    I notice that Rod & Reel is listed noting it is no longer & is in red. The others in red do not mention problems…is there a reason for different colors of listings?

      Hi Andrea. After hurricanes Helene and Milton, Anna Maria Island restaurants are slowly opening back up. The restaurants in red are not yet open and the restaurants in green are open. izzy
