    Amazing food! The Cacio e Pepe orzo with shrimp and broccoli was our favorite. Bolognese was delicious as well!

    The food is fabulous. The inside of the restaurant is loud when full. The porch is the place to eat. The wait staff could not have been better. This is a restaurant you would want to go to when on the island...

    The restaurant showed they were open. Open Table made a reservation for us. We were dropped off by an Uber. It was closed.

    Hi Curt, We are sincerely sorry that you could not join us on Wednesday. Unfortunately we were impacted by the power outage from Back St at 5:00PM just before our dinner service was set to begin, and it was not restored until after 730PM. Given this, we posted a closing for the restaurant for Wednesday night and called every party booked 2x to inform them we would unfortunately have to be closed for dinner. We are very sorry this message was not received and that you made the trip out. We would welcome the opportunity to have you join us for dinner another evening Tuesday-Saturday, or for breakfast any day. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will give us another opportunity. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions or concerns. ~Anna Murphy

    Had the spicy Cobb salad, 3 chicken tenders swimming in hot sauce, and the salad had about 8oz of ranch dressing on it, I wanted to send it back but did not want to offend my family that was paying.

    Always a great meal no matter which one you choose to have at IK. We had dinner and sat outside with windows still shut, so plenty warm. The tuna poke bowl was wonderful and they were very willing to serve sauce on the side for less spicy meal. Service is fantastically friendly. Love this place!

    Nice atmosphere and a delicious meal with courteous friendly staff and a varied menu to suit all tastes and a fun cocktails menu created for the holiday weekend. Occasional gaps in service as restaurant was busy and a few mixups with order, but otherwise everything was wonderful. Highly recommend!
