Nancy McAleerDecember 30, 2013Our favourite restaurant in Anna Maria. Best fish tacos and lots more on the menu for every palette in your party.
Tyler HerringSeptember 8, 2014Just moved to FL in July and I've already eaten here 4 times. Great menu with excellent nighty specials. Also a great cocktail menu as well. All this plus a view of the bay and 10 steps from beach.
Michael TchouOctober 15, 2015Grouper tacos were excellent! Sit outside and enjoy the view of the waterfront or sit inside and check out the fish tank
Paleo JMarch 22, 2019I have an Rx diet and the waitress was very helpful modifying it for me so that I could have an appropriate meal. The food quality is good and the restaurant is very nice. It’s worth the money.
Yvette MasonNovember 20, 2022The winter salad (you can add protein) is delish! Drinks are great. Pricey. Great staff😀 and very lovely hostess.
Tim RistowJanuary 19, 2013Had a great time! Food was great, service attentive.... Overall very happy. Server hustled to take care of our party of eight, and we appreciated it. Owner/manager checked on us too. Recommend!- Marty ParusMarch 29, 2021Compliments to the chef for preparing our fresh fish catch of Sea Bass and Spanish Mackerel! Great Service, food and drinks and view!!
- Joy MislevySeptember 21, 2023Server, Patricia was friendly and efficient. The fried Green Tomato stack was awesome. Nice view of the bay and pier
- Ingrid BaillieJuly 6, 2020Fried green tomatoes are excellent! Seafood risotto was wonderful- full of seafood and andouille sausage- did not disappoint!
Leslie KokeshOctober 5, 2013EXCELLENT menu, fun bar, great bartenders and servers! Try the Hendricks Garden for a fresh, innovative drink:)
Luisa BustamanteAugust 29, 2016Wine by the glass watery! Order a bottle instead and have them open it table side;)
Debby ButlienMarch 24, 2023No reservations so need to put your name in 2hrs+ for prime dinner time. Less of a wait earlier.
Tenacious BrewhouseApril 15, 2018Somewhat disappointing this time. Normally this is outstanding with a great view and location however the server was not attentive and mixed up or dinner orders plus the food was his average
Dawg HouseApril 6, 2012Grabbed "to go" Parm crusted Scallops on bed of Romaine...AMAZING!!! Tons of fresh bay scallops. Yum!!
Tamara NicolaJanuary 22, 2012Great wait staff and delicious food! Served hot, cooked perfectly...yum! Don't miss it!
