What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"We had been meaning to try this spot for a while and like that it a quiet respite in midtown. The high ceiling gives the restaurant a very airy quality. There is something for everyone on the menu I think whether vegetarian or not, drinking cocktails/beer/wine or coffee and tea, and a mix of food options from salads to sandwiches to pasta. I like some of the Australian touches like half the wines are from Australia, options Tim Tam add-on, and kangaroo skewers but the restaurant was out of kangaroo when we went. While a lot of places in midtown try to move you quickly, service here is slower and possibly nicer for catching up with friends. Food is ok. We ordered our steak frites medium rare and it came practically well done. The OG burger had bacon that was so hard we had to leave bits of it on the plate and saw others left it too. I would probably try this place for brunch and hope the food is cooked a little better and not out of things."
"We had brunch here over the weekend and were very satisfied with the entire experience. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, the hostess efficiently found us a table. Our server—a very cool guy from New Zealand—deserves a shout-out. The vibe was great and the dishes were excellent. We shared the kimchi scramble and the pork hash. My girlfriend preferred the pork hash, while I loved the kimchi scramble—it was bursting with flavor. Portions are generous, so you probably don’t need dessert, but we couldn’t resist. We ordered the strawberry apple waffle and didn’t regret it at all—it was outstanding. Highly recommend this spot, and we can’t wait for the Brooklyn location to open."
"Update: We decided to return to try more of the menu. Unfortunately, our second visit wasn’t as successful as the first. The breakfast burrito was enjoyable, but the fried chicken sandwich fell short—the bun was dry. I wish the pudding came with more sauce. Really generous portions for a reasonable price. The cheesecake waffle was perfectly mild, with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything was just amazing—definitely worth trying!"
"The food, cocktails and friendly service were great. We came in for a late lunch, to try their expresso martini flights and their Australian food. Everything was delicious. It happened to be Happy Hour from 3-6 so we ordered some appetizers to share along with unique martini flights. So good!"
"The espresso martini tower was great, and so was the kangaroo and truffle fries. I was disappointed by the bread on the avocado toast and all the dishes felt like they needed some salt. Service was really lacking when we went. We weren’t greeted for a while and it took forever to get our drinks (plain coffee, soda, water). Apps came out at the same time as the meal. I’d love to try this place again for dinner or when they’re better staffed."
"I looooove isla and co. It has genuinely become one of my favorite brunch spots in Williamsburg. Not just because of the amazing and cheerful service but..."
