Our next family food adventure take us to The patio pier 22 located in Bradenton FL with a category of 4.4 and more than 5,471 reviews, this place is perfect for turning a family gathering or a get-together with friends into something special, with a unique view of the sunset and the bay, accompanied by the sound of the sea. Our visit was on November 1st with perfect, cool weather. Our waitress was very attentive and professional. The entire menu and the options she recommended were all delicious, but you had to eat quickly because of the weather. Was a great time high recommended place to share unforgettable experiences. read more

Food was mediocre. I had the California roll, very dried out. I've had much better from Publix. My son had a child's size pizza...it was burned on one side and the crust was hard on the other. Not at all appetizing. I would recommend eating elsewhere in the Bradenton area. read more

Excellent dinner! Ate outside on patio . Gorgeous view of the water!! Hubby has tuna steak and cheesecake. I went outside of the box. Lol! Splurged on their Monte Cristo appetizer as my main entree with side of hot veggies. Delish!! Washed it down with a cold mocktail Dockside! Sooooo yummy!! Aurora was such a sweetie!! We'll ask for her going forward!! Thanks, girl!! read more

As always the service was the best in the area from Lynn! I had the trout special and it was delicious!! The view and breeze on the patio is spectacular ! I will be back soon read more

I rarely leave reviews, but after the experience my family and I had during my cousin's bridal shower at Pier 22, I feel compelled to share this. We traveled from Fort Lauderdale to celebrate what was supposed to be a joyful and memorable occasion. Unfortunately, the service we received significantly impacted the event. Our server, Alicia, was rude, dismissive, inattentive, and had a noticeably different tone with certain guests in our party. While she was attentive and pleasant toward other tables and even specific individuals within our group, several members of our party experienced curt responses, poor communication, and an overall lack of professionalism. At one point, appetizers ordered by some guests came out properly while others experienced delays and confusion with little effort made to correct it professionally. To be clear, Matthew was excellent and extremely helpful. Taylor also attempted to assist when concerns were brought forward during the event, and I appreciate his professionalism. However, the handling of the situation afterward by management was disappointing. GM Nicole Johnson and event manager Hannah ultimately dismissed our concerns and attempted to place blame on our party by stating that management was "not made aware" during the event, despite the fact that Taylor was spoken to directly. They also referenced our party not meeting the food and beverage minimum and guests arriving at different times as justification for why compensation would not be provided. Their exact response included statements that: * the group did not meet the required food and beverage minimum, * guest arrival times created "challenges in pacing and service flow," * and because all food and beverages were consumed, they did not feel compensation was appropriate. None of those things excuse poor customer service or disrespectful treatment during a bridal shower. What was most disappointing was the lack of accountability from upper management after acknowledging that Alicia's behavior was unacceptable enough to warrant a formal write-up and disciplinary action. As a Black family celebrating a special occasion, some members of our party left feeling uncomfortable and treated differently, and that is not something that should ever happen during an event meant to celebrate love and family. I would strongly encourage anyone planning an important event here to carefully consider whether this establishment aligns with the level of hospitality, professionalism, and respect they expect for their guests. read more

Will return. On the Manatee River, west of Green Bridge. Huge. Indoor and out sections. Busy. Fish tanks. Red sauce. Warm bread - 70 degree is cool by the water. Good service and very good food. We've Escargo Calamari w/ white sauce Grouper cake w/ white sauce Chowder Mushroom Arancini w/ red sauce All are delicious, except the two white sauces - just too sweet. I asked for their red instead, which is so much better. I also don't care for their butter which is house made with butter, cream cheese, Boursin - tastes good but I prefer the simple butter. The chowder is good but Smith & Wollensky's having had it just couple of weeks ago, is better, not as thick. If I've to pick one in this area, I prefer this one over Oak n Stone. Parking is relatively easy on this Monday night. A great stop before the ballet in Sarasota. read more

I love this place! The food was decadent. We had the starter of balsamic chips (sorry, no pick) and they were fantastic. Our server was on top of it (bringing me another drink without even asking and before I was even out ). She was a gem! The restaurant location is perfect, right along the Manatee River (which goes out to the gulf), and our table view was lovely! They also have a side room for events. My sister and I both had our bridal showers here in the past and it's perfect for those sorts of events. read more

