Islands Restaurant

Really great, friendly service considering my group only ordered two burgers, a milkshake, and a plate of fries between the seven of us.

Yep, Islands today was as good as it gets! My husband and I went for din with baby in tow. We arrived around 6pm. I was expecting it to be packed and to wait for a table. Surprisingly, not packed and no wait! We were immediately seated. Our server took us to the very back of the restaurant, near the restrooms. At first, I thought we were seated in the back because we had the baby in the stroller, which would cause a traffic jam in their narrow walkways. But he seated other folks around us (without a baby) so I think he just sat us in his area. Anyways, it did not matter to me and sitting in the back, away from the crowd, ended up to be a good thing. It was quiet and we had a great view of Colorado. My husband took a nice photo of our view from our table.

I ordered my usual: Moa Kai, their tuna sandwich...or burger? Comes with cheese, mayo, pickles, lettuce, and tomato. Calories on this sucker is high so I asked for no mayo but then I asked that they put avocado slices on it. Ha! So much for trying to bring down the fat/calorie count. Per the usual, I was not disappointed with my meal. The french fries were hot, just the right salty, and crispy. The perfect side to the Moa Kai. The meal would have been epic if I had ordered a Roy Rogers AND cheddar cheese fries. One thing I made a note of to myself: next time, ask that they go easy on the tuna. It was a lot. I love tuna but will get grossed out if there is too much. This one had too much. I had to scrape the excess off with my fork.

My husband, the healthy guy, ordered a turkey burger. I didn't taste his or even ask how he liked his burger (oops, I forgot my manners here!). But I didn't hear any complaints from him. He ordered an alcoholic Irish shake that didn't taste good. I took a sip and gagged...bad! It was so strong of alcohol. He didn't like it, either. Definitely, not something he would order again. Waste of money and calories!

We had a pleasant experience today. I wish I got the name of our server. Really nice guy. Attentive but not overly intrusive. Checked in on us about 3-4 times during our whole meal. Never felt like we were ignored or kept waiting. Thank you, Islands, for a lovely meal!

Good food and service. Noting extraordinary. But predictably good. Their endless fries is a pretty good deal and service is decent.
