   The service was the distraction. It seemed like they didn’t have enough staff or coordination to keep the tables clean, picking up dirty dishes, or filling up water glasses. We ordered fairly expensive items which arrived poorly cooked or missing needed utensils. For example, the stone crab arrived without any forks so there was no way to get to all the meat and when we asked for crackers so we could break the clause more they said they had run out and didn’t have any more available. Not really acceptable for this kind of restaurant.

   We went for the buffet on Sunday breakfast and lunch all at once all of the breakfast items did not taste good. We all agreed that, the lunch portion of it was OK but $42 per person. I don’t think so.

   Great restaurant on the beach. Very noisy on Saturday night. Good food, excellent service. Very pricey though so I can’t “highly” recommend, but if you got it like that…you will enjoy.

   I always order octopus anywhere I go if it is on the menu. The grilled octopus at Island Way Grill is the best I have ever had! The seafood stuffed salmon and grouper was superb. Nice house wines as well.

   Fantastic once again. Hubby had the Mahi mahi and it was great, son had strip loin, fantastic and I had the chicken bacon handheld and it was really good. Started with coconut shrimp and it’s clearly the best on the gulf. We 🇨🇦 have been here 5 times this spring and once more before we leave. It is our favourite!

   All the food was bad. The grouper dinner was dry and overcooked. Mashed potatoes were cold. The other dinner was fillet with Oscar. Asked for it to be separate plates for the seafood and the meat came out together. Sent it back came back cold crab meat, asparagus is overcooked, and the meat was literally raw, and it was supposed to be medium.. Just bad waste of money don’t go there. I wouldn’t go again. Go to the prime restaurant around the corner.

   We made a reservation and ended up waiting almost 20 minutes after our reservation time because they accidentally marked that we had already been seated. We were seated at a table that was not yet cleaned and still had the previous guest dishes, drinks, and bill on the table. We waited patiently for a server multiple times, and when one of the others realized we had not been helped yet he jumped in assist is even though it was not his assigned area (Thank you, Garrett!). The food was great but on the pricier end! Not sure if we would push our luck and go back if we are ever in the area.

   Great Bruch Menu, it has a lot of food items for the price of $40/person, including one Mimosa or Champagne glass. A little noisy inside, but overall a must while in Clearwater Beach.

    Never disappointed with Sunday brunch at Island Way Grill. There are a large number of selections to choose from, as well as the classics, and everything is delicious! Don't forget to enjoy a mimosa!
