| - I always feel like I'm entering a car dealership when a restaurant sells fast food as 'fine dining'...but I was interested in trying this place out.
Yes, it's a chain. After an afternoon of shopping with my artsy neighbor, we were game for some good grub, and she recommended the place, so off we went.
I'll admit to being a mite disappointed at the lack of creativity in the menu. It's like Applebee's with a lei.
We shared an order of Beachside Sliders and Cheddar Fries. The sliders were okay, the best part were the crispy red onion strings. There was more bread than meat. The cheddar fries were dry. I took some pork soft tacos home also, and personally, I think they were better than the sliders.
The best part of being at the restaurant had to be our server, Fernando. He was just AwEsOmE! He kept us hydrated constantly, recommended that next time we get chili on top of the cheddar fries, and even ran, yes RAN to get club soda when my neighbor accidentally got a drop of ketchup on her purse.
Islands should be proud to have Fernando as a server.
If it was just on service, I would give it a five. But due to the lack of items that called to me (2 different desserts, are you kidding me? Just because you give it an 'islandy' sound doesn't make it so), and the items that we did order not being so yummy, I have to lay off a couple of the stars.
Yay to Fernando, boo to boring menu.
