Carnegie Hill’s classic American bistro since 1986.
Island serves seasonal cooking inspired by flavors and traditions from around the world. From weekday lunch and weekend brunch through dinner, the polished yet approachable menu offers everything from delicate, made-to-order salads and the much-loved Island Burger to seasonal pastas and sophisticated daily fish specials. With carefully sourced ingredients and warm, familiar service, Island is a place for lunch with friends, drinks and dinner at the bar, or a family celebration.
Opened on Madison Avenue by brothers Jay and Kevin McLaughlin, Island has been part of neighborhood life for four decades. Today, Jay and his son Chris carry Island forward together, with Chris leading the restaurant’s day-to-day operation since 2017.
Island’s interior offers a welcome escape from New York City, with an easy yacht-club atmosphere inspired by the coasts of Bermuda and New England. A sea-glass bar, woven bistro chairs, a hand-painted mosaic behind the bar, and the McLaughlin family’s collection of waterside and nautical art complete the room.
