Robert Ryan, 69. I'm semi retired after working in the restaurant bizz for 20 some odd years. My husband and I share an apartment in the Village with two dogs and a cat. We love to travel, and we try to get to Europe at least once a year. Our dream is to retire someday in the south of France and open a small restaurant w/ American regional food.

    Great Place

    I've loved this Chelsea staple from the day it first opened 20 years ago! The food is great, the service is always friendly and prompt, and the overall ambience is sleek and modern w/o being cold.Whether you're visiting New York for the first time or you're a Chelsea native this is the place you want to go.

    Hot N' Tasty

    This place is great if hot boys taking off their clothes is your thing. The staff is friendly(disproving that Canadian boys are frozen fruits), the drinks are strong, and oh yeah have I mentioned the really hot boys taking off their clothes? So what if I have it bears repeating!

    A nice bar with an unfortunate crowd of hustlers who are both subtle and blatant in their approach. While I realize that a boy has to make a living somehow, they should stick to grinder and leave this otherwise pleasant piano bar alone!

The staff is very friendly and welcoming..the rooms are nicely furnished and oh so comfortable,and best of all you are surrounded by happy naked gay men. I recently learned that it is for sale because the co-owner recently lost his partner of twenty six years and at 70 he wants to retire. I hope that the new owners keep up the high standards of the current owner.. Here's to you Island House & I hope you last another 26 years!
