River Island Grilling Company Serves Up Fresh-Grilled Cuisine at Orange Lake

The River Island Grilling Company restaurant has opened at Orange Lake Resort & Country Club, and is located at the resort’s new 12-acre River Island recreational complex. The eighth restaurant at Orange Lake, the Grilling Company is already creating a stir with a distinctive menu, drink specials and an ambience like nothing previously seen at the resort.

Created by renowned restaurateurs Chris and Debbie Fragale, the River Island Grilling Company seats more than 200, and features a menu of fresh-grilled entrees, including steak and seafood, as well as cuisine inspired by the islands and Asian influences.
“We take great pride in our creativity and focus on quality,” says Debbie Fragale. “Our goal is to create a fun and festive atmosphere appealing to all ages and lifestyles—and that's what we've done with River Island Grilling Company.”

Famous for the BallyHoo Grill Restaurants, the Fragale family has perfected the “Floribbean” feel—an ambience and attitude inspired by Key West and the Bahamas. Floribbean style is reflected in the restaurant’s décor, as well as on the menu. Specialty dishes include Chilean Seabass, North Atlantic Cedar Plank Salmon, Key West Shrimp, Filet Mignon and many other enticing selections. Also available are a number of souvenir t-shirts and other merchandise for guests to commemorate their visit to the River Island Grilling Company.

Tradewinds Bar, located just outside of the River Island Grilling Company restaurant, offers patrons appetizers and drinks, live entertainment and sweeping views of the tropical River Island village.

The Fragale family manages a number of local restaurants that include City Fish Seafood Grill and ChopHouse in Oldsmar, Florida, and Ozona Blue, a casual tiki-style restaurant located at the Gulf Coast's largest marina.

Orange Lake is excited about offering this new culinary experience to its owners and guests and expects the River Island Grilling Company to be one of the resort’s most successful restaurants.
