• Seafood • Clearwater Beach
Booked 47 times today
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.

    Sand Key Columbia always impresses. We have been doing Thanksgiving Lunch there for several years now and the food is amazing. I do not like turkey, so I love the option of selecting something else off their regular (and amazing) menu. Our server (Cindy) was impeccable and extraordinarily attentive. Thank you Gonzmart Family for making our Thanksgiving a truly memorable experience.

    We ate at The Black Pearl for the first time last night and it was excellent! What a hidden little gem in Dunedin. We love the small quaint setting. It has an elegant atmosphere despite being in a small downtown location. All of the wait staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. The sommelier’s wine pairing recommendations were perfect. Everything we ate was delicious and the presentation was exactly what you would expect for a more high-end restaurant. It is perfect for any special occasion! We will definitely return.

    Love the Clear Sky restaurants. Good food, fun atmosphere. We started with the pecan crusted Brie-delicious! Both of us enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Generous portion, plenty of lobster meat. Took home enough for another meal.
