“One of my favorite spots on the island is this place, especially when Olivia is our server. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, she knows just how to lift my spirits; I can't stand boring servers. The street tacos are fantastic, and the nachos are a must. The margaritas are always strong and never watered down. Thanks for the great experience, Olivia and team!“

“Paula makes the most delicious vegan comfort food. I am NOT a vegan, and I still love everything she makes. The Cuban sandwich and Mac and Cheez are my favorites, as well as the Brussels sprouts. Be sure to check out some of the tasty desserts and the purple butterfly tea as well.

The restaurant is located in Palmetto in a cute historic building, which is always fun to visit. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or carnivore, I highly recommend visiting Happy Soul!“

“Lea and Dan run a fantastic place! They heard it was our anniversary date and got us the best seat with a 180° view of the water. Treated my wife and I to a fantastic slice of cheesecake.

Thanks Dan for the business card, ill email you!“

“Don't have an attitude? the host or Hostess will happily give you one. I would buy this restaurant just to fire them. Local? they'll treat you like a tourist which you would think they would be good to because they are the suckers they are dying to get in. " Hi how long for 2 people"? an hour to an hour and a half out of season.... no "I'm sorry, the wait is over an hour" nope you get "Fair enough" when you say you don't want to wait that long. no reservations yet some dude with a party of 4 just walked right in and was seated.... over rated is an understatement. AVOID ...NOT WORTH IT. Possibly the most overrated restaurant in an area of bad restaurants“

“Excellent place for good food“

“Most amazing German food that I’ve ever had. Servers were very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes that the chef creates. Add in authentic German beer and this place is a must visit. Definitely worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. I could eat here every meal as there are many options and everything tastes wonderful. Sehr gutt und wundebar!“

“We love this place!…the food and ambience are fantastic!, plus the service is first rate!…In fact we had the same server we had last May when we were here on vacation and she remembered us!, now that we will be living down here, definitely will be eating there a lot more!…If you want great home cooked food, with Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options, this is the place to go!!!“

“It was a stormy day that ended with a rainbow at Mar Vista. The food was perfect!!“

“Delicious food friendly attentive service ! Big menu many mouth watering choices!“

“My fiancé and I had dinner here earlier this evening and it was sooo good! We had the basil fried rice with scallops for the entree and vegetable egg rolls for the appetizer. We will definitely be back! Delicious food and great atmosphere!“

“Great staff & ice cream! My family and I go to Anna Maria for vacation and this is definitely a stop we make multiple times each trip! Thank you for a great time!“

“Amazing Tacos!! ❤️ Every type of taco you can think of trying! Shrimp/Fish are my favorites!“

“Our absolute favorite Indian Restaurant in Sarasota Bradenton. It's delicious, the staff is friendly, and they are willing to make oil-free vegan options. So much flavor. We tried this place the week they opened a couple of years ago and were apprehensive when we saw the exterior and the location. We walked in and the smell was amazing and it was classy looking inside. They staff was so friendly. The food was delicious. We have been going back ever since.“

“Oh where to start!
We were vacationing in Anna Maria for our 10th year and Beach Bistro was recommended for my birthday outing.
We called ahead and found that you have 2 choices here- the 4 course Dinner in main dining room- or- a la carte from bar area.
We chose the latter.
It was beautiful in looks right off. Old wood, low ceilings etc. Very warm and inviting!

Greeted by our bartender who was so gracious and kind.
Led us through anything we asked and made a fabulous drink !
We enjoyed those 2 hours more than we could say.
The food was one good bite after another !
We started with a fresh salad, then an appetizer of shrimp & crab which were perfect.
Entree was Lobster tail and Grouper. All fantastic!
The dessert was vanilla ice cream rolled in pralines topped with slivered almonds and Frangelica!
Still thinking of that now!

Cannot wait to go back next year as this is our new place to be !“

“Totally worth the wait for their re-opening! Absolutely amazing food and cocktails and not as pricey as one would think! Amazing, knowledgeable staff…listen to what they say and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Danny Fernandez is BACK!!!! The REAL Danny's Pizzeria is BACK!!!! I was soooo happy to see Danny behind the counter when I walked in. I have been going to Danny's Pizzeria for years until the new ownership happened, ate once, twice, three times then never again. Now that Danny is back, I am sure it will be a weekly event once again. Had lunch 12/10/22, service was 100% top notch, and the food was excellent, as it once was! Thank you for coming back!“

“I love Solozarnos! The food tastes great and the prices are good.“

“Delicious Pizza 🍕. Will definitely come back. Great prices and friendly staff“

“We visited Sushi Ramen AMI twice last week because food is so delicious. We tried miso pork ramen, spicy pork ramen, chicken fried rice, chicken curry and mango rice for desert. Everything was so flavorful and looked beautiful. May was very attentive and helpful with explaining dishes. The place is clean and nice, you can see a chef preparing fresh sushi. I highly recommend Sushi Ramen AMI.“

“Huge portions. Everything we tried was tender and fall off the bone. Best fried catfish I've had“

“We love this place!…the food and ambience are fantastic!, plus the service is first rate!…In fact we had the same server we had last May when we were here on vacation and she remembered us!, now that we will be living down here, definitely will be eating there a lot more!…If you want great home cooked food, with Vegan, Vegetarian and Gluten Free options, this is the place to go!!!“

