Isle of Us — Restaurant in New York

I wish I could accurately rate this establishment based on more than the “service” I received. I came in after 2pm on a Monday afternoon. There was one delivery app person waiting for an order. Three women were working in the service area. One was stocking or inspecting shelves, one was working on food orders behind the counter, and one was bussing dishes. Not one of them acknowledged my presence or spoke to me. I expected some attention from the woman behind the register. I could see she was busy handling orders and answering the phone, so I waited patiently while reading the menu and examining products around me. But she didn’t even greet me or inform me that she would tend to me as soon as she could. At one point, the woman stocking shelves near me walked over to the register to whisper something to the woman behind the register. It was apparently funny because the woman behind the register laughed and resumed what she was doing. I was still standing there, patiently waiting. But after witnessing this exchange and still no acknowledgment that I was a breathing customer, I got fed up, muttered “F this” and left. I would like to point out that these were 3 white women and I am a person of color. I will never return to give them a shot, because I was curious to try the food, and will tell anyone who asks not to bother...

Very impressed by this place. From the vibe to service to food. Connected to a spa and menu shows. The two sides of the place are very nicely curated and designed. All the food has a healthy twist, even if you are indulging.

I got the chocolate chip cookie and salmon bowl.

I always appreciate a cookie that has melty chocolate when at room temperature. Not super huge or sweet which is actually refreshing.

The salmon bowl was amazing. Freshest bowl I’ve had in a long long time. All ingredients tasted great and came together well. Balanced and healthy. Lots of textures and colors. Things you don’t see anywhere else. I kicked it up a notch with their hot sauce which was amazing.

I was told everything is made in house and to order. Key to freshness. Staff also...

Amazing brunch cafe in the heart of the Upper East Side! The House Roasted Turkey sandwich was incredible — the focaccia, orange-miso aioli, savory turkey and fresh veggies/herbs were delightful. It’s my new favorite sandwich in Manhattan. My wife loved her Eggs & Hash burrito with fresh tomatillo salsa. The strawberry basil lemonade was a great complement to the meal. We topped it all off with a chocolate babka and olive oil cake, both of which I’d highly recommend if you’re even slightly into either of those flavors. You truly can’t go wrong here. Every menu item is unique, delicious, and filling without leaving you feeling gross. It’s a cute cafe with fast and friendly service. Highly recommend whether it’s a grab-and-go or a brunch...
