• 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.

    Open Table permitted us to make a 9 pm Friday night reservation. The restaurant actually closes at 9 but I would not have known that had they not called me to ask me if I could arrive earlier than 9. This kind of attention to detail is very professional and I appreciated it. The food was amazing! We were a party of 6 that grew to 11 at the last minute. They accommodated us with a wonderful attitude and we had a great time having drinks, tapas, dinner plus dessert with friends and family.

    Food is very good. Not fancy at all. Dogs are everywhere one was just loose and walking around. No cage or leash. We saw one on owners lap eating from a plate. Music was a one man band that was very good. If you don’t like loud ask to sit in the back or outside. We had 3 glasses of wine and three appetizers and with tip the bill was $103.00. Very expensive but what isn’t these days. Don’t miss the Clam Chowder it’s spectacular!

    Appetizer brussels sprouts were outstanding as well as the entrée diver, scallops over corn risotto, and some chorizo sausage was just enough sausage to complement the entrée. It was overwhelming. It was delicious. The Smashburger and homemade tomato bisque was outstanding. The dream martini the margarita excellent excellent. But of course it couldn’t have been as perfect as our wonderful, waitress Ashlee. she was seasoned knowledgeable and professional. She made our night perfect. We sat inside. The seats were comfortable. The ambience was outstanding. I would recommend this very very highly. If it wasn’t as windy we would’ve sat outside. It was a very delightful experience. We will come back again
