Review of The Waterfront Restaurant

111 S Bay Blvd, Anna Maria, FL 34216

Review


We were drawn to this restaurant because of its extensive gluten free options. My 8 yo daughter is celiac and it is tricky finding places she can safely eat. We were very happy with the decision. We ordered three entrees for my husband and I and three kids (6, 8, and 10.) We decided to get everything entirely gluten free so that we could share with all of us. The staff was very knowledgeable about this and lead us through the modifications. We ordered a shrimp plate (modification: grilled rather than fried, and mashed potatoes instead of fries), a rib eye steak, and a burger (modification: GF Udi's bun, nicely toasted.) Everything was happily consumed, with the most popular dish being the steak. All three kids now proclaim themselves steak lovers - we decided to overlook the catsup they used on it! My son, who typically won't touch any GF substitutes, didn't even realize he was eating a GF bun on his burger and started to get worried for his sister! All in all, a great dining experience. PS the kids knew they were in a great place when they were handed Wiki Stix instead of crayons for before dinner entertainment!
