Picture this: the sun is setting over Lake Anna, casting a golden glow upon the water as you glide into the dock of a charming lakeside restaurant. With a seamless transition from boat to table, you can indulge in the exquisite cuisine while savoring the tranquility of your surroundings. At Lake Anna, dining isn’t just about eating a meal – it’s an experience woven into luxury, comfort and the timeless allure of waterfront living.
Pulling up to a restaurant by boat isn’t only convenient, but also makes for a fun adventure for you and the family. Whether you’re whizzing the waters in the morning to find the best coffee on the lake or setting sail at sunset for a relaxing dinner and libations, you can dock and dine almost any time on Lake Anna.
Tim’s at Lake Anna is one of the most popular spots and is easily accessible by boat from the northwestern part of the lake. This family-friendly waterfront restaurant is open year-round with both indoor and outdoor dining. They serve American cuisine and seafood while offering stellar views of the lake. Indulge in your fresh seafood favorites like locally caught fish and crabs or enjoy a delicious burger, sandwich or steak. And no matter where you sit, you can catch gorgeous panoramic views of the lake.
Looking for a lively spot to dock? The Cove at Lake Anna is a secluded getaway near the northern side of the lake. This full restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and features a bar, a stage for live music and cool entertainment opportunities. Their menu offers something for everyone, even the kids. Overlook Lake Anna while enjoying a special seafood dish or American entrée and then head downstairs to Pirates Cove for cornhole in the sand and live music from local performers. Oh, and did I mention that they also have a killer happy hour?
Endless activities also await at Pleasant’s Landing at Lake Anna. Not only can you buy or rent boats from here, but it’s also home to El Gran Patron Mexican Restaurant, a public beach, visitor info and more. There are plenty of boat slips and anchor spots, which makes it easy to hop out of the boat and enjoy.
