Restaurant suggestions for anniversary dinner

Staying in Holmes Beach end of July and looking for restaurant recommendations for a 30th anniversary dinner. Just the 2 of us. Seafood heavy and waterfront preferred, but not mandatory.

Where do you recommend.

Congratulations on your upcoming 30th anniversary! Holmes Beach and Anna Maria Island offer a variety of excellent dining options, especially if you are looking for seafood and a pleasant ambiance for a special night. Here are some recommended options:

  • The Waterfront Restaurant: Located right on the Intracoastal Waterway, this restaurant offers a beautiful sunset view and fresh seafood options. Perfect for a romantic dinner with a scenic backdrop.
  • Beach Bistro: Known for upscale seafood and waterfront dining, Beach Bistro offers a sophisticated atmosphere ideal for special occasions. Their menu features fresh fish, lobster, and creative appetizers.
  • Sandbar Restaurant: Situated on the beach itself, the Sandbar provides a casual yet elegant setting. You can enjoy seafood while listening to the waves. It’s especially nice around sunset.
  • Ginny & Jane E’s Café & Gift Shop: While more casual, they offer fresh seafood options and a cozy atmosphere. Ideal if you prefer a quieter, laid-back anniversary dinner away from the more crowded spots.

Additional tips:

  • Reservations are highly recommended in late July as this is peak summer season and many popular restaurants fill quickly.
  • Consider arriving slightly before sunset if you want a waterfront table with the view of the sun going down.
  • If you are open to a short drive, some excellent options exist on nearby Bradenton Beach or Holmes Beach Pier areas which also offer scenic water views.

Overall, for a special anniversary evening with seafood and either waterfront or beautiful ambiance, The Waterfront Restaurant and Beach Bistro are top choices for a memorable dinner experience.
