Best Lunch Restaurants in Anna Maria

I’ve been coming to this charming spot on Anna Maria Island every morning for coffee and pastries, which are always fresh and delicious. The warm and welcoming service has turned my mornings into a daily highlight. Recently, I decided to try dinner here, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The food was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The service was just as fantastic in the evening—attentive, friendly, and professional. The ambience is another standout feature. Whether it’s the soft lighting or the relaxing island vibe, it creates the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. This place is a great, whether you’re stopping in for breakfast or a leisurely dinner. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious the server (Jeremiah) was amazing!! The manager was also amazing(I can't remember his name) the 2 girls at the front desk horrible very rude snotty and condescending. We are from Chicago and we were on a Christmas vacation, we ate here for Christmas dinner. I was very very happy with our pick!! Would 100% come back next time we are in town.

If you want a spectacular dining experience, go to Chataeu Anna Maria. Went for Christmas dinner. Ambience gets a 10 along with food & service. Shout out to Sarah, our server. Price was reasonable. Kudos for the “Jingle-tini” Christmas cocktail!🍸

Everything at Athena’s was perfect. The food was excellent and the service was amazing as well. Will definitely be returning!

We always start and end our Anna Maria Island vacation, when we stay at Sunshine Cottage, with the Waterfront. Truly exceptional!
