    Food was absolutely phenomenal and fresh and delicious. Service was speedy and friendly and extremely helpful!! Ambience was that of a great little restaurant on the beach. Great little spot!! Definitely go!

    This is a good restaurant reminiscent of the old school seafood restaurants. The food is delicious and plentiful. The service is good with the amount of business they do. The ambiance is great and the art is amazing. Would definitely go back. They do have a parking lot right beside it and the beach is directly across the street.

    New England Clam Chowder
    Nicole N.

    Excellent! They have a variety of martinis. Right on the beach, close to the pier. The clam chowder was so tasty! We got 1lb crab legs for $23 (Sunday special 11a-4p) and surprisingly not too packed. The wahoo was on special and probably my favorite fish of the whole trip! Highly recommend this restaurant. Limited outdoor seating though

    Fried scallops
    Sarah J.

    Sister's lunch while walking around the pier area. It was warm out so we were looking for inside seating and seafood. The fish taco's and tuna burger were mouth watering. The New England clam chowder was a bit thin but very tasty. The broiled haddock was not as flakey as we wished it would be and the fried scallops were too watery. I don't know if they were short handed or just run one server normally but she was overwhelmed and the service was not the greatest. We didn't receive drink refills, got charged for extra sauces we never received and was basically ignored. The hostess was a wonderful young lady, it was too bad she wasn't the server.

    Love the seafood at the anchor!!! Two Sundays in a row - the snow crab was spot on! Add in lobster this time and I'm thinking I will be back next Sunday again!

    Blackened trigger fish with fries.
    Susan W.

    This place knows how to do food!! Start with She Crab soup and Oysters Rockefeller. I love the trigger fish, although anything you order is fantastic!! Our bartender John was simply amazing, he made sure our food was prompt and our glasses were never empty, very attentive and friendly. This place is the bomb.

    House margarita
    Jenn B.

    Tonight we decided to tryout The Anchor. We were seated immediately and our server Brian took our drink order which was margaritas. He brought us ice waters and shortly after our margaritas. The margaritas were very good. We then placed our dinner order my husband ordered the Trigger fish blackened and fries, I ordered fried shrimp with onion rings. We also received salads with our dinners. The decorations in the restaurant are very beachy and beautiful! We were seated where we are able to look at the ocean. Service was excellent from our server to all working there. Very happy and satisfied with our dining experience!

    Cheeseburger and coleslaw. Both excellent.

    Second visit to Next Door Beach Bistro and once again -- phenomenal…read more Last night I ordered the Beef Bourguignon with cream potatoes, and it was everything this classic French dish should be. The beef was incredibly tender, slow-braised in a rich red wine reduction with pearl onions and mushrooms. The cream potatoes underneath were smooth, buttery, and perfect for soaking up that sauce. Every bite was delicious. We started with the Filet Carpaccio, thinly sliced and topped with shaved parmesan, capers, arugula, and crostini. Fresh, light, and beautifully plated. The bar program deserves its own mention. You can order a vodka soda anywhere, but here they elevate every drink with presentation and detail. Instead of a simple lime wedge, I watched drinks come out with full lime rounds resting on the rim. My Chocolate Martini dessert drink was practically artwork -- topped with a dehydrated orange slice, chocolate shavings, orange zest, and crossed chocolate-dipped sticks. It looked incredible and tasted even better. Atmosphere is another win here. Guests ranged from cocktail dresses to casual beachside attire and somehow it all fit perfectly. That balance is hard to achieve, but they've nailed it. We sat on the patio (about 67°) and they had the panels down, which kept it comfortable while still letting you enjoy the beachside atmosphere. Even the hallway to the restrooms was lined with art -- thoughtful details everywhere. Some restaurants look great but don't deliver on flavor. Others taste great but lack atmosphere. This place does both exceptionally well. Dinner for two with drinks came to $131 before tip, which felt very fair for the quality of food, cocktails, and overall experience. Looking forward to visit number three.

    Food has always been consistently great. Wish they had real martini glasses…read more Love sitting out on the patio enjoying the ocean breeze. Lobster bisque on of our favorites. Large banquet tables are too large for conversation.

Very refreshing on a hot day. My son got a sprite. I enjoyed the crab cake sandwich, but my favorite were the sweet potato fries with this honey chipotle dipping sauce. Yummmmmmmm. I would come back for those alone! Hubs enjoyed blackened grouper sandwich with pasta salad. Son enjoyed burger but said it was overcooked. No biggie. Ask for Izzy. Get the sweet potato fries and the blueberry marg.

    Looking for a fresh seafood restaurant with wild-caught shrimp and raw oysters near the beach?…read more Surprisingly, not this place. The name 'Turtle Shack' does not carry any significance. We did have clam chowder minus the clams and bits of potato normally found in most every clam chowder. It was essentially a milky broth. The fish sandwich was good. Our choice of Mahi was a nice-sized portion-control piece that had no doubt been purchased and delivered frozen, but to be fair was cooked to our liking. And it came with a large serving of crisp tasty fresh fries. The french dip sandwich was also pretty good. Plenty of shaved meat and a nice pineapple slaw side was more than enough to satisfy us. No complaints unless you thought clam chowder actually oughta have clam and potato in it, or if you were planning to enjoy fresh FL seafood at the 'Turtle Shack'. Instead, enjoy the burgers and the wings and the portion-control fish sandwich and the french dip and ignore the mis-leading name out front.
