Beach House Restaurant Unveils Renovations, New Front Deck

BRADENTON BEACH, FL – Residents and visitors to Manatee County can now enjoy one of its most popular restaurants year round.

The Chiles Restaurant Group announced the completion of the Beach House Restaurant’s new outdoor bar and waterfront deck. This was the final phase of a four-phase project that took nearly four years to complete.

“We wanted it to be a world-class location and adhere to the principals of sustainability and eco-consciousness while providing a space where our guests feel welcome and invited to enjoy,” said Ed Chiles, owner of the Beach House Restaurant. “Causal waterfront dining at its best, that was our goal.”

The Beach House Restaurant, located at 200 Gulf Drive N. in Bradenton Beach, opened its doors in 1993. It’s known for serving fresh, local gulf-to-table seafood and farm-to-fork produce on the banks of the Gulf of Mexico.

With its most recent renovations, the Beach House Restaurant will now be able to serve its guest year round in all weather. With transparent vinyl curtains and overhead heaters and misters, diners will be able to sit outside with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico in any type of weather, rain or wind condition. Also, a new, state-of-the-art rotating overhead awning system rotates 180 degrees to allow for total sunlight or closes to allow for complete cover and shade.

The restaurant’s toes-in-the-sand seating options are still available.

In addition to the new and improved deck, the Chiles Restaurant Group installed an extensive and large native landscaping project, advance sustainable water system and a state-of-the-art kitchen and bakery where Ted Louloudes bakes house-made breads for all three of the chain’s restaurants.

Bradenton Beach City engineer Lynn Burnett developed the restaurant’s water filtration system, which allows for the collection, processing and cleaning of rainwater by directing it to percolate through the permeable sand and stone material that makes up its parking lots.

Instead of allowing the water to sit on top of cement and concrete – or run off into the bay and gulf – the water absorbs into the sand and stone material. It’s then cleaned and absorbed into the underground aquifer. The project, the largest commercial example of its kind in the state, has been recognized by several state agencies.
