Kirkland​のホッとする料理が食べられるお店

This was our first visit since Arleanna's rebranded as Island Soul. We both enjoyed our dinners ( Fried catfish with collard greens and Curried goat with rice & beans, and a side of the coconut corn muffins). The menu is very much as it was before. Similarly, the staff are friendly & welcoming, as always.

The food, service and enjoyment were at the highest level. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

We went on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious, we liked everything we ordered. Even the frite dipping sauce was amazing. Service was friendly and prompt. We ended up not sitting outside, but if you do, it seemed pretty chilly out there.

The food, service and ambience were fine. Being a John Howie restaurant, we weren’t surprised by the high prices. Two cocktails, two starters, two steaks with no sides, and two glasses of wine were almost $300. We were surprised, however, at the 20% service charge on the bill that goes entirely to John Howie. Their explanation was that they pay their staff well and give them benefits. There was a typical place for a tip on the check. Had we added a typical 20% tip, we would have paid over $100 in add-ons plus $35 tax which included tax on the service charge. This certainly put a damper on our enthusiasm for this restaurant. $400+ for the above listed food is certainly not worth it.

Food was comfort food with a twist. The fried chicken was amazing,as were the sides.
