"Reserved 3 days previously, only to arrive and find our table in direct sun with the canopy broken. However, we made the best of it and ordered 2 apps which were tasty but tiny. Our main dishes were nicely presented and very good. Our server was attentive as well. Oh, and our bottle of house pinot grigio was only $9 because of happy hour. All in all, a nice..." Read more

"Whenever I visit family in Florida, I ask to come here. The food and cocktails are very good. I enjoyed the lobster risotto on my last visit. Others in my party love the kickin' chicken, kickin shrimp and the grouper bites. However, I love this...More"

"We had a group of 7 people and they handled us very well. It has a lovely view and lots of deck seating. I loved my lobster pot pie and everyone else seemed to like their food. Service was very good for a busy Sunday."

"Four family members dined on the Sunday buffet and it was delicious as were the Mimosas. The best part of our dining experience was the courteous, helpful and humorous Ariel. We truly enjoyed our meal and most especially Ariel. Thank you. We'll see you again."

"This restaurant being right on the water with a wide wrap around deck that is perfect for river/sunset viewing has really reasonable prices for lunch and dinner. Sandwiches were about $12-15 and entrees were upper teens, which is standard pricing for seafood restaurants with no view and poor service. We received excellent table service outside on deck during..." Read more

"The food is excellent, as well as the service. It is a favorite of mine. When I want to drive to a waterfront restaurant, this is the place I choose. Afterwards, we walk and look at all of the boats there. This is a fantastic place to dine and relax."

"Walking to the end of the pier is well worth it to dine here. Almost every table offers a gorgeous view of the Manatee River. And the food is very good. It was our first time dining here and we would definitely return. And for those who can't do the walk there are shuttles."
