I would be more inclined to use a peninsula, opposite orientation from either end, instead of island. I dont like putting island into middle of traffic. Seems to be a bit short on countertop with cabs around the fridge. Can you peninsula off that end? Just thoughts.

I personally would not care for the island connected to the table because it looks to be a lot to walk around. Perhaps it would not be as cumbersome in reality as it looks in the drawing.

If you are making table higher than 30" it is not comfortable for most people. It would be better at 30" height. The transportation from refrigerator to range is cumbersome. I like the concept of combined island/table but I am uncomfortable with the length if this combo. I will think a bit on it and see what I can come up with.

I would tend to agree with using a peninsula instead. We too redid our kitchen and replaced an island with a peninsula because it was a pain to walk around it. Now with our peninsula and no island it has allowed our flow walking back and forth from fridge to stove much better. We can also fit more people in the kitchen this way, and our peninsula acts as a great place to set up a food line for parties.

Also, it is easier to vent a range on an outside wall. Maybe you could switch the range and fridge, if that is an outside wall.

You should post this in the kitchens forum. I would probably keep island and table all one level. Move sink on the fridge wall with fridge at the bottom of that run, and range on back wall flanked by two windows. The left wall can be shallow pantry storage. That'll help with your aisle dimensions.

I love the amazing wall of storage. I'd be jealous of that awesome pantry area.

We like sitting at a bar height table, so if you like it, don't worry about it being uncomfortable. Especially as I see you have a dining room table close by.

This is a similar kitchen from another post but the kitchen was closed off....I like this layout because its more open but if you turn the island around and have a smaller table in the center of it.....it would have a better flow.

Maybe you want to open the entire space by eliminating the wall to the foyer. Cooktop or stove would be on a larger island. Table separate from the island. Separate oven to the right of the refrigerator.

Cooktop on island is the worst possible location. If anything, put the sink there

Thank You All for your advises and opinions.

Here are two other options I came up with based on the recommendations from above. What do you think?

The peninsula works the best.

My kitchen is very similar and we love it.

Peninsula (which I normally don't like) is best in this space. (last picture best-almost) One adjustment to consider is adding one more cabinet to the range side of the wall or expanding the peninsula with a row of 12" cabinets facing out for storing seldom used items would square it up a bit more with the other side? You appear to have the room and that would increase the inside footprint. Have you reduced the size of the range? HVAC issues expressed above are of concern so if you haven't already, make sure those are being considered and factored into your infrastructure. VERY hard to back fit so think about those issues.

Flo Mangan, yes! I reduced the Range from a 48" to a 36". Thanks for pointing that out.

I like the peninsula but if you remove the wall that the person on the left would be staring at

Tearing down of wall between foyer and kitchen is not a possibility since that is a load bearing wall. We would also not like to see our kitchen as soon as we open the door.

Ok keep the peninsula the way it is in the second pic but what I would like to know if the wall with the opening where the fridge is where does that lead to. I'm pretty sure you can place the table there

Claire, that door leads to the utility room and garage.

Also in the last pic is doable too just cut the wall down in half and there can't be any plumbing on that piece of wall

I dont clearly get your idea, which wall?

Does that wall have to be there

Gotcha, yes that is also load bearing, so it has to stay.

Is it a pipe going all the way up to the ceiling

No, it does not have to stay. A simple point load small steel post and steel beam can eliminate that wing wall entirely. The post can be hidden in the foyer wall, and it's counterpart in the wall behind the fridge. But it will need likely need to be steel in order to be small enough to do that. Talk to a structural engineer to design the support.
