. Way to ruin a good thing. Save your money and drive out to Malibu Seafood to still get that authentic pub style fish taste. Come for a drink, but no the fish. It's not the same classic taste that used to make me drive miles for. Of course, I ate it because I was beyond starving and hate wasting food but today may forever be my last hooray as the fish is what drew me here. It was always cooked to perfection and taste, but alas those days are gone. New ownership? I don't know but pinching a penny should be worth losing folks over lesser quality food. I beg of you to fix it. They also provide suggested gratuity based on total WITH tax. Check your bills as you should only be tipping on food service.

At no point were we consuming alcohol. Despite this, the bartender accused my friend of drinking a Modelo beer, which was untrue. To clarify, it was early in the morning and we only had water with us before even entering the establishment.During those hours of the day there is not anywhere you can even purchase a Modelo. We do not even drink Modelos either which we thought was funny of even being accused of doing something like that. We even explained to him to check the camera footage again to see it was just a smart water he threw away. My friend briefly walked to the trash can to During our time there, we observed that we were the only customers of color present who were not being served, while the bartender continued to serve white customers. When we calmly asked the bartender about the situation and why we were not being served, he became defensive and refused to provide his name after we expressed concern that the treatment felt discriminatory. His response was that he did not feel comfortable giving his name after we raised the issue of racism. We really wanted to just check this place out because we thought it was funny how a bar opens so early. Yet, we left feeling upset over all this. Based on the circumstances, the experience felt unfair and discriminatory. We simply wanted to be treated with the same respect and service as other customers. I hope management reviews this situation seriously and ensures that all patrons are treated equally and respectfully in the future.
