Review of The Island Grille by Rosie Poldoian from Flagler Beach
The staff were welcoming and efficient and the restaurant is charming. Sitting outside had a feel of the past but the food was very modern. We were recommended their signature dish, the Wasabi Salmon, which tasted amazing and was a good size piece. This was my first visit and will not be my last, as there was many more dishes on the menu I'd love to try.

A lot of weird and confusing name and ownership changes going on here lately, and we tried to check their Facebook page before coming and it was down, but we stopped in anyway this weekend and it appears to be back to normal again. I had the short ribs an they did not disappoint and my wife had the chicken stuffed with ricotta and said it was very good. Our server was excellent and hope he sticks around. It wasn't busy and I always think it has a better vibe with more people, but the view never changes.

It feels much nicer in here now and not so dated. The food menu is very similar to the old Island Grille and they focus now on cocktails more. Would like to see some new dishes added. Service was very good and views are amazing.

The new owner has given this place a much needed makeover and it feels so much nicer inside now. The menu seems very much the same though with the addition of a couple of items, and I'm hoping they'll update that too. We did enjoy our meals and the special I had of risotto and mahi was delicious. My friend wished they had more veggie options and she wasn't too impressed with the pasta dish she had. The service was very professional and they now also offer some good sounding cocktails, but I was with someone in recovery so avoided and would like to come back again to try some.

New owners are nice and friendly! Both of them stopped by the table to say hi and ask how things were. I wanted to try it to see if the food tasted the same and it was BETTER than ever. Same menu with a few additions, new updated decor and some much needed renovations and upgrades. Congrats to the new owners, you're doing a great job and we will definitely be back.
Highlight of visit: The orange dreamsicle martini was great. The Friday 'Midwest' Fish Fry was incredible. Beer battered, potato pancakes absolutely delicious. My server was Greg , he was spot on.

It looked closed when we first arrived with no curb appeal or welcoming signs and a lack of cars in the parking lot. They have new owners but no real improvements yet and the same old menu. My meal was tasty but looked very vertical, messy, and too pleasant to eat. I liked sitting outside previously but it was too cold and inside felt like eating in an old lady's musty house.

Everything here needs a refresh. They've been runing on the same dishes forever and as much as they have some great ones, there hasn't been any newer ones that can better them. Kind of makes me not want to visit as much as I'd like. Food not as consistent as it was either. Hope they come together as I like the nostalgic feel of the place and they have great views from the verhanda.

My wife and I made reservations here for a date night and everything was very nice. Not too busy and the atmosphere is very old Florida and much different than the other beachfront restaurants in Flagler. Very good menu with many great sounding items. Waiter said the Lobster Bisque is a must try and it really was amazing. We also had the Roasted Duck and the Crab Cakes, both of which were excellent dishes. The Island Grill isn't a place we would visit often but for special occasions it'll be high on the list.

This time disappointed. Our visiting friend treated 6 of us to dinner. The Thai bowl used to have grilled slices of chicken. This time cubes 🫤 not as good. The staff and Chef Gary do great; but, really, they now charge .25 each for extra rolls! We spent = $300.00 and they charge $1.25 for extra rolls. Embarrassed; will be a while before we return.

An interesting place that like dining in a curio shop, with an equally interesting menu of eclectic dishes. The Wasabi Salmon lived up to its reputation and was incredible. Husband said his Ribeye was tender and delicious. No fault with the service and if you can take the heat the porch offers great views.

Very eclectic menu and an interesting location and decor. Our server was professional. I could have eaten the smoked salmon eggrolls appetizer all night but the veggie stir fry was nothing too special but my husband's snapper was excellent. Had a good time here and will visit again.

Our meals were tasty but not particularly memorable. Eggroll appetizer was the highlight. Waiter was good. Felt kind of uncomfortable inside. Can't quite explain that.
Highlight of visit: Salmon eggrolls.

I always order the same dish here... the Shrimp Pomodoro, a nice delicate dish of sauteed shrimp in a flavorful tomato sauce with basil and garlic served on angel hair. They have a nice setting here but I don't really enjoy being in the back room or the patio as it's too uncomfortable. Service seems to be much better at lunch than at dinner. It's cheaper for lunch too!

We had guests in from out of town and thought this would be a good place to take them. We had made a reservation and the guy greeting us was not very welcoming and abrupt, but once at our table everything improved. Our server was great, the food was excellent, and the drinks from the bar were very good. We all ordered something different, and I can say that my Dumpling appetizer and Crab Cakes entree were delicious. The atmosphere is quirky and feels dated, and the seating is uncomfortable, but that kind of adds to the charm. The guy greeting us did not add anything!

A little outdated inside but our server was uplifting and the food was delicious. I was recommended the house specialty Wasabi Salmon which lived up to its reputation as did the Lobster Bisque. My GF chose a Veggie Pasta dish that she enjoyed. No room for dessert but the Old Fashioned 🥃finished the meal off very well.

I thought it was great here. The food was really delicious and the service was awesome. Good menu selection with more fine dining options than elsewhere on the beach but the atmosphere is still laid back. The Lobster Bisque and Wasabi Salmon are both house specialties and both incredible dishes. We were a party of five and each of us had something different and left raving about the place. The cocktails were excellent too.

Found this place while exploring the area. It's hidden off the road in a hotel and has quite an interesting and varied menu. We made a reservation for today and was seated outside which was very nice but we found the seating a little uncomfortable. I was recommended the Wasabi Salmon which was a very unique and tasty dish and my husband had his usual hamburger which he said was excellent. The staff was friendly but needed to check on us more often. They had other dishes I'd like to try and wish we were around longer to visit again.

Interesting artifacts inside the building and out front you get good views of the ocean. Our server was very good and professional and they have some unique and very diverse dishes on the menu. The pork dumplings appetizer and crab cakes entree were both really delicious. The check was quite high but was worth it.

Had and early dinner here to celebrate my birthday with wife and daughter. Our server was very friendly and he was happy to offer suggestions and answer questions. The chef here really knows how to cook as all dishes were excellent and very well presented. My NY Steak encrusted with bleu cheese and bacon with a horseradish sauce was delicious and my daughter just loved her crab cakes. Their Lobster Bisque is worth the visit alone! Thanks to everyone here for making our dinner a great experience.
