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.

    Incredible holiday menu with fancy appetizers, and figgy pudding for dessert! The steak was cooked to perfection, the lobster claws were huge and decadent. The Maple Glazed Pork Belly was so good, I didn’t want it to end. Adam chose a delicious Bordeaux and Royal Tokaji for dessert. Jay was attentive and friendly. We were treated like family and the experience was magnificent!

    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!

    Waiter Andy was fun and extremely professional (waiting until the first wave of high-speed visiting was over before taking food orders). The food, as always, was totally outstanding, the menu quite varied, and everything was delicious. We make it a point to go there at least once on every holiday visit.

    You can't go wrong eating at Lucky Lobster. This is our 6th year spending Christmas Eve there and we always enjoy it. Mya provided great service and the food as always was delish. The 2-pound lobster was impressive. My partner enjoyed his Luckly Lobster Linguini too. Nice to have holiday music in the background for ambiance.
