Dinner and drinks with a view! Hotel Hendricks has it all – with the new and improved Isla & Co and Daintree Rooftop bar, it is an obvious NYC hot spot.

Isla at Hotel Hendricks in Midtown has morphed into Isla & Co, which has begun to expand to many different locations in the U.S. The restaurant includes spectacular food, coffee and a wide variety of alcohol as well.

Isla & Co first opened in Williamsburg this past spring, and with its beaming success, this made it clear there was a demand for Australian style all-day brassiere. Owners Barry Dry and Tom Rowse decided to expand the restaurant to a new location in Fairfield, Connecticut, and are also planning to open locations in West Palm Beach, South Beach, Dallas and Atlanta this year.

The upgraded version of the restaurant at Hotel Hendricks will definitely leave your stomachs full. Executive chef David Taylor has had top-notch experience at several restaurant and hotel kitchens in San Francisco, New Orleans, Prague and Tokyo. Taylor has paved the way for the cuisine at Isla and will do the same for Isla & Co’s location at Hotel Hendricks. With two decades of international culinary experience, his goal is to showcase innovative versions of brasserie classics through a unique lens.
