Do not miss out on eating here! I ordered the wasabi tuna, and every last bite was mouth watering. The sticky rice and side vegetables also had to be gobbled up. I had a wonderful glass of Malbec as well. read more

Had a delicious dinner with friends. Our waitress, Dallas from Denver, was absolutely wonderful. Right on the water, delicious food and Great service! read more

I spontaneously stopped in for breakfast today and asked to be seated on the patio. The view and ambiance were perfect for dining alone as I was today. I sat for over 20 minutes before I went back inside and asked for the bartender to find out who my server was. She immediately got me water and rather than find my server, who she referred to as Chris, she took my order and got my meal started. I am disappointed that I did not receive an apology or offer to compensate for my meal. It was a beautiful place and I felt invisible and most likely will not return or recommend. I give this a 1 star due to poor service. read more

The food was amazing! Everything we tried including appetizers was delicious! We had one of the best servers I've ever had at a restaurant! I gave him a 35% cash tip! My date lived the ambiance of the place! 5 Stars from us! read more

We sat outside and the sunset was stunning. Our drinks (delicious) and bread basket arrived promptly. Our group of 3 ordered: - Southern California Roll - Pineapple Express Roll - 1976 salad (small) with shrimp Our 16 year old enjoyed the Southern California roll. However, the Pineapple Express Roll was not as described. There was no spicy tuna but instead was a very small piece of tuna that appeared that it may have been seared. The pineapple was the smallest sliver one could imagine. The shrimp seemed to be a bit undercooked. The seaweed wrap was incredibly chewy. This roll was so unappetizing that it wasn't eaten. Our server recognized this and had it removed from our bill. The 1976 salad (small) was tasty. However, I felt the shrimp add-on was overpriced. ($14 for 4 average size shrimp) The crème brûlée was creamy. Overall we were unimpressed. read more

Sent undercooked steak back twice. Management did nothing to compensate for my unsatisfactory lunch and offered a take home option after bill was paid. Melissa, our waitress was pleasant and professional. read more

I had been here years ago. It has a great view. We went with another couple this time and like the first time, I wasn't very impressed. We were seated inside near the window and I'm not sure if there was rotting wood around the windows or if it was the carpet. I smelled it through dinner which was a turnoff. The food was at best just ok. Won't be back. read more

Wife and I came here for brunch and had a fantastic experience...again. Location is on the water with great views. Upscale but not stuffy is how I describe the vibe , linen table clothes and real silverware .. great place for a special meal or weekly if you have the money. The brunch offers both breakfast and lunch entrees and has a great selection of options . Wife ordered the croissant egg sandwich which she said was the "Best" she has ever had .. croissants and desserts are made on premises and it shows , I had the smoked salmon omlette with home fries .. omelette was excellent . Cynthia our server did an excellent job ! was knowledgeable, personable ...I had told them when I made the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary and when we were done and asking for the check they brought us an ice cream a cake with a lighted candle on top with two forks .. no charge. Nice touch and won't be forgotten . Highly recommend read more

I wasn't expecting all that great of food honestly but the sushi, unexpectedly, surprised me. It doesn't come with superior presentation. In fact, when our plate was placed on the table we raised an eyebrow and wondered if we had made a mistake. But the taste won us over. The soup of the day, broccoli cheddar was also very good. Entree wise, all three dishes were decent. The seafood jambalaya had a large amount of protein and seafood. The chicken cordon blue was probably our favorite of the entrees. And the chicken pasta was alright, not anything too special. The bread and butter was surprisingly great too! Drinks were poured heavy. Can't complain! Just wish that they did something for my moms birthday. We mentioned it, but usually restaurants do a little something. Whether a small piece of cake or even just a scoop of ice cream. read more

Excellent service, excellent food! Little pricey but it's worth it and my girlfriend and I usually do our little tapas thing where we just order different apps. The sushi is awesome and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend plus you get to be on the water. read more

This was our first visit at Pier 22. We were able to get reservations the afternoon and get in later that evening, which was great. The view as mentioned by others is good. Upon being sat and ordering we waited roughly an hour before getting even our appetizers. The service continued that way throughout the evening with everything. We got a desert to go after our meal and that took an additional 15 minutes. The service was very disappointing. The food is the reason I did not just give the restaurant one star. I had the shrimp "catch of the day" which as outstanding. My son had the black and cod Alfredo which was also excellent. Recommend the food and view but hopefully the service is not always below substandard. read more

Popped into Pier 22 for a bite and a drink. Besides the lovely waterfront views, the food was very good. I had a mediterranean salad and a sushi roll that hit the spot. Best of all, our server/bartender Aaron made the best drinks, was knowledgeable about the food and paced it all perfectly. Happy to have a new go-to place in the Bradenton area. read more

PIER 22 - New American Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Wonderful view on the patio overlooking the river. Service was very good as was the food. We had seafood cob salads...very fresh and tasty! read more

Nice location on the river with great views. Food was good. Restaurant was packed which kept the lone bartender busy.

