WATERFRONT RESTAURANT – Seafood
A step from the turquoise water on South Bay Boulevard in Anna Maria, with a breeze through the room and a menu that punches above its beach-town setting. Baked brie and calamari to start, then scallops with pork belly, shrimp and grits, grouper cakes, grouper tacos under pineapple slaw, chicken parmesan, and mac and cheese buried in BBQ pork. Ahi tuna sashimi for the lighter table, and vegan options that servers can actually talk you through. Portions are sensible, the ingredients taste fresh, and families are properly accommodated. Expect a wait, because the island knows about this one.
