"I went for my second time and the food is okay, the ambience & scenery is gorgeous everyone I was with enjoyed their food but for some reason what I got the last time (fish tacos) and this time (pineapple chicken) was just okay but that won't stop me from going back!"

"A 3 star restaurant with a 4 star view. Good dinner place. Great view. Service was ok. I hear the brunch is good.I had the ribs w cheddar mashed potatoes and broccoli. The ribs were tender; good. The potatoes were also good thanks to the cheese and broccoli was so so with no real flavor. The coconut shrimp app was very good. My family enjoyed..." Read more

"The service was fantastic (Mark as waiter). Salmon came out undercooked the first time but the manger came out and apologized furiously. Other dishes were hot and delicious.
(P.S. Ask about Gary the bird)"

"Very, very nice restaurant. The food is delicious and fair-priced ($$) and the ambience is very comfortable and inviting. I got a wonderful seat inside by the window to look out at the water. Very busy place, but I was seated with no wait time.To start off, I ordered coffee to drink and for an appetizer I got their calamari. Most calamari I've had is..." Read more

"The snook deck outside is great for happy hour (3-6 pm). The location right on the Manatee river is great. Drinks are $3-5 and small plates of food are $5. You will not be satisfied with one or even two small plates, but at least you can try different items for a reasonable price. The customer service has been good every time. I have been coming to this rest..." Read more

"Beautiful view, definitely the best part. Food over priced and just average. Left hungry after a $20 lunch and I'm a light eater. Will not be going back, I eat out for the food, the view should just be an added bonus."

"Very nice location and good service! We had a great and honest waitress who was very helpful in selecting and recommending meals. The shrimp pasta was excellent. The apple pie desert was not very good."

"Awesome lunch and great service. My 82 yr old parents are still talking about their 5star lobster pot pie. The view of the marina & river is one of the best spots on the Manatee River. We will return soon!"

"Really cool place. The food was good not great. I loved the lobster chowder. The outdoor seating and views are amazing especially during sunset. Staff was very friendly. Cool walk out the pier to the actual restaurant makes a very unique experience.
We will be back!"

"Visited this on a recommendation and could not have been happier. The setting was great for sunset dinner. Service was outstanding. The waiter was there before you asked. Both my wife and I had seafood and the portions are great and the food was superb. Definitely going to be a regular stop when visiting the area."

"Had heard good things....BUT did not have a good experience. We made reservations and were seated promptly. It took about 15 minutes for a waitress to arrive at our table. We ordered apps and after about 20 minutes someone other than our waitress dropped off one of the apps and left...15 minutes later our waitress showed up again and said "didn't you..." Read more

"This place is more about the location than the food. I've never had complaints about the food but it isn't anything to write home about. The view definitely makes up for it. The restaurant is positioned at the end of a pier and provides for a beautiful view, especially at sunset. If you sit outside, you feel like you are sitting in the middle of the river. T..."

"Although the food is OK and waitress service very good, do not trust the establishment to honor any coupon. My experience last night was ridiculous. After ordering the Fish Bites appetizer and mentioning the Free Appetizer coupon, the MANAGER refused to honor it because it was for a free LARGER order than the happy hour SMALLER order that we received. Abs..." Read more

"Great service, an outstanding meal and delicious dessert to top it all. My husband and I started out with an order of Goddess Shrimp. We're both convinced that is some of the best shrimp we've had. The bread that was brought out was baked to perfection and served with a cinnamon butter. De-licious. We each order different fish from the dinner meals. Both mea..." Read more

"Trust those who Yelp regularly...Great location WITHOUT crazy, high prices.I'm from San Diego, next to the Pacific and bordering Mexico, and the grilled Mahi tacos (recommended by my waitress Murphy) were just as good, if not better than back home... Not as spicy as home though.The housemade chips were amazing, though the coleslaw was..." Read more

"While visiting in Florida recently, we dined here with my wife's family. The first thing that you love about this restaurant is the view...it's right on the water. Unfortunately, we were here on a rainy day. In nice weather, sitting outside would be ideal. Two things to get to before the main courses...1) The bread was good, but the cinnamon butter t..."
