Duck Confit
My fiancé and I had a lovely dinner here last night. This is a jewel hidden amongst all the many seafood restaurants. We believe the chef is French trained and possibly of Italian descent. We started with escargot served in puff pastry with garlic butter-which paired perfectly with the Pinot noir we were sipping. Next grilled andouille sausage with course ground mustard. I had duck confit, so tender, no knife needed. Prepared in the classic French tradition with a scrumptious brown sauce. My duck was complimented with potatoes Au gratin. These are not your mother's cheesy potatoes. Each slice of potato was carefully layered with cheese with just the right amount of crispiness atop. My veggies were steamed broccoli and cauliflower garnished with collard greens. I typically stay away from steamed vegetable medleys. As they are usually bland mush. Not these, soft yet crisp, flavorful and collards cooked perfectly. This is quite a compliment as I am from South Georgia and take a tremendous amount of pride in my collards. My fiancé had braised short ribs served Ragu style with homemade fettuccine. Now the dessert: homemade hot bread pudding served with bourbon sauce, absolutely decadent with warm spices and pecans. I have never had better even in New Orleans. Do yourself a favor and try this hidden gem. You will not regret the choice, I promise!
Grouper Piccata
This dish was great. The fish was cooked perfectly--moist with nice flaking. The sauce of lemon, butter and capers was tart and delicious. And the thing is we got it carry-out and ate it 10 mins later--still wonderful. Do not visit without getting the potatoes au gratin and the sourdough dinner rolls, both are excellent!
Shrimp Scampi Over Linguine
Excellent! Shrimp done correctly (JUST done), pasta perfectly al dente, sauce light, classic. Great meal!
Baked Oysters Rockefeller

Crab Bisque
Probably the best in Florida could be the best in the world
Slow Roasted Pork Shank
Amazing, absolutely amazing! The salad was also delicious, as was the bread pudding! The service was stellar!
Duck Confit
I know, I should be having fish, clams or the oysters...BUT this duck is so good, I can't resist. It falls off the bone, loaded with flavor--very, very good.
Broiled Garlic Oysters
Haven't had such incredible oysters since visiting New Orleans! Everything at Island Room is truly delicious!
Grouper Piccata
My favorite dish. It's one of the all time favorites.
