We got seated and there was a slight language barrier. They brought chips and salsa to the table as well as a seafood soup. I ordered the coconut shrimp. The size was nice but it was over cooked and needed the sauce. The food was okay but for the price I expected more. The view was nice but not spectacular. At the end of the meal we had to call the waiter to bring us a check to which the manager came over to check us out and informed us the standard tip amount. Can check this off my been there done that list.

She was walking us a little towards the back, but since it was my first time to Isla, I wanted to people-watch, so I asked about a table up front. As soon as we headed over, I saw why she passed it - it was right next to the saxophone player! Thank goodness his volume level was perfect! Just loud enough to be heard over the crowds walking down the 'lane' out front and the restaurant diners' chatting. But not so loud that we 3 couldn't chat. We loved it! Now these two can EAT - and love to try everything on the menu, whereas I tend to eat smaller portions. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were fantastic - huge pieces of shrimp, so good! The lobster mac n cheese is so good, I would have loved to bring a big container of it home with me! The restaurant is very busy but very clean and tables are well organized for maneuvering a quick trip to the restroom before leaving. Our server, Maylen was attentive and pleasant. The bar area, facing the street, looked like a lot of fun, I'll have to try it next time!

The staff seemed friendly, but when it comes to pricing, you really need to be careful. We ordered coconut shrimp and ceviche as appetizers, and the server suggested a "special ceviche" that ended up costing 1,245 pesos. He also recommended larger shrimp, which came out to 1,020 pesos. We ordered snow crab as well, but it was severely overcooked and dry. We barely touched it, yet the restaurant refused to remove it from the bill. For two adults and four kids, our total came to 11,135 pesos. Be sure to ask for prices before placing your order.

Our waiter was relatable and made us feel as though we were the only people there. The view is directly on the beach with singing birds and a view of their inviting marina dock.
