Island Way - Oak Island

First of all the service is IMPECCABLE!! My husband and I had dinner here on a Friday evening. We called the day before and made reservations. Definitely make a reservation for dinner for a Friday evening or Saturday…the restaurant was packed. My husband ordered the crab legs and I had the scallops…everything was delicious!! Our server was wonderful…can’t beat the location either…right on the water…gorgeous views from every table… Fine dining at its BEST!! Must visit…we will definitely be back when we visit the island again. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

Excellent location and views of the ocean and pier. Mostly good food, aside from a few items they always seem to get wrong so I stopped ordering them. I do suggest the lobster ravioli or the shrimp cocktail. Service is hit or miss. I’ve had some servers that were on top of it and easy going and others who came to the table once in 45 minutes and I had to go to the host stand to get anything because the server was MIA or in the back all dinner.

Great service and delicious food. We will definitely be back!

In first line that look, that look out and the waiter outstanding! now for reviewing the back of the house. there 18oz bone in ribeye with a lobster dick added. the steak was at best 8 to 10 ounces with the bone at approx. 1/8 inches thick. it was cooked over to order well ordered medium). the lobster tail taste was great, he was also extremely overcooked. had to cut it with a steak knife) the red potato taste was only 5 halves of a small potato on my plate and the temperature was only warm. my wife has a fillet mignon with the potatoes on the island. the steak was ordered well cooked medium) and dry, the kartoffels were only warm again. this was our first visit in this restaurant, and we are in the opposite. we have addressed them with the waiter. at $109.00, I would like to have a big first visit and a full blow. also here were the waitress and the front team outstanding! the cook and other cookers need more training on the right way to cook steaks and seafood.

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. we spent 45 minutes in island way. in these 45 minutes we could only order drinks and appetizers. the blonde hostess is extremely rude and jordan is very argumentatiw and unprofessional. save their time, energy and frustration and take them somewhere else. it looks like they were a good restaurant, but these days have come and gone. promise with a customer should never happen. I can recommend shagger jacks in oak island or Oliver’s on cape fear in southport. they know how to run a quality restaurant.
