    Popped into this spot for a quick happy hour. It's right by the water with a big patio. The happy hour menu has a decent selection. Our server was really nice and attentive. They have live music DAILY so this is a great spot for the music lovers. The regular menu has so many options from brick over pizzas, sandwiches, fill dinners and lots of starters. All in all a solid little find in Bradenton!

    Good spot on the water it's in the pricey side. To be honest it's not bad if u like the food I am not much of a fan I am picky on food and not much I would eat but the people in the party enjoyed there food. A lot the band was good had people on there food staff is good pleasant it's a nice place and yes I would recommend

    I feel like the menu has changed significantly since my last dining experience and, in my opinion, for the better. I found a number of dinner options that I found of interest. I settled on the Pork Ribeye and I was not disappointed. The pork was very tender and it was an ample size. The truffle mashed potatoes were very good as well. The honey mustard glaze complimented and enhanced the pork flavor significantly. I will say, however, the vegetables were extremely over cooked and pretty much inedible. It ordered the Clam was a starter and it was OK, but nothing special. Our service was sub standard. The restaurant was very busy and our server disappeared for extended periods of time, to the point where we wanted drink refills and could not find or server. Overall, the experience was an improvement over my last experience and review. However, the restaurant continues to fall short of expectations (especially in light of the fact that prices are a little high given the menu options)

    Wow, what a great little outdoor dining place! The only reason that they didn't get a five from us was that the wine they served was being stored at the outside bar and was a tinge fizzy; no bueno. EVERYTHING food was AMAZING! We ordered a few starters- dragon roll, the caprese salad tower, and two fish tacos. The servings were easily shared and delicious. We will definitely be back! FYI- we did let the staff know about the Pino issue and they removed the charge from the bill. The staff was pleasant and even though we were outside it was nice and comfortable to relax and dine. Try this gem soon!!

    Excellent food! Excellent service! Excellent music! It was all wonderful! And all the plates coming out looked delicious! We sat at the bar and our server was nice and attentive! The place gets packed but they have plenty of help to serve you ! We will be back for sure! Highly recommend!

    Had a great visit here tonight! 'The Jam Rocks" played live and they were GREAT with awesome weather, the ambience was perfect! Had the Chicken Wings/Asian X Well and they were actually crave worthy! Hot and fresh! Great flavor and cooked perfectly! I had the Greek Salad which was Ok. My lamb chops were over cooked and it was really A LOT of 'Spring Lettuce Mix' more than anything! I enjoyed it but wouldn't order it again. Our server was Neli, pleasant, fun and completely on top of all service aspects of our table, GREAT Job!

    I'd read mixed reviews but why pass up a casual dining place on the water?…read more I found a parking spot close by and opted to walk instead of taking the xl golf cart that they offer rides to the restaurant. It's hot out and there's a breeze and the restaurant is at a marina so lots of boats to look at while walking. When I entered the restaurant I told the desk I had a reservation and I was immediately seated. The waiter asked if I wanted a drink as he dropped off the menu and I said I'd like a minute - a place like this you really need to soak up the view. When he returned with water I ordered a draft and a couple half size happy hour appetizers to start. The oysters were good - decent size, not briny and they came with lemon, horseradish cocktail sauce and a tiny bottle of Tabasco. The conch fritters were very good, I especially liked the sauce they came with. They were crispy on the outside and soft and pretty good flavor on the inside. Decided on the fish bites appetizer for the rest of today's meal - the fish came out quick and was hot and tasted fresh. Service was great, food good.... If there's any negative it's that maybe the fryer oil is not at temp or needs changing as all the fried food seemed a little darker than I expected....still tasted good though. I'll definitely be back - had a couple good suggestions from the waiter that I can't wait to try.

    My wife and I were visiting a friend in Bradenton, and we were hungry, so we stopped by here before…read moreheading home, as I had a hankering for some seafood. We parked and walked the deck to the restaurant, we walked in and were greeted by the host, and were asked if we wanted to sit inside or out, we chose out and were led to a table on the deck, which had a beautiful view of the water, and gave us menus. Our server came and brought us water, we ordered something to drink and perused the menu. There was lots to choose from, and even though I wanted fish, I saw the burger and nearly went with that, but I decided to get the Blackened Mahi sandwich instead, I also ordered the Smoked Mahi Fish Dip as an appetizer. The fish dip came, complete with the prerequisite saltines, which I love, and while the dip was okay, it wasn't great. Not very smoky and too tuna-salady. Still, i enjoyed it, and it was a large portion. My wife ordered a burger, and they bought hers as well as my sandwich. They were both on brioche buns, and I was disappointed that the buns were not toasted- that would've made the sandwiches! My Mahi was okay, good flavor and firm flesh, I wish I had ordered black beans & yellow rice, however, as the fries were not very inspiring. We finished and got the bill, I should've asked before ordering, as the Mahi sandwich was listed as "MP," it was a whopping $28.00! While it was good, it wasn't $30 bucks good, but hey, you're paying for the view. This is a nice place inside, and the view of the water are spectacular but it is a bit pricey in my book. However, our server was awesome, as well as the staff, so I would definitely come back here.

    We all stopped in for a bite and a beer. It's been a while…read moreand wanted to give the place another chance. Last time it was mediocre fried food. This time : 8 of us arrived at 8pm. Orders messed up multiple times None of the plates brought out to table landed at the right person. Draft beer ordered came out in bottles. Soda - a few orders - came out flat. Food was marginal: None of the first batch of fries came out warm. 6 plates. The replacement fries sent out later were fried to desiccation. Smash burgers were good. Philly pork sandwich was on point too. Mussels tasted like ammonia. But we were advised by the.sharp talking manager they were "fresh" (not old as I, a 40 year fisherman suggested). She gleamed when she stated she took them off the bill. (? Ok. Thanks?) And said she'd talk to her supplier. Sorry folks. If you have the food in your custody it's on you if you if you choose to serve food that's spoiled. Not recommended. As locals we try to keep in palmetto. But these guys all seemed more interested in getting us out so they could go home. Changed from an angry * to ** as my lovely wife reminded me the burgers were good. And the $7 beers in bottle - not flat.

The only thing was that all the food was old, there was no bread available and most of the choices were no longer being replenished. But we still paid the same as everyone else. I do not have a problem with the lack of options and the older food at the end of the buffet but i believe if I will not get the same quality as the earlier people and the options they should lower the price for the scraps squad. I don't think this is a place I would recommend

    Super experience at this charming Hungarian restaurant in Bradenton…read more We have never tried Hungarian food, so this sparked our attention. Walked in and let them know it was our first time and Alexa took care of us all the way through. We ordered mushroom crepe that was very tasty. It was called Bakonyi Palacsinta. We shared our entree which was a potato crusted chicken with salad. This is called Karpati Borzacska. Both were amazing and tasty. The cherry on top was our dessert which is a chocolate rum sponge cake with walnut and raisin with chocolate syrup. Sounds rich right? It was not. It was a perfect balance and not too sweet believe it or not. It is called Somloi.

You can tell the food is freshly prepared when you hear the schnitzel being pounded in the kitchen and ten minutes later, it is served at the table next to you. It was a great dining experience and I will be back for sure.
