"12+ year customer - sadly worst experience here in all those years.   2 hours for a simple lunch with excuse that family with baby came in after us required the baby food right away and a table got wrong bill which caused management to be unable to correct.   So why a restaurant which 2 other waiters passed multiple times with many meals didn't fix ours we w..."

"Went on a beautiful Saturday afternoon for lunch and had to wait about 30 minutes for an outside table. Not surprisingly because their location is right in the marina on the Manatee River.Worth the wait. We split fish tacos and their version of spicy shrimp. Huge number of shrimp, I think 18, but I lost count as my wife was piling my share on my plat..." Read more

"I ordered the grouper blackened with aioli, crab dip and Caesar salad. We had poor service topped with poor food execution (cold, no drink refills, not clearing the plates, incorrect or missing sides, etc.). The waitress didn't apologize for the inconveniences or get the manager as she indicated. It's a nice location but we will not be back."

"The wait at 6:00pm was extensive, primarily due to some tables drinking coffee to watch the sunset.  Worth the wait!!!  Coconut shrimp was awesome.  Teriyaki salmon bowl was outstanding.  Owner is great and felt bad we had to wait due to coffee drinkers at sunset.  Service was excellent.  Great atmosphere.  Worth the wait."

"Great food and atmosphere! We have now been for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The spicy tacos with shrimp are great! I opted out of having my shrimp fired! So delicious. I would recommend using open table to make a reservation. Outside is great and fun!"

"The location is awesome. The drinks were great. Too bad the food was subpar. Nothing special about the food at all. Had the Shrimp PoBoy which was really just a sandwich with about 6 unremarkable shrimp on it. Someone in that kitchen needs to understand what a PoBoy is or rename it to shrimp sandwich. My wife and I got the feeling that most of the food was p..." Read more

"Can't wait to come back! Food was good. Service was excellent. Mimosas, tequila sunrise, or Bloody Mary's were all $4. I had a breakfast club that I can't wait to have again! My mom had the eggs Benedict. We didn't have a reservation, but only waited 10 mins at 10:00am on a Saturday and still got to sit outside by the water."

"Two of us went for dinner here.  It is ON The water with great views of the city and boat traffic.  Parking is tight so go early.  There is a golf car shuttle to get you from parking down a long pier if you need it.  We checked in and were told 45 minutes for a table for two so we sat at the bar for drinks and an app but 10 minutes later, our table was ready..."

"I really wanted to like this place. (The downstairs part). I love places on the water, and this one is very close to the ballpark which makes for a nice outing, especially these days when I'd rather be outside to eat. If you're just coming for drinks while enjoying the view, this place would fit the bill. The water is lovely and relaxing after a day out. Sad..." Read more

"I just moved here in August 2020. I'm telling you I've been ordering the kickin' chicken once a week if not every other since then. It was hands down the best. Everyone who visited us from Boston had to have it when here. I hate to have to write this but recently not only has it gone up in price from $7 to $9, the chicken is not cut up into small bites, you..." Read more

"This establishment deserves way more than 5 stars. It's located at the end of a boat dock, so you get to take a casual walk along the dock and see all the beautiful boats, ships and yachts along the way. Once you reach the restaurant, the atmosphere inside is perfect. The lighting is magnificent, and the views are spectacular of the water. This upscale looki..." Read more

"Probably the best duck I have ever had in my life. We ordered the wagyu beef pot stickers & fried maki for our appetizers. Both are a MUST! For dinner we had the hanger steak and the duck. Amazing is an understatement. The dishes were so well balanced and packed with great combinations of flavors. we finished off the dinner with their famous banana foste..." Read more

"1st experience here, arrived on a early Saturday evening without a reservation,  the front desk staff could care less if you're there in front of them. No acknowledgement of a greeting whatsoever for literally 5 minutes. 5 minutes is a long time to watch a staff of 3 or 4 to be ignored. Right then I wanted to leave but I was hungry and waited it out...." Read more

"Nice palmetto restaurant on the water. We chose the 2nd floor this time. The duck was quite good along with the broccoli and potatoes. Also the s allows were well prepared as well. The Negroni was awesome but the margaritas were not so great. Service was good but slow for some reason. Nice place."

"This is one of our favorite locations in the Bradenton area. The menu is thorough and affordable, with touches of more elegant sea food establishment. The ambiance out-paces the prices. We have visited several times during the winter months and are impressed with the improvements since the remodel. Heading back there when we are the area again."

"I can't complain about the food or service, I will complain about the price increase of the food and drinks.   Pre-covid a burger was $12, the last year or so it's been $9.50 now all of a sudden it's jumped past the original price to $13.  Domestic beers went up $.50. Well drinks went up $1.00.   These are only a few examples of the many many price increases..." Read more

Service - Average. Our server was pleasant and attentive at first. We were the sole patrons at the restaurant for the first 15-20 minutes. We waited 40 min..." Read more