“Always stop here when we are in town. It's not the fanciest or probably the best food but it's locally owned and something unique to the area. Always love supporting smaller businesses and have always had great service while eating at a place with a unique atmosphere“

“The owner was working in the shop this morning. She knows about her products, and it is hard to make a protein smoothie taste good and have low sugar. Maxx Nutrtion exceeded my expectations with the 76 gram protein shake I got, and it also only had 12 grams of sugar. That’s a big deal in the shake world. Thanks!“

“Pineapple surf was soooo good today“

“Amazing Cuban Sandwich and very friendly staff!“

“We got 5 mini fresh eggrolls, 2 salmon and tuna rolls and a fried chicken rice bowl. Split between 2 people. It was great and our server was so sweet. So cute and kind. So much food it was hard to finish. It was delicious! I recommend for sure.“

“Best. Pho. Come here for a lot years already and was upset when saw the negative reviews, never ever had a bad experience here. We came in- sat - gave our order in 2 minutes and received our food. What else do you need? Fresh Pho, great spring rolls and prices. For picky people- cook your own Pho at home.“

“This place had THE BEST bagel breakfast sandwiches! Fresh and REAL ingredients and the owner and staff were amazing! We will definitely frequent this place a few times whenever we’re blessed to be on the island. They made you feel like old friends, like we were locals. We talked about it the whole way to the airport. Thanks Jackie for the wonderful send off! Curious George and Jenn.“

“I have absolutely fallen in love with Poppo’s on Manatee Avenue! Over the last couple of weeks, this has become my go-to lunch spot. The food is always consistent, fresh, and flavorful. My order never changes: the steak burrito & they’re rolled so perfectly.

What sets this Poppo’s apart is the staff. They are personable, welcoming, and attentive. They consistently recognize me and my order, greeting me with a friendly “steak burrito?” as soon as I walk in. Their thoughtfulness and hospitality speaks volumes about how much they value their customers.

I am strongly encouraging you to go to this location because they have earned my loyalty. If you want a place with top-quality food, kind people, and a neighborhood feel, Poppo’s on Manatee Ave is it. Be Well 💫“

“I would give the service a 10. Charles at the bar was Outstanding! Great recommendations on cocktails and dinner. We will be back to this beautiful resort/hotel and of course Roof Top restaurant thanks to Charles at the bar at Oyster River Rooftop Restaurant!“

“The overall service use to be amazing at this Olive Garden. We have come here several times over the years and this is the worst front staff I’ve ever experienced. I checked in and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and told them that I had people coming but instead of seating us after 25 minutes passed I came up to ask the pregnant hostess if they were waiting for my party or something because we’ve been waiting and she was like oh yeah yeah we are without so much as looking at me or apologizing for the wait. There were several of them up there that were just laughing and joking around unprofessionally and the pregnant hostess was eating up there talking with the other ladies at the podium while they ignored us. She disappeared completely for several minutes and after 30 minutes I asked a girl who showed up if we were going to be seated because my party was waiting. She said she would check because she just got there. She went to find the pregnant hostess and told her we were waiting 30 minutes and my daughter overheard her denying it. I’m just not used to that at any restaurant. If you tell me 15 minutes and it’s not busy in there then we have better be seated whether we are waiting for people to arrive or not. It put me in such a terrible mood that I wanted to leave but thankfully our waiter came right away and was amazing. He was very attentive and kind and I felt he deserved a good tip. What made me write this review was when we left there were a gaggle of women at the front with the pregnant hostess and we all noticed that they just stared at us and didn’t say the usual thank you have a good night. No one bothered to politely open the door like they have always done for us in the past. You just knew that they we’re talking bad about you. If this is what this Olive Garden restaurant is turning into then I have to stop coming. I don’t know what’s up with those women but this is their place of work not a place to gossip and bullshit about their life or talk shit about their paying customers who are there to be treated with some measure of respect and kindness when they are out with their family for dinner. I hope a manager sees this review and addresses this issue of plain rudeness. We are also not white and so obviously white people were being treated better and seated immediately. By the way, our pregnant hostess was black but for some reason thinks it’s ok to be rude to us. If this ever happens to us again, a complaint will definitely be filed to your corporate management or the BBB. I will not tolerate this behavior in front of my family.“

“My wife and I came for dinner. The New Age Flatbread was AWESOME. Crust was amazing.. Shrimp Cocktail Great! and Osso Bucco was to die for! The meat fell off the bone and melted in you mouth. Kirby was our server and was just terrific.. She was friendly and very attentive.“

“We have never had Thai Cuisine before and could not be more pleased with the food. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The service was excellent, portion size and prices were great! Highly recommend 🙂!“

“Someone needs to give the manager and his staff a raise. They are some of the most kind, attentive food service workers I have encountered in quite some time. You don't even have to love Panera's food to enjoy your time at this location.“

“Absolutely love Demi’s! The Phò is amazing and they offer a few spice levels if you’re feeling risky! The dumplings and bánh mì are also a must for some apps. Skip the chain and head over to Demi’s❤️“

“Brunch! The best! Great service, food excellent. Definitely will be back and it’s local for us...“
