Has anyone checked out The Islands?

I heard they are friends with flowsoamazing... among others.

Whoops! wrong forum. heh heh

I thought this "undiscovered gem" business was pure hype, but now that I've tried it, I can say it's the best I've had on Washington Ave. (the others I've tried being 3D's Place and Cafe Shane). I paid $16 for a peppery chicken curry with vegetables and plantains, cod-flavored roti (bread), homemade lemonade and a giant piece of rum-soaked bread pudding. This was far too much food for one person, and I ended up taking home nearly the whole bread pudding.

The tiny upstairs dining loft, with its 6-foot ceilings, wood floors and islands decor, has a look that I can only describe as "voodoo treehouse." To get there, you have to climb a metal service ladder, which is a bit frightening--if you don't hit your head on the way up, you might slip and fall on the way down.

I was thinking about *why* the food is so good here, and I think it's mostly the spices. They're used/mixed to absolute perfection, and the food is neither undercooked or overcooked. Man, I'm getting hungry talking about it.
