We read the reviews and those who hated it had good reason but we thought we would chance it. Overcrowded, dark, small were my first impressions. Staff seemed flustered. After standing at the door for ten minutes a very rude young man sauntered over and asked if we had a reservation. I told him we had tried to call since... More

Went on a Monday night, which, along with Tuesday, is BOGO entree day. You can only choose from four entrees listed on a blackboard, but all of them are excellent. My wife had the signature stuffed filet, which was cooked perfectly and perfectly delicious. I ad the fresh catch, which was a salmon cake with cucumber dill (almost Greek) sauce.... More

Made reservations for a tuesday nite which is buy one get one free entree nite and the place was packed. Seated right away for our reserved time and waited on promptly. We ordered 3 different dishes which were all outstanding. My dad's salmon was awesome - fresh and tasty. My mom's filet was perfect and flavorful and my crab cakes... More

It was a delight the last two years & while planning our trip in May this year, we can't wait to go back to the Grille. We make our reservations one to two weeks in advance for the Monday... More

We have been to Island Grille many times but last night was the first time in a long time. Since our last visit a new Chef and General Manager have taken over the restaurant. There is no good reason for our delay in going back simply so many restaurants and so little time :) Anyway, last nights dinner was a... More

That all changed once we got inside though. The staff was great, the place was packed on a slow Tuesday in March, and once we had our meal we... More
