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.

    Our server Efren was outstanding, he was very good at explaining the specials to my guest who had never eaten there. He introduced us to a new Pinot Grigio but we didn't like it (we are wine snobs, we prefer Santa Margherita), but the Bonvolio was fine. Food was excellent. It got light as night fell but the manager was great at turning the lights down and much more romantic. Thank you for a great Christmas week dinner.

    We had a party of 4 for Girls Christmas Brunch. 2 had been before and 2 it was our first visit for Sunday Brunch. The ambiance was great as the Christmas decor was beautiful, there was a girl singing live Christmas music and they Grinch was there for photos and visiting the tables. The food was outstanding and the selection was perfect! We sat outside which was beautiful but a bit chilly until the sun reached us more. The espresso martinis were lovely as always and the service was wonderful! We can’t wait to go back!

    My husband and I dined at The Black Pearl tonight for their Christmas special, and it was truly one of the most exceptional culinary experiences we’ve ever had. We’ve previously had a three-Michelin-star experience in Mexico (2022), and this evening rivaled, if not matched, that level of excellence. Every detail was extraordinary—the food was exquisite, with each course perfectly crafted to delight the senses. The palate cleansers were a delightful and refreshing touch, enhancing the flow of the meal beautifully. We opted for the seven-course holiday special with the wine pairing, and it was worth every penny. The wine pairing was simply impeccable, a flawless 10/10, with each selection complementing the dishes perfectly. This was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable culinary journey. We’re already counting down the days until our return for our wedding anniversary at the end of January. I can’t wait to relive this incredible experience.
