Anna Maria Oyster Bar Cortez

My favorite restaurant! Food is excellent at modest prices. Place is very crowded during tourist season (Dec-March), but it is always worth the wait. Wonderful frozen margaritas--watch for a coupon in the local newspaper weekend mag that comes out on Thursdays. I have always had various fish dishes, so can't comment on meat. The decor is quaint, not flashy. Only negative I can think of is the noise level when the place is full. (I'm sure it won't bother most people, but I'm a quiet person.) One other time our calamari was tough and we simply didn't eat it. The server noticed and asked; the manager came to our table and apologized. Naturally, it was taken off our tab, and in addition, we were given a chit for a free dessert for our next visit. Locally owned and operated--three sites in the area--with an owner manager at each place. Top service and quallity food at good price. I love it!

Go there quite frequently, because of their great food and staff !!!! Along with their GREAT dining service, they have a GREAT little bar and GREATbartenderss, along with GREAT drink prices!!!!!!!! A place you can sit and relax and meet people from all over. Recomend it to every one !!!

Best dollar-value seafood restaurant in this area, especially during the summer months. Well staffed, excellent kitchen, good service, good food! They also have a buy 8/get one free lunch program during the summer. Pleasant view for outdoor dining overlooking a small lake. With their two sister restaurants on US41 and Cortez Road, they always have some excellent specials.
