The Waterfront Restaurant - Anna Maria (FL)

5 /5 Cindy Joelle Hollenbach: Stopped here by luck while on a day trip while on vacation in Siesta Key and exploring the barrier Island. This place is a must. Delicious food, amazing views and wonderful & friendly team! I wish this place was close to my home, I would be a regular! My family of 5 all loved their food! Calamari, Lobster Bisque, Burger, Mac and Cheese, Grouper Taco and Desserts were all hits.

5 /5 Dmitry K: A lovely spot on a beautiful island. The menu is huge, and the food quality is excellent. Portions are massive and very filling, so you get what you pay for. Great drink selection, too! It’s popular and loud. Expect crowds and an evening queue to get in. Like most island spots, it’s not cheap, but the quality and quantity make it worth every dollar.

5 /5 Jen Rae: The location, the staff, and the food were all great. Recommend the scallop and pork belly fried rice and don’t sleep on the dipping sauce for the bread, and the calamari. So delicious. Atmosphere was so warm and cozy.

5 /5 Michelle Moore: We went here for dinner while on vacation in AMI and had to return for lunch the next day it was THAT good. We were beyond pleased with our service, Julian in the evening and Dave in the afternoon. Both servers were so attentive and gave us all that we could need for before even asking. We sat perfectly situated by the fireplace overlooking the water. The interior is gorgeous and the food is mouthwatering. So happy to leave pretty Florida on this nourishing and fulfilling note. Ambiance, music, service, food, view, cleanliness- it is just unmatched to anything you’ll find on the island. The grouper tacos were incredible and fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese were also a hit. We certainly found our new favorite spot down south!

5 /5 Kate S: This is a very popular restaurant - we waited about half an hour for a table, but it was worth it. We were seated on the back patio, which felt cozy and lively. The service was great, the seafood menu was excellent, and the portions were generous. A perfect spot to enjoy dinner with family or friends while vacationing on this beautiful island.
