About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
At the Island Way Grill, we're all about fresh fish. Our own boats make daily trips to the middle grounds to bring back fresh tuna, mahi, snapper and other local varieties. No long-line fish here-just hook, rod, and reel. If it's any fresher, it is still in the gulf. Most of our cooking revolves around our oak and citrus fired open pit, which sears at an extremely high temperature and adds a delicious smokiness to everything grilled. You'll find an abundance of fresh herbs and only the best quality seasonings. Fresh vegetables are used throughout our menu, and all soups and sauces are hand-prepared. We are also proud to provide an excellent selection of the worlds best oysters flown in fresh for your enjoyment. In addition to our menu, our chefs prepare a varied assortment of daily specials that always add an element of interest to our every-day offerings.

    It was much more expensive for the Easter brunch but the food was exactly the same as every Sunday brunch.

    Nice dining room and patio. Good variety of fish options, however, they charge you extra for some preparations. Also, fish comes with only mashed mashed potatoes. I asked for a veggie instead, which waiter said "sure"! Then charged $4.oo extra, and missed charged us for our drinks.

    Great food! Large and noisy restaurant. I would sit on the patio near the boats if I was going back to FL. Loved it.

    Great Atmosphere, but Service Could Use a Bit of Polish We were excited to dine here and had requested outdoor seating with our reservation, but unfortunately weren’t able to get it. While the ambiance inside was still pleasant, it wasn’t quite what we were hoping for. The food overall was good, though a few details were missed. We didn’t receive bread before our meal, and when the server brought our food, some oyster sauce accidentally spilled onto the table. We asked for a new fork and napkin, but they were never brought, and the spill wasn’t addressed. The kids’ drinks arrived very late—right as the food was served—and our espresso martini didn’t come out until the very end of dinner, long after it was ordered. On top of that, the server never once checked on us to ask how everything was during the meal. Despite these service hiccups, we enjoyed the meal and the flavors were definitely worth trying. With a little more attention to detail, this could easily be a top-notch experience.
