The Feast Restaurant

This restaurant is in a strip shopping mall at a busy intersection on Holmes beach. We went here on Valentines Day for dinner and were seated immediately (we had a reservation). Alexander, our server, was great. The Ribeye ala Feast was delicious and a beet salad, even though it was the small size was more than we could eat. Food, service and ambiance were all topnotch. I would recommend this place without reservation. The exterior doesn't look like much but the restaurant inside is one of the best on Anna Maria Island, IMO. Free parking in the shopping center lot where this restaurant is located. This would easily be one of my favorite places on the island.

Found ourselves out on the island Friday night and pop in The Feast to give it a try and was glad we did. We were quickly seated and promptly served. Food was delicious (especially the pork potstickers), it came out t fast but not too fast. The only thing we found odd was that they didn’t have coffee mugs or coffee. So, if you’re looking for that, you’ll want to pick someplace else, but if you’re looking for some good food, this place didn’t miss for us.

Newly renovated, nice atmosphere with a cute small bar! Drinks were delicious and presented with a special touch. The food was good...the service staff was on it, maybe slow down the courses and ask when we are ready. Appetizers and dinner came back to back.

Really nice ambience and good service; food was good, but not "as" good as we hoped. Also fries came or super salty and it took forever to get fresh ones, to the point where my wife was basically done with the rest of her meal. Also the smoked old fashioned was good, but $18?!? I know were on the island, but cmon.

Great restaurant that was super attentive to our allergy needs. Everyone made sure we were safe and enjoyed our dining experience. With exception of one dish, everything else was delicious! Our waiter Adra was really kind, accommodating, attentive and welcoming and the entire staff were very professional.

Server was excellent and food was ok. To us, it wasn’t anything special. Lobster and shrimp risotto had a very fishy taste and could not finish it. Waitress gets kudos for asking about the dish and actually took it off our bill, without us asking. Chicken Parmesan was fair but nothing special to us. Was a big serving though. Also had the coconut shrimp and fries and was the best part of our meal.

We found this place on the last night of our 5 night stay. We ate everywhere on Anna Maria Island and The Feast was the best. If we had of found it on our first night we would have ate here all 5 nights. Delicious food, very friendly staff and no waiting. Sit at the bar for the best bartender Benjamin!

This is a very nice place to go. You can dine inside or outside! Service was great and the food delicious. They're very accommodating if you have food allergies. We went on a Friday evening. And it's a busy place. We were lucky and didn't have to wait. Next time I go to Anna Maria Island I'll be dining here again. The steak was cooked to perfection.

Great service. Great waitress. Great food. We were only there for 7 days but I wanted to go back to this place. If I ever get back to Anna Maria, I will definitely eat at The Feast again.

Always great food and good service plus they take reservations. And not to forget the bar with a creative bartender.

We always have good food here. Service is excellent. Our drinks are good. I ordered the red grouper with shrimp and crab. It also came with a loaded potato. My smoked old fashioned was good.,my wife got the short ribs over risotto. Our experience was very good and food was excellent. Nice clean place that is decorated nicely inside.

Great restaurant on the island! Our server was the sweetest and was super helpful. Forgot to take pics of the food was great! I recommend the pot stickers and the snow crab!

So happy the Feast is back open! A delicious meal with family. I had the fisherman's platter with the baked potato! We shared the key lime cake for dessert. Everything was great! The Feast also takes reservations which we appreciate.

Not only are the drinks beautiful they taste amazing as well. This cocktail was like dessert! Yummy! The bartender was the sweetest young lady. Asked her favorite cocktail to make and she happily listed 3. The short rib risotto was made with a Gruyère cheese and rosemary. It was rich and creamy! Cooked to perfection. Do not miss this spot if you are on Anna Maria Island. Congratulations on re-opening after back to back hurricanes!

Food was fine, the prices were not. Pasta for my kid was $25. And the place smelled like a urinal cake and sewage.

I've eaten here several times and enjoyed it so much that I've returned with guests that come to visit me on Anna Maria. Tonight, I got food to go and have to say that from the moment I called in my order to the time I sat down to eat, I was impressed. The man who took my order over the phone was polite and helpful. The order was cooked to perfection, a nice piece of grouper with a beet salad. So delicious, prepared with care and the price was more reasonable than most places on the island. I've never had a bad experience at this restaurant, but tonight, eating at home alone while going through a stressful time, they were a huge comfort to me.

When you walk in, it's like a week old fish punched you right in the nose. Really gross, they clearly need to change the oil in their fryer because our tempura grouper was a deep, deep brown and tasted like burnt cooking oil. Ended up just eating the fries.

