Hubby's lobster bisque was very good, and we shared the coconut rum scallops--sooooo good. He was happy with his lobster pot pie, and the crust was amazing!!! I had the seared ahi bowl, excellent and fresh, but quickly got full. Our friend really liked her salmon bowl too. Always a good place to eat at, but it can get pretty busy when the snow birds are around.

The Dunes is one of our secret gems, especially during snow bird season Keep up the great food and service, just a side note, the Draft Beer is always perfect.

My 2nd time at Rivera Dunes Dockside. I swore I'd never come back after my experience last year,…read morebut had a lunch seminar here. I was not expecting much. I came with a friend who ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with a side of Coleslaw. She said the flavor of the tacos was good and the spice was mild. The coleslaw was okay. I had the Seafood Chowder and house salad. The chowder appeared to be, and tasted like, a creamy potato and vegetable soup. It had a nice flavor to it, but no discernible seafood. The salad was fresh and the greens crispy. Just a typical salad. I was hoping for the best but left disappointed. Will I come back? Probably not.

Great food! We stumbled on a music trivia night and that was fun too! Excellent vibes.read more

3 Keys Brewing is conveniently located on Manatee Ave close to 41. The building has an old time…read moreFlorida feel with porch seating. Upon entering the restaurant, you will see a bar directly in front of you, and plenty of table seating off to the right in the main dining area. When 3 Keys first opened, they did not have the best food. Now, their food is high quality. I ordered the "we be jammin" burger and it was excellent. The beer did not impress me on my most recent visit. I tried two IPAs and found them to be below average. I would return, but I would hope to try better beers. They certainly have a local following as the brewery has plenty of customers on a Sunday night.

I have given this place so many chances but this past Sunday was the absolute last visit. It's…read morealways the same thing...incredibly slow service, music way too loud for brunch and subpar food. It took over 30 minutes to get drinks brought to our table. At brunch time!! I intentionally asked for a table furthest away from the band. We were on the other side of the restaurant and could not carry on a conversation. Again..at brunch time!! We could not speak to each other until the band went on break. The Eggs Benedict was watery and bland. I didn't even ask everyone else about theirs. Just wanted out of there.

We were overcharged when splitting the bill, which is basic restaurant math and shouldn't happen at…read morethis price point. Then came the food $47 for a cheeseburger and fries, which is beyond outrageous for what was served. This wasn't "upscale," it was highway robbery. The calamari was completely inedible hard as a rock, overcooked to the point of being dry and tough. No one at the table could eat it. When you charge premium prices, the food and service better match. Here, neither did. Overpriced, poorly executed, and careless billing. Won't be back, and definitely wouldn't recommend.

I was looking forward to my visit here but I was disappointed. My friend ordered a hamburger topped…read morewith a fried egg over medium. The waitress had a hard time understanding what over medium means, so we explained.... I ordered two pancakes, with two eggs over medium. Once again I had to eggsplain what over medium meant . The pancakes were huge! Bigger is not necessarily better because these things were rubbery and tasteless. They charged me $19 for the burger and another $4 for the egg ! Our waitress seemed out of it. Don't know if she was medicated but something wasn't right.

We were never asked if our order was ok , if we needed anything. We were never asked if we wanted another drink. Nothing. We sat in the middle of the bar with a couple to our left and to our right at the end of the bar. The food was good but could have been better if we had not had to run the bartender down. The setting was fine the dinning room was not busy but there were folks. It's too bad that we are still sitting here and yet nothing! Probably not a got to for us
