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.

    London was a fantastic server, we needed an early lunch reservation due to a meeting, and this worked out perfectly. The Ahi Tuna  with mango salsa and rice, and the cold lobster roll were absolutely fantastic. I normally don’t finish a complete meal, but this was so good. I couldn’t stop. Highly recommend eating here!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Dinner was delicious. Of course it never disappoints! The restaurant was full, but noise level was moderate due to the three different levels. Our waiter was David one of the bar tenders. Very helpful, considerate and cheerful! Would love to request him again. Will be going back for sure

    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.