Enjoyed another great experience at this unique waterfront restaurant. This is an upscale dining experience that incudes fine dining with hard to beat views on the Manatee River. Food and service is always excellent and happy hour specials are worth the trip. read more

If this restaurant was an emoji it would be a whole lot of meh. Extensive menu which the server told us is prepared in advanced and the heated for a number of dishes. Here's an idea maybe less dishes and fresh. If you are into an 80's vibe and ambience this is the place for you. Parsley sprinkles, wedding singer level music and plates looking like they are directly out a Julia Childs cookbook, tick tick and tick. Food ordered. - Escargot - good - burrata salad nice burrata but loads of sickly balsamic "glaze" - shrimp scampi pasta, bitter sauce which the pasta was swimming in - pork ossi buco. Pork was tender. Sauce revolting, potato grim, asparagus sad Service. Took 30 mins to get a drink. So bad we ended up asking for another server who did a good job. They need to teach their hostesses to not sit 6 tables at the same time on one server. Bottom line, many better places in walking distances. read more

Pierre 22 is a beautiful place. I love to go there with friends I love or for a special occasion. Their menu is interesting with a few unusual delicious things and it goes without saying the view is great. You could sit on the water or you can come at night and catch a beautiful sunset. You have to check it out. read more

Amazing! I had the salmon with a sweet pea risotto was out of this world! Our server, Lynn, was fantastic as well!

For our second annual reunion, a restaurant called Pier22, located in Bremerton, was selected as it was the mid-point for all attendees. Situated in a harbor, there were views of the yachts and water at just about any place you sat in the restaurant. We were looking forward to the camaraderie that comes with long-time friendships. We were escorted to our table by hostess Kassi who seemed determined to provide a memorable dining experience for us. A glance at the menu provided us with many culinary delights to choose from. Kassi explained menu selections and specialties in a way that enhanced our choices. Her customer service throughout our meal made us all feel special. From the clam chowder soup that was excellent to the flatbread and other menu selections we knew we were in for a treat. What a great way to start our meal. There were rave reviews from all of us as we feasted on each choice selected. I ordered the grouper sandwich, which was cooked to perfection. Kassi's customer service was a real credit to Pier22. They say great customer service starts at the top and Manager Jennifer's has insured her staff was ready to make a visit to Pier22 a memorable experience This up scale restaurant is sure to have you returning on many occasions. read more

Had a great dining experience here on Christmas Eve. Made reservations a few days before and was pleased to get in. Beautiful views of the harbor from our porch side seating. Finer dining prices in a finer dining restaurant. Lobster bisque was great as was the filet. Prime rib special for holiday menu was also great according to my wife. Kids had children menu pizzas which they also enjoyed. Wait staff was also on point. read more

Carson provided us with excellent service! Very attentive and professional. Make sure he gets a great free meal today to celebrate!!

We came here on NYE, so the menu was limited for the night but the seafood came out perfectly. Twin lobster tails and a side of grilled shrimp. Creamed spinach was good, but not very creamy if that's what you're looking for. The back covered deck had beautiful water views and the service was great! read more

I had a really disappointing experience with our server, Kerry M. She somehow had time to check on every table around us but treated our table like we were invisible. When we did get service, it wasn't great, and she brought me the wrong food twice and mixed things up multiple times. Any time we asked for something simple like drink refills or more bread, we were met with attitude like we were asking for a personal favor instead of basic service. Our sides were also never rang in, which honestly felt on brand at that point. Drinks were barely refilled (maybe twice total), and we were even given the wrong check. The only time she seemed friendly was when it was time to tip, which felt a little too convenient. Overall, it felt disorganized, inattentive, and weirdly passive-aggressive. I get that mistakes happen, but this felt like a full experience in what not to do as a server. read more

So I ordered wings and just wanted flats which they said they "could not do." So I ordered the wings and I got eight wings... Three flats and five drumsticks. And they were mediocre best anyway won't be back. read more

Where do I start?? Ordered a basic hamburger and fries. Asked for mayo on bun. Nope tomato so soggy and thin you could read a news paper through it. Fries tasted like they were 2 days old. Waiter was pleasant, but never refilled our drinks. My wife ordered chicken croissant. Should has been called and onion sandwich. Her tomato was soggy and paper thin. She left most of it. Way to expensive for such meadocre food. Burger King is far better and 1/3 the cost. 2 stars for atmosphere. My friends left most of their food on the plate. Enough said. read more

