We enjoyed the vegetarian flatbread with Alfredo sauce, cheese, mushrooms, onions, peppers, roasted tomatoes and olives — all baked on a thin, crispy crust. Be prepared for all the cheesy goodness as the “cheese pull quotient” is quite high. Share a flatbread as an appetizer, or dine on one as a meal.
Salads are made to impress, and include the Southern Cobb with fried chicken; the Island Run Down (coconut shrimp, grilled pineapple and pecan halves); the chef; and a new Jackpot! favorite, the seared salmonGreek.Listentothis:Greenstopped with feta cheese, olives, pepperoncinis, red onions, pickled onions and cucumbers tossed in the house-made Greek dressing.

Daily specials include the Philly cheese steak on Tuesdays, crispy soft shell po’ boy on Friday, fresh-catch sandwich on Saturday and the salmon burger on Wednesday.

Pie and Chocolate Frenzy, a definite sweet treat. The most popular flavor, according to Brian Williams, Island View beverage manager, is the Bushwacker, made
