Island Way Grill

Not your ordinary waterfront seafood shanty, the glass-encased, wood-enhanced sleek Island Way prepares the daily catch Pan-Asian style in its open kitchen. Everything is delicious, from the (cooked) fish to the sushi. Even the meatloaf is gourmet, with wasabi mashed potatoes and tumbleweed onions -- a bargain at $17. The wine list is also superb. Sit on the patio, then gravitate toward the outdoor bar, where the fabulous people -- like members and owners of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- hang out, talk shop, and scope the scene.
