12 Best Wine Bars near Bradenton Beach

“Last night we had our first visit to Bamboo Island, a delightful, open air Resturant with a view of Bridge Street, and WOW! I’ve got to say it was amazing! The menu is exciting and different from any other Resturant on the island! Not the same old- same old menu you see everywhere! The craft cocktails were amazing! We ordered the Rio, (delicious steak) , The Anna Maria( grouper ) and the special which was lamb chops with fettuccine …. Then on to desserts! All were incredible ! And to note one thing that stood out to me is that this Resturant is a FAMILY business from chefs to bartender to waitress! Please do yourself a favor and check this out!“

“Dropped in by chance in August while visiting from Scotland. We were blown away by the welcome and such a lovely surprise to find I could have a few beers while my girls shopped for gifts. Met new friends at the bar too after sitting for a few hours. Legendary status in my book and we will be back for sure. So pleased to see you are bouncing back too following the recent Hurricanes. Anna Maria Strong for sure. Steven, Jennifer and Cailin“

“First time visiting. Very cute downtown location. Parking can be a little tight. We ordered the Cheese Flatbread and the special of the day the Beef Tenderloin Board. The flatbread was good and the tenderloin board was amazing. We had sweet tea to drink which turned out to be a sweetened light green tea. Very tasty and refreshing. We enjoyed that surprise.“

“Lived up to every expectation we had. The place is beautiful, staff wonderful and food amazing. Sitting at the bar was the way to go. It let us see into the kitchen, ask wine and food questions and engage with the staff. The level of service was spectacular. It’s also a wine lovers dream. And the quality of food is second to none. Their charcuterie plates are a must and the burger was one of the best we’ve ever had. Both featured foie gras and created one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Chateau 13 is simply an exceptional dining experience!“

“My mother and I drove quite a ways to have lunch at Harry's because she could use a special treat after some arduous days. Right from arrival the staff was warm, welcoming, and catered to our every need. The pace was just right, never rushed, and always right there when we needed them. The food was delicious and there were plenty for leftovers, too. A wonderful experience.“

“Without a doubt the best restaurant in the area. Perfect, old style French. Family run.“

“We had a great experience tonight! With two littles, they knowingly placed us in front of the fish tank to help with entertainment. Our server was speedy, kind, and had honest and helpful recommendations for the food. Everything was fast, fresh, and delicious. The lobster bisque, lobster mac and cheese, Salmon Renee, and Blood Orange Margarita were the table faves! We are Tampa locals and will be back!“

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

“Everything we had was delicious! Can't wait to go back!“

“Decided to go here on a Wednesday evening and there weren't many people there. Usually a red flag but we are in off season and their prices aren't super consistent with having a ton of people. Anyway.
Service was excellent and had a great conversation while getting excellent food service.
Food quality was incredible as there was incredible depth to the food. The portion size isn't what I'm used to at most Italian restaurants. They were far smaller than usual. However. I preferred the smaller plates and focus on quality. This is one of the hidden gems on the key. Please, especially if you prefer a home cooked, reasonably portioned Italian food.... Do it. I will be ordering takeout (at least) and should provide an updated review if anything changes.

Please, if you're out here reading this, give it a shot.“

“Our waitress was awesome and the food was delicious. I loved the coconut shrimp 🍤 and our drinks were so good!“
