    We had a delicious dinner at Island Kitchen - great value on the Prix Fix menu, but the full menu was also an option. It looks rougher from the outside than it is inside…inside, it’s quite lovely.

    Went for Valentines weekend. Dinner was magnificent surf and turf (filet and 2 shrimp) served with creamy cheesy mash potatoes and asparagus was out of this world! Real romantic setting fir special occasions. We stayed next door at the Pelgam Resort which was an added treat. Gorgeous rooms overlooking the Sound. Once in a lifetime occasion.

    One of our favorite island restaurants. Always guaranteed to get a great meal. The food always tastes delicious. Perfectly seasoned with great flavors. Never bland. Service always great from the hostess to the servers to the bussers.
