About us

Islas on the Square

Our story

We believe you shouldn’t have to drive four hours to taste the salt air. Located in the heart of Downtown Spartanburg, Isla’s on the Square was born from a simple desire: to bring a true coastal dining experience to the Upstate.

We aren't just a restaurant; we are a getaway. From our rotating selection of fresh-shucked oysters to our inventive, handcrafted cocktails, every detail is designed to transport you away from the city streets and onto the shore.

What You Can Expect

At Isla's, we focus on three core pillars to ensure an authentic experience:
A curated Raw Bar: We feature a daily rotating selection of premium oysters flown in from the best waters in North America - from the crisp salinity of New England to the creamy sweetness of the Pacific Northwest. A Modern Coastal Kitchen: Our menu goes beyond the fryer. We serve elevated seafood dishes, including fresh catches like Artichoke Grilled Swordfish and Red Pepper Sea Bass, prepared with seasonal ingredients that highlight natural flavors. The Cocktail Program: Our bar offers a sophisticated lineup of drinks designed to pair perfectly with seafood, alongside a curated wine list and local brews.

Our Philosophy: Freshness First

We are committed to quality sourcing. Whether you are joining us for a celebratory seafood tower or a casual Tuesday evening drink, our promise is consistent: Sustainably sourced seafood
Hospitality that treats you like family
