So disappointed. The last time we were there everything was great. Today prices have gone up, quality has gone down and our wait person was just not the type of person who should be serving people. Mussels were expensive and so tiny they were hard to find. We had a pizza that was burned. There was barely anyone in the restaurant. read more

I suddenly realize that happy hour has been cut back to 6 PM instead of 7 PM. I'm not happy about that since I don't get off work till 530. Please change it back to 7 PM by the way Andy, Aaron, Adam and Tyler are all fabulous bartenders. read more

Teriyaki Shrimp Wrap was delicious! The teriyaki was a nice flavor with the lettuce. A little drippy but goooood! Very refreshing on a hot day. I paired it with sweet potato fries and enjoyed it tremendously. Daughter said her Caprice Focaccia was good. Hubby enjoyed his turkey wrap. It was packed full. Staff was super sweet. Outdoor dining is where it's at in Florida. read more

Last min large reservation and they did not disappoint. Pizza oven was broken tho so that was a bummer.

This is a real hidden gem in Bradenton. Right near the Riverwalk area, Mattison's was a nice find. the service was great and friendly. It's only outdoor seating... But fortunately the weather was nice that day. The meatloaf was superb... Along with the shrimp Rangoon. Will definitely be back, food and ambiance was superb. read more

Went here last Saturday honestly only because we had won a $50 gift card. While it is technically on the river walk, the view is of a parking lot with no water in sight. Service was fine and we had no trouble making last minute reservations at 6 pm on a Saturday night. There was ample free parking. We were in time for happy hour and my seabreeze was good. Husband liked his Diet Pepsi and captain Morgan. Got the shrimp Rangoon app and it was yummy but very saucy. 5 large shrimp which tasted fresh. It was downhill from there for me. My firecracker chicken sandwich was a dud- almost tasteless with more bun than chicken. Sweet potato fries were good. Husbands burger was fine and his fries were good as well. We both got the apple slaw for our second side and had to search for the apple. Dressing was very bland. We would not return. read more

We had a reservation for 4 to sit in the music side for dinner at 6 pm. We waited at our table about 10 to 15 minutes before the waiter came to the table. He took our drink order and proceeded to bring it to the table next to us. He finally figured out they belonged to us. He had forgotten one of the drinks and asked us again what was the 4th drink. When he came back with that drink and ice water on the tray, he set them on the table and hit me in the head with his tray. Clueless he didn't even apologize. He took our order and when the food came the filet mignon that one of us ordered never came. The waiter was not the one to bring the food. He never came back and we had to get up and walk to the bar to tell another server that we were missing an entree. They said they would put the order in and bring it out. The steak finally came (brought out by the manager or someone else) and said they would "take care of it". It was prepared close to rare when ordered as medium. That server never came back to our table the entire time except to bring the bill. This was the worst dining service I've had in years. As first timers to the restaurant we won't return or recommend it. That server is in the wrong profession. The food was also Luke warm when it arrived. Overall, a terrible dining experience for $150 even after the steak was removed from the bill. Do not recommend. read more

A quick dinner. Outdoor patio has a great energy and view of River.Clam chowder was very good , tuna stack was just ok. Avria, my server was excellent! read more

We went here for our first Thanksgiving out dinner. We were not disappointed! I'm used to all the cooking and food prep. This year we moved and had no kitchen (hurricane stuff). The traditional Thanksgiving dinner was excellent. The truffle mashed potatoes were nothing short of a taste sensation! I seriously enjoyed each and every bite. We did call fat enough in advance for reservations but it was well worth the cost. I believe we paid $39 for the dinner without dessert/drinks. We would do it again but for now I'm looking forward to this year cooking my own. Mattison's is a family go to restaurant with our vegetarians enjoying their regular menu as well. It was a beautiful day and the outdoor seating is lovely. read more

We enjoyed our dinner and especially the tiramisu for dessert it was one of the best we have had at any restaurant in Fl. We will definitely be going back for more. Thank you from a NY Italian read more

The food was good and Sarah was an excellent server. She was friendly and checked on us frequently to be sure we didn't need anything.

