The prime rib is definitely the star here. Got the Bull Shed cut - massive portion, cooked exactly as requested. It&#39;s their signature for a reason. A solid choice if you&#39;re looking for a reliable steak.

Restaurant in THE ISO HOTEL, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

The tacos here are huge, one is definitely a full meal. What I really noticed was how fresh everything tasted. The lettuce and tomatoes were crisp, and the meat seemed high quality. A bit heavy on the sour cream for my preference, but the ingredients themselves were spot on.

Solo dinner last night. The seared shrimp was spot on, and the blackened mahi mahi was cooked just right. Robbie&#39;s a good server, kept things moving without hovering. Solid meal.

Been coming here for years. The view over the pool and out to the ocean never gets old. It&#39;s just a really convenient, relaxing spot to grab a bite when I&#39;m staying at the resort. Always feels the same, in a good way.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s the little things that keep me coming back. Like last night, they noticed I had leftovers and actually taped my takeout box shut so it wouldn&#39;t spill on the drive home. That&#39;s the kind of care you don&#39;t see much anymore.

Been coming here for years. You can taste the quality in the ingredients, and that consistency is why I keep coming back.

The shaved ice was fantastic, but the real star was the view of the ocean while I enjoyed it. Their syrup paired really well with the vanilla ice cream in the middle.

Perfect quick lunch spot. The burger was juicy, and the ponzu sauce was a nice twist. Fries with furikake seasoning were solid. Got my order in under 10 minutes, which is key for a workday break.

The biscuit was the star for me - flaky, buttery, and still warm. Latte was solid. Just a heads up, they add a dine-in surcharge, which felt a bit steep for a quick bite. Probably better to grab it to go next time.

Small spot, mostly takeout. Grabbed a couple of their fish tacos and ate at one of the picnic tables outside. The fish was fresh and the slaw had a nice crunch. Simple, casual, and just right for the island.

The view is the star here. Had a cocktail at the bar and just watched the sunset over the water. It&rsquo;s a really nice, buzzy spot for a drink. The food was okay, but that view...

They brought out a little dessert for our anniversary, which was a nice touch. The chocolate mousse was super rich and creamy. We weren&#39;t expecting it at all.

Small shop, so there was a bit of a wait. But that Salt Pond gelato? Really unique. You can tell they put care into the flavors. Texture was spot on, not too sweet.

The garden tent is a lovely spot to have lunch. It&#39;s shaded and comfortable, and the servers were all very kind. I had the grilled salmon salad, and it was just right for a quiet afternoon.
