Calamari
Andrea S.

Dinner at Beach House Waterfront Restaurant was lovely! My sister made reservations for 4 of us at 5pm on a Monday night, and we were seated very quickly. Our server was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The food also came out surprisingly fast. We started with the calamari appetizer, which was very fresh and delicious. The only downside was that there were a lot of fried onions and banana peppers mixed in with it, which kind of overwhelmed the calamari a bit. Still, I would definitely recommend it. For our entrées, we had the coconut shrimp and the branzino, and both were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The branzino was filleted perfectly with no bones at all. Our waiter recommended getting it sautéed, and he was absolutely right, it was amazing. For dessert, we ordered the key lime pie to go, but after we left we realized we had accidentally been given caramel cheesecake instead. We went back, and the owner was so kind and accommodating, they gave us the correct key lime pie and let us keep the cheesecake on the house. And honestly, that key lime pie was the best I've had on this mini vacation. I've been ordering key lime pie at every dinner to compare them all, and this one was by far my favorite. It was perfectly tart yet sweet, and the graham cracker crust was incredible. Highly recommend!

Come for the views!!! They have a great island cocktail list and local beers available too. Grab a cocktail while you wait for a table with a view! Food was fresh and delicious. Our server was fun and friendly. We will definitely come here again when visiting the area!

Great experience for 4:00 Linner. Our server Curtis was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent. We had grouper nuggets, PEI mussels and raw oysters. All were perfect. Great views outside.

One of our favorites at AMI and it has valet parking. It was a little strange this visit, however, with seating. We wanted outside or a window and since nothing was available outside for 45 minutes we took the window. As it turned out we were put in the "family room". We were the only couple in there (and seniors on a date). We gave it a try but ended up moving to the bar because we couldn't hear each other. It ended up working out better for us and they were happy to accommodate us. Grateful for the wonderful service and food.

Shrimp scampi
Faith M.

Can't beat the tables in the sand! My shrimp scampi was delicious. Generous amount of shrimp. My pina colada was one of the better ones I had. It was on the thinner side, which I liked. My BF got the rum runner bucket, which he enjoyed but I was not a fan of. I prefer a sweeter RR. My BF had the filet. It was not medium rare as he ordered, and unfortunately it took more than a few minutes for someone to check on us so we could relay this. But the manager came by and had it remade and then made sure it was cooked to my BF's liking. Although I thought our server was pretty good overall, I appreciate when servers notice empty water glasses. He asked me if I wanted another drink but never actually took my empty glass away until the end.

We always have a lovely time here. A perfect evening with a beautiful sunset, the food was amazing as usual, our waitress Deliah was efficient and personable, and overall it was a great experience. We have been coming here for 20 years and will be back!

Last time we were here was a year ago. Imagine our surprise at the menu changes and they were very pricey and it doesn't make sense. I am not paying $42 for a 6oz steak. Fish and chips I believe was $32. The liquor is top tier pricing for bottom shelf liquor. Majority of their menu is seafood now and never noticed any vegan options. We were so disappointed that they no longer serve the coconut cake from "hometown desserts"! That was one of the main reasons we came back to this restaurant. Staff was very nice and blamed corporate for the new changes. I guess the swordfish grill and tiki bar will be our new favorite. Their shrimp tacos are amazing.

Sunset at the Beach House Waterfront Restaurant
Maura C.

Nothing beats the feeling of going out for dinner after a long day at the beach. The Beach House Waterfront restaurant gives off all of the amazing summer & beach vibes as it is located right on the beach with both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy the stunning ocean view from anywhere. Most restaurants on the island don't take reservations in advance, but I love that this restaurant does because it's so nice to have a spot locked down for dinner without wondering if you'll have a 2+ hour wait. Tip: book your reservation around sunset and you will not be disappointed. I went last summer with my family at sunset and the sky was painted a gorgeous pink and orange. Most recently, I dined around 4 pm and there was no wait, so that is also something to keep in mind if you're looking for a nice place to grab a bite to eat, but don't want to worry about a long wait. Now, for the food. My go-to at most beachy/seafood restaurants is some sort of fish taco. I ordered the grouper tacos, which come with a side of fries and coleslaw. They were packed with blackened grouper, mango salsa, cheese, and a fresh lime sauce. The food was very hot and quite a big portion, so depending on your appetite these tacos could definitely be shared as one taco came with a large piece of grouper.

Perfect family night or date night spot! The food and views were incredible, I've been wanting to come here and it is worth the hype! Bobbie took care of us and we will be coming back to see her.

