UTC
Anna Maria Oyster Bars at UTC boasts a 40-seat indoor-outdoor raw bar. Its crown jewel is the shucking station tiled with “fish scales,” where a crew of Shucking Specialists crack open raw oysters fresh to order.
From the moment you sit down, it’ll be tough to choose which Boat Drink, our NEW selection of tropical craft cocktails, to sample first. Most of these specialty drinks include house-made pineapple-infused spirits or our very own Oysters Rock Rum Blend. Perhaps you’ll peruse the NEW Wine List full of well-known bottles you crave, plus brands you’ve yet to discover.
UTC’s dining menu is also infused with fresh, bold flavors in NEW dishes like the Tropical Chicken Bowl or the Tuna Tango. Exciting salads have also joined the party – John’s favorite is the Seafood Cobb Salad while Tim’s Bourbon Salmon Salad is also a crowd-pleaser.
You won’t want to miss the Chimichurri & Pickled Red Onion topping for your Ocean Blue Cobia, or the latest selection of boutique oysters sourced from the best small-batch farms up and down the coast.
The entire restaurant is eye-candy, with Five Star Fun interior elements like a 60′ crab trap installation…a 20×20′ mural memorializing the original AMOB once located on the Anna Maria City Pier…multiple hand-painted murals…even a chandelier of upcycled oyster shells, where wooden fish swim about.
We’re so glad to finally welcome you, and can’t wait to meet our new neighbors in the UTC/Lakewood Ranch area!

Noah Thurnau
General Manager
Born and raised in Sarasota, Florida, Noah has been part of the Oysters Rock Hospitality family since he was just 16. A proud Palmetto High School graduate, he followed in his sister’s footsteps after hearing how much she loved working for the company—and he hasn’t looked back since.
Over the years, Noah has become a friendly, familiar face to both guests and teammates alike. One of his most unforgettable moments? Helping plan a surprise birthday party for a beloved regular named Anita at the Ellenton location. “Her family celebrated with us before she passed, and I’ll never forget being part of that moment,” he shares.
At home, Noah may be a little more low-key—his pet would probably tell you he sleeps and lounges a lot. But at work? He’s up early, fueled by the biggest black Americano on the menu, ready to take on whatever the day brings.
Christmas keeps him up at night (in the best way), and Japan is at the top of his travel bucket list. He’s all about creating memories, connecting with people, and—let’s be honest—enjoying a big plate of Blackened Chicken Alfredo with Island sauce and broccoli whenever he gets the chance.
