Awesome spot! Location is great and the place is beautiful. Breakfast - lunch - dinner all delicious! Service able to handle a big family for multiple meals and plenty of cocktails with no issues and owner was walking around making sure everything runs smoothly.

This Oceanside/poolside restaurant is super charming. But wait, the food is delicious! The Pechuga was super, the complimentary starter was also tasty. Cocktails were also yummy (espresso martini and Sangria). Live music on the weekends! This will be a return spot for us!

We dined at Casa Islena this evening. The food was amazing. The service was excellent. Gabriel was our server and he was fantastic, fast, helpful, and very nice. Pina coladas were superb. Churassco, pechuga rellena, and the chipotle Gouda burger were all delicious and full...of flavor! The flan for dessert flavorful and delicious! Ginger the cat so sweet and Morena the dog so adorable! We watched a beautiful sunset and the guys playing acoustic guitars and singing were wonderful! The ambiance and decor, servers, and other patrons, all made it a nice evening out We enjoyed and will be back for breakfast and lunch this week. Chris the owner was very nice and is running the Casa Islena very well. Thank you!More

Dog friendly.....Excelente food taste. French croissant toast amazing. The churrasco with eggs so much flavor. Dog friendly. Next to beach. Slow service is the reason for knocking one star. We were waiting at the entrance for a while no one came. Then i went inside...to see if someone could assist us. Then a young lady I was nearing walked right by me without asking if I needed anything.. Turns out she was the hostess. Also took a while for food to come out and the place was no so busy on a Sunday morning at 9. I saw another group wai for a while as well until the hostess came by to seat them. Other than that great food. I would recommend the brunch. I plan to go back but now prepared for the slight service delay, taste of brunch is worth it.More

Spot is great, food and service were just ok. Considering the spot they should offer more creative and tasty breakfast- it felt like a MC Donald’s breakfast taste wise. Service they forgot basic things utensils, stirrers, sugar - we had to keep asking for basics....Wait was long considering quality of breakfast.More

'Wonderful restaurant in many ways. The "amuse bouche" is simple yet to die for. The staff is professional, accomplished and individually unique. The menu is not huge but wide-ranged and each dish well-executed. ' Something for every one! And the senior bartender has crafted some...memorable cocktails. The setting is stunning. You will not be disappointed!More

We went here for a bite to eat, and some drinks… Everything was delicious. We had the Poké bowl, fried chicken sandwich with Asian coleslaw, jalapeños and cheese, and the short rib, grilled cheese sandwich…all were delicious. It was a nice chill vibe, with tables...around the pool, and some musicians in the ocean right now. Would definitely recommend eating and/or drinking here!More

Beautiful restaurant with lively, romantic atmosphere. Pool lights, tiki torches and ocean waves set a mood only improved by the live music. We were a group of six and the staff couldn’t be friendlier and more accommodating. Service was impeccable. The menu was simple (no...fuzz) and dishes were full of Puerto Rican flavor. The seared tuna was one of the best I’ve had ever.More

Beautiful setting and friendly, attentive staff. Live music made it extra special. The food was just okay. Tuna poke didn’t taste fresh (I couldn’t eat the tuna, and I am not a picky eater). It’s marked as vegetarian friendly but the options beyond salad were...very limited.More
