Surf and Turf
Kristina M.

I do recommend that you get a reservation, especially if you can request seating outside around dinner time so you can enjoy your meal while seeing the sunset. This was an absolutely amazing experience that my family got to have on Christmas Day. Our server was very kind and took care of us. The food was delicious. I loved how it was prepared and sent out in a timely manner. We were not steered wrong. Overall, this experience was quite lovely. The hostess was very kind along with the servers. They kept this restaurant very clean. Definitely check out Bridge Street Bistro.

Strawberry ice cream sandwich

Genuinely felt bamboozled after booking on OpenTable. The photos made it seem like this place was a fine-dining seafood on the beach... not so much. Our food was disappointing -- I sent the grouper back twice because of quality. The $18 shrimp cocktail was 4 shrimp on a plate. Just not great at all. The staff was friendly and helpful. And the strawberry ice cream sandwich was super yummy!

This is medium?

I was excited to try something that seemed a bit nicer than the typical beach restaurants we've been to. If this meal had been the same price as the others, it would be fine, but we paid a lot for just okay food. I ordered the surf & turf ($48) and my daughter ordered the espresso-rubbed steak ($46). We both ordered them medium, and they were both well done. The Brussels sprouts were great. The risotto was bland, even after adding a lot of extra salt & pepper. The blackberry martini was fantastic, as was the service. But if you're charging that much for a steak, it should be at least close to cooked properly. I would've sent mine back if the rest of my party hadn't been halfway done eating by the time the server checked in (not the server's fault; the others just ate very quickly & I didn't want to hold everyone up).

from the moment we walked in the hostess was rude and univiting. took 15 minutes to even get water at the table and then when they came she only brought two. food was bland and overpriced. one of the bussers started to clear our table while we were sitting still and hit my brother in laws elbow down purposefully so he could reach a plate. rude, uninviting and gross food. would not recommend. lastly it smelled like straight poop (disgusting i know). purely honest review so u DONT WASTE UR TIME!!! xoxo - gossip girl

View from third floor deck
Wood W.

Had a lovely Thanksgiving meal from this floor deck overlooking the Gulf. They were able to fit us in when I called for reservations. I later found out they are on Open Table as well. Buffet felt a little expensive at $40 but it had carved beef, turkey, salmon, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. We decided to order off menu for slightly more per person but got great filet mignon and lobster surf and turf. Thanks for a great Thanksgiving!

My third time back here. First time was with Peggy's cousin and we went out on the deck had an awesome time. Second time my better have to decide not to join me and said bring something back good. Which I did grand slam home run This time we were out for a walk downtown. We wandered over here and I took her up for a view. The staff was handling a guest as we came in and did an excellent job. We were too early to seat at 5 o'clock when they started seating, had no reservation, and they set one for 5 o'clock . Oh well was me, we had a wait at the bar. I was heartbroken. The bartender served up a Mount Gay so much for being heartbroken. My girlfriend Peggy just rolled her eyes again. So I was looking at where we were going to be setting and it was very quiet out there unlike the bar there was a couple customers that were very loud I got on my knees and pleaded for mercy to be seated outside now before the 5 o'clock witching hour. The hostess was very gracious and understood the problem at the bar. She moved us outside. Peggy with her iced tea and me with Mount Gay Rum. Perfect a great ocean view. We had our beverages. I had this awesome looking woman sitting across from me. What more could a fella want? 5 o'clock showed up soon enough. My drink was half gone. I was thinking about the walk home should I enjoy another one of their beverages? I'll defer that answer for now. So 5 o'clock came and so did our waitress. She took an order for the fried cauliflower. It's awesome! Peggy said she doesn't know how we're going to eat our entrée? I said no problem will take it home with us the cauliflower that is although I just noticed she's sneaking more bites instead of saving it for the take-home. I had to shake my finger at her. She stuck her tongue out at me. I'm gonna quit now while I'm ahead. I did enjoy the seafood mac & cheese. And would get it again. We took home a piece of Keylime pie. Should've got two pieces it was that good. We're coming to the end of our travels here on Ana Maria Island. It will probably be a year before we get back again. Lots of great places to go. Hopefully your journey is good and you enjoy a meal here. It will be well worth your time.

We enjoy eating here every time we visit the island! We make sure we have dinner here to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays. The view is spectacular and the food and service keep us going back regularly! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Highly recommend and can't wait until our next visit!

We stopped for a few pre-dinner drinks on the suggestion of friends and were blown away. Literal…read moreworks of art.

Have been wanting to go to this place for years and finally went and unfortunately it was…read moreunderwhelming. 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.

Loud and luxurious. That's the best way I can describe this…read morerestaurant. I was caught off-guard as we approached, wondering had I made a mistake. But the loud atmosphere meant that everyone present was enjoying themselves. And soon we'd find out why. We were greeted very warmly by the host and led to our table which was decorated beautifully for my friend's birthday (yay!). We started with the Lamb Chop Lollipops which were amazing! I'd love to have an entree of those babies! For entrees I ordered the burger, which honestly wasn't worth mentioning. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable either. Just a burger. The star of the evening was the Snapper entree. For a little context, we had snapper at another restaurant, which my friend said was very good, but her face seemed only mildly pleased. When she took one bite of the Chateau Anna Maria snapper, she had the biggest smile on her face that she couldn't contain! I think the word she used was 'foodgasm.' I agreed, wishing I'd ordered it too. And if that weren't enough, they brought out a beautiful birthday donut served on its own little table complete with chocolate, caramel, and strawberry dipping sauces. Such a great touch! As we headed out we had some great conversation with a manager and a regional manager who happened to be in town. Both were delightful to talk to. As we exited, one of the bussers was playing the piano in the lobby. Overall a great experience, and we will be back if we're in the area!

Parking can be tricky but available. Tables vary from family style to banquettes and high tops. There is a full bar with ample seating. Florida casual attire, after all you're on an island. I started with the French Onion Soup and my husband had the escargot. Both were excellent. For dinner, I truly enjoyed the Chateaubriand which is served atop of a carrot purée and their own potato au gratin made with Bleu cheese. These unique potatoes are pie cut and blend perfectly with the meat. It's a symphony for your tastebuds. Dessert was the owner, Buddy, mom's Ricotta Cheesecake. Homemade, Yes! Decadent, Smooth and Delicious, Oh my Yes! Want more, Definitely Yes! This restaurant is a hidden treasure. Yes, it is priced at a higher rate than most restaurants in the area, but the quality and service is also at a higher standard unlike any in our area. A wonderful combination of relaxed, unpretentious and fine dining. Where friends can gather, families can make memories and love stories are built. We need them back in Sarasota. Make the reservation, take the drive to the island, to escape your reality for a couple of hours of the best meat and seafood dishes in a unique restaurant. Guarantee you will leave as part of the family.
