I held my husband's 50th birthday party here about 2 weeks ago and have to say we're still raving about it. Everything was on POINT! The food, the drinks, the music, to the ambience and energy - It Was Everything! From the owner (Paul), to the staff and the security - it was all hands on deck to ensure we had an amazing celebration and experience. We did and so did our guests! Much gratitude! If you're looking for an exceptional event space - I highly recommend Islands Lounge.
Prior to this, I'd dined there a few times and was never disappointed. The food is delicious and service, always exceptional. My favorite is the steamed fish with okra and food (if you're a yardie, you know what I mean when I say food). My daughter loves the stewed chicken. Now, I understand that my definition of exceptional may be different from others. Folks, we're still in a pandemic environment - it's important to lead with understanding, patience and kindness .
It's not often you find a black owned (Caribbean/African) - non European or Asian restaurant make it in the DMV area - or most places for that matter. Let's not sleep on Islands Lounge. I'll continue to support this place over other restaurants that would charge 20% gratuity before you even sit down to dine! I will continue to support Islands Lounge over any restaurant that does not value me or my culture.
