Island Way Grill

We loved coming to the early bird special! What a fabulous value! Excellent food! Loved sitting outside! The service was fantastic! We chose the grilled salmon (catch of the day), duroc pork chop, and salmon rosette. Each was cooked just right. The bread and herb oil was delicious to start along either the house salad or Caesar salad. The entrée came with mashed potatoes that were very flavorful. We even enjoyed cute dessert of mini strawberry shortcake and mini chocolate mousse. Highly recommend!!

Enjoyed a lovely meal here with excellent service. My salmon was fabulous but my husband’s hogfish was very thin so not filling, unfortunately. Our friends’ meals had generous portions. A/C in main dining room wasn’t working well so anyone inclined to get hot, was sweating. I was ok but just mentioning because it was surprisingly warm.

Fantastic food and a great atmosphere and the staff are eager to please. Definately something special if you are having an event or a special someone to enjoy it with. Even thought it is busy it still seems to allow for your group to chat and enjoy the time. There is free valet service and a free parking area but the real star if the show is the food. There is also an oyster and sushi batlr that have some incredible flavours that are definately worth the trip.

We just had our wedding here in March 2026 and i cannot say enough good things about it! Our day was absolutely perfect thanks to Amber and her team! The room was beautiful and exactly how we wanted it to be, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was DELICIOUS. All of our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how good the food and service was! Thank you so much for making our day so special

We had not been here in 16 years, and we have talked about Island Way Grill ever since our last visit. We were so excited to return and hopeful that what we remembered would still be the same, and it absolutely was. The restaurant has changed a bit over the years. It feels a little bigger and more casual now, but the food is still outstanding, and the service is excellent. Everything we had was delicious, and the overall experience reminded us exactly why this place left such a lasting impression. This is truly one of our favorite restaurants, and we will continue talking about it until the next time we return. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Clearwater. We did make reservations ahead of time, which actually made our visit a little easier since they were able to accommodate us right away.
