Best Seafood Restaurants in Anna Maria Island

The Valentine's Day meal special was stupendous. The salad and soup appetizers were to die for. The surf and turf main entre was off the charts. The filet was cooked to perfection, and the lobster was sweet, succulent, and tender. It was cooked perfectly as well. The grand finale dessert was yummy. The fruit, chocolate, whipped cream, and ice cream combination was a delightful ending to a wonderful dining experience. The chocolate covered strawberry was my favorite! Even the presentation was impressive. It was a meal that I would never have imagined or expected at a laid-back Waterfront Florida restaurant. It was comparable to a 5-star steak house experience. The price was reasonable as well. I only wish there was an appropriate wine list to complement this exquisite meal. Our server was very attentive to our needs as well, and we tipped her handsomely. Kudos to Executive Chef Ken Gilcrest. Wishing you great success under new management. We'll be back!

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Dry Dock for Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was busy but the team had everything under control. We were greeted immediately and taken care of promptly at the bar for cocktails as we waited a very short time for our table. Our server was informative and efficient and went above and beyond to make us feel at home and understand the menu. Our food was amazing The snapper served right off the grill and the side veggies perfectly cooked. The jambalaya was piping hot and delicious. No room for dessert this time but the key lime pie was so tempting! 5 ⭐️

Ocean Prime has wonderful food and service. Rebecca was awesome! It was our anniversary and we were greeted with a glass of complimentary champagne when we entered. We sat in the outside section that is covered and has screens, ceiling fans and heaters for all types of weather. I’m not sure how warm it would be on a warm summer evening, but it was perfect last night. The noise level where we were seated was fine, but as we left we noticed the noise inside was quite loud. There were alot of people at the bar which probably contributed to that. As a senior, I’m not sure sitting inside would be pleasant for those that may have difficulty hearing. Our view was good but they are beginning to construct a large condo building right next door to the restaurant. So I have concerns about the view while they continue to build and am unsure what it will look like when the construction is complete. And while everything was almost perfect, the price is also out of this world. For 2 people to have a couple of drinks, one appetizer, 2 mains with sides and 2 desserts, and parking, the price was almost $500 before tip. All that said, it was a wonderful anniversary dinner. Thank you Ocean Prime!

The Bridge Street Bistro is arguably one of the best places on the island for food, drink, and gathering with friends. We are locals, and it’s our go to place not just for the food, but for those there who take care of us- they are like family.

Waitress was phenomenal! Sadly forget her name. We had reservations right at sunset, they were completely packed and still got us in right on time. Drinks were ok but to be fair we each tried “out of the box” options for ourselves so we when we return we’ll be giving those another shot. The grouper sandwich was right hand to god one of the best fish sandwiches I’ve had in my life. I’ve written 2 reviews my whole life but that sandwich alone made me want to express my gratitude and appreciate for the beautiful staff and crew at this location. Will be returning !
