    Duck tacos - blackberry BBQ to die for!
    Mary P.

    Wonderful date night spot! Delicious food, smokin cocktails and unusual ambiance. Whether you're seated inside or out in the garden - guaranteed to have a memorable experience!

    The lounge at the dr's office.

    We went to the doctors office for our wedding anniversary and it was such a unique experience. The food was amazing and the drinks were well curated. After dinner, we moved into the lounge to have dessert and another round of drinks. The service was impeccable and had a unique changing seasonal menu..

    Service top notch, grouper tacos were some of the best I've ever had. Mediterranean plate app was Ahhmazing!!! Fun experience. Fun drinks. Small space not somewhere I would go every weekend but, definitely worth a try!!!

    We stopped for a few pre-dinner drinks on the suggestion of friends and were blown away. Literal works of art.

    A unique dining experience ( the doctor was in) in Holmes Beach -unassuming, innocuous building with outside garden although the six of us ate inside. At first, we entered the wrong door - into the bar room which was packed. Fortunately, we had a reservation in the garden room- about 6 tables and away from the bar and outdoor garden. I had the pain killer cocktail for starters- a large dark rum concoction which was very good. My wife and I split the Mediterranean platter- vegetables, hummus, pita and olive tapenade. Glad I read Yelp reviews beforehand so I ordered the duck tacos- highly recommend. 2 large soft shell tacos with plenty of duck( a lot to quack about). We finished with bananas foster- outstanding desert which we all shared. Service was professional; never rushed. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails and entrees which included shrimp and lobster tacos, seafood stew, and smoked salmon. The room was full but maybe the drinks loosened us up and ambient noise was minimal. We also loved the music being piped in- '60's and 70's soft rock. Overall, a nice dining experience- great food, drinks and company. 20 percent gratuity added to tab fyi.

    Duck tacos

    Simply superb! First time in with a foursome after a sunset cruise on Fun Boat tours across the road. We made a reservation (excuse me, "appointment ") for 8:45 and were seated promptly in the inside dining room. Eclectic space with a huge bar . There is a beautiful expansive patio and another small dining room at the other end of what used to be doctors' offices. The menu is unusual with so many tasty options! Cocktails were strong and delicious. Service was excellent throughout. The Lobstercargo was outstanding, as were my grouper tacos - no bits of grouper- a big chunk of super fresh fish. My wife's Duck tacos were superb and our friends thoroughly enjoyed their choices. Corkage is $25 for BYO, as the post hurricane wine list is in progress. 20% tip is automatically added. Can't wait to go back!

    Shrimp and lobster tacos again

    What a lovely outdoor dining space decorated with vibey plants, fairy lights, and charming garden party tables. This space is perfect for large parties, as our group of 11 was able to be seated together at one long table. Food was on the pricier side, with some dishes being worth it and others not. The shrimp and lobster tacos ($28) were very delicious, with tender meat mixed with savory sauces on fluffy and warm soft taco shells. The big grouper sandwich ($36) was not worth it. The fish was cooked tenderly, but there weren't any special flavors to it, despite its higher price point. I would come here again for the lovely vibes, but would definitely get tacos again over any other dishes.

    Best place for dinner and cocktails on the island! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is phenomenal and the food and drinks are a true sensory delight!

    This is a really neat place. It really is an old doctor's office. Parking can be a bit tricky, so plan accordingly. The service is outstanding. You never have to wait or ask twice. The lobster escargot and duck tacos were amazing. The drinks are incredible as well. The grouper tacos were over cooked. Thus the reason for four stars based on the price. We will visit again.

    Food & service was amazing. Pauline was so sweet and attentive and made our experience wonderful. Mashed potatoes was my favorite as well as the delicious drinks. I would go again! Love the vibes & ambience as well. Really cool place!

    Have been wanting to go to this place for years and finally went and unfortunately it was underwhelming. I feel like the drinks used to be a lot more creative from what I saw on their socials and from what my friend said who went back in the day it used to be more of a speakeasy elevated cocktail vibe versus a tiki/dive bar vibe. We had to ask for the chips that are supposed to be given complimentary and then we ordered bread and soup which literally took an unnecessary like 30 mins or more to come out as we watched the people on both sides of us get their full meals before us when we got items that just had to be reheated. The tomato soup was very good once it finally came out, the rolls were good but nothing as great as the hype in my opinion for the menu. The drinks were good but honestly the starter shot given at the bar was my favorite which was a hibiscus Pom margarita which I ended up getting fully as my second drink. Service started out hot but then went downhill but that is unfortunately the standard of when gratuity is already included in a check. Then when it came time to pay it got weird when there was a simple mix up when my friend intentionally overpaid even with gratuity involved in her check and the bartender asked her if she wanted change and she said yes but never brought it back. My friend gave 3 - 20s on a $38 check (gratuity) already in but she wanted to tip a few more dollars because she is a very generous person and then when she asked about her change that's when it got weird and the bartender made it seem like she didn't understand why she wanted change instead of just apologizing for the mistake and they went back and forth for a few minutes with the bartender ending up just giving her the extra $20 back. Just left a weird taste in our mouths for the experience when I feel like any bartender would understand what she wanted to do with giving extra larger bills to split especially when she said she wanted change and it was a massive overpayment or if the thought there was a very generous tip like 30% would make sure with guest that's what they want and show appreciation if that were the case. It was just weird how it all was handled. The decor was on point for Christmas and the vibe was very casual but oldie vibes which makes sense for it being in Anna Maria island.

