    Great food, with great tastes. Celebrated the New Year with my family dining here. Highly recommend it. The apps, entrees and desserts were amazing.

    Great experience but was surprised with a sudden prix fixe menu that was not communicated prior by Opentable or the restaurant. Food was outstanding (highly recommend the Lobster & Short Rib) but would've appreciated a heads up.

    Enjoyable 4 course tasting menu for NYE 2024. Only complaint was spacing and timing of food. Often part of our table was eating while others were waiting. The portions were bigger than expected and the cocktails were delicious! Glad we chose Naisla for our family of 5 for last meal of 2024

    We have been here many times on previous trips and were so excited to come again. We spent 1 1/2 hrs for our food and our server did not check in with us often waiting for drinks. He made the excuse that it was the busiest night they have ever had but we have been there during busier times. We were just disappointed not having the experience as previous visits.

    The proteins are done exceptionally well. The flavors are on point and I look forward to trying more dishes.

    They didn't honor my OpenTable reservation for a table. I don't think this place is the best value.

    Wasn’t terribly hungry upon the stress of my travel day, but the server hooked me up with two small plates of things he thought I’d like. One was a salad, that was so ridiculously decadent I can’t quite explain it, and the other was buttered scallops laid upon two little potato pillows. It was delicious and just the right amount of food. I’d definitely return if I wasn’t so keen on trying all the other things that keep catching my eye on this island. Treat yourself, come enjoy a meal with friends, loved ones, or even by yourself, like I did.
