When we arrived for our reservation, they seemed flustered at the restaurant. There was a party in front of us waiting for their reservation as well. The hostess told us the party at our table had paid but they were waiting for them to leave. After several minutes passed, they decided to place us at a different table in the back of a side room, not the main dining area.

At this point since it was already late and we sat down past our reservation, we gave the server our entire order. It took forever to get drinks, which were brought by a different server-then had to find a server to try to get drink refills and only got one. The entrees came out at odd times, not all together. Forgotten sauces came out even later from another server. The sides were put with the wrong entrees so we were literally switching and scraping plates at the table because the server was MIA.

My three children fell asleep at the table while we were waiting for our server to show up to even “check” on us. I left my husband at the table waiting to take care of boxes and the check so I could take my kids to the car. When he finally came out to the car, he said that when the server showed up, even though our table was empty, he asked him if he wanted dessert!

After the bill was paid my husband stood at the host stand waiting to ask for someone to speak to about our service and minutes had gone by without ANYONE walking by, so he just walked out.

The food was terrific, but this experience was dismal.

Lori the owner is excellent and the food is amazing.

The food was excellent and I would have rated 5 stars except for other things. The noise level is very high so that it was difficult to talk. It also takes a very long time for the food to be prepared. (We finished a bottle of wine while waiting. The fresh fish is market price so we asked our server the price. For the tile fish he said "$36 to $37 and the Mahi $34". We ordered the tile fish and the Mahi. When the bill came, we were charged for two orders of tile fish at $41 each. We questioned our server and told him we had one order of Mahi. He said "Oh, you must have received tile fish." We told him we had exchanged bites and the fish was different. Also, my husband loves Mahi and recognizes it. We asked why the tile fish was $41 as he had quoted a different price. He said, "You ordered it onion crusted which is $2 more". There is no indication of this on the menu and he should have included that in the quoted price. It really sapped the pleasure from the experience when we had to haggle over the check. He changed the bill to Mahi at $34 and Tile at $41.

Great fish
Great grits
Great fried spinach
Pricy but worth it for a wonderful meal

We were not prepared for a prix fixe menu and it limited the choices to one item for a non fish eater. Other than that the food and service were excellent.

Sehr gutes Essen und Service. Wir hatten einen der beiden Tische draußen. Ambiente innen ist sehr angenehm. Toller Weißwein. (Chardonnay Snitch 2018)

Fabulous food. The fish was fresh, excellently prepared. Good potions. The fired spinach was a great and wonderful surprise. Service was a little slow as in many places these days, but quite tolerable. Definitely expensive. $200 for 4 people. I will still be back as soon as possible.

Outstanding dining experience!

Best food ever!!! Kids agree! We have to go here every time we come to florida!!!

My wife had the tile with super grits. I had the amber jack on mashed potatoes and topped with a spicy cole slaw. both meals were delicious

Been here 3 times already since moving to the area . The food is absolutely incredible. Best fish we’ve ever had . And always consistent . Great owners and staff .

Outstanding food and service! Had a great time and enjoyed the overall experience.

The service was was exceptional and food was good. Only complaint I ordered crap and shrimp with penne pasta plenty of all except no crab. The main lady said it was in the mixture of the sauce. I don’t know about that one. If you order crab and shrimp there should be evidence of both. Miles the service was AWESOME 👍🏻

Outstanding!!! Great Food!!! Friendly and Fast Service. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent meal! Will definitely return. Service was outstanding!

Great food. Fresh seafood. Will be coming back for sure.

Great food, awesome staff!! Enjoyable atmosphere!!

Fish was mushy. Chicken was rubbery. Portions were fine but doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. Crab cakes and spinach were good. Overpriced for substandard fair. A big disappointment for our night out.

Absolutely the best...we always enjoy coming to Islands Fish Grill

I have been to this restaurant on many occasions & it never disappoints! Enjoy their specialty of onion encrusted fish (Grouper, Snapper and Chef’s choice for the day) and you can’t go wrong! We had the pleasure of Myles as our Server…he was quite good!

Food was excellent. The restaurant is a bit noisy and we waited over ½ hour for our entrees to come out.

Wait staff was excellent!

Freshest fish in town wait staff highly trained on catch of the day and wine and beer

My first time and it was amazing

This restaurant is a hidden gem! Oysters were fresh and tasty. The salad greens were sublime and not over powered by the dressing, the goat cheese or the other goodies.I had the onion crusted Grouper and my wife had the snapper. Both tasted like they had just been caught and were beautifully seasoned. The Keylime pie melted in your mouth. Even the coffee was delicious and served in a very large cup. The server, Yanni, did not play any music but his service had a certain rhythm and panache about it. Wholeheartedly recommend !

Great meal and service.

This family owned restaurant is an absolute gem! The staff is great (esp. Dan) and the food is always fresh and well prepared. Shop local and eat well

Grouper was great as four of us ordered it

The Onion Grouper is the best fish dish I’ve ever eaten. The service was impeccable. My only regret is not writing down the name of our server (she was from Brazil). She was very personable, knowledgeable of the menu and attentive. We will be back!

Never disappointed. Delicious!!! We absolutely love coming here.

The service was excellent. The recommendations by our server Myles were perfect, he knew the details about the Chef’s offerings and described the featured dishes very well. The food was amazing. Each plate was brought out piping hot and beautifully presented. This is the way dining out should be, a very enjoyable experience overall!

Great meal! The onion crusted Triple Trail fish and fried spinach fantastic. Service was very good

This is one of our favorite restaurants. Great service, delicious food and always something new on the wine list.

This was the second time we ate here in a week. Excellent food. The server was very helpful in choosing our dinner.
It was a great experience!! We will be back

Food, service, staff, and atmosphere was all a delight. This is the place to go for seafood.

Amazing FRESH fish, as always! Great job Island Fish Grill!

I was seated in the backroom.
Made me feel real small and unappreciated.
No Grouper available.

The service was outstanding, but the dishes were somewhat distasteful due to the excessive amount of salt put on everything. It was a shame, as the fish was so fresh, but all one could taste was salt crystals.

The food was absolutely excellent. Cant say enough about how well the fish was prepared and the array of flavors in every bite. Would highly recommend.

lovely local place with wonderful owners, great staff, and consistently good, fresh food. We go there 3-4 times a month and would recommend highly.

This was our first time there so we followed the recommendations of the waiter and tried the signature dish with the onion crust and the signature sides. The food was INCREDIBLE! The portions were large (my husband had to finish mine so I could save room for dessert!) and you could taste the love and care put into the food. The soup was amazing, using the leftover pieces of fresh fish that couldn't be served as a meal for an incredibly fresh and delicious soup that my husband is still talking about. The oysters were sweet and meaty and almost a meal in themselves. We went with the waiter's recommendation for the chocolate mousse for dessert and what a treat! The texture was very different than I'd had before but it was so rich while still being light. The wine was delicious and paired beautifully. Everything is clearly handcrafted and we wanted to try everything! We will definitely be back soon!