Wonderful food great atmosphere beautiful place to dine outside, the views are relaxing the food is exciting and the people are friendly next time you're in Florida stop by and say hi read more

We randomly stopped here on our way to the Bradenton Riverwalk. It wasn't cold out, mid-70s but the restaurant was outdoors under an awning so that temperature with the wind was a little chilly. Nothing to do with the restaurant or service, just an observation of the day. Our waitress was very prompt, friendly, and informative. I wound up with the crispy chicken sandwich and fries, which was good. I was torn between that and the gumbo. In hindsight I should have gone for the gumbo as I try to go the healthier route and I could also get a chicken sandwich pretty much anywhere. read more

Absolutely excellent food!! Served by Amica, excellent, friendly waitress. A must visit!! read more

I'm staying across the street and popped in for an easy dinner. There was a great classic rock band playing live music, super chill vibe, and the grouper was awesome. My server, Rachel, was great and gave me perfect recommendations. Also, the coconut mojito is fantastic. read more

Excellent service... tasty fare... tuna tartar, gumbo, fish sandwich, glazed salmon entree, coleslaw with a touch of cranberry. For our tastes, the tuna tartar would be much better with smaller diced pieces of tuna and the avocado more 'present'... Overall, the tuna tartar had a wonderful flavor including the little spicy (spiral, tiny rice noodles?)​ that added to each bite. The salmon entrée was tasty though the piece of salmon was quite small for the dish size and presentation. The gumbo was good, but seemed more like an etouffe' and less like a gumbo soup. For us, as to the Gumbo... we'd prefer no tails on the shrimp (makes for messy eating as this is a gumbo/soup) and each fish piece was too large to fit in ones' mouth; nicer, too, if the scallops were rinsed a bit better before adding to the gumbo. Overall, a very nice meal. read more

Recommended by a neighbor. First negative was table was sticky to the touch. Server was friendly, service was good and she would get a four. Food was disappointing to me; my guests had better experiences. My salmon was basically bland, small and disappointing over a bed of greens that had too much texture. The turkey wrap was "good, but nothing special." With so many places to try, I don't think I will return. read more

We went here on a whim on a Saturday . We ordered a mimosa, bloody Mary, and two appetizers. The Ahi Tuna stack was the best thing ever. It's so simple yet scrumptious! We also had the fried green tomatoes as well. They were good, too. The ambiance was nice, just very pricey for what you receive, which is normal now a days. We might return in the future for dinner. We'll see. read more

Great location! I can't say anything bad about the food. It was delicious. The fried chicken was crispy and tender inside, the burger was packed with flavor, I gobbled it up too fast and even the coleslaw was pretty good! The service was great but the waiter was a little scatterbrained. The indoor courtyard vibe gives the restaurant great natural light so definitely stop by during a sunny day. read more

This place had its ups and downs for us. We had been walking the riverwalk and asked if there was indoor seating (there's a large outdoor patio) . We were lead in to what seemed like an old storage area that was changed into inside dining Which we shortly learned that's what it was. It was completely outdoors but they renovated part of it and added about half a dozen tables. It was an echoey area but it was cool and our server was super friendly. We ordered a couple tropical drinks and after waiting quite a while our waitress ce back an apologized stating the drinks were taking longer than expected. Which was weird because there was ONE other person there. We finally got our drinks and ordered the hose cheese bruschetta for a snack. Drinks and food were well made and hit the spot! Again, our waitress was fantastic, that bartender, who knows read more

We visited Mattison's for our anniversary dinner. We were seated by our server Kevin in a great location close to one of their heaters since it was a bit chilly outside. The food and drinks were great! We will definitely be back! Thank you Kevin! read more

I do have an excellent musician to recommend! His name is John Ford and he is a student of old times Blues. He has played in the Bradenton Area for a few years and has been well received. He is a perfect fit for your Sunday Brunch! johnfordblues.com read more

NOT dog friendly. Well, they seemed friendly towards dogs overall, but they are not allowed in the restaurant. Just posting an update because this comes up as a dog friendly restaurant in the area. food looked great though! read more

The service was slow. We sat there for 15minutes before someone came over to ask as for drinks. Another ten minutes fir the drinks. We had to ask where our server was. Bingo then we got drinks. She took our orders. That was slow too. Then my salad I added chicken, no chicken. I canceled the chicken and just had the salad. The place was usually quiet. We've been there in the past and it was always jumping. It'll be a while before we return. read more

