wonderfulatmosphere& experience. how can you not like this place authentic food or not? the outside of the run-down strip mall in no way prepares you for the look and feel inside. you will walk into a small restaurant with very soft pleasant jamacian music playing. bamboo, palms and wood decorate the bar and key areas creating an island feel. the colors are warm sage and muted terracota. it's relaxing just sitting there. add a hammock and i'm snoozing for a bit with their peach passion island tea.

the servers are on island time. that means slow, relaxed and no worries. they are in no hurry to bring you your menu, drink or table setting. when they speak, it's with a jamacian accent. i will admit their initial demeanor is a put off, but just talk to them. they start laughing and opening up. i started questioning how they made their tea and she went off adding to the experience. two new customers arrived also using jamacian accents. they conversed laughed and talked with the server. we started talking across tables and comparing notes of what to eat.

i picked this spot to try their jerk burger. it was nothing special, but it did make my nose run. my neighbor had curry muton and said it was good.

i will be back. i was so relaxed after leaving. the food can be whatever it wants if i walk out relaxed and laughing with future visits. should other dishes be very good, this will become a favorite.

great food / greatatmosphere/ great staff. my wife and i wanted to try something new so after reviewing urbanspoon, we decided to go to "the island spot"; we were impressed to say the least. theatmospherewas very open and clean, the wait staff was extremely knowledgeable about the item on the menu and the food was delicious. the portions sizes were huge and the pineapple soda was refreshing. the head chef "charis" stopped by our table and you could tell she has a passion for the food she cook's. you must try the jerk chicken, beef patties, & ox tails

scoop. my wife and i were looking for the perfect place to try something different from the usual restaurants that we always attend on a night out.
we were referred to the island spot by way of some friends, and decided to give it a try.
first off, theatmospherewas very relaxing, laid back, the staff was very friendly and service was great.
second, if you have never had the pleasure of tasting some authentic carribean jerk chicken you are doing yourself a huge injustice.
third, the oxtails are the best i've ever tasted and i consider my grandma a pretty good cook.
last, don't cheat your taste buds...take a friend or loved one and check out the island spot...you won't be sorry!!!
