I'm really sad I have to come back and udate my review. We visited Island again last Friday and had a pretty bad experience. The service was AWFUL. We went as a group of 6.... all ordered AYCE. We had to wait almost 40 minutes between our first order and our second. That's really unacceptable.
As far as we could see, there were only 2 guys actually making the sushi. On a Friday night at 6:30? That's crazy. And that would probably explain what the hold up was.
Our waitress wouldn't even come near us or make eye contact with us during that 40 minutes, while we were trying to get her attention to find out what was going on. When we finally flagged down a DIFFERENT server to ask what the problem was, he acted like he couldn't care less. "Yeah, we know we're having problems. You have 90 minutes, don't worry." Lame.
There were still some very yummy rolls, but worth waiting an hour and a half for? Not at all.
It was very disappointing.