Too loud but the service was great 5 stars, The ambiance was loud, but we had an amazing experience there

The past couple of times I have been to Mattison's I've been there with a group of 5 and then a group of 8. Morgan took GREAT care of us. Both nights it was very busy since there was live music. She was right on top of everything - filling our water glasses and getting us additional drinks. All of us enjoyed our meals. Last month I was there with a group of 15 people and we had Crystal for our server. She took GREAT care of us as well. It was a busy night since there was live music and like Morgan she kept our water glasses and adult beverage glasses filled. read more

We were seated around 6:15, but didn't receive our entrees until 7:40. The staff was nice, but very slow...and the kitchen was even slower. The table next to us sent their food back because it was cold. They had arrived shortly after us and waited about the same amount of time for food. We ate quickly and had to flag down the server for our check. The food was good, but not worth the wait. I had the spicy tuna roll as an appetizer, and had to ask for chop sticks and soy sauce, and even then, the server hurried away before I could ask for a cup to put the soy sauce in. I also tried the shrimp Rangoon and it was not at all what I was expecting, but it was really good. I ordered the meatloaf as the entree and while it tasted amazing, the portion size was small given the price ($24). Perhaps it was just an off night...we'd probably give them another try. read more

We took some friends to this place on a cold and rainy Saturday night. The service was very slow even though we liked the waitress. I wasn't impressed with my food which was not warm enough. We were cold because it was an outside seating place. So we asked for a heater that we are sure they had a few. Even though we asked for one three itimes we never had it. And we ended up with a bad service on a cold night. Aweful place! read more

The Sunday blues brunch is a lot of fun...great music. Food not so great but music makes up for it.

We love going here! Fresh ambiance, open outdoor seating. Small bar. Food is always good. Great chef! Right near Riverwalk, walking distance. Service is sometimes questionable, but getting better last couple of times there. Prices are a tad up there, but good for us once in a while. Definitely worth your try! read more

Brandie was such an attentive server and the food was amazing! The music, The Tropicats, was so good! Nice variety of 50's, 60's, 70's artists and more! Wonderful time! read more

This was a very up and down experience. They had a special menu and a drink menu that were not provided to us when we were seated. Service was also on the slow side but everyone was polite and responsive when they did come by. The food is just average and not for an average price. They bill themselves as water front dining which is closer to parking lot with water well beyond viewing. I had an excellent peanut butter dessert. Probably best for happy hour drinks and apps in the future. read more

We've eaten at this place a couple of times and it doesn't disappoint. Super convenient to the Marriott Courtyard we are staying at while our condo renovation is underway. I've had sushi, pizza, steak and chicken dishes at this place. All were 4 star. The service is great, it has a full bar and a couple of TVs around the bar. It is ONLY outdoor seating but it's covered, they have fans or heaters depending on the season. They have music entertainment most weekends and the bands are good. Did the Sunday brunch with a bottomless mimosa New Years Day ( a little hair of the dog lol) read more

Went here for the first time last Friday for happy hour, there was a great Duo singing and playing the keyboard, we had a fun time! Great vibes, and great food. I had the spicy croquettes! Bartenders were great too~ read more

Alaina made the best light espresso martinis and gave the best service! 5 stars. Very nice!

Really enjoyed the brunch menu last weekend. The daily drink specials seem like great deals, too bad I wasn't getting after it this Sunday morning. The grilled ham and cheese was just like Mom use to make them with an added twist of sweet pickles. The regular fries were awesome while my wife's sweat potato fries were just okay. Service was fast and very friendly. Looking forward to coming back read more

Great place for New Years dinner here in Bradenton with old and "new" friends...solid menu with lots of diversity, ordeted the dragon roll and fresh shrimp cocktail...it was fresh and awesome. Okay wine list, I ordered a cab and was served a chardonnay...but it was NYE and it was busy...wine was middle of the road...and by the glass ( they did have reasonable prices on the wine)... you can also bring your own for a corking fee...call ahead though for prices...etc...There was entertainment and dancing...the waitstaff was polite, executed well, food was delivered to your table quickly...and seemed fresh and was tasty. read more