The best and only Mother's Day brunch in the entire Manatee County and Sarasota I highly recommend the service was accommodating even though we run a waitlist. They called us the minute there was availability., We are long time devoted to the Ritz Carlton for the buffet for those special Mother's Day and Father's Day and they abruptly stopped it this year so thank you for pier 22 staying consistent, and going above and beyond sitting on the water it was beautiful as always even though it's getting hotter in the summer. There should be more AC devices for the elderly people sitting outside as indoors are limited. Other than that it's beautiful scenery and the simple fact that the brunch buffet is worth every single dollar. You will not be disappointed As long as they don't discontinue it abruptly like other establishments have done in this area, 2026 is proving to be a huge disappointment in our overcrowded and now very limited dining availability options, occurring in our Bradenton Sarasota area, Keep up the good work during the special holiday holidays buffets, pier 22 Thank you read more

Nancy is an awesome! We come here every month and always sit in Nancy's area. She remembers our drinks and menu choices.

Delicious food & fantastic serviceLynn is a fabulous waitress. We will be back for lunch to see Lynn again

Came here while visiting family. It's down on the pier and has plenty of parking and free valet. It's a good size with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and attentive. We were seated and our waiter was very good. The menu is different from lunch and dinner so not all items in the reviews are always available. Me and the wife shared the chicken penne pasta and the chicken bruschetta. Both were good but forgot pics. My nephew did try the alligator sandwich and said it was very good. The food is solid I wouldn't say great but solid along with location being on water and ambiance it's a solid 4 stars. read more

Food was average at best. Margaritas were bland and hardly any salt on the glass rim! Asked for a water side table when I made the reservation. Ended up a level up. Restaurant was packed so I didn't mention it... read more

Lana was an excellent server. the food was great and so was the service! definitely coming back

Beautiful waterside restaurant. They have a good happy hour and the menu has a variety of seafood, pasta, and meat options. I had the Fish & Chips which were that fully cod, tempura batter that is light and not greasy. The Shrimp and Fish Tacos were also good. Jerk wings were good, just not spicy enough for me. Not so fond of the bacon wrapped jalapeño's appetizer. Bacon wasn't crunchy, was cheesy by not a lot of flavor. Drinks were well poured and enjoyed the Martini! read more

A nice restaurant in a beautiful setting with a good menu however, our server Kirby really distracted from what could have otherwise been a great experience. Even though it was later in the night and she only had maybe one other table, she was completely absent seemingly more interested in cleaning the restaurant than attending to us. I had to get up several times for drinks, condiments, and other things we needed after our food was dropped off by someone from the kitchen and she never came over once to even ask how we were doing. The food was good although very salty- it's a lovely atmosphere. It would be nice if they would step up their service to match their prices. read more

Food quality was superb. We are visitors to the area. I had a Cuban which was excellent. My spouse had Grouper which she said was excellent. I Yelp all over the USA, and recently in UK. Venue is great. we sat outside and that was also excellent. Good wine selection. I am a craft beer lover. Mine was excellent. Service was excellent. If you are in the area I highly recommend you make a point of enjoying the venue read more

The food is wonderful at pier 22. Every time we go there we have never been disappointed and we have been going there for years

Trish is wonderful!! Best service and so personal! If you go to Pier 22, sit at the bar and ask for Trish!!

Liz was an excellent server. Very attentive and personable Excellent choices for happy hour.

Let me start with the fact we have dined at Pier 22 quite a few times and we're hoping this last visit was an anomaly. Several things were good, but several bad. We got seated right away for dinner with friends, waitress came and took our drink order right away. I asked about the sushi but waitress said she wouldn't get sushi there. And I was hoping for some good sushi. Drinks were okay. Appetizers arrived quickly and that was probably the bright spot of the evening. Raw oysters were large, meatballs tasty. Waitress never told us any specials so we had to ask if there were any. When our meals came it was a disappointment. Crab cakes were okay, risotto was barely warm. A friend got Scampi Florentine and said it was most definitely not Florentine. Pretty much every dish was plain, nothing special. I ordered a second drink early but for about 15-20 minutes, we never saw the waitress. Then when she passed by, I had to ask again. We were pretty much done before second drink came. We were quite ready to leave. We have had good experiences here and 5 stars every time. This was pushing it to get three. For the two of us, not the experience we expected, definitely not $175's worth. Not sure we'll be back anytime soon. read more
