Counters wont "connect"
Emma:
Yeah, that doesn't look right :D I tend to use islands as islands-usually making a 2x2 square with 4 counters.

I'd like to do this, but doesn't it prevent sims from being able to clean up plates if they so choose to eat off this island square?
My sims always clean up plates from the "front" of an island counter. If they are joined as four in a square, there is no access to any if the "fronts."
Something that has always irked me.
Emma:
No, they can still clean up plates. I tend to just put 1 barstool on each side though, and/or 2 on opposite sides so there is plenty of room to serve, clean up etc. I never put all 8 barstools there.
My usual island placement:
C C
I I C
C I I

or:

Depends on how many sims I have in a household and whatever additional dining areas I have. You need fairly big kitchens though to place islands in a square and allow access from each side.

That's always irritated me.
Emma:
Yeah, me too. Usually though, when my sim families get lots of money I make huge houses with huge rooms, and I always give them a dining room. I can never fill the kitchen so sometimes I make a decorative island to fill with clutter.
In my poor families I usually give them the cheapo square dining table in the kitchen, or just stick 2 islands side by side and plonk barstools there. You can't put the islands next to a wall on either the right or left side though or they get the 'inaccessible' plate. You can put the front of the island alongside a wall though.
