My daughter and her husband had their wedding ceremony at Island View and it not only was a beautiful ceremony, with the bay in... the background, but the service was excellent! Everyone bent over backwards to make the wedding special and a memorable event! Read more
Absolutely hands down the perfect venue for our wedding day. I couldn?t have dreamed up a more scenic location to celebrate our... love with family and friends. Jessica was wonderful and helpful every step of the way. She had recommendations for vendors andhelped the entire day from set up to break down. Her passion for what she does really shines through and would recommend for anybride to have their wedding at Island View! Read more
Simply beautiful venue and wonderful people to work with while planning your big day. Cannot say enough amazing things about it... and will forever be grateful we chose this spot :) Still waiting on the photographer pics which I am sure will be breathtaking.(The pics attached are from cell phone) Read more
This place is now open for events only, and is no longer open to the public. I had enjoyed the relaxed waterfront atmosphere... prior to the pandemic, so I returned, only to find the restaurant closed. This location is at the end of a road on a spit ofland surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay, so it's a destination rather than a drive past. The owners need to update their newstatus online instead of wasting people's time when they drive in to find it closed. Read more
A great place to celebrate a wedding. As a wedding photographer I always look for venues that offer great opportunities for... photos. This venue is great for couples looking for photos that are unique and different than the expected. Read more
Amazing views, chill vibe, friendly staff. Great place to relax with a drink on the deck after kayaking. Food is pretty good but... not the main attraction. Read more
My wife and I really did enjoy our lunch today. We had the mixed crab soup, coddies, and the Russian burger. The food taste... great and the service was fantastic! They did have craft beer. However, it would have been better if they served something fromthe closest brewery (Key Brewery). That being said, I cannot wait to be a repeat customer. I highly recommend this place if youlike a nice relaxing place on the waterfront. Read more
I can't even put in to words how grateful I am to Jess and her team. My husband and I got married here and the wedding could not... have been more perfect. Not only did the scenery and the quaint cafe make for amazing photos, but even a month later our guestsare still telling us how absolutely beautiful the venue was. What's most important though, is Jess and her team handledEVERYTHING. We didn't even taste test the food before we used their catering, and we were stunned at how good the food was (thebest wedding food we've both had). Their professionalism, experience, and friendliness made our day perfect. If I could getmarried again, I would pick this venue EVERY time without doubt. Thank YOU so much Jess! Read more
