Brought the family here while on vacation, as we have for the past ten years, and the service was awful, and the food quality has gone downhill. This has always been a highlight of every trip to Anna Maria, but we were very disappointed.
Our server, who may or may not have been the new owner, was inattentive, and when she accidentally brought another appetizer we did not order, she put it on our bill any way. The roast pork dish was very bland, and the jerked grouper, which I have had many times, was not good. While the atmosphere and general decor are the same, and are generally pleasant, the overall dining experience has been disappointing
This place has been consistently good over the years. We stopped in for lunch not long ago and I kind of like eating lunch there better. It is nice and quiet at lunch time. Our party ordered fish tacos, gator tacos, fried grouper sandwich, crab fries, and corn fritters. If I had to do it over again, I would order the macadamia nut encrusted fried grouper sandwich. It looked fantastic...and I managed to get a bite. It was amazing. The fish tacos were great. A word of warning you only get two tacos per taco order. And the the prices are a little pricey. My suggestion, stop in get the fried grouper sandwich and some crab fries. The crab fries are just french fires coated in old bay seasoning. Who knew? Old bay and french fries go together like a house on fire. Do yourself a favor when vacationing AMI, and stop in here. It is legit!
