    The Red Snapper was superb! Everyone’s entree was devoured. We’ve been enjoying their food since I had my 50th birthday at Islands Fish Grill and that was in the late 90’s!

    We come to Melbourne frequently and when we do, the Islands Fish Grill is always on our list to get to. It’s quaint and the service is top notch! Myles is a huge asset to this restaurant and makes you feel like you are the only patron there. So kind, professional, and has a side of humor! Hostess is warm and treats you like family. Now for the main thing…the food is delicious!!! Do not leave without trying the onion crusted fish and fried spinach!!! I’ve tried several fish and they were all amazing but grouper will always be my favorite!!! We will always be back! Don’t miss this local favorite. But don’t take our space. Reservations are a really good suggestion! 🤤

    One of my favorite local restaurants! I have been dining at Islands Fish Grill for almost 20 years. The fish is consistently fresh and their unique recipes are always incredibly delicious. The wait staff gives top notch attention to detail and fantastic customer service. The decor is rustic and beachy, and has been updated nicely in the past few years. Whether you are visiting Indialantic or live here…. We can all agree that we love this area for the small town beach vibe… And this restaurant perfectly represents that. Do not hesitate. PRO TIP- ordered the onion crusted fish of the day with the fried spinach and mashed potatoes. EVERYONE needs to try this delicious meal at least once!

    My husband and I went for a belated anniversary meal and we’re delighted that IFG had a new summer 3- course special menu to choose from. Our server, Miles , was so knowledgeable about the chef choice fish, Almaco Jack. We loved it and were able to have our favorite onion crust on the fish. The bacon chipotle soup was outstanding and the chocolate mousse luscious. So glad to be a local!

    We live on a barrier island, but a good fish restaurant is really hard to find. This place is a gem. The fish, along with everything else, is FRESH, and the chef has a creative flair of blending sweet, savoury and spicy flavours. The creamy dill sauce is also available, and their signature preparation (which I have only tasted from my husband’s plate) is the onion crusted fish. A limited but very interesting wine menu (we have yet to order a wine there that did not pair perfectly with the food), and locally crafted beers. A cozy, semi-casual atmosphere. Not inexpensive, but well worth the price. We came with my sister and brother-in-law, who live in Cocoa Beach and wouldn’t normally drive so far for dinner, but they, too, will be back.

    It's nice to know you an count on consistency and high quality, which is hard to find at many restaurants. We love the house specialty of onion crusted fresh fish and typically get the grouper, if available. It's moist with the tasty citrus glaze sauce. It's our favorite place to go for fish in the area.

    What a great dinner. Food and service were excellent. The spinach side dish was amazing and I don’t particularly care for spinach. The main specialty of onion encrusted fish is a must have.

    The food is always consistent and delicious! My husband and I shared the large house salad. It was huge and plenty for both of us to enjoy. I really loved the flavor of the dressing and the extra candied nuts, goat, cheese, and mango. We always go to the Islands Fish Grill, when visiting Melbourne and the onion crusted grouper never disappoints! Absolutely delicious!!! The sides were tasty as well. My husband got the mashed potatoes and fried spinach and I have the garlic Parmesan, Chris, and seasonal veggies. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

    Moved to the area a year ago and have not found a better fish restaurant. Warm and friendly staff. We always bring out of town guests and they are all blown away. Onion crusted is the family favorite and don’t forget to have the spinach! The jerked fish in the dill cream is my new favorite.

    I can't say enough about this place. From the moment you are greeted by the hostess until you step out the door, you are in a delightful sensory realm. The food is wonderfully prepared. The decor is a whimsical cross between Mediterranean and the Little Mermaid. The entire staff is knowledgeable, friendly, warm, and welcoming. We had fun. We had great food. And we can't wait to return.

    Our hostess was very gracious and got us seated quickly. Our server was very personable and helpful and she supplied excellent service. Everybody in our party of five enjoyed their meals. Four of us ordered Mahi, all prepared differently. One of us ordered grouper. The fish was fresh and cooked very well. The side dishes were really good, as well. I will certainly have Islands grille on our short list of go to places.

    We loved our food. Service was good- only one complaint, after server presented bill we had to wait nearly 30 minutes to settle up so we could depart. We actually had to go to host stand to declare we’d like to finish transaction and leave. Was too bad because we really had a good experience prior to the delay.

    We have dined here the past twenty years and often recommended it to guests at the large employer we both worked at. This was always the place to go for fish. Several months prior we weren’t satisfied with our meal and just said it was an off night but the same thing happened again and with the amount being charged feel this place will no longer hold the same fondness and will dine elsewhere.

I advise you to make reservations as the restaurant fills up quickly final thought- leave room for their deserts! Share if you think you are too full! I love this place! Great service also!!!!

The quality of the raw materials was first rate and the preparation just right. We had a great time. Would recommend the Fish Grill without a second thought. They run a first rate establishment.

    Booked an outside table but was not seated outside and seemed they only had 2 tables, where no one was being seated. Would have chosen another place if had known, they need to update this so as not to be misleading.The host was super nice and efficient but service was very slow and the smell in the place was atrocious.. they have some sort of horrible fragrance that I guess is supposed to be an air freshener but if you are sensitive to strong odors, it is over powering. And why does a restaurant need to cover up the smell of their cooking? So weird. The food, once we got it, was good but nothing spectacular. There are so many better options in cute Indialantic, would only go here as a last resort.
