The Waterfront Restaurant and Craft Bar

 

Day two Lunch

We love this place as well.  Right across from the water you can see the Anna Maria city pier from the patio seats.  You can also see the Sunshine Bridge which crosses Tampa Bay from those same seats.

Today’s choices were:

Tuna Sashimi The dish arrived, rare tuna over seaweed salad, black sesame seeds, and soy sauce side.  The portion here is larger than we are used to.  Four thick slices fanned across the salad.  Wasabi and pickled ginger aplenty for the amount of tuna.  The dish was great but really got left behind by the other choices. Very good and recommend ordering

Fish Taco’s  These were the best fish taco’s our group has ever eaten.  The fish today was grouper and it was grilled perfectly. Fish was tender and tasty we all agreed what set these taco’s apart was the way the fish stood out in the flavors.  They came with Jicama slaw, cheddar jack and pico de gallo. We choose the pineapple coleslaw as the side here and were not disappointed.

Truffle – Gouda Mac and Cheese OK I consider myself a mac and cheese ninja.  I love the stuff always have always will.  This was worthy of the choice.  Creamy and cheesy.  The bread crumbs toasted golden brown.  The dish was just a bowl of comfort which al great mac and cheese should be. And of course the side we choose?  Truffle fries!!  Crispy crunchy salted to perfection and just exactly what a good mac and cheese needs, right?  This is a must get if you go to the waterfront.

Fried Green Tomatoes OK who doesn’t love a fried green tomato?  These were amazing. Large Beefsteak green tomatoes fried golden brown. The Pimento cheese they served to accompany was house made no doubt.  Creamy and spicy with chopped JalapeƱo peppers in the mix.  These were like your granny used to make.  The order came with five slices of tomato and a large scoop of that heavenly pimento cheese.  We all fought over that last tomato it was simply wonderful. A must order if you go…

What a place.
