The Islander at Ocean Reef Club

Absolutely amazing sushi. I had the scallops and they were so delicious, I am licking my lips right now, just thinking about them.

This reataurant is also located on Ocena Reef Club so it’s for members and guest of OR. The place it’s no real big but have also outside seating. Keeping up with OR the décor it’s nautical related. We came with a big group of both adults and children. Since we made a reservation they were ready for us. The staff was friendly and efficient.
Eva was our waitress. She immediately took care of the kids drinks and food order. It gave the adults time to talk and study the menu. It was my first time there & I loved the opportunity.
The menu it’s not huge but have enough alternative. Obviously there’s plenty of fish hand shellfish choices, but the also offer some meat. Everyday the have a lemonade and a fish special. The restaurant also offers Bloody Mary and mojito bar.
Our group ordered a few appetizers to share; friend conch, shrimps, guacamole & edamame. Since I’m allergic to shellfish I only tried the guac and edamame but everyone loved the fried conch.
The clam and conch chowder also got great reviews.
For main dish I ordered the fish special; blackened yellow tail fish tacos. It was excellent! The fish was fresh and seasoned to perfection. The presentation and portion also was very good.
In general we had a great time with excellent service and good food. It’s pricey but after all you are inside Ocean Reef.

We ate at the Islander on the last night of our stay at the Ocean Reef Club. The only thing that disappointed me was that we didn’t eat here sooner. I would love to have eaten there more than once. The nautical atmosphere was relaxing and the service was superb. They have a good wine selection and the food is incredibly delicious. My all time favorite was the Melanie roll. Any sushi fan would consider this one of the best rolls ever!

Melanie’s Roll. Nuff said

I love this place. Probably the best place to eat in Ocean Reef. When you enter you will see a intimate little bar, make sure you grab a drink. They know how to pour. They also have a nice wine selection, but I recommend starting with a house bloody mary — they go great with the fish you are about to eat. The bar is so cozy and nice — don’t forget going for dinner.
The restaurant atmosphere is very simple, open and nautical themed. The service is beyond excellence. As you would expect, this is a fish place, and they have a very nice variety of hard to get fish. They also have a nice sushi bar at the end of the restaurant.
The food is simply prepared because the ingredients are so high quality. There is no reason to ruin a fish, that was just caught, with a ton of oil and butter.
They have a huge variety of fresh catch. Try something different. I highly recommend the Hog Snapper. They serve a nice sized piece of fish that can be shared. We had all our vegetables steamed.
The desserts are also very nice. Try the chocolate brownie.
A very enjoyable experience and will certainly be back soon.

Well… unless your a member, you will never taste the amazing shrimp & grits. The Tuna with couscous is really good too. Dessert; strawberry rhubarb crisp with pistachio ice cream. wow.