Coconut Shrimp entree
Dr. Richard M.

Had dinner here with family after a day on Cortez beach. Large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Was raining heavy and outside was too wet to sit . Large seafood and cocktail menu. Food and service were very good Coconut shrimp is a must have. You can order as an appetizer or entree. We tried the Hawaiian rolls with coconut butter appetizer which was very good. Some entrees my family ordered were shrimp scampi pasta, stuffed haddock, pesto pasta. They have a full bar as well as specialty cocktails, all were well made. The only parking is valet (free).

Grouper Sandwich
Lisa H.

The view service and food are excellent! Prompt and friendly service sitting right on the water. We had the grouper tacos, grouper sandwich, steak tacos and clam chowder - all excellent!!

Any tips for getting a seat outside? How early do you have to get there for dinner to sit outside on a Monday?

Mondays are going to be slower than most other days, but during the busy season, slower is still a relative term. My best suggestion is to figure out what time sunset is on the day you want to come. For instance, tonight it is at 6:30 pm.… Read more

Can we use the beach in front of the restaurant for the day if we plan to eat lunch there? How would we get access to the beach? Can we park at The Beach House or is there a place close to there?

Beach access is only a few steps away. It's a public beach. There is a walkway from the outside patio to the beach.

Just moved to the area and this was our first time here and everything from the start was…read moreimpeccable. First off, valet guy was super nice. We parked down the block and walked over since we were early for our reservation. I love where they seated us (in the corner away from the bar and other tables). I don't think I'd want to sit anywhere else when we go back! Waiter was immediately on it with explaining specials and checked in with us frequently/filled waters. He recommended a Pinot noir based on what I told him I liked and I really enjoyed it. I also showed him a picture from Yelp of what I wanted for dinner and he told me how it would be a little different. I chose that dish and I wasn't disappointed. We literally scraped our plates clean. This was our first night out alone I a long time and I'm so happy we had such a great ambiance and dinner. Husband was confused with his dish (he thought the pesto was going to have pieces of zucchini and squash) instead it was puréed into the sauce with pieces of spinach. He still enjoyed it and said it felt lighter and healthier (not too oily). He also wished for more bread. Thanks for taking care of us Coasties! We will be back especially for that steak (cooked perfectly)!

The good things: I thought the place was clean, had nice…read moreseating, and the service was good. Everyone was very friendly. The cons: Unfortunately I was disappointed with my meal. I had the linguine with vodka sauce and added blackened chicken. The chicken was extremely dry and I was unable to finish it. The serving size of pasta I also found to be small especially for quite a high price point. The price point of the entire menu I think is also much too high for what you are getting. The edamame gyoza were only 4 in one dish and we also shared the hummus board which was very small for an expensive price. I think they should definitely be re-evaluating how their menu is priced for their portions and the meals themselves.

I feel like the drinks used to be a lot more creative from what I saw on their socials and from what my friend said who went back in the day it used to be more of a speakeasy elevated cocktail vibe versus a tiki/dive bar vibe. We had to ask for the chips that are supposed to be given complimentary and then we ordered bread and soup which literally took an unnecessary like 30 mins or more to come out as we watched the people on both sides of us get their full meals before us when we got items that just had to be reheated. The tomato soup was very good once it finally came out, the rolls were good but nothing as great as the hype in my opinion for the menu. The drinks were good but honestly the starter shot given at the bar was my favorite which was a hibiscus Pom margarita which I ended up getting fully as my second drink. Service started out hot but then went downhill but that is unfortunately the standard of when gratuity is already included in a check. Then when it came time to pay it got weird when there was a simple mix up when my friend intentionally overpaid even with gratuity involved in her check and the bartender asked her if she wanted change and she said yes but never brought it back. My friend gave 3 - 20s on a $38 check (gratuity) already in but she wanted to tip a few more dollars because she is a very generous person and then when she asked about her change that's when it got weird and the bartender made it seem like she didn't understand why she wanted change instead of just apologizing for the mistake and they went back and forth for a few minutes with the bartender ending up just giving her the extra $20 back. Just left a weird taste in our mouths for the experience when I feel like any bartender would understand what she wanted to do with giving extra larger bills to split especially when she said she wanted change and it was a massive overpayment or if the thought there was a very generous tip like 30% would make sure with guest that's what they want and show appreciation if that were the case. It was just weird how it all was handled. The decor was on point for Christmas and the vibe was very casual but oldie vibes which makes sense for it being in Anna Maria island.
