It was delectable . I did not go wrong. They sold everything from regular coffee, espresso, tea, frozen lemonade, wine, beer, frozen, hot chocolate! Also, if you were hungry, they sold a few different kinds of snacks. While you were waiting on your drinks or snacks, they had a whole entire back of the store that you could look at. It had handmade items by local artists. Consisting off of things from necklaces & earrings, to photographs and shell art. What a wonderful eclectic store. I will be back if I'm in the area.

Kind of embarrassing. Considering she'd already been fired from the bar 'Sports' which is right next door. Just upsetting to deal with and she was pretty creepy looking and definitely on drugs. Overall love the place other than that.

He spent a lot of time telling us about the restaurant and the menu which was very helpful. We had the Hawaiian bread, crab cake for appetizers.

The view, aesthetic, staff and food did not disappoint and I highly recommend this place.

We've…read morebeen here multiple times over the years during family vacations, and it always seems to hit well. This time we sat right on the beach, which is really hard to beat. There's just something about having a few drinks, eating with your feet basically in the sand, and looking out at the water that makes the whole experience. We went with the fish and chips, which were good, and had a few drinks while we hung out. Food was solid, drinks were good, and service was good throughout the visit. For us, this place is as much about the memories and atmosphere as it is the food. It's become one of those spots we enjoy coming back to whenever we're in the area, and this visit was no different. Great beach setting, good food and drinks, and another good family memory added to the list.

Also had the lobster crab dip that tasted more like crab - had to hunt for the lobster. They make a very good version of the BVI Painkiller served at Level 1,2 or 3 - depending on 'how much pain you tryin' ta kill.' No evidence that it is authentic Pussers rum, but the flavor was pretty legit with fresh ground nutmeg. The upstairs wasn't open when we arrived for a late lunch. I imagine the view of the ocean is fantastic. I'll look forward to seeing it next time we are in the area.

We started with the carpaccio and artichokes to share: the carpaccio was pretty good, nothing too special. The artichokes were amazing. One of the best artichoke appetizers I've ever had. They were soft and tender and the sauce paired deliciously well. Very unique. I highly recommend trying. Scallop appetizer: the scallops were cooked very well, I thought the caramelized onions were not cooked that memorably, they also weren't my favorite pairing with this dish. The sauce was ok, the scallops were the star, the other components were not the best but I enjoyed the appetizer Shrimp and scallops linguine: (blackened) The shrimp and scallops were very tasty and well cooked. The pasta was al dente and sauce was good, maybe could use a bit of salt but the dish overall was very good. Gnocchi and medallions: the gnocchi was surprisingly good, it's hard to get good gnocchi but these were really good. The sauce was delicious!! And the medallions were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. I'm ordering this again when I come back. Sea bass: really good dish composition. The eggplant and zucchini ratatouille paired really good with the pesto and the mashed potatoes, and the star of the show was the fish, cooked really well and seasoned very nicely (got it blackened). Highly recommend. Brussels sprouts were also a really enjoyable side. I will happily come back :)

Which, by the way, was awesome! Was not sure what to expect from this place that sort of promotes itself as being more pub than high-end restaurant, but DH's shrimp, scampi, and my special of stuffed sole with crab meat was to die for. Definitely recommend.

The service was slow and left a little to be desired, but the food made up for it. Prices were fair. There are more expensive restaurants on the island with worse food. You should go here.

The Buc's game HAPPENED to be delayed for rain with only two minutes left in the game. They would not play the cowboy game with sound since they were waiting on the rain delay for the Buc's. Instead, we had to listen to bar music while we watch the cowboy game on several of the TVs. This is a great place with a great vibe, but they could not make an exception during the rain delay we even suggested that it was OK to put the Buc's game back on once it started back up. They still wouldn't do it. Later they played a few minutes of the second quarter, then suddenly it switched to the Bravo channel (The real Housewives)There weren't very many other games playing on the other TVs. Most of the TVs had the Cowboys game on. Before the second half was over, we found a place down the street that put it on all their tv's with the sound. (Packer Bar). Our server was really sweet and very attentive. The food was excellent as well. Our bartender made me a perfect skinny cosmo. I would come back for food and drinks... just be careful about the game you want to see when you go on game day.

Absolutely -- corrected version:…read more The Doctor's Office was one of those meals where everything we ordered was memorable. Such a cool concept, but more importantly, the food and drinks absolutely delivered. We started with the Lobstercargots -- chunks of lobster baked in herbed garlic butter and served with fresh-baked focaccia for dipping. Forget escargot; this is the way to do it. The bread soaking up that garlic butter might have been worth the trip by itself. The Bistro Blue Tomato Soup was fantastic. Rich, smooth and full of flavor, with the signature syringe of Grey Goose. "Goose the soup!" Great presentation and even better soup. For the main course, the Famous Bistro Bouillabaisse was outstanding. Lobster tail, Gulf shrimp, grouper, mussels and clams in a saffron tomato broth, with more fresh-baked bread for dipping. Beautiful dish and absolutely delicious. And then there's the Street Corn Named Desire cocktail made with butter-washed tequila. What a drink! The street-corn garnish and seasoned rim make it one of the most creative cocktails I've had in a long time -- and it tastes as good as it looks. The Doctor's Office manages to be fun and clever without the concept overshadowing the food. Excellent meal, creative cocktails and great attention to detail. Definitely a place we'll come back to.

I had the PInk Paloma Club with was equally as refreshing as it was garnished beautifullyrics. The food absolutely held its own! The lobstercargot were rich and delicious, the warm brioche rolls with maple butter were dangerously good. We tried both versions of the grouper, our entrées were beautifully presented and packed with flavor, fish cooked perfectly. Everything felt thoughtful and elevated without being stuffy. We had to finish with two dessert cocktails off the "clinical trials" menu, one was a tequila espresso martini, and one was a take on a Dubai chocolate martini. Perfect ending! The atmosphere is cozy, unique, and a little unexpected--exactly the kind of place I love finding while traveling. Definitely worth an "appointment" if you're on Anna Maria Island.
