    Margherita Flatbread
    Diane W.

    Long lapse since our last time. First time outside- beautiful setting on the Manatee River. Had the very attentive and professional Kennell serve us. Went during happy hour ( daily 3-6). My mojito was good, and ordered two appetizers: ahi tuna nachos and balsamic chips--both yummy. Shared some of hubby's margherita flatbread ( not pictured). Will return a lot sooner next time! Will return

    As a family, we recently had dinner up Pier 22 to celebrate my dad's birthday and everything from the service to the ambience to the food was 10 out of 10! I wish I could remember our server's name, but his honesty was appreciated and his energy was exuberant. We ended up sitting outside on the patio and it was such a treat to not only watch the sunset, but all the fun and beautiful boats that passed by the Rockefeller oysters and the lobster cargot are must orders! My husband ordered the stuffed salmon and cleaned his plate while I opted for the grouper piccata. It was my first time trying grouper, and I'm definitely a fan.

    Went alone one Sunday afternoon and was sat by the water with a great view. It took a long time to be waited on and unfortunately the waitress was not friendly or as warm as I expected or have experienced in the area. I ordered off the happy hour menu, had a Paloma and some kind of crab appetizer that had some bits of shell in the middle, nothing was done to rectify this or even an apology given but I didn't make a big deal about it either. I had a cup of clam chowder and it was incredible. Nothing needed to be changed there, the fresh bread that was brought was also a nice touch. Probably wouldn't return just due to the high price and unfriendly/ lack service but everyone may have a different experience.

    I'm a regular at this place and last night we tried a few different things. We sat outside on a Saturday night by the water and it was nice. The only thing that was not enjoyable was the choice of music. The music didn't match the ambiance. Service depends on your waitress or waiter- last night the lady didn't fill up our waters enough but she was still nice. French onion soup- no one cared for it because it had scallions in it Chicken wings- were ok, nothing stood out to us French dip- didn't care for Grouper Picatta was delicious!!! Fried calamari - always good (but sometimes it doesn't come out hot)

    Food was great and the service was exceptional. Alycia, our server, took the time to explain everything and made wonderful suggestions. It was a great experience.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the food and especially the view on the patio! It was breezy and very relaxing. The food was very tasty and good prices on the happy hour menu. Never had street corn flatbread but it was very good and will def have again. Had wings and deviled eggs with bacon and stuffed jalapeños which were too spicy hot for me but others enjoyed them. Also the grouper bites! All cooked perfectly and tasty! Our waitress was very attentive and personable! We are already planning our next visit!

    The food is delicious. Tables are spaced out nicely. Reservation recommended. The service is slow. But if you are going to spend this much, slow down and enjoy the experience.

    Spanish creamed of course. Fully loaded twice baked potatoes. 1/2 of lobster left. Ate that first so good. 8oz good portion size.

    Service was awesome! Kelly did a great job. We had not been since a funeral reception for a friend 15 years ago. Looks like newly remodeled outside. We ate inside with a view of the Manatee river. I got one of the specials 8oz lobster with hollandaise sauce and Parmesan cheese. I got cream spinach and a half a twice baked potato for my two sides after eating half the lobster I was very full. We did have a bowl of clam chowder with a clam in every bite, it really was one of the best clam chowder around my other half got the other special which was red fish with a lemon butter sauce, which was so good got extra sauce. The views both outside and inside are wonderful and the prices were very reasonable especially for a beautiful location getting there a little early before six. It's happy hour so saved money on cocktails so very affordable will definitely be back for date night. We do date night once a month and pier 22 will definitely be in the rotation.

    The food was very good and there are a lot of options. They have gluten free rolls also. Service was okay our waiter seemed very stressed and a little grumpy. The vibe was good and it was quiet with not too many people.

    We recently dined here and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere is definitely a highlight--beautiful outdoor setting with soft lighting and a relaxing vibe that makes for a lovely evening. The food, however, was hit or miss. The presentation looked promising, but some dishes fell short in execution. The steak was a bit overcooked and lacked flavor, and while the seafood and asparagus had potential, they didn't quite come together as expected. The dish with the sauce was especially disappointing--heavy and overpowering, taking away from the rest of the flavors. Overall, it's a place with great ambiance, but the food quality didn't quite match the setting.

    Ordered Tonkotsu Ramen for delivery & I was amazed at how delicious the broth & noodles were. Only…read morereason I rated 4 stars instead of 5, was the ajitama didn't live up to my experience of what ajitama should be.

    This was my first time eating at Mitaka at the recommendation of my friend who I was with, and who…read moreoften says it's the best place for ramen in the area. I was not disappointed. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere to it, spacious and decorated with kitschy Japanese posters and figurines. We were told that we could sit anywhere we liked. We started out with an order of dumplings and an order of crispy squid - both tasty and very generous portions. Now for the ramen. I ordered the spicy seafood ramen and asked for the udon noodles as a sub. I was impressed with the depth of the flavor profile of the broth and is one of the best I have ever had. It was also spiced at the perfect level for me. The udon noodles were delicious and perfectly cooked. In order to score full points, I would want to see the following addressed: for a seafood ramen it was a disappointing portion of seafood (basically 2 muscles, 2 shrimp and 2 squid rings); I would prefer it if the egg was more soft than hard boiled; and I was not expecting a $2 surcharge for the udon noodles (when I asked to sub the waitress said ok and did not mention the price increase). Overall was very impressed and will definitely be back, though will also try one of the other ramen options for comparison.
