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.

    Location, ambiance, food are all great. Reservation system is very poor and a huge negative. Both nights we had a reservation, with a request (offered as part of the reservation) to eat outdoors. When we arrived we were told outside was first come, first served. We waited 45 minutes to be seated. So basically there is no reservation system unless you want to eat inside - which is just not at all the reason you go to this beautiful spot. Just an FYI for future guests.

    Overall experience and service from the bartenders and our server was great. A few details that were lacking. I asked for a quiet table for my wife and I when I made the reservation. I do not believe this was noticed as we were seated in probably the loudest area of the restaurant. We ordered Oyster Rockefellar for an appetizer, a different waiter or food runner brought out a half dozen of raw oysters instead. Our waiter did notice it, apologized and brought out what we ordered on the house. She was great! I ordered a steak to be cooked Pittsburgh style/medium rare. The steak came out with butter on it and was not warm enough to melt the butter the cook spread on it with no char at all. Again our server was on top of this and got it taken care of right away. For a restaurant of this caliber and price point a cook should know how to properly prepare a Pittsburgh style steak.

    As usual the service was outstanding and the ambiance was wonderful. The oyster Rockefeller’s were amazing as well as the raw oysters I took off a star because my Pork Duloc was over cooked and dry I asked for medium so perhaps I should have asked for medium rare

    Our favourite restaurant on the coast, our second time here in two weeks. The Strip Loin was perfect, melt in your mouth. A little green (broccoli?) would be a nice addition and the fries seem like probably just frozen crinkle. Salmon was wonderful and the Mahi Mahi. The Coconut shrimp are fantastic.

    We went for the Supper Club dining until 5:30. The price was right and included bread, salad, entree, and desert. It is near water and we sat in the second row and the view was good..

    We had a wonderful experience at Island way grill. Our waitress was amazing and super patient with kids. The surf and turf was some of the best I’ve ever had, and don’t miss out on the truffle Mac and cheese. We’ll be back!

    Very nice restaurant. Seated 35 minutes later than reservations. Noise level very high. The food was very tasty and satisfying. Our server Jason was excellent! The pricing of the food is very reasonably for the quality. I would definitely go back
