“One of my favorite spots on the island is this place, especially when Olivia is our server. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, she knows just how to lift my spirits; I can't stand boring servers. The street tacos are fantastic, and the nachos are a must. The margaritas are always strong and never watered down. Thanks for the great experience, Olivia and team!“

“If you're seeking a dining experience that encapsulates the essence of Anna Maria Island's laid-back charm, look no further than Beach House. Nestled right by the shore, this gem offers more than just exquisite cuisine; it delivers an unforgettable rendezvous with nature's splendor. Picture this: a breathtaking sunset painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, waves gently caressing the shore, and you, comfortably seated at a table nestled in the soft sand kicking off your flip flops because, why not? That's the magic Beach House brings to the table, quite literally. Speaking of which, the fish dishes at Beach House are nothing short of sensational. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, expertly crafted to showcase the freshness of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs. We ordered the swordfish and the grouper special and each dish surpassed our expectations and left us craving more. The cocktails were fabulous as well. But what truly elevated our dining experience was the impeccable service provided by Brenda, our server extraordinaire. Warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, she guided us through the culinary delights with grace and charm. Not only did she ensure that our dining needs were met with precision, but she also went above and beyond to share insider tips and recommendations for exploring the island's hidden gems. Brenda's genuine enthusiasm for the dishes and the local area added an extra layer of hospitality that made our visit truly unforgettable. In essence, Beach House isn't just a restaurant; it's an invitation to indulge in the simple pleasures of life, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of genuine hospitality. Whether you're a local looking for a new favorite spot or a visitor seeking an authentic taste of Anna Maria Island, a visit to Beach House promises an experience that will linger in your memory long after the sun has set.“

“The food was delicious with very generous portions. The daiquiri’s were so good! The service was great and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this place!“

“Paula makes the most delicious vegan comfort food. I am NOT a vegan, and I still love everything she makes. The Cuban sandwich and Mac and Cheez are my favorites, as well as the Brussels sprouts. Be sure to check out some of the tasty desserts and the purple butterfly tea as well.

The restaurant is located in Palmetto in a cute historic building, which is always fun to visit. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or carnivore, I highly recommend visiting Happy Soul!“

“5/5 stars! Oak & Stone exceeded my expectations in every way! The rooftop bar was incredible, with stunning views of the Twin Dolphin Marina! But what really made our visit stand out was the exceptional service from the bartenders. Tessa was hands down the best bartender I've ever had - she was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Taylor was also great, providing excellent service with a smile. The drinks were crafty and delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. We can't wait to come back and enjoy another night out at Oak & Stone's rooftop bar!“

We tried this place the week they opened a couple of years ago and were apprehensive when we saw the exterior and the location. We walked in and the smell was amazing and it was classy looking inside. They staff was so friendly. The food was delicious. We have been going back ever since.“

I have been going to Danny's Pizzeria for years until the new ownership happened, ate once, twice, three times then never again. Now that Danny is back, I am sure it will be a weekly event once again. Had lunch 12/10/22, service was 100% top notch, and the food was excellent, as it once was! Thank you for coming back!“

“Oh where to start!
We were vacationing in Anna Maria for our 10th year and Beach Bistro was recommended for my birthday outing.
We called ahead and found that you have 2 choices here- the 4 course Dinner in main dining room- or- a la carte from bar area.
We chose the latter.
It was beautiful in looks right off. Old wood, low ceilings etc. Very warm and inviting!

Greeted by our bartender who was so gracious and kind.
Led us through anything we asked and made a fabulous drink !
We enjoyed those 2 hours more than we could say.
The food was one good bite after another !
We started with a fresh salad, then an appetizer of shrimp & crab which were perfect.
Entree was Lobster tail and Grouper. All fantastic!
The dessert was vanilla ice cream rolled in pralines topped with slivered almonds and Frangelica!
Still thinking of that now!

