Sign of the Mermaid, a charming small quaint cottage built in 1912, is one of the finest restaurants on Anna Marie Island . The menu boasts a variety of Florida and European selections. The chefs are the owners, the Springs, who take care to satisfy the customer's desires as the menu is based solely on customer's most popular requests. You can select from a selection of seafood such as their well-known pan-roasted grouper and blue crab to their hand cut steak, duck and lamb.