Friends had raved about this quirky named casual beach restaurant so it seemed perfect for Mothers Day. Will, our server was well versed with the menu and steered us straight. We had the grouper bites first which were lightly breaded . My New England clam chowder was thick and loaded with clams. My entree was the crab cakes- very little filler and two large cakes. The house chips and slaw were perfect accompaniments with the crab. The sangria was tasty and perfect. My wife's beef salad was large and loaded with goat cheese as well. We were too stuffed to try desserts but they sounded delicious(next time). Very unpretentious, casual attire in a strip mall, this is a gem. The table next to us got pizzas and raved about them. Plenty of parking as well-4.5 stars.

The food was great and service was good too. Glad they are still open after the big storm.

The feast is amazing! Misty took great care of us, excellent service; we are on vacation from Texas and this was the best spot we've eaten! 10/10 recommend. The short rib grilled cheese and lobster risotto was delicious. If we vacation here again, we will definitely be back.

Great food, but they need to upgrade their menu prices on line. Significantly higher than what is currently listed.

Service was quite well our waitress was good and attentive to our needs. The ambiance was peaceful and calm but being on the coast a little light would be alright. And the food was the letdown of this review. I'm not one to say it was bad but for the Alfredo I ate had a bit of a weird texture and the mozzarella wedges (I didn't get a picture of) we're very splendid though.

This restaurant survived the two 2024 hurricanes and officially re-opened on February 28, 2025 and they're not closed! Restaurant has an amazing new bar and the cocktails are prepared by Benjamin, who is an amazing bartender and goes over and beyond.

Fantastic!!!! They are OPEN!!!! My drinks and meal were amazing!!!!! Benjamin the bar tender and Adrian one of the owners were so great!! You won't be disappointed!!!!!! Lobster risotto gets a big thumbs up as do the specialty drinks!!!!

Food was delicious. Service was stellar. The staff was very efficient and professional and offered solid recommendations. Shrimp & Shrimp and Lobster Lafayette was perfect. Everything was cooked correctly. The sauce was just the right amount of spicy. There was deliciousness in every forkful. Trey, the server made some great recommendations. Paired this with a Big Storm lager that was quite tasty.

Excellent food and service. We eat here a couple Times while in town. They take reservations too!

We went here not knowing what to expect. My wife likes seafood and I had heard they had really good pizza. When we sat down my wife quickly found some seafood that looked good. I didn't see pizza on the menu but when I asked the waiter he brought me the pizza menu. We both ordered and the waiter was very nice and personable. My wife's stuffed shrimp came out great and I loved the pizza. It's a small place and I guess it gets pretty busy but we were lucky enough to have not too big a crowd. I would recommend them anytime. It's really good

After several visits, which we usually bring friends & family from out of town & make reservations. We specifically made reservations for all you can eat crab legs, we get seated and are told they didn't have enough and we had to pay per pound, we quickly questioned the staff. Quite rude a false advertisement, I suggest going elsewhere, for not just this reason but the audacity and rudeness was unacceptable and then the lies spewed afterwards.

So happy to see Feast open again. New look and some new items - the food is amazing. We had Fish, lobster, and pasta dishes - all amazing. Our server, Melissa, was attentive and friendly. Considering this just reopened we expected some missed but there were none.

This pizza far exceeded expectations for beach town pizza. Growing up in NY and CT I have high pizza standards and was pleasantly surprised. Would go back!

Dont let the outside fool you the food is just as bad as the place looks. Their grouper was old tasting, the free cornbread was just as bad, even their French fries were not good. Drive a little further and go somewhere else. Service was ok food came out quickly.

We made a reservation for 11 at 6pm . Arrived on time and the table was ready . We had excellent service and the ambiance was cozy. They have an excellent menu and a ton of choices . I recommend the escargot ! Spot on. We did however find out the pizza is take out only . You can't get a pizza in the restaurant . Will definitely return again . Well worth the money spent.

We chose The Feast because we couldn't decide between pizza and seafood and they had both! We had the grouper bites for a starter and they were very fresh and had a delicious crispy cornmeal breading. My husband had the shrimp and crab linguini Alfredo and it was also very good - creamy, cheesy, delicious - and came with a tasty garlic breadstick. I ordered the veggie pizza and it satisfied my pizza craving and was better than any other pizza I've had on the island in all my years visiting! The servers and host were extremely friendly and attentive and really made it a wonderful experience! We will absolutely be back and bring our family next time.