    Short rib dinner and shrimp-lobster tacos

    Ok. I've done all sorts of Yelp searches for this area, and but somehow i missed this place on my radar. As we wandered about looking for someplace for dinner (the place we had intended for the evening was maxed out with one large party, so needed to look elsewhere) realized we just happened upon a place we had driven by a couple of times called "The Doctors Office". They had a beautiful garden area outside where people were dining, but it was a pretty warm night, so decided to check out the inside - where we found a really cool space and were greeted by the host asking: "Do you have an appointment?" (Get it? Doctors office...reservations...appointment!? Too cute a play on the doctor's office thing! : ) Well, we did NOT have said appointment (and the main dining area was quite full!) but thankfully there was one table remaining in the back lounge area, which was through a hidden door made to look like a bookshelf! This area also had its own cool vibe. Waiter (Matt) immediately placed two little medicine cups in front of us - to sample their cherry rum punch. Delish. I ordered a cocktail (cannot recall the name but along the lines of a manhattan) while my DH stayed with red wine (boooooo-ring! ; ) We shared the smoked salmon appetizer (super yummo!) Then on to dinner. OK, we're talking seafood country here! But, over the course of the several days we've been here, I ordered seafood every single time. I adore seafood but was ready for something else. So, was being realistic when I ordered something on the beef realm. Got the short rib dish and it did not disappoint. It was excellent. Maybe not the "easily shredded with a fork" ones I have had elsewhere, but certainly super tasty and not at all tough or fatty. DH got the shrimp-lobster tacos and said they were incredible! No leftovers coming home with this guy! Our waiter, Matt, was new to this establishment (but not waitering) and was attentive and personable - above and beyond. Would highly recommend. No, you're not going to get any water views (this place is sort of hidden away in an obscure spot behind a plaza) but well worth the visit!

    What is 1-2 favourite dishes?

    All drinks for medicinal purposes and the duck tacos

    Does the place have a private dining room for about 12-16 people?

    Technically Yes but it is a bit separate from the main area so you won't get the doctors office vibe.

    Do you have to have a reservation or can you walk in?

    I highly recommend making a reservation...it is very busy and without one... you most likely won't get in...the venue is small...you might try the bar...(also very busy), but it's a better possibility of getting a seat unannounced.

    Have they reopened?

    Yes- very popular so reservations recommended

    I went to Craftails Speakeasy and tried the Strawberry Fields from their spring craft tail menu…read more Honestly, it was strong, super pretty, and had this little dried orange thing plus a bubble that added smoke to the drink, felt fancy without feeling "my wallet is crying." Service was awesome too. We got there right when they opened so it was just me and my mom at first and the guy at the bar made it easy and fun. The vibe feels a bit on the fancier side, but it's still chill, a perfect spot for date night or just taking cute photos. No hidden entrance or secret password that we could see and street parking is available. No wait during the day. It's not the cheapest spot, but honestly worth it for the drinks and the aesthetic. I'd love to go back and try more of their craft tails sometime!

    Unfortunately, this experience went from disappointing to downright concerning…read more I do want to distinguish between the two bartenders working. The younger bartender was nice, pleasant, and welcoming. The older gentleman behind the bar, however, was a completely different experience. He came across as rude and was essentially barking orders at guests about how he would take our orders. For a place positioning itself as an upscale cocktail experience, that attitude set the wrong tone immediately. Unfortunately, the drinks didn't make up for it. My espresso martini was mediocre at best. My friend had the lemon drop, which was equally lackluster. Then came the $30 smoked Old Fashioned, which should have been impressive at that price point but was incredibly disappointing. We were also told they infuse their own vanilla into the vodka. Whatever they're using or doing with it, the end result tasted incredibly cheap --not remotely what I'd expect from a premium cocktail program. Then there's the condition of the place itself. There was a wrapped pipe dripping water onto/near a lounge bench, chipped and peeling paint on the walls, and obvious signs that preventive maintenance is desperately needed. The space simply wasn't aesthetically pleasing or maintained at the level the prices and concept would suggest. But it actually got worse when I went to the bathroom. Part of the ceiling appeared to be falling down, water was actively dripping into a bucket, and there was visible dark growth on the ceiling tile that looked like mold. At that point, my concern went well beyond décor. If you're going for an upscale speakeasy experience take a look at The Doctor's Office. That's the kind of atmosphere, presentation, and attention to detail I associate with this concept. When you're charging $30 for a cocktail, expectations are naturally going to be high. I expect excellent drinks, professional hospitality, and a well-maintained environment. Aside from the younger bartender, who was genuinely pleasant, this experience missed the mark across the board.
