We were a little nervous going to the Waterfront with our two toddlers since their table manners are sometimes lacking but the staff was so sweet to them. The food was great and the portions were large. We sat in the courtyard and were delighted with the atmosphere. The baked brie was divine. Afterwards we went to walk on the... More

The Waterfront Restaurant was simply our best restaurant experience during the week we spent on the island. From our lunch there the first day we arrived, to our last dinner--our final day on the island--everything about this restaurant was excellent. During our two meals we tried a total of five different fish and every one of them was prepared perfectly.... More

We dine at the Waterfront whenever we are in Anna Maria and the food has been really good each time. My only problem is when we are seated in the inside dining room, they put brown butcher paper on top of the tablecloths...how tacky is that?!!! I understand trying to keep the tablecloths clean...but brown butcher paper? That is SO... More

I own a restaurant, so I see things I'm sure others might not notice. This place is consistently good- food and service. The personalities of the servers varies, but it is organized and the servers don't seem overwhelmed, even when it's busy. I ate at several restaurants on this past visit to AMI, but I kept coming back to the... More

The food here is top notch. It is a little more then I spend when I go out, but it is well worth the money. Their fresh bread they serve you with some sort od vinegar reduction for dipping, is delicious. I like the ribeye, absolutely delicious. I had it with mashed potato's and chopped up muchrooms. Fabulous.

I had the crab cake sandwich,which is the very first time I have ever been able to taste crab in a crab cake in America, it was delicious. My husband had the... More

I went with friends today that have never been to Anna Maria Island. I had heard that this place had a great menu and boy was that right on the money. We arrived around noon and the place was packed. We were lucky and we got one of the last tables on the porch. We had a very pleasant waitress... More
