    Margherita Flatbread

    Outstanding place to host a dinner buffet and fireworks viewing on the Manatee river for our nations 250th birthday!! on their mailing list so I received an email in May, invited my friend and her husband to join my husband and I for this fantastic event. Extremely well coordinated and executed, everything was polished down to free valet parking. Tables were beautifully decorated with flags, red, white and blue carnations, glow sticks, and a fan. Several buffet tables/stations were spread across the restaurant, and I did not get to try everything, but the food I had was. Fantastic. Lots of choices to satisfy everybody's desires. Great special cocktails too. Our server, Alycia, with excellent and as attentive as she could be, as a place was packed. It was also fun to see other enthusiastic patrons dressed up for the event. Seats were arranged on the patio for those who did not dine outside to watch the fireworks, and the city of Bradenton put on a fantastic 30 minute show. Not sure where we will be next fourth, but I will make it a point to stay home so we can attend this event next year

    This is my second time here. Last year we had a much better meal. This time lack of flavor was the issue. I had the grouper oscar special and it required a lot of salt and pepper. Otherwise both the fish and crab meat were bland. flavor. My partner had the blackened ribeye. The ribeye cap was too thin, perhaps because we were there late and the best steaks were gone, but it was tasty. He also was given a generous serving of broccoli, which was a little on the soggy side. The double-stuffed potatoe was good. My daughter had scampi florentine. The shrimp was also lacking flavor but the pasta and sauce were really good. I love the ambiance and would return, since our first meal was really good.

    We enjoyed a beautiful view with our dinner. Menu options are varied and we all enjoyed our meals. Crab cakes are made gluten free and was a large portion that also fed me lunch the next day. Service was friendly. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Indoors has a great marina view and was slightly cooler on a hot summer evening than the patio seating with the bay view we opted for.

    Prime Rib Dinner

    Okay the amount of times we've been here and I've never written a review.. I can't believe it lol! Better now than never! We are local to Bradenton and have eaten at many waterfront/waterview restaurants and Pier 22 is just by far my favorite. Not only for the incredible view (we've even seen dolphins while dining here! ) but also the food has never ever ever let me down. I am a celiac and I've always been treated with care here and have always had something beyond yummy to eat. The New Age flatbread is my all time favorite, it's an order I have on repeat. My fiance loves their Prime New York Strip and Stuffed Jail Island Salmon. We've also enjoyed wings together, so far we've tried Mirin Sake Glazed and Caribbean Jerk.. we're not quite sure which one is our favorite yet. The service has never ever disappointed here either! If you're debating lunch or dinner here, this is a MUST try!

    Chicken wings

    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)

    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.

    The food was delicious and Stacey was a great help. She knew the dishes and steered us in the right choices. When you have delicious food and great service that equals definitely a return visit to Pier 22. The crème brûlée was so smooth and just the right amount of sugar! See you next time!

    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.

    The delicious Keylime pie
    Annemarie H.

    Wonderfully delightful experience. Had a nice Sunday lunch out on the patio. The place is dog friendly. We brought our dog tango. They provided a bowl of ice water for him and he was very happy. Justin, our server, was excellent and what a trooper as he is from Missouri not quite used to the Florida heat, but he did great. We really loved the margarita pizza and and grouper sandwich. But our biggest delight was the Keylime pie. Wow what an impressive dessert just the right amount of tartness, and the crust was excellent. If we're ever in the Bradenton area, we would certainly come back. By the way, the views of the water are really spectacular worth sitting outside even if it's a little warm.

    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.

    I visited Pier22 while on a work trip and the food, service, and ambiance were amazing. The restaurant sits on the water so I was able to enjoy my dinner on the outside patio overlooking the water. It was very nice out and I enjoyed watching the boats come and go. I went for happy hour and tried two different items the soup and wings! I know it's hot out but I love a good minestrone soup and the buffalo wings were delicious. If I'm ever in the city visiting I'll definitely be coming back!

Same smell we know locally. My wife told me that she witnessed the manager spraying something near the other bar patrons behind me as he went toward the kitchen. She knew I would be so upset about it that she did not point it out at the time. I just curled my nose and thought about another seat or to vacate the premise. It dissipates quickly so we tried to be forgiving. The tab was inflated by a drink never ordered and they charge extra for Tajin on the rim of your margarita without notice or justification. So we needed the owner to approve the corrections of the bill. We were told that it became a "flavored" margarita when Tajin is added to the rim in place of salt or no salt. Then we got the "costs are up" story that we have not heard before while ordering my margaritas anywhere else. The waitress did manage to get in a few "I don't make the rules, I just work here" clip that we read here in other reviews. So my wife was pissed and our return visits are now very unlikely. I am not happy either but was looking forward to coming back for liver and onions with our stepfather very soon. Doubtful now. Poop stench in the face, spraying chemicals in the dining room during service and nickel and dime issues make it hard to justify taking our family back here. That is what disappointed me the most. I know this place had a real chance with us at first. Probably not now. ‍

I'm not sure what happened or if we were there on an off night the ambiance is nice/upscale so that was enjoyable. Firstly, we opted for the bread service and the whipped ricotta. The bread was a bit heavy and very oily, albeit was tasty. If that's not your preferred bread style please take note. The whipped ricotta was quite nice, and it was fun to try. I had the branzino fish entree which was okay. My partner's meal was a chicken parmigiana which, I hate to report, was largely unimpressive. We ate our entrees but agreed we weren't thrilled. My second visit was redemptive. On this visit I ate with a friend in the bar area. The bartender was awesome and was very attentive and personable. We enjoyed our drinks and I enjoyed the salad I added fish to. I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was fun to sit in the bar area. All in all, this isn't bad for a chain Italian restaurant.
