Lunch here was our first meal on our recent trip to the island. Our server was great went out of the way for our kids by mellowing down the honey mustard. I had the grouper sandwich, my wife had the grouper tacos. Well worth the significant price. The rest of the restaurants we went to on the island didn't hold... More

Great place! We've enjoyed all the meals we've had. Father's day 2013 was another great meal & service. Skip the Mermaid & enjoy a better meal here! IMO~

Loved this restaurant. Sat outdoors and the fans provided a nice breeze. The lobster bisque was rich and creamy. A cup was just enough. My daughter had the grouper sandwich and it was wonderful. Great wait staff as well.

After reading all reviews as foodies we decided to go for an after the beach early dinner meal. Appetizers were delicious as well presentation: Sashimi, calamari and mussels. Salmon and Cobia are excellent. The waitress was nice but needs training, never suggested any wines, doesn't know how to explain the menu. We never got more drinks or deserts since she... More

This is the first time we have eaten here although we had been to AMI before. The food was the best we have eaten on any of our previous trips to Florida. I haven't read all the reviews but it deserves it's top spot as far as dining goes. Great location - yes you do overlook a car park ,... More

We ate here during our vacation in June. We reserved a table as we know it gets busy here and were glad we did as others were either waiting in line or being turned away. The food was really nice, four of us dined and all enjoyed, I had seafood pasta whilst my OH had filet mignon. The service was... More

We went to the Waterfront restaurant, right on the Bay in Anna Maria. We ate on the outside covered patio. It has ceiling fans and floor fans, so it was not uncomfortable. One of us had the Jambalaya with chicken and sausage, he had requested no seafood. My wife had a large fresh salad with a crab cake. She said... More

I don't want to sound like so many of the other reviews, but we ate here on our last night of vacation and wished that it had been our first night. If it had been the first night, we would definitely go back. But that will have to wait for the next vacation to this area. Our server was Laura,... More

Great staff - our waitress knew how food was prepared and answered any questions we had. Four of us ordered four different dinners and all were pleased with the result. The Grouper Oscar $23 was very good, the Bay Boulevard Sampler (lightly blackened) $25 was good as well. We arrived as soon as the doors opened for dinner and enjoyed... More

This has been a tried and tested favourite for many years. It has a good range with in the menu and it is one of the more expensive restaurants on the island. Favourite starters (amazing actually) are the 'fried green tomatoes' and the 'baked bree' and these should be shared between two! An evening at the waterfront will most certainly... More
