About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
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.

    We had reservations at 7:30pm but didn’t sit until after 8pm as we wanted to sit outside. The restaurant was very cold. Our waitress Penny was very good. The food took a while to come out. The pasta was a bit too heavy but the steak was amazing! They even cut it for us so our family could share. Very extensive menu would go back to try more items!

    This is probably a very nice restaurant at some other time. But based on our experience yesterday, I would not give it strong ratings. Service was very poor. We ate outside and the deck was noisy and not clean. The food was fine, but not exceptional. The music was too loud. In hindsite, it might’ve been better if we had eaten inside. We were really looking forward to this experience and it was far below our expectations.

    Waste of $$$$… hard to find stone crab besides Joes & they had them here, I wish I took a picture of how they were served! 4 pieces on an empty plate with 2 lemons, they forgot the butter & dressing!!!! He brought the butter after we had started eating it…, drinks were bad, cosmo was made wrong (how is that possible!). Appetizers were cold, salty grilled octopus, main course was ok, NY strip was good cause they did it in the open grill, o h& the risotto looked & tasted like mashed potatoes!!! An Italian would have thrown it over the deck if they had it!!!

    Let me start by saying I've been here several times and always had a positive experience. I was disappointed tonight in the service we received due to our orders not being correct when brought out. Our waiter never came back around to see if we wanted another round of drinks until we were done with our meals. We also had a shrimp scambi order, and the shrimp were cold. Our waiter definitely seemed overwhelmed tonight. I will give it another try next time I'm here visiting, but I was definitely disappointed this visit based on my past experiences.

    Our experience was mixed. Our server was not having a good day. He forgot parts of our dinners, waved us off when we tried to tell him we didn’t get salads, spilled our cocktails all around the table and didn’t even acknowledge it. So odd. Our food was great though and they took off on the bill for the poor service. Just an odd experience.

    We took some friends for an early dinner. We were seated immediately on the patio. Food and service were excellent! Highly recommend the “early bird “ specials! All entries included salads and dessert! Thank you for a wonderful dinning experience! Ask for Ella as your waiter, she was wonderful!

    Always good food. Great value. We were in a rush to eat since we were going to a concert and waiter worked extra hard to get us our drinks and food timely.

    Came in shortly after open for their early bird special. Server was attentive however not really friendly. Ordered my steak medium, it came out extremely rare. When it was sent back to me, it looked like someone chopped it into several pieces and cooked it beyond well. The shrimp was fine. No choice in the dessert, neither my mother or I drink coffee so we didn’t care for the tiramisu so we didn’t even eat the dessert. Definitely won’t be going back.
