Island Way Grill sits directly on the water in Clearwater Beach, with a dining room and outdoor patio oriented toward the sunset. The kitchen splits its attention across a seafood raw bar and entrees — stone crab, oysters, and gulf-caught fish — a sushi program with rolls, poke, and sashimi, and hand-cut steaks finished over an oak and citrus open firepit.
The restaurant leans into its role as an event destination, with indoor and outdoor space built for weddings and private gatherings, plus recurring chef's table dinners led by Chef Emily Asllani paired with wine and spirits features. It's part of the Baystar Restaurant Group.
Regulars point to attentive service and the space itself — waterfront views that make it a go-to for special occasions — alongside consistently good seafood, with early bird specials drawing a value-conscious crowd.
