We were passing through Golden on a cross Canada trip and found The Island through Trip Advisor. The weather was warm so we decided to eat on the patio. The location was very scenic and the patio was a great choice. It happened to be Mexican special night so we ordered the fish tacos and the enchiladas. They were well... More

I was in Golden on business and discovered this restaurant online. They were able to accommodate me without a reservation but were still pleasantly busy. However, it was still early in the season so this might not always be the case so best to call for a reservation! I had the Salmon and the chef was kind enough to accommodate... More

Food was good here, they have items that are both vegetarian and gluten free. Patio is nice when it is warm and the service is quick and friendly.

We travel through Golden twice a year and always make a point of stopping by for either dinner, lunch or breakfast. Every time we have been greeted with a smile and the food has been great. I would recommend it to everyone that is passing through.

Very nice setting and decor. The service was friendly and I would recommend the Island Pizza and the Quesadillas with their homemade guacamole.

We have visited Kickinghorse Resort on numerous occasions but never made it to this restaurant. Travelling back from Western BC on Thanksgiving meant that all the fast food stops were full so we called in at The Island, and wow, great food at a reasonable price and a sense of relaxation. No more fast food on our Trans Canada trips... More

We recently took a trip to Golden BC, a quaint little town in the valley of the Rocky mountains and the Purcell mountains. We were looking for a special restaurant to have my mom's 70th birthday and we found the perfect place called The Island Restaurant located on Gould's Island in the middle of Golden. It has spectacular views and... More

I had read about this restaurant on Trip Advisor. I knew they had a Mexican night, so we waited until Monday to eat here. As Mexican goes, it was quite good for where we were at. Do not remember what we had, but we were not disappointed. The margarita special was very good. I would definately recommend this restaurant and... More

The food is good, the selection is wonderful, and the service was friendly. They have an awesome location, outside patio, and great views. It is, however, a little pricey, considering the other options available in the community. Still, a worthy place to have a nice meal with a great atmosphere.
