Best Waterfront Restaurants in Holmes Beach

Great spot on Sarasota Bay for delicious seafood and drinks. The grouper sandwich is the best in the area. The outdoor patio is the best setting, where you can watch the boats wander by or come to be stored in the adjacent boathouse. Plan ahead as reservations are scarce and you’ll face long waits without one.

Had a lovely dining experience there. Good service from Morgan.

Thank you for a great lunch. The lobster rolls were perfect, however, the fries were a bit of shrinkflation on the portion, compared to previous visits. Our server was friendly and attentive. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Great food had the wood fired grilled filet with scallop potatoes and hush puppies they were excellent. The whole group really enjoyed their meal and sitting on the deck overlooking the bay.

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