Have I not review Island Style yet? Finding this gem and meeting the owner was definitely one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Vegas. The owner, Russel, was closing shop early that day due to a catering gig. We were super lucky to find the place and get there in time to relax and hide from the midsummer heat. On that particular day in Vegas, it was over 110degrees outside and we didnt have AC in our car. All of our sodas and bottled waters were on the house. He fed us like kings, suggested what he thought we would like and then cooked us even more food for free. The whole time he laughed with us and tried to get us to interact with the only other family in the restaurant. He was absolutely the sweetest. Russel took the orders, made all of the food himself., entertained us and prepared for his catering job all at the same time.
When he flipped the sign on the door to close, a man (he explained an annoying regular) came in sometime after and tried to make him feeling guilt for closing early. The terrible man kept nagging, "Why don't you want to feed my wife?" Russel fnally yelled at him and kicked him out. It was great. I wish all restaurant owners and workers were able to deal with horrible and demanding customers in such a way.
We can't wait to go back! Russels spot is a Vegas staple!
