“Came down to Coastal Wine & Tap for spring break. Must I say it was a delightful experience with amazing people & good personality’s. I felt like I was at home and everyone in there had the same experience! I will continue to recommend Coastal Wine & Tap to everyone who needs a bar recommendation!! Will be back soon!!”

“Nice place to enjoy wine and pasta! Their Italian wine selection is impressive!🍷”

“Excellent service but limited selection of food options. Great bar menu.

Vegetarian options: Ordered shrimp burger and shrimp was made into a patty.”

“I had my April 2024 wedding here and the experience is almost indescribable. I had this venue booked for more than a year, and as you can imagine, I had a lot of questions. I communicated with the manager, Marnie, more than 100 times via email and I ALWAYS received a quick response with my questions answered even with my events months down the line. The food and staff at this venue are amazing. My wedding went off without a hitch and all the compliments were on the food, friendly staff, and beautiful panoramic views of the beach. The food was great! We served the pecan chicken and a pasta station. The guests raved about the chicken and waffle slider appetizer as well. As soon as the dances were over and we sat at our sweetheart table we were immediately greeted with food from Marnie and a staff member. This goes to show their level of professionalism and attentiveness. The kids' food was also served first and that impressed parents. I was told this was the first wedding that occurred and they were thrilled. I only have wonderful things to say. You will not be let down with any event you host at the Isles. Thanks Marnie!! You guys are amazing. I need to find another event to throw just so I can come back!”

“Large event room with waterfall makes it the perfect event venue. The patio is perfect for wine tasting.”

“This is the best Jersey Mike's in our area. We LOVE the friendly staff and how quick they are. Food is always fresh, place is always very clean. We normally drive about an hour to get our subs from here bc the staff is so awesome!!!”

“Best smashed burger I’ve ever had!! I asked them to add an egg and they said absolutely! It was soooo delicious! Then I had to get chocolate croissants and apple fritters to go because they looked amazing! The service was fast and everyone was so nice. I will come back here every time I visit!”

“Best vibe in OIB! Great atmosphere, amazing staff, and amazing beer that keeps rotating so it's always fun and interesting. We can't recommend them enough!”

“The food was amazing but the server and food runner would have rather been anywhere but at work. The food runner was throwing food on the table like he was pissed off. The server never asked if we needed boxes or refills before bringing the check. Gratuity was already added, which was fine but servers should always inform their customers. We asked for a few more drinks and we actually got an eye roll. (Note this is after getting the check and after everyone only having (1) drink with no refill). Thankfully, the food far outweighed the service.”

“great food a must place tostop and eat. fast service and food was fresh not frozen”

“Best shrimp burger around! Super friendly stsff and got to see cute dogs!”

“The only place we could find that had more than a few gluten free options! We will definitely be back! 😊”

“our first visit here.. we moved here in april 2024 , we finally decided to get out and try a new place. we got a Double decker with fries and it was absolutely delicious we will definitely be back.”

“Honestly, a wonderful hub of activity for the local community. I often see many gather and hang out in the morning. And as I wait for my food I see that they often recognize their regulars and their typical orders. They are welcoming to all, and they have great coffee, pastries and not to mention their delicious breakfast sandwiches. They also carry local brands, such as Raw Salsa. It really feels like shopping Small and supporting our community. Looking forward to a pizza night sometime.”

“Best coffee around! Amazing staff and delicious flavors 10/10 recommend 😊”

“The BEST banana splits!! We make it a point to stop in at least once if not twice each year we are visiting the beach.”

“Everyone who comes into our little surf shop and gets her pastries, baked goods and cakes absolutely loves them! Darcy take great care of her customers!”

“l did a online order for a small all meat pizza. This was our first time eating from there. The food was ready when they said it would be! The pizza was good & will definitely eat from there again when I am back at OIB!”

“A very welcome addition to the island! I hated driving off island to find a good cup of coffee! (Years ago) Every year I hope Drift is still here. It is and the business is stronger than ever! *if you go around 10am-get the app and pre-order. The line is really long around 10am!”

“The location is conveniently located, and pickup is fast and super easy. We hit all the local "beachy" restaurants every vacation, but for several years, this Subway has been on our list of places we eat throughout our stay at OIB. My whole family has always been VERY satisfied with the service (we order on the app for pickup), the food has been good, & orders have been correct every time.”

“Looks like new management. Place looks much cleaner and the food is very good. We will eat there again.”

“Good ice cream! First time in a long time that I couldn’t get the one “huge” ice cream scoop under control before finishing it due to the weather! It was a good struggle but fun. Make sure you grab extra napkins! They don’t have a bathroom to wash your hands!”
