Sheri was great! The room was set beautifully and the food was excellent. Sheri did everything I had asked of her. I highly recommend the Island Way Grill.

Wedding Reception

Venue- Island way is a gorgeous venue for a wedding reception, I fell in love with the Harbor room and the waterfall backdrop. The Harbor room is clean and elegant. It was absolutely perfect for us.

Food-We did a brunch buffet and it was AWESOME! The buffet was kept clean and stocked quickly if needed. The food was also kept warm. Our guest were very pleased with the food and said it was some of the best food they ever had at a wedding reception! We were also able to do a mimosa bar for our guest which was fun and matched our brunch theme!

Service-Island way provided us with a few servers throughout the reception and they were wonderful, they all had smiles on their faces and were really approachable! They were also very attentive to the groom and I ensuring we had everything we needed. They made our even run so smoothly!

Venue coordinators-We contacted through emails and a few phone calls because we are from out of state, but every question I had big or small it was answered within an appropriate time frame. Both Amber and Sheri are very relaxed and I felt comfortable talking with them. I cannot thank Amber and Sheri enough for making our reception come to life. Amber checked-in with me a couple times throughout the reception to ensure everything was to my standards, they were exceeded.

I cannot recommend this establishment enough! If you want a beautiful atmosphere, great food, and a wonderful staff visit Island way! Thank you again for making my dream reception a reality!

Wonderful Dinner!

I had a destination Wedding with just the 2 of us. I picked this restaurant online and could not have been any happier! The service was great and the food was amazing. I believe they also host large weddings, I would not hesitate to use them for any function!
