We have gone here for years. Thank you to Ed and Andrea Spring for a consistent great effort and preparation of wonderful food! It is and always has been the best place on Anna Maria. The food is consistently wonderful. I still love the island decor with the little rooms, it's very cozy and personal. I especially love the garlic... More

Ate here for Mother's Day Brunch. Had to wait quite a while for a table and then, once seated, discovered tons of empty tables inside. Crew was rushing around and there was no peace or quiet while dining. Restroom was filthy and our meals (omelet and fish tacos), were mediocre.

Always the same, always PERFECT. Ed and his wife plus his staff are 5 star. Come one, come all. Wouldn't change a thing.

I am trying not to exaggerate, but we think we have just returned from the best seafood dinner we have ever had. Joan and I dined this evening at the Sign of the Mermaid on Anna Maria Island, Florida. We live in Washington, DC and have many excellent restaurants to compare. Also, on Saturday evening we dined at Beach Bistro,... More

Hidden in an old cottage style house on anna maria island is the best restaurant i have been to in years. I recommend the stuffed french toast for breakfast. It is rich and made with fresh berries. Out of this world. Then for dinner some of the freshest fish anywhere on the island. The Swordfish Cordon Bleu is what i... More

Amazing Service. Awesome Dinner and dessert. Every experience has been fabulous. Can't wait to return with friends. Ed Spring does an outstanding job.
