    Restaurant was out of first 3 bottles of wine that we tried to order. We ended up purchasing one that was not on the list that was good. Service was good but it was apparent that the restaurant was understaffed. The food was so so.

    The jerk chicken and sweet plantains are extraordinary, and I lived in South Florida for over a decade.. Island Soul is an outstanding local option for Carribiean food.

    This is the second time I've eaten brunch at Island Soul. The food is hot (warm and a little spicy), well flavored, and served exactly as described. The shrimp and/or catfish and grits are excellent as is the hurricane. Keep up the great work Island Soul!

    We absolutely loved Island Soul! The service was fantastic- our waitress was so nice and gave great recommendations. We ordered the jerk chicken with plantains which were to die for! I’ll definitely be back.

    This was our first visit since Arleanna's rebranded as Island Soul. We both enjoyed our dinners ( Fried catfish with collard greens and Curried goat with rice & beans, and a side of the coconut corn muffins). The menu is very much as it was before. Similarly, the staff are friendly & welcoming, as always.
