Islands Restaurant

How did we end up at Islands? "I want a cold beer and a good burger"...and in this case this past weekend that seemingly simple problem was solved by Islands.
I must say I am a fan of their Yaki tacos and Greek salad as well!
The service here has always been good, the younger staff doesn't come off immature or childish, the food is consistently good...and the beer is always super cold.

I enjoy this place because of the surfer/cool guy atmosphere.  They play big wave videos and stuff like that while you're sitting there eating.  Its just enough to entertain you without distracting you completely.  

The food is better than your average bar and the fries are never ending (for free).  I really enjoy this place.  The Yaki tacos are Amazing.  The strawberry lemonade is delicious.  I also get the jalapeño burger quite often.

As soon as i could get over the SMELL of the place. ((dirty beer bar mats)) i got to try the worst fish tacos EVER!!. they tasted freezer burned then warmed up in a microwave for a min or so. Service sucked. We seen our waiter to take our order and give us the check. Any other help was from random staff members. Its to bad though since this is the only real restaurant for awhile on melrose.  Our search continues though. we will not be back.
