    We came here for dinner last night at about 6ish, it wasn't too busy yet. We were seated immediately and our server, Jacob came right after to introduce himself. He was very friendly, attentive and patient as he came back a couple times to get our complete order between 5 of us. I wanted to try something new so I ordered the veggie and brown rice bowl with the grilled fish and teriyaki sauce.

    We got a couple appetizers, the spinach and artichoke dip was amazing as well as the nachos. But, whomever made my mangorita is the real MVP, delicious and refreshing and very tasty! Our food came shortly after and I instantly didn't like the fish. When Jacob came back, I apologized profusely and asked if I could switch to the chicken. He didn't give me any issues and even the manager had stopped by to chat and check in in regards to the order and to assure me that they were remaking it, no problem at all.

    Had I known that it was swordfish (not listed on the menu, but I should have asked) I would not have ordered it. I feel bad returning it, but super impressed that their customer service was totally on point. My family and I all agreed that this is the one restaurant that no matter the location, has the best service hands down!

    Very limited menu: burgers, bar bites, couple salads and sandwiches.
    Mediocre bacon chicken wrap-- dry, very little chicken overwhelmed by smoky bacon. Gave up after half. Fries were crispy and hot.
    Teriyaki chicken just ok, sauce overly spiced. Bun fresh though.
    Drinks way overpriced at $9 for wine and cocktails, beer $7-9!
    $40, no alcohol. Definitely would not return.

    Everything is salty and savory and delicious. This isn't health food but, Islands is a familiar stomping ground for my family and we're always satisfied when we leave. Always start with the onion rings. They're golden, they're crispy, the onions are slightly sweet, and are matched perfectly with their ranch.

    Some of my favorite go-to items are the Toucan sandwich (grilled teriyaki chicken with sliced pineapple) and either the Island Steak or the Northshore tacos. It really just depends how big your appetite is. For a moderate meal, the tacos are perfect but, if you're ravenous and want to stuff yourself into an uncomfortable food-baby stupor, their burgers and chicken sandwiches are definitely more suitable.

    I visit my daughter and her family in Temecula and saw Islands Restaurant driving by the mall.  I had a hammer for lunch which was very good. I like the decor inside, it had a tropical theme. There were TV's showing different spirts such as surfing, bike racing etc. the service was pretty good, I will go back.
