Founded in 1989 by brothers Jay and Kevin McLaughlin, Island is the Carnegie Hill neighborhood favorite restaurant for lunch with friends, drinks and dinner at the bar or a family dinner. Island has a wonderful staff that delivers first class, welcoming service and seasonal menus offering a variety of delicious food. Authenticity is paramount and we take pride in sourcing the finest local ingredients.
Island’s interior feels like a vacation from New York City – taking you to a yacht club atmosphere inspired by the coast of New England. This nautical sensibility comes together with a seaglass bar, French bistro chairs, a hand painted mosaic wall behind the bar as well as the McLaughlin’s art collection with scenes from the island and nautical scenes from the shores of New England to Bermuda.
