The food was amazing as well as the owner and staff except for our server Kaitlyn R.. My grandmother had recommended this place for our dinner because she loved the Lobster roll. Apparently this used to be a special and was an off menu item. When we asked Kaitlyn about the Lobster roll she informed us that they do not have such a thing and do not carry any lobster. My grandmother asked if she would check with the chef to make sure of it and Kaitlyn copped an attitude and said “ I work here everyday we do not have lobster”. I insisted after that for her to just ask the owner to make sure. She yelled from our table to across the bar where he was standing and said “ we don’t have lobster , right?” And he said actually we do and I can accommodate that. She was rude the rest of the dining experience because she probably embarrassed on being wrong. My grandmother asked for more dressing my for her salad and that took 16 minutes for her to get. When trying to make small talk while she was making the bananas Foster she was short and seemed irritated. My grandmother is dying of cancer and the last thing she needs is someone being rude to her for no reason. The owner was great and attentive! My grandmother and her friends said after that experience they would not be returning because of how egotistical she was. I recommend we just order take out from now on since we love the food and the owners wife’s desserts. I was in the service industry for 10+ years and can’t wrap my head around why she couldn’t just go ask and made it a big deal since she works off tips and then was awful the rest ofOur dining experience. I would 100% return to this restaurant if she wasn’t my server.
This is the very best restaurant on any south Texas beach. Our favorite dish is the ring of fire roll. Tara’s sashimi is a close second. No matter what you order, you won’t go wrong. Make sure to make a reservation! Romeo is amazing & will make sure you have a solid wine to pair with what you’re eating!
Went to this establishment for my brother in laws birthday dinner. We had a party of 6 and upon arrival we were rudely ignored until we asked the hostess if she could seat us. She sits our large party on a small table near the bathroom which is absolutely rude and disgusting. It takes about 12-15 minutes until our drink orders are taken and another 10 before they’re served. All the while we have the absolute most rude server I have ever encountered. We order our appetizers which came out with a taste and texture like they were microwaved and after we order our overpriced food it takes about an hour and ten minutes until our entrees arrive. My steak was unacceptably disgusting for the price of almost 50 dollars. Needless to say, the experience was awful. I and hopefully plenty of others should and will be taking our business elsewhere.
First off this is not a “”bar” as they only offer beer and saki. The one bathroom in the small building was dirty and needed attention. I never tried the food because A middle aged man came to my table and removed our dinner menu and wine list. When I informed him that he could ask for his own menu from the hostess he informed me that he could “do whatever he wanted In His place”. I informed him that it was rude to remove items from my table without asking. To me he is a stranger. He became angry and told me that if I didn’t like it I could leave. My wife and I, who were waiting on the remainder of our party, got up to leave. This man followed us to the door yelling to someone to clean table #5! I don’t argue with unreasonable people (I think he was inebriated) so we quietly left as he made a huge scene. But of course, he can do whatever he wants in “his place”. I would stay clear of this establishment which is hidden in a small parking lot behind the Subway sandwich shop. There are friendlier places on the island which serve great food.
We were on vacation and asked the locals where do you get a great steak. They said Island Time and it didn't disappoint. One if not the best steaks I've ever ordered. Cooked just like I asked. If I lived her I would be a regular. Great job Island Time and great service. Also, I don't like seafood but I watched them make sushi and it looked fantastic.
I give it 3 stars. I think, mostly because our service sucked. We had to repeatedly ask to get even a knife, fork or napkin. I had asked for a water without ice. It never came and when I asked again I got a cup full of ice with little water on it. The waitress had no clue about the items on the menu and replied, well I just work here!? Em, doesn't that include knowing your menu? We had to asked her to please go and find out for us. The food though was pretty yummy. We loved the grilled Oysters and the brussel sprouts were really yummy too. Unfortunately my Sushi dish came way before everybody else got their meal. The hand rolls were small being a main dish for 17 dollars. I am used to big filled handrolls between 6-8 dollars a piece. These rolls were small and a bit to much "squeezed" what takes the crispness out of the seaweed on the outside. But the inside crispy salmon skin made up for it and the tuna was really fresh. Overall a great roll and an advanced preparation and presentation could make this a 5 star dish. Thank you
after reading some of the reviews we were skeptical about how the service was gonna be but asoon as we walked in we were greeted and sat immediately without a reservation, it was a very different environment than what we expected and we were sat in a awkward location but the service was good only complaints we have is the portion size and how the food came out cold and the sushi was room temperature not cold. we had to go stop to get food after we left because we were still hungry after, 45$ for only 3 items i would expect more presentation was good tho.
Always enjoyed the food at this place until last night when I had dinner there with my girlfriend. The boys rolling sushi behind bar were wearing the same gloves while touching everything else. One boy with his gloves on put his hair behind his ear, grabbed a dirty rag, and continued to roll sushi (all while with the same gloves). The service was extremely terrible from the moment I walked in. I called a week ahead, and made a reservation for 2 at the lounge. The hostess when I checked in tells me “we have you at the bar”. I corrected and told her what my reservation was made for, and she rudely sat me next to the bathroom with chairs so high and the coffee table so low and out of place. I asked to just sit at the bar, and her response was “you can just go sit wherever”. It took at least 20-25 min to get a drink, another 25-30 min just to put in an order for appetizers, and almost 45 min to receive our food. Aside from the terrible service, do not eat there. Staff needs to be instructed on universal precautions when handling food. Wearing the same gloves the entire night you are committing cross contamination and putting people’s health at very high risk. Customer service needs some serious adjustment. Millennials …
Delicious and fun. Love the chill atmosphere. You better set your expectations to a island TIME. That may mean dishes show up at different times or maybe not at all. But it’s cool. A good time and good food.
This place is amazing. Better be ready to chill because they are definitely on island time and deserve to be. The quality of food was spectacular. The experience is like a laid back lounge/club. While we are new to town I’m sure this will be our go to for sushi.
