Review of Island Way Grill

We had a great dinner experience here! The regular menu was very very extensive, and the non gluten sensitive members of our group had a variety of options that were really delicious- seafood, steak and sushi; great bottle of red wine as well. The gluten free menu may have seemed limited compared to the regular menu, but it was still a full page of options with good variety. My gf son (13) asked if they could prepare the salmon from the regular menu gf. There was some confusion as one server said it could be done and a different server said it could not. As he can be very sensitive but does not have extreme reactions we felt ok going with the salmon and felt assured in the communication and its preparation. They eliminated the sauce and the mashed potatoes were already gf. On bringing the plate to the table the waiter repeated that it was gf. My son really enjoyed it. Plus, he could have the mussels, oysters and edamame we all shared to start, so the experience was very positively inclusive for him. He loves calamari, but couldn’t have that as it was not gf. They did have two gf desserts, but we did not try them. I did not ask about the use of gloves in the kitchen or what other measures they may take as they have the gf menu and we felt confident speaking with the one server. I can appreciate the need to be more specific if their is an extreme sensitivity, allergic response or greater risk with possible cross contamination.
