Fine Dining Restaurants near Bradenton, FL

“I booked a surprise sunset dinner for my husband’s birthday and it was fabulous! The table was beautifully decorated and the food was great. Jenee was very easy to work with and even developed a back up plan in case of rain (which we didn’t need). Highly recommend this experience for anyone considering a special event.“

“A very pleasant surprise that we stumbled upon. We decided to drive back into IMG at the 53rd Street entrance. We found the Legacy hotel. That’s where we found the cozy Icon grill. It happened to be happy hour an appetizers were half off along with drink specials. The food was excellent and we have shared this special place with many friends. The atmosphere was a bit loud since it sits almost in the hotel lobby. The outside is quiet and beautiful, sitting on a small lagoon.“

“Great food and great service. Our waiter Rogelio was excellent. Very nice ambiance, highly recommend Harry's.“

“Steaks were so good they melted in your mouth. Love the lobster mac and cheese. Wedge salad is also very good. Found out we can take our own wine (with a $25 corkage fee)--GAME CHANGER! Now we can dine here more often with the wine of our choice.“

“An Exquisite Culinary Gem — Worth Every Bite and Every Moment! Euphemia Haye is nothing short of a culinary treasure on Longboat Key — a rare combination of world-class cuisine, romantic ambiance, and impeccable service that turns a meal into a memory. Extraordinary doesn’t begin to cover it. 😊Every dish was prepared with intentionality, artistry, and flavors that sing. The peppered steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with bold seasoning and succulent texture. Even the salads were elevated: fresh, inventive, and beautifully plated. But wait until you ascend to the Haye Loft — a magical dessert and after-dinner cocktail lounge unlike anything we’ve experienced. We were dazzled by the live music, the cozy, retro-cool vibe, and of course… the legendary dessert bar. From the banana cream pie to the flourless chocolate torte, every sweet was handcrafted, decadent, and delightful. Service was flawless throughout. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food and experience. They anticipated our needs before we even realized we had them — the mark of true hospitality excellence. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want to enjoy one of the finest dining experiences in Florida, Euphemia Haye is unmissable. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a destination. And we’ll be returning every chance we get. Bravo to the entire team!🌟“