Total let down. Location, location, location is nice. The only bright spots were our server Lindsay, the bread and butter and Ahi nachos. Everything else has that old out dated restaurant smell, taste and feel. I bet this place was the bomb in 1997. We won't be back. The broccolini was cooked to just before goop stage. Risotto clumpy and tasteless and beurre blanc sauce too creamy heavy. Not much taste. We also had the Monte Cristo appetizer roll. So much breading, the most I've ever seen. It's unfortunate because I really had high expectations for this place and I knew I should've trusted Yelp and steered away from a place with only three and a half stars. Save your money and seek food and location elsewhere. read more

A slow evening We had gone to Pier 22 some years ago and didn't have the best experience, but memories fade and second chances given, and we returned last night. This visit didn't go particularly great either. Liked the place, the food was ok, the service much too slow. Self parking is still not good, but that may just be an inevitable problem based on the location. It is a popular restaurant, quite busy, with a wonderful view of the Manatee River. As for the food, I started with their Baked Onion Soup. Looked great, tasted wrong. I'm all for salty French Onion Soup, even though my wife tells me it isn't supposed to be too salty. This was not salty. I've also had sweet onion soup, not as good as salty to me but still fine. This was not sweet. What I had last night was sour tasting. I learned another style is made with vinegar, which is apparently what I had. And it looked so good, too. I moved from that disappointment to one of their specials, Prime Rib. Now, this was good, except I thought the meat was a little tough. In comparing thoughts with another diner who ordered the same thing, we concluded it just wasn't a great cut of meat. This was not an inexpensive dinner. My wife was not pleased with her Steak Salad, and another person dining with us did not speak well of his Chicken Chevre. Dinner took a couple of hours. It took too long for our server to come and take our order. The soup was not quick, but at this point I was still ok, you don't just ladle out Baked Onion Soup and bring it to the table. It was the 30 minute wait from the time we finished our soups until our entrees arrived that killed it for me. Baked Onion Soup is also a soup you just don't slurp down, so think of all the time they had to prepare the entrees. Time the food so when the soup is done the entrees are ready. You missed it by 30 minutes. I even started timing how long it took to drop off the bill (too long), how long to pick up the bill (much too long), how long to bring back the bill (not bad), when these activities started to drag on. By the time we left we were more than ready to get out of that place. read more

PIER 22 - Prime Rib Special - New American Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Overview: 5/5 A new find in Bradenton and it's worth the drive on or off island to boat this restaurant. I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation as this place is very popular. Ambiance : 5/5 It's located right on the riverfront by the marina. A great spot for watching the sunset over Anna Maria Island. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with a covered area. Food/Drink 5/5 We went here twice for dinner. They did not disappoint. The first night we started with a happy hour cocktail and spicy tuna roll that was delicious. I had the grouper piccata, corn risotto and spinach. My wife had the diver scallops, sticky rice and Chinese vegetables. We wanted to lick the plate it was that good. The second night we started with the grouper /artichoke gratin appetizer that was so good we got one to go!! We both had the tenderloin filet (10oz) cooked to perfection and seasoned well. It came with mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. They had an extensive wine list with good selections. For dessert both nights we shared a triple chocolate mousse cake. Service : 5/5 Both nights the service was great. Waitresses were on top of the orders and pleasant. Conclusion : We will definitely be back when we are back in town. read more

Balsamic Chips are top tier I also had salad, I sat at the bar service was fast and friendly. I definitely will be going back a sunset dinner read more

We had an okay experience. We sat outside for the evening on the patio by the water, not a great view compared to Riverhouse. We ordered a few small plates off the happy hour menu to share & had two drinks each. We had the pier 22 sangria, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, California Roll, Poutine, Margherita Flatbread & Mediterranean Chopped. Everything was below average besides the Margherita flatbread and pier 22 sangria. We sat under the white tents on the patio & it rained earlier in the day. We were sat right by the edge of the tent & the wind blow all the water from on top of the tent onto our food, drinks & all over me. I was left extremely wet & my salad & drink were ruined. I was left with only an apology and had to wipe down the table myself with my napkin & wasn't offered a new drink or salad. Definitely wasn't the restaurants fault with the water accident but would have been nice to get a new drink & salad since I just spent over $60 on this meal. Was pretty disappointed, especially since I was so excited to try Pier 22 since I've moved here two months ago. read more

Not bad. But not mind blowing by any means. Got the job done in terms of curbing hunger but when asked if we wanted to hit up Pier 22 the following day (the people offering didn't know we had been there the day before)-- we weren't kicking and screaming with excitement about that prospect. So yeah. If I lived here, I might venture into Pier 22 here and there, but it wouldn't be a staple. read more

Perhaps there were too many venues in facility that drew real cook & waitstaff away from restaurant. Restaurant itself not busy. Service slow. When apps arrived half hr after ordering Thai chicken was fried chicken pieces thrown over chopped salad mix, like bagged type in store. Monte Cristo app was a ball of fried dough. Neither matched menu descrip. An hr later staff came to take dinner order which was not on menus we had. "Dinner" menu not presented (?). My choice, bean burger sandwich, was still a dinner item. It came raw with edges only cooked. So a pile of uncooked beans. I had to send back & didn't reorder. Waters were warm, rarely refreshed. Wine measured pour..my 2nd glass brought to table in pour bottle - my glass had been removed by busboy. Awful experience. read more

