★★★★★ 5.0 Steve C. · Mar 2026

We had an excellent server, named Chanel. She was very attentive and friendly. She came to our table after being seated in about 2 minutes. Always checked back. Our out of town guess and we enjoyed our delicious entrees. The jambalaya, salmon, fish and chips, and the lobster macaroni we're fantastic. Leave room for dessert because the key lime pie was delicious. Highly recommend and will be back. The riverviews are fantastic, the sunsets are bonus. They too take reservations and highly recommend making them through their website. We actually got seated before our reservation time. Had a great evening!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Andrew Ribar · Feb 2026

Great setting on the Manatee River across from downtown Bradenton. Cloudy today but I would wager beautiful sunset views. We both had fish and chips. We received one fairly large cod filet. The breading was done very well, the fish was average. The thimble of coleslaw was unexciting and the fries were average, at best. Overall, not worth $22 each.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michelle S · Feb 2026

Sat at outdoor patio, beautiful sunset views. Got chilly with wind and our table top fire ring was not working, so that was disappointing. Food was excellent though. There were 6 of us, all got something different from fish sandwich, prime rib, lobster pot pie😍, shrimp skewers, buttered cod and chicken sandwich. All delicious and very filling. I got lobster pot pie which I would highly recommend...light, puffy pastry shell, stuffed with lots of lobster meat & veggies. 😋 A few of us got drinks, besides the spicy margarita, the drinks were pretty "light" and small for the price. I had a lemon drop, which seemed only 1/2 full and could not taste any vodka in it. 😏 Service was good with Ian, checked back with us often and was efficient with drink & food orders. 👌Overall I would recommend for t

★★★★★ 5.0 Larry Early · Feb 2026

Stopped by for dinner after a round of golf. No reservations and they were able to accommodate us outside on the deck. Great waterfront restaurant right on the Manatee River. Beautiful views whether you sit inside or outside, especially watching the boats go by. The atmosphere is relaxed, the setting is hard to beat, and it’s a perfect spot to enjoy a meal by the water. Would definitely come back. Plenty of parking with a shuttle offered as well since the building is at the end of a Pier. Added bonus it was Wine Wednesday | $9 house bottles of wine!

★★★★★ 5.0 Joseph Leetz · Jan 2026

Views are unmatched. Sitting right in the Manatee river, it was beautiful. Prices were reasonable when considering fine dining. I had expected the bill to be much higher considering the location and presentation, but it was surprisingly affordable for a nice night out. We tried the lobster pot pie, and they did not skimp out on the lobster chunks. Definitely recommend giving it a try. Note that upstairs and downstairs are 2 separate restaurants, with separate menus/prices ranges.
