Mario's comes out on top as the best Italian bistro in town. This small, cozy restaurant is tucked away inside a strip mall on Gulf Boulevard and is definitely worth searching for. Dine on authentic Veal Piccata and Chicken Parmesan cooked to perfection, and for dessert sample homemade cannoli or Tiramisu. Seating is limited and the bistro fills up quickly.
Gulf Bistro offers classically prepared French cuisine from this intimate eatery at 15225 Gulf Boulevard. Dine in or sit at one of their outdoor tables to enjoy the scenery. Begin with succulent escargot followed by tender Coq au Vin and end with Crème Brulee. An unpretentious bistro with wonderful ambiance makes this a beachside treasure.
If it's sushi you're after, look no further than Osaka Sushi Bar. Located in a strip mall along Madeira Way, it may not look like much from the outside, but the sushi is the best this side of, well, Osaka. Locals recommend trying the Snow Crab Roll, the Tuna Tornado or the Sexy Man. Noted for their friendly atmosphere, when you return for a second visit they'll remember you from the first. How friendly is that?
Waltz Seafood Grill is hidden in a back corner near the fishing area of John's Pass Village at 224 Boardwalk and serves only fresh-off-the-boat hand caught seafood. The chalkboard menu is limited as a result, and changes daily. Grouper is one of the favored fish along with the freshest shrimp you'll ever taste. Make sure to arrive early because when they run out, they close the doors.