The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and it's a nice room. Ordered the crab cake dinner. The crab cakes were OK, but just OK. I've had better for a third of the price. Plus, the vegetable side was cold, and the rice side was forgettable. read more

Wow to all the 4 & 5 stars! water tasted like mold was in the pipes. Happy hour menu is exactly half the amount of food for half the price. Happy hour wine tasted like water. Seeing all the other people's food lookEd like they were eating at Denny's for a five star restaurant price. Good service from Chelsea. read more

This is the first time at Pier 22. The food is ok. What's more surprising is that the freshly made Beignets and their freshly brewed coffee is really a wonderful combination! The service is and the environment were very good, looking at the water view and the passing boats,romantic, a bit like a vacation in a small European town ! Although the meal was ok, we were all happy to have found this restaurant that will go back！ read more

Dinner a few nights ago Service okay some food very good some not so much We live in Florida right??? someone pls tell me how you can serve a shrimp cocktail that tastes & looks like it was dried out & been sitting somewhere for hours small shrimp the size of my baby finger Cocktail sauce with no flavor blaaaah ????this is Florida .. we have shrimp in the gulf There are many restaurants in the Bradenton / Sarasota area that have shrimp cocktails on the menu again ...we are thankful however this restaurant had the poorest quality I have had since I lived in Minnesota miles from the source for shrimp Now let's talk about the waitress & her 2" long fingernails ... this can't be sanitary who is the manager ??this should not be allowed it was hard for us to eat our dinner thinking about where those nails have been .. I don't think I have to say anymore disgusting... We will not return anytime soon .. read more

Great food, good service, recently renovated patio bar area, the guy who owns The Grove owns Pier 22 & also restaurant in Clearwater

Really beautiful location right on the water, perfect for group outings, brunch, events, etc. we came for brunch on Saturday and we're seated immediately inside. Outdoor dining did have quite a wait and I am sure it is worth it but we were starving so we opted for first available. The brunch menu is perfectly sized, not too large but definitely not small. I got the shrimp and grits which was absolutely delightful. I would have loved a bit more shrimp but I was perfectly content and full afterwards. We also had the beignets to start which were extremely moist and delectable. The food came out extremely quick, we actually waited longer for the server to come to our table to take our order. Waters were refilled quickly and efficiently and the price point was not bad at all. Will definitely be back to try some more menu items out! read more

Awesome place. Food is great and staff is very friendly. Great environment to eat for any occasion.

I liked the restaurant overall, very kind hostesses and our waitress was very good, too. The interior and exterior was very pretty, especially being right on the water. The inside was more fancy than the outside. There's a lot of seating. My sushi wasn't great, unfortunately. Definitely not bad, but it just didn't meet my expectations. The dessert was good, though. read more

It's such a pretty setting here. We came for happy hour and sat outside. The food and drinks were just average. Our service was below average. read more

First, let me say the food is amazing. There are great views of the river and if you are there in the evening, what a perfect spot for the sunset. The service we had was good, but a little underwhelming for the price, high expectations I guess. Reservations are recommended, it was really slow the night we were there, still had trouble getting the wait staff to keep up with our needs. It is casual dining, people seem to wear boat clothing and fine dresses. Keep this in mind if you are in town or don't have far to drive. read more

We've been to Pier 22 a few times now and have enjoyed it each time. You absolutely can't beat the view. I also love that so much of their food is actually prepared right there at the restaurant. I have been told that they make their own salad dressings, desserts, etc. We went last week and had Kelly again for our server. She is the most darling and vivacious blonde- who really seems to care about the customers. She did a great job making sure we constantly had everything we needed. I love it when I don't have to ask the server 29 times to refill my water glass! I never had to ask once. We usually go for dinner, but last time just went during happy hour and I had the home made blue cheese potato chips. YUMMMM! They were enough for me, and I didn't need anything else. The martini was pretty darned delightful too! When you go, ask if Kelly is working- you'll get great service.The one unfortunate thing was that we had asked for Kelly, her station was inside the porch area. We would have much preferred the outside area on the water, but they always seem to give this server the crappiest area to work. We felt like it was worth it to get her, so we gave up a bit of the view. read more

Our server was wonderful and never hard to get the attention of. We all loved our meals. We had been dining on Anna Maria Island all week so I can't compare pricing and quality to other Bradenton restaurants, but Pier 22 was significantly higher-quality and lower-priced than anywhere we went out on AMI. A real treat for the end of the week. But the real star at Pier 22 is the atmosphere. Customers can choose from an upscale dining room indoors, a classy, roofed but open air...I guess they call it patio? Or get right next to the water under a pleasant tent. If we return to the area we'll be back to Pier 22. read more

From what I've heard it's nice, but I'm not really a yacht club kinda guy. Although if you are in sure it's wonderful or I would've heard bad things about it by now. Here are some pix I took recently showing how nice it is. Looks like that's all I have to say but after I posted a few pix it looks as though I can't post so I give up. Sorry no pix, maybe next time. read more
