TUCK'S TIPS ON AMI DINING...

1

The Waterfront...
The craft bar at The Waterfront is a cocktail lover's dream. Its lineup
of mixed drinks offers adventurous twists on classics, like the Smoked
Margarita made with Reposado Tequila and a rinse of Mezcal with fresh
lime and ginger. The food menu boasts fresh Gulf catches and the porch
seating provides the ideal environment to enjoy it all. It's a popular spot
for locals and visitors alike, so call ahead to make reservations.

Eat Here...
Eat Here is Beach Bistro’s younger, more wallet-friendly brother. It
breaks the mold of formal dining with quirky tableware and clipboard
menus­ but the quality of the food is just as exceptional as that of a
,
higher-priced establishment. The fish is always fresh and plates are
served as soon as they're made for the best flavor. Save room for
dessert at this place—you won't regret it!

Bridge Street Bistro...
Dine al fresco on the third floor terrace of Bridge Street Bistro
and take in Anna Maria Island's main event: a blazing sunset. The
kitchen, run by Chef Keith Daum, is known for its lobster bisque,
seafood gumbo, specialty salads, and thick cuts of steak. Happy
hour starts at 3 PM with drink specials and half-priced apps, and live
entertainment keeps the party going past twilight.

Everyone Loves a Local Dive...
For a break from seafood, try Village Idiot Pizzeria, with its NYCworthy (or better!) wood-fired pizzas in the Cortez Fishing Village.
Afterward, head next door to Tyler's Ice Cream for a homemade
scoop or two. Skinny's Place is another dive hangout, this one with
a distinct Jimmy Buffett vibe and juicy burgers. It's a cash-only
establishment with $1.50 beers and communal picnic tables ideal
for getting to know your neighbor.
