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.

Poor service, food was not worth it. Appetizer and drinks were okay, but the mahi mahi was rubbery, waiter very slow. Had to wait a long time just for water, bread was the last thing we were served.

From the moment we pulled up to the time we picked up our car, the service was exceptional and the food was divine! The valet staff were super nice and fast. Drinks were very good and our bar server Sergio was super sweet, courteous and fun to be around. He really kicked off a fine evening for us. Then the dinner was delicious and the service was really great. Fresh food and an enormous selection without breaking the bank. Would definitely come back!

We arrived at 8 for an 8 pm reservation. We were told that it would be 25 minutes to be seated . The lobby was mobbed with other people waiting . They said we could be seated immediately if we would move outside on the deck . We agreed . It took 10 minutes for anyone to come to the table . He brought 3 waters . He proceeded to tell us that the were out of 3 fresh fishes on the menu . My wife asked if they still had hogfish . He took our drink orders and said he would check with the kitchen . 10 more minutes passed . We could see the waiter moving around but he never returned to the table with the drinks or the answer about the hogfish . We decided to leave and cut our losses . It was Christmas Eve and we had no confidence in anything there at this point . We told the waiter we were leaving . His indifference was evident . We have had pretty good experience here in the past . This was just plain awful service and management .

The wait staff at bar were fabulous. Our original seating with reservation was a 30/40 minute wait so we opted to eat at bar which was a good choice. Enjoyed our evening.