Short wait but we got there early, it's a small resturant. Brian our waiter was so nice and attentive. We had they'd homemade chips and Bleu cheese. Then two small salads and split a decedent slice of chocolate cake. All delicious. They also have pizzas. Trying one next time. Buyer beware on the salad protein is extra you could end up paying $25 for a salad that's crazy to me. Overall an excellent dinner

This restaurant was surprisingly good for being in a strip mall on a tourist island. The staff was very friendly and the estimated wait was accurate. We waited a little longer for a table outside that's basically on the sidewalk of the strip mall but they made the best of what they had. We started with the Firecracker Shrimp which was very good and carried a kick with it! The size was very favorable and it was more than enough for 4 of us to share. For dinner, our parents shared a large White Pizza and then 2 entrees that my wife and I had were the grouper special and Chicken Carbonara. My wife enjoyed the grouper and my parents loved their pizza. It was large enough to bring some home and enjoy the next day. My chicken carbonara was pretty good but the penne was over cooked and basically falling apart, which was a bummer. I enjoyed the garlic bread as a side and the portion of pasta was perfect. Don't judge this place by the sign and location, stop in and give it a shot!

We sat at the new bar (added since they reopened after the hurricanes). Drinks by Benjamin were amazing, and the Shrimp and Lobster risotto was out of this world!

First time patron here and you have me sold. We live only an hour away but are down for the week at a timeshare, and discovered this restaurant. You would totally not notice this place since it's buried in a strip mall, but it is so worth the stop. The menu has many appetizers, salads, entrees and pizza. Our server, William, was wonderful. He was attentive when we wanted him and he was behind the scenes when we didn't need him. We ordered a nice bottle of wine and then ordered our food. I ordered the pasta agrigento with chicken. There were so many items that interested me, but I was so happy with my choice. The flavors were so good and I finished my entire dish, which seldom happens. I would absolutely order this entree again. Overall, loved my food and the service.

The food was excellent! I had the Australian wagyu burger and It was amazing. I also shared the mozzarella wedges and that was delicious too! The place was certainly comfortable and it was very welcoming! Our waiter was extremely kind and helpful! We were in an out in about an hour. I would recommend eating here is you are in Anna Maria Island!

Paid high prices for horrid food. Grandsons pasta came with a hair. They wanted to charge for every little thing. Waitress didn't care that a kids meal had a hair in it. Fish was like rubber. Its a disaster. Do not recommend!

First of all, very happy these guys were able to reopen after the hurricane damage. But, the reopening has major renovations that make you feel like you're in a subway car. We had a party of 6 and the booth they put us in is obviously only designed for 4. Eating elbow to elbow was not pleasant. Secondly and more importantly was the food! With the exception of the lobster bisque, It was not good at all! The pasta's in all of our dishes was not cooked and all stuck together with the sauces. No one finished their meals. Too bad because we all loved this place year after year but this experience will not have us coming back.

Feast has reopened- smaller plates, smaller portions, higher prices and disappointing food. Pre hurricane this was one of my Fav restaurants--- not anymore. Hopefully maybe they will settle on better food and a better value for diners. Meantime I will be going elsewhere. Sorry to lose them as one of my staples.

Food was okay, went toward the end of the night so it was slammed. Great service nonetheless and our waiter helped my boyfriend and I choose our entrees.

Congratulations on your new space! The ambiance of the bar is exceptional, creating a welcoming and stylish atmosphere. The food is absolutely outstanding, showcasing both quality and creativity. Wishing you great success in this new location!

The service and food wasn't what I was expecting for a random place search! Our friend suggested this place since we were visiting and recommended to eat out with them! I just want to say the Firecracker Shrimp appetizer is something I will never forget. I wish I could order like 5 of these and have it be my meal! It's so good! The Shrimp and Crab Alfredo was just as good! Both was given so much flavor into the dish and I will definitely be back to this place when I visit Florida again but very impressed!

We found this place a few years back and still talk about the food. We had to pop back in when we were in town. It's still amazing!! We were greeted and sat quickly. The restaurant is an intimate size but very well laid out. The server was very nice and such a sweet person. She was willing to help with suggestions, very attentive. We ordered a beer and the red sangria- which was great. Glancing through the menu I found the same dish I had before Shrimp and Crab Alfredo. My husband went with one of the specials with two sides. Both were amazing. He couldn't stop taking about his dish. I LOVED mine....again. Full of shrimp and crab. Enough leftover to take a box with me for a nice lunch the next day. Definitely stop by if you are in the area.

I really do not understand why this place is not a 10/5... this place has been the best food we have eaten all week during our weeklong vacation. We have only been going to top rated restaurants, but this place beats everything we have eaten all week. My wife had the ribs, with garlic mashed potatoes and broccolini, best fall off the ribs... the sauce was perfect. I had the ribeye steak with the same sides as her. The steak was phenomenal. For dessert we had the deconstructed cheesecake; best cheesecake ever. It is one of those places where you can truly taste how savory, tasty and fresh everything is. If you are in Ana Marie Island, you would be a fool not to eat here. The service was amazing and the food came out fast. Also, this was the only place in the whole island where there water did not taste like pond water. They filter their water and you can actually enjoy your beverage of choice. If I would have known about this place earlier, I would have eaten here every night how good the food was. Everyone on here that is writing bad reviews do not know what they are talking about and are most likely the Karens no one likes anyways because this place was top notch in flavor and taste. Eat here and you will not be disappointed!

