What Leann Leuschke dislikes about Down Island:
Terrible experience. Was lied to about the entire evening. Didn't honor Open Table reservation. Said they "don't have an iPad". Should be able taken off OT. I have never had an experience like this. Will never go again. Would avoid any all costs! View all feedback.
The waiting staff is amazing. they are so kind. only on the delicious cake..or dinner!
Bright, cozy room in the heart of oak bluffs. friendly and helpful waiting staff, creative dishes and scallops to die! the portions are large and they will certainly get the money worth.
Down island is in a strange cellar space that is openly depressed. eating is a kind of farm to table with an unusual focus on carrots.
The food was fantastic and the service was very attentive. However, the restaurant's setting is reminiscent of a cellar with concrete floors. Despite the delicious menu and skilled preparation, it may be difficult to revisit due to the unappealing atmosphere.
