Great view of Tampa Bay and the Sunshine Bridge is only the beginning at this wonderful local seafood restaurant on Anna Maria Island. The food choices at the Waterfront are fantastic. From wonderful fresh soups and salads to gourmet meals, salmon and steak. The Waterfront located in Anna Maria City also offers vegetarian choices as well that are made fresh and homemade right at the restaurant. Waterfront of Anna Maria Island is famous for their delicious fish taco appetizer and outdoor seating taking advantage of the wonderful bay views. The giant fish tank that separates the main dining room from the bar area is beautiful and adds charm to the dining experience.
The Waterfront restaurant also offers a wonderful selection of beers and wine from all over the world. UPDATE: The Waterfront now serves liquor and phenomenal cocktails. If you are in the mood for something new, ask one of the friendly bartenders for some suggestions. My wife loves the Jalapeno Margarita.
The wait staff of the waterfront in Anna Maria city is always inviting and prompt with their service. If you are in the mood for great service, great views of the bay, excellent food, this is the place for you to come as a family or as a couple. One last note, try the lobster bisque, trust us, you wont be sorry. It melts in your mouth.

This is by far our favorite restaurant on the island! Hubby and I crave their Grouper Sandwiches when we’re back home in Colorado. They’re good any way – fried, blackened, grilled….so good!
Great location too but parking can sometimes be a tiny bit of a pain – the food is SOOO worth it though!

GEEE, sound familar, they must write their own reviews
Weird – Andersen must have copied my review – because I left the first one – still our fave place to eat 🙂
Thank you Carrie
My wife and son have been to Anna Maria Island several times and we plan to revisit our favorite place when we are back down there for our vacation this year. Always great food, great service and perfect views.
Thank you.
Agreed, The Waterfront is one of my favorite restaurants on Anna Maria! If you ever have the chance to meet the owners, they are great people, too, which only enhances the experience. If your family likes to drink, be sure to stop by on Thursdays for their weekly wine (or occassionally beer) tasting.
Thanks for the comment Paul!
