• Seafood • Clearwater Beach

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.

    Everything was perfect for our lunch at The Columbia but the weather—we asked for outdoor seating and a cold wind started just as our food arrived. But the sangria made at the table with fresh fruit and wine was excellent, as was all of the food. Great staff, from the hostess to the wait staff to the parking valet. We’ve now been to all the Columbia restaurants and they do it right! Love their food!

    Great experience at the Black Pearl. We went on Saturday, February 15, 2025 and they still had the 4 course tasting menu from Valentine’s Day. Our waiter Sean was fantastic and thoroughly explained the menu. The sommelier, Tommy, was very knowledgeable. Will go back to the Black Pearl very soon. Food was fantastic, and the ambience was very romantic.

    The E & E Stakeout Grill was by far our best meal in Belleaire. I had the sea bass and it was prepared perfectly. My husband order the grouper which was incredible. The mashed potatoes were the best that I have ever tasted. The rice and vegetables were a second runner up. You can’t go wrong with this restaurant. The only issue I had was the noise level a bit loud due to alcohol consumption by some of the customers.
