| Island Grill is a delightful taste of a real Caribbean restaurant. Lots of hot colors, lots of cool colors, lots of wonderful original paintings with an island theme – a delight for the eye. Just sitting in one of their three dining rooms transports you to a different kind of island. Island Grill is a serious “fish” restaurant that also caters to the beef, chicken, or vegetarians diner. In town of accomplished chefs, Harry Gleason’s name is well-known, for his years at the critically acclaimed Daniels on Broadway. You now have a chance to try his Caribbean influenced cuisine in a casual setting at his brand new restaurant, Island Grill. Some menus are just plain “fun” and this is one of those. Starters include Hot Jalapeno Crab Dip, served warm in a ramekin garnished with pita bread, or an “East meets West” offering. Cajun Chicken Egg Rolls with blackened chicken, roasted corn, red onion and peppers with a spicy mustard sauce. Try a summery salad, such as the Black Bean Shrimp and Mango Avocado, all tossed in a citris vinaigrette, or a Chilled and Grilled Vegetable Gazpacho. |

| Come back for dinner and try some additional appetizers, like the Conch Fritters, conch and corn fritters deep fried and crisply, served with tartar sauce, or an old-island-style recipe conch chowder. There are sandwiches on the dinner menu too, but bring your appetite because there’s lots more. Choose from a selection of Island Grill Fresh Fish, prepared to your liking and served with a variety of sauces and salsa. Meat lovers will want to try the Grilled Flat Iron Steak, with a Vidalia, rosemary, red wine demi and garlic mashed potatoes. If chicken is your pick, go for the Macadamia-crusted Chicken Breast, with a coconut curry sauce. You’ll fine pasta, complemented with chicken, seafood, or veggies, a great selection. Save room for dessert . . . Coconut Crème Brulee, Chocolate Toffee Mouse with Kahlus, Old Town Cheesecake, Warm Tropical Brownie, or Island Grill Key Lime Pie . . . do they need to say any more?