Nice atmosphere. Odd menu choices. Seems like they are torn between trying to be a high end restaurant but also appealing to a bar crowd. Escargot and onion rings on the same menu is a wide variety. Filet was basic, kind of stringy. Others in our party had grouper and said it was good but not great. The best thing we had was the fried mozzarella. I don't think we will try it again.

Staff was great! Good variety of beers! But the food was not great. Do not get the mac n cheese for you kid... it's a box of kraft mac n cheese that I make better at home. Sorry.

I have now eaten here twice and I plan on coming back a lot more often. While the atmosphere is sort of like a pizza place or a family style restaurant, the food is more like a high quality upscale restaurant. They seem to specialize in seafood with a cajun flair but they offer many and I do mean many other options. Everything I've eaten at The Feast has been outstanding. The grouper bites are perfectly prepared with just the right amount of coating, the clam chowder is great and the caprese salad with a side of a slightly thicker balsamic dressing is huge. They offer a nice selection of local and imported fish. These can be ordered several different ways including with a lobster sauce or a stew like Cajun preparation that is somewhat spicy but outstanding. There is usually a rissoto option and a few pastas. They always have a good sized regular menu as well as a page of specials. I've never even tried the pizza (yes they also make pizzas) but I can say that I saw a LOT of people picking up pizzas to Go so I assume they are good at that too. They offer a nice selection of craft beers on tap as well as some popular brews in bottles / cans. Their wine options seem to perfectly match the style of restaurant that it is. Reasonably priced and good quality for the money. I haven't tried the deserts yet but I'm sure I will at some point. Can't wait to go back. The prices aren't "cheap" but they are fair considering the high quality of the food. My only minor complaint is the appearance / setup. The tables outside are run of the mill picnic tables and the inside is sort of cave like. Having said this, it definitely won't keep me away. I do look forward to trying their pizza as well as many of the other fantastic options on the menu.

Attention was great, food was phenomenal! Highly recommend when you're on that side of town!

I never write reviews, but this was way too much and really ruined what was to be my anniverary dinner. We were there a few nights ago. i have never ever been in a place where you can hear a waitress in the back calling guests "aholes" and crying because she's not being treated well. you could hear everything from our table. We were also in the restaurant a week prior to that and everything seemed ok, but i heard the staff talking about the cooks being stoned???? which made sense because our food was late and not right. I don't know what kind of operation you are running, but i think it needs some adjusting. also, i find out that I'm drinking "wine" alchohol....what is that?

Our visit was wonderful!! We began with corn crab chowder, recommended by our great server. And followed with pizza, pepperoni and mushrooms!! This was delicious and we enjoyed every bite! Can't wait to go back and enjoy great food!

The pizza and cheese sticks didn't disappoint. We got The Works and Tasty white pizza. Both were very good. Service as great. Called ahead with reservations for outside and the fans kept it cool.

We started with the Excellent Escargot. Backed up with a couple of glasses of J. Lohr Cab. Then split a blackened Snapper sandwich. Coleslaw was a great side. Mmmmm We will be back. Hope to see you there !

I've had food here a couple times. The Snow Crab is excellent. Pizzas are wonderful. Shrimp is very good. Service was really nice. Definitely worth your time.

Quality of the food has declined significantly over the last year or two; especially the shrimp. The restaurant used to be kind of a hidden gem, but now is more like just a Red Lobster.

Atmosphere - OK. Nothing special. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and the decor inside is simple. The restaurant is relatively small. There is a combination of booths and stand alone tables that accommodate roughly 60 patrons. It is fairly loud in the restaurant when near capacity. Outside there are a couple of picnic tables under a canopy. Service - Excellent. In every way and by every measure our service was outstanding. Our server's name is William and he was a major factor in determining my overall rating. My entree was delivered in a timely manner and the food was hot. Food - Excellent. The dinner menu is a little odd. There is a variety but little depth in regard to entree options. However, most people should be able to find something that is appealing. I had the surf n turf, which is a 9 oz rib-eye and 6 large shrimp (with 4-5 preparation options). The steak was cooked to perfection. It was very tender and tasted great. I selected the coconut shrimp and it was excellent as well. Overall - Excellent. Setting aside the lack of ambiance, this was one of the best dining experiences that I have had over the past year. The entree was a reasonable $28. Trust me, I do not hand out 5 star rating often. This restaurant is a gem.
