Beach Bistro

You seriously can't top dining on the beach! You get a five course meal, outstanding service, can watch the sunset and really eat on the beach with your toes in the sand! It is a very fancy dining experience. They were accommodating with my food allergies (tree nuts and gluten) and made specific changes to the 5 course meal for me. A date night stop you will never forget!

We had the chefs tasting menu for our party of 5. Unanimously voted as one of the top 5 dinners we have all had in our lives. Joe was a fabulous server and made great menu suggestions and his descriptions were spot on. We are here for 2 months and will plan another evening here before we leave.

This was our first time dining at Beach Bistro. We live in Siesta Key so it was a drive to get there but well worth it. Restaurant is a little dated and a little cramped but the food and service made up for it. I have to admit this is the best food I have ever tasted. The presentation was wonderful.The timing in between courses was perfect. I had the Grouper. It was delicious. It was expensive but I recommend a visit.

We had the most amazing experience, and it was just that, an amazing experience from the time we walked in! James, the GM, was so friendly and seated us on the beach with a glass of champagne. Our waiter, Matt, was very friendly, informative, and attentive. Oscar made the most delicious smoked old fashion and even did a tasting of cognac for me. And the food, what can we say, EVERYTHING was divine, prepared to precision, and perfect from prelude to the end. We loved our experience so much that we made reservations for the rest of the week. Thank you again, Beach Bistro!

Once again, we had an amazing time! We sat at the bar and had another phenomenal experience! Thank you, Joey, for your recommendations and the most delicious pineapple and espresso martinis!!

We've been frequenting Beach Bistro for about 5 years, both for regular outings and special occasions. When we're exhausted from the daily grind and seeking a culinary adventure, this is where we head. What draws us here?

Firstly, the valet parking - never worrying about where to park the car; courteous attendants take care of parking and have the car ready at the entrance once the meal concludes.

Next, the standout bar experience: homemade infusions and well-curated food pairings. I can't tell if they select the snacks to complement the drinks or vice versa! The attention to the wine list is commendable; it's always worth inviting the sommelier to the table for recommendations, as hidden gems not on the menu await.

My photos speak volumes about the colorful dishes, but if you're here, opt for the chef's full course for an absolutely unforgettable experience. Don't rush and savor what they've prepared to the fullest!

Thank you, Beach Bistro! And see ya!

We had the pleasure of dining at Beach Bistro on our honeymoon on Anna Maria Island. We absolutely loved Beach Bistro and easy was our favorite dinner of the whole trip. The selection at each course had options to fit every taste bud. The portions were larger than expected leaving us very full after our dinner. The service and atmosphere were far beyond expectations, leaving us with an amazing memory we will cherish forever. We were sat on a table outside on the beach which was beautiful for the evening sunset! We will definitely be back soon! Thank you to the staff for celebrating with us!!

We enjoyed every bite of food. Drinks were great. I enjoyed the "new fashioned " smoked. My husband tried the Pirate Punch.
This was worth the price. Sat on the beach. We had a beautiful view of the sunset. It was chilly out, and the restaurant provided all of us with throw blankets, a very nice touch, and attention to detail.
Service was a little chopped up, and it seemed like they should have had more than one person handling the number of tables they had on the beach. That said, Matt was lovely and was hustling to do his best to keep everyone attended to.

Beautiful place to have a sunset dinner. Book the 6:30 beachside and you'll have a sunset right between course 3 (entree) and course 4 (dessert)

The only thing that a regret myself was missing the sunset because we were a party of 10 and at that time the outside was full.
Great food, ambient, staff and wine!!! 😜
You want to spend a great afternoon-night go over and enjoy it, great experience super relaxing…

Take a look to the pics!!!

Simply beautiful and so many wonderful options to pick from the five course meal. Portioned just enough so you can enjoy it all, it's just one treat after another. Can't say enough about the staff, it's nice to see how much effort is put into making guest happy. Can't wait to return hopefully very soon.

This restaurant is tucked away at the end of a short street right on the beach. You must make reservations or be very lucky. It almost seems like it's an old house that has been converted into a restaurant. Loads of charm, quirky little corners and dark paneling. The front huge window is everything as you're looking directly onto the sand in the gulf. If you are adventuresome, they have tables right on the sand for dinner. We went for an anniversary and they gave us the prime spot in the corner in front of the window. Staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. They serve only three course dinners with some options. Everything we had that night was absolutely delicious and worth the price. We will definitely be going back again next year for anniversary again.

Couldn't recommend here more! They made our anniversary so special. The service is amazing (especially our team member, Joey), the food was phenomenal, and they really paid attention to the details. We'll be talking about this for years to come - it's well worth the money!

Beautifully romantic, four courses of food elegantly prepared, promptly served in a perfect beach destination. Unobstructed sunset views, friendly informative servers. Children have a “make your own pizza” option, whisked away to pizza ovens then cut into small slices and served with flair! Delicious custom cocktails and extensive wine list!

I had a fantastic experience at the Beach Bistro! The entire pre-fox menu was full of flavor, and our waiter was also accommodating with food selections.

The atmosphere: inside is very nice and classic. We sat outside, and it was perfect. It’s hard to beat sitting on the soft sand and having a fabulous fine dining experience. Even when the wind picks up, the staff has blankets for your comfort. That is a lovely touch.

The staff: were terrific! They were around to make sure our experience was the best it could be. Our waiter could answer any questions on the menu and recommend a good wine.

The food: is the main event of the Beach Bistro, and it was phenomenal! Every course, from the starters of ice cream and soup to the BBQ shrimp and lamb, was all top tier. Everything was cooked perfectly!

Cleanliness: The staff comes around and does a beautiful job of ensuring everything is in order and clean for you.

Actually the food and service are 10 stars. From the attentive valet to our server, each "ACT" presenter was superb. Chef is to be complimented for the just perfect taste experience. Sunset was not added to bill. Not much when we drove up. A tad concerned. Quickly found out this is a wonderful place to dine and be treated like special guests. Expensive but well worth it.

The resturant offers a preset 4 course dinner with different options in each course. Each was excellent . The service was superb. And not rushed. We elected to have our dinner on the beach rather than inside only 4 tables or so available beach side so have to book well in advance. Great atmosphere but at the mercy of Mother Nature.

Great cocktails and wine list.

Excellent choice for special occasions . Expect to spend about $220 per person

Amazing an amazing experience. You guys made my bday very special. Thank you.

This place is to die for! I have multiple food allergies and our waitress was amazing. She accommodated all my needs, and the chef prepared all my course’s with care! Definitely, one of the best restaurants and meals I’ve had that accommodated all my dietary restrictions. Nothing but amazing things I can say! Definitely a must visit when in Anna Maria!

I don’t get a chance very often to dine in such an opulent restaurant but I’m fortunate enough tonight to have enjoyed an amazing experience. The location on the beach is perfect. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The Acts are courses in the meal. Carefully planned and well thought out. The 1st act was a plate of salmon. Act 2 was spiny lobster bites. Act 3 was the main course of grouper and potatoes. Beets and squash for vegetables. Steamed perfectly. The Spanish red wine was a 2015 and very smooth. The 4th act was key lime desert. I wish I could do a better job of explaining how wonderful the evening was. The food the staff the scenery. All was amazing 🤩

My mom and I were in town for a girls week and went to Beach Bistro for a sunset dinner on the beach for our last night on the island as our grand finale. The food + service were 110% on point and we had an unforgettable evening. We would absolutely recommend and will be back! Bonus – We were able to make reservations in advance AND they had valet parking!!!
