This is my husband and my favorite restaurant on the beach. We have never had a bad experience there. The food is absolutely outstanding, and they spoil you with the service. We just love it!

We have enough egg on our face to make for an egg salad. So we had guests from Boston Mass., and they requested seafood. Ans so we remembered this out of the way place on Anna Maria Island. Yes, we have been here before, and it is indeed out of the way, an hour's drive, one way that is. We remembered that it is in this place we enjoyed once the best bouillabaisse (a specialty recipe from the Provence) this side of Marseilles. Unfortunately, this specialty dish is no longer part of their menu. So, we opted for their Pampano, and ... what a mistake that was. They screwed it up as in ... well lets just say, I would have traded it in for a fish sandwich from Micky-D. Thank God, our guests ordered the flounder, and they said, (I hope the meant it) it was delicious. Service was great, the atmosphere still as cozy as we had remembered it, but the Pampano, disgusting frankly.
