We visited Daiquiri Deck Bradenton Beach on December 30th with a party of seven, and the experience…read morewas disappointing from start to finish. We arrived around 12:30 and didn't leave until about 2:30, mostly due to extremely slow service. The restaurant appeared to be understaffed -- our server was actually the bartender, who was clearly stretched thin trying to manage both the bar and multiple tables. Our appetizers took a long time to arrive, and when they finally did, they were barely warm. The entrées weren't any better. My Cuban sandwich and their $7 "premium" fries came out lukewarm, and I didn't feel well afterward. Other dishes at the table were also cold: the grilled shrimp on the nachos, and the chicken and shrimp that were supposed to be added to a pasta dish didn't even arrive with the meal. When they finally showed up, they were cold too. We brought the issues to the staff's attention. While the manager took $50 off the bill, they never came to the table to apologize or acknowledge the problems. For a busy holiday week on Anna Maria Island, you'd expect a restaurant to be prepared, but this was unacceptable -- slow service, poorly handled food, and no accountability from management. This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had on the island, and I hope the restaurant seriously reevaluates its leadership and staffing.

The only donut place that I could find during our weekend stay…read more Small place with lots of variety from desserts to savory treats and even gluten free options. **My issue with this place is that the donuts and bagels that I was interested in were out in the open and uncovered so there were flies over them!!** I purchased a maple glazed vanilla filled donut, an apple fritter, 6 donut holes, and 5 different bagels. I spent near $30 and most of it went to the trash as they were hard and not fresh at all. There was only one young man working, and while nice, he seemed bored and uninviting. Needless to say, I wouldn't return unless they get a covered donut display at least.

While there aren't that many sandwich options, we went with the BBQ turkey bacon ranch, which comes with turkey, cheddar cheese, bacon, ranch, and bacon jam on a pretzel roll. It was a great combination, and I thought the bacon jam added a nice touch. I also decided to try a cheesecake when I went in to pick up the sandwiches. I ordered the strawberry and peanut butter.

We were quickly seated for lunch, and our server was attentive and friendly throughout the entire visit. We both ordered the chicken tortilla soup, and it was amazing -- incredibly rich, flavorful, and comforting. Definitely a standout! Service and food were both excellent. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the inside of the restaurant smelled a bit stale, and unfortunately the women's restroom had an unpleasant odor. Hoping that's something that can be addressed, because otherwise it was a really great lunch experience.

A lot of the old staff came back, a great sign when we arrived. Tonight's menu felt very similar to pre-hurricane menu. We got two grouper dishes (pecan crusted and blackened over Parmesan pasta) and both were incredible. Added on shishito peppers, shrimp curry puffs, corn bread, and a very unique onion dish that I can best describe as a soup-less French onion soup. Service was excellent, and cocktails were good, if small. My only complaint was that the beer menu dropped off - they used to carry a nice variety on tap and local brews but mostly bland big-name beers now. I'll definitely be back again, glad to have it in the rotation of great local restaurants!

Drunk people dancing & filming themselves. Otherwise, outside would be nice. Table next to us was a group of 5 extremely intoxicated adults w/ a toddler. Unfortunately, food wasn't great - entrees $38-$49 for greasy potatoes, asparagus & a average sized piece of grouper covered in some sort of batter that seemed like a cracker... the entire time, you're thinking ...did this really cost $65 plus salads and drinks came to $195 for two adults -I'll stick to Shore LBK and Harry's moving forward.

Our server was very polite and attentive. Great option for families too, with a kids menu featuring crowd-pleasers like chicken fingers and fries. There's also a fun little gift shop inside to browse, and plenty of parking, which makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
