Islands

Fountain Valley, CA


Summary
Would we go there again: Maybe, but probably not (see comments)

I went to this place when I was in California for business, so Jeni didn't come with me. But I figured if I'm going to have to be in the nasty LA megaplex, I may as well get a restaurant review out of it.

Comments & Ratings
Tim's Comments: This place reminded me a little bit of Red Robin, but the fish tacos I ordered just really didn't taste all that good to me. Not nasty or anything, just really not my cup of tea. Perhaps their burgers are better, but I was sorely unimpressed with my dish.
