Island Grill is the kind of place where diners can enjoy the flavors of the islands without the inconveniences of airfare and jet lag. Located inside the Clarion Hotel in San Jose, this tropically themed restaurant boasts a menu filled with familiar Hawaiian flavors and a few unique additions hailing from other island retreats.

San Jose Dining with an Island Twist

Adhering to the Hawaiian cuisine tradition of fusion, Island Grill offers an array of dishes that include influences from Japan, Jamaica, Polynesia and Portugal. From appetizers like ahi maki and Tahitian crab cakes to teriyaki chicken salads to entrées like mango pork chops, Jamaican baby back ribs and the mouthwatering Haliakala Salmon, the robust menu promises a flavorful journey. Anyone who’s truly seeking the quintessential Hawaiian experience can sate his or her craving with the luau favorite, Kalua Pork.

Island Grill also boasts an ample selection of traditional American continental fare for those who are more interested in quality favorites and less interested in experimenting. The All Natural Beef Steak Menu at this Bay Area Hawaiian restaurant features antibiotic- and hormone-free vegetarian corn fed Angus Beef in a variety of succulent cuts. The Pasta Menu at this San Jose restaurant offers traditional favorites like fettuccini, angel hair and jumbo ravioli.

Live Music – Special Occasions – Private Parties

Seeking something a little different post-work? The Island Grill is also home to the Bamboo Lounge. Adding a little Island love to the San Jose nightlife scene, the Bamboo Lounge is a shack-style getaway with enough tropical drinks and thatched island regalia to make Don Ho proud. Live music starting at 9pm entertains Wednesday through Saturday, giving diners a reason to enjoy a round or two in the lounge after a satisfying meal.

Planning a wedding or special event? Island Grill can assist in event planning. Because the Island Grill is nestled just off the lobby of the Clarion Hotel in San Jose, they can be a one-stop shop for wedding rehearsals, graduation dinners and bachelorette/bachelor parties.
