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.

Thank you for a great lunch. The lobster rolls were perfect, however, the fries were a bit of shrinkflation on the portion, compared to previous visits. Our server was friendly and attentive. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

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.

We had a great meal at BLUFIN and very good customer service. We had hoped to sit outside to admire the beautiful view but we sat in the dining room due to rain which worked out just fine. Big windows behind the bar showcase the bay outside. We'd recommend this to anyone in the Tampa area.