Cannot wait to go back next year as this is our new place to be !“

“Huge portions. Everything we tried was tender and fall off the bone. Best fried catfish I've had“

“Amazing Cuban Sandwich and very friendly staff!“

“Always stop here when we are in town. It's not the fanciest or probably the best food but it's locally owned and something unique to the area. Always love supporting smaller businesses and have always had great service while eating at a place with a unique atmosphere“

“Best meal we had on vacation. Party of 6 and it was unanimous. We all agreed this place was amazing. We had 2 people with gluten allergies and they were both astonished at how much was available for them. They both safely ate until they were stuffed full! We all did really! Every single thing was delicious and authentic. We already agreed it will be a staple when we come down again! Probably at least 2 times a trip!“

“The owner was working in the shop this morning. She knows about her products, and it is hard to make a protein smoothie taste good and have low sugar. Maxx Nutrtion exceeded my expectations with the 76 gram protein shake I got, and it also only had 12 grams of sugar. That’s a big deal in the shake world. Thanks!“

“Two of us dined this past Friday evening and service was stellar. We sat outside and enjoyed the scenery and fun interaction with our server. I bring out-of-town guests regularly, and always have a very delicious and enjoyable meal. Staff, facility and surroundings are superb! Thank you.“

“The restraunt is on the 8th floor allowing for spectacular views of the Manatee River. It’s been open 1 month. Hostess & servers were attentive. Presentation of the food was lovely. Beverages:Eighth floor & Palomita Fresa (pink) were delightful. Wagyu carpaccio ( tasty) Caribbean lobster bisque ( chunks of lobster) , Wagyu filet & lobster, Wagyu filet & crab cake ( the filet could be cut with a butter knife. Lots of crab) , Brussel sprouts ( I would pass on ordering at next visit) lobster Mac & cheese ( chunks of lobster and flavorful) tropical paradise ( a bit of tart & cream paired) & Chocolate Praline Truffle ( rich & indulgent). Kitchen to table was not rushed, a lil longer delay than expected. We weren’t in hurry and were there for the experience.“

“Never been here before and I loved it

I was greeted and explained everything by a very kind woman working the preparation station.

The food was phenomenal and she advised me well

The jalapeño relish was very tasty in my burrito“

“We had a great meal. The pho flank steak was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful.“

“The overall service use to be amazing at this Olive Garden. We have come here several times over the years and this is the worst front staff I’ve ever experienced. I checked in and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and told them that I had people coming but instead of seating us after 25 minutes passed I came up to ask the pregnant hostess if they were waiting for my party or something because we’ve been waiting and she was like oh yeah yeah we are without so much as looking at me or apologizing for the wait. There were several of them up there that were just laughing and joking around unprofessionally and the pregnant hostess was eating up there talking with the other ladies at the podium while they ignored us. She disappeared completely for several minutes and after 30 minutes I asked a girl who showed up if we were going to be seated because my party was waiting. She said she would check because she just got there. She went to find the pregnant hostess and told her we were waiting 30 minutes and my daughter overheard her denying it. I’m just not used to that at any restaurant. If you tell me 15 minutes and it’s not busy in there then we have better be seated whether we are waiting for people to arrive or not. It put me in such a terrible mood that I wanted to leave but thankfully our waiter came right away and was amazing. He was very attentive and kind and I felt he deserved a good tip. What made me write this review was when we left there were a gaggle of women at the front with the pregnant hostess and we all noticed that they just stared at us and didn’t say the usual thank you have a good night. No one bothered to politely open the door like they have always done for us in the past. You just knew that they we’re talking bad about you. If this is what this Olive Garden restaurant is turning into then I have to stop coming. I don’t know what’s up with those women but this is their place of work not a place to gossip and bullshit about their life or talk shit about their paying customers who are there to be treated with some measure of respect and kindness when they are out with their family for dinner. I hope a manager sees this review and addresses this issue of plain rudeness. We are also not white and so obviously white people were being treated better and seated immediately. By the way, our pregnant hostess was black but for some reason thinks it’s ok to be rude to us. If this ever happens to us again, a complaint will definitely be filed to your corporate management or the BBB. I will not tolerate this behavior in front of my family.“

“Best live music venue around!“

“always look forward to going , menu is great waitress Laura goes above and beyond to make sure her customers are happy“
