We were vacationing with family and went to this location for breakfast. Located in a strip shopping center we had to wait a short period of time for seating inside. Tables were also outside. Average size inside, clean bright and cute. Service was good. Food really good. We had eggs and sausage, hash browns, pancakes and a western omelet and fruit. Coffee and juice. We really enjoyed our meals and went back another time in the week. Highly recommend this stop. Five plus!

Upon a local recommendation we stopped by the Wicked Cantina during a recent visit to the beach. The menu offers plenty of classic Mexican dishes but also includes some unique options. The Seafood Enchiladas came highly recommended and were amazing. The chips and salsa were amazing and even better with their queso. We will definitely return when we come back to the area.

Have been going to the Beach House for several years while vacationing in Bradenton. While the location on the shore can't be beat and the wait staff are attentive, the menu seafood selections are limited for a shore restaurant. Fresh catch was limited to mahi, swordfish and salmon (I love salmon, but it's Florida). For what I consider an upscale place, the menu didn't reflect it (but the prices did).Kent,Thank you for continuing to come in to see us at the Beach House. I am sorry that you did not find a broad enough selection of seafood for your liking on this visit. Our menu does change quite frequently based on the season. I hope that you come back to see us and enjoy some different catches on your next visit.Dave Gallagher, General Manager

My wife and I celebrated our 20th year anniversary at Bridge Street Bistro. We originally had reservations on the deck outside, but decided to stay inside and have dinner and drinks at the bar. Why, you might ask? Because of the classy and experienced bartender, Jay! Jay made us feel as if the night was ours and scientifically created some fabulous cocktails that were the best weâve ever had. Jay pointed us in the right direction on what to dive into for appetizers, then suggested a word class filet and lobster tail dinner that was the best ever! This was way better than a night at Burns - half the price, high quality and the best bartender!Jesse, it absolutely delights us when people take the time to mention whom and what made their trip so memorable! We are thrilled Jay was able to give you such a great experience. Thank you so much for dining with us and we truly hope to see you again in the future!

In November 2011, Adam Ellis opened Blue Marlin Seafood in the heart of historic Bridge Street. Youâll know Blue Marlin by the vibrant blue color of this historic 1920s cottage, and once inside you will feel like youâre in a seafood house in coastal Maine

Blue Marlin is really, really good. Excellent food. Fresh seafood dishes. Good drinks. Welcoming and helpful service. The chef really knows what he is doing. Seating outside or inside. They even have solved the problem of parking nearby. If you want deep-fried everything then don't go here. If you want really good cooking of creative dishes made with fresh ingredients by a chef with a creative brain, then this is your place. I know it's ours.

I can see how this can get some really positive reviews, and don't get me wrong I love the concept, and much of the menu - it's all something we're very familiar with (but that may be part of the issue)This is an original and very unique spot in Anna Maria island - and much welcome - we stay here often and its great to add this to the selection. that said we are spoilt by eateries such as this in London, and actually this does fall short - so im comparing on a like for like basis. For choice, value, ambience and experience this does not meet places in London like Meat Market - though its very much in keeping with the same style of Hipster diner contemporary bbq shack. Obviously we're in Florida but actually the cost is comparable too.We ordered 3 sandwiches, with fries - actually the menu was a lot smaller than i'd imagined. It's also very ad hoc - as you can see its displayed in handwriting on a wall by the till. (this is a trope of hipster diners though, so no surprise) My wife is visually impaired and there was no way she could access it - that said service was good and the girl at the till im sure would have helped more. Prices were fine, but like I said we pay the same in London for more.Food was fine - i had a pulled pork sandwich, and it tasted nice, as it should. Was it any different to lots of other similar sandwiches? Not really - it was good, it was fine.Why drop a star from the review then? The issue - we were 1 of 3 parties 'dining' - its a very sparse and functional room - actually we thought it had literally just opened and they were still filling in decor. The other party nearby was larger, and drinking ( and loving it too - so much so they were helping themselves to beers from the fridge) in this small echo-filled space it meant we pretty much had to wolf down our burgers without talking, because they were drowning everyone else out. The girl serving had darted out back to the kitchen but came back to reprimand the men grabbing beers (we thought they might be the owners..)Another couple did the same us, ate hurriedly and dashed off. If you're grabbing take-out I can see it might be a WHOLE different ball game - and we might do that next time, like I said the food was okay. But the ambience and vibe in that little seating area is average at best, verging on being a waiting room - and made worse if you're sharing it with some real party-goers ...and definitely needs a little tlc.Hey Christopher, thank you for the well written and thought out review.. I do remember that night (as MOST of our guests would never think of helping themselves to our beer cooler.. who does that, really?!)It was a frustrating party and I do apologize that they were annoying more than just us. My wife and I own it after working in restaurants for most of our life and saving all the extra tip money we could. We took our very small budget and put every cent of our life savings into this place.. the kitchen equipment was the most expensive part of our buildout, so we didnât have much for front decor. We built all of our furniture, I painted the animal prints on the wall, and we did all of the electrical work for our center bulb display.. Weâre glad the food was good (yes, as it should be) and we purposefully priced our food lower than every other restaurant on the island. Pretty good for all scratch, never frozen foods.. the never frozen food part is why we have a small and concise menu.. each item is different than the next, and weâre happy to put out a small menu of good items.. you have fish and chip restaurants that ONLY put out fish and chips, right? Do people complain about those, or do they go because theyâre great at what they do? Either way.. thanks for the review, I would have maybe done a 4 star, but hopefully youâll come back and weâll earn that from you..Thanks again, Andy + Heidi Kubes
