The Valentine's Day meal special was stupendous. The salad and soup appetizers were to die for. The surf and turf main entre was off the charts. The filet was cooked to perfection, and the lobster was sweet, succulent, and tender. It was cooked perfectly as well. The grand finale dessert was yummy. The fruit, chocolate, whipped cream, and ice cream combination was a delightful ending to a wonderful dining experience. The chocolate covered strawberry was my favorite! Even the presentation was impressive. It was a meal that I would never have imagined or expected at a laid-back Waterfront Florida restaurant. It was comparable to a 5-star steak house experience. The price was reasonable as well. I only wish there was an appropriate wine list to complement this exquisite meal. Our server was very attentive to our needs as well, and we tipped her handsomely. Kudos to Executive Chef Ken Gilcrest. Wishing you great success under new management. We'll be back!

Great Valentine's Day dinner - Hostess accommodated our seating request, Jonathan was very attentive - thank you for being such good hosts

The food was really high quality. Very well done, simple menu with delicious options.

Really our favorite restaurant around. Amazing products for great prices, outstanding wine list and very lovely staff. Everything there is great.

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