The Waterfront Anna Maria

I believe they have altered the recipe for their bread.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! There were 9 of us in our group and we all agreed that it was the best restaurant we visited during our vacation in Anna Maria. The calamari and lobster bisque were both delicious starters. We also really enjoyed the cocktails - the Smoked Margarita was a standout. The Frutti Di Mare and the Shrimp Alfredo (which was a special that night) were our favorite entrees. And the mushroom risotto was also incredibly tasty. We highly recommend this restaurant!

The food was excellent and the service was friendly. Bridgette was our server and she was very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She was correct, the Mai Tai was one of the best I've had outside of Hawaii.

Our initial impression was not a good one. There was apparently a mixup as to which server had our table. We finally had to ask for a server. Then our server forgot about us again. So it took about 35-40 minutes just to get our drinks. After that, our server was very attentive and recovered well. Our meals were very good, and an accommodation was made to our bill for the initial inconvenience. Service snafus do happen from time to time, so I would still recommend the Waterfront and return myself, based on the quality of the food, the ambiance and how well they handled recovery from our initial service issue.

Our server Joe was great! Attention, timely, and informative with suggestions. Thanks
