The Island – Seafood
The Island transports diners to the heart of the Caribbean, where the air is thick with the savory aroma of golden-fried griyo and the satisfying crunch of spiced malanga fritters. From the tender, slow-cooked richness of beef and goat taso to the delicate, flaky layers of traditional Haitian patties, each plate celebrates a heritage of bold flavors and soulful, sun-drenched hospitality.
